Some consider them to be the next step to ruin, and others can\u2019t get enough of them. Where\u2019s the catch, and can cryptos really be used as a way to outsmart the system and beat the house? How many different cryptocurrencies are there? Is it possible to have one crypto wallet for several of them? (Short answer is yes, check the page about <a href=\"https:\/\/norskcasinohex.com\/casino-pa-nett\/coinspaid\/\">CoinsPaid casino<\/a> to find out more). We talked to <a href=\"https:\/\/norskcasinohex.com\/author\/gilfred\/\">Gilfred Helmonsen<\/a>, an online gaming specialist and the mastermind behind one of the most popular sites devoted to gaming in the whole of Scandinavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe thing about cryptos is that they still have a strong novelty factor, despite being around for almost two decades. They are not particularly new or fresh, but they are surrounded by mystery, as they are not regulated like fiat currencies. Pages about CoinsPaid casinos are noting increased traffic\u201d, open is Helmonsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Why Use Cryptos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why should one use cryptos in the first place? The expert claims this is where the entire trick begins. As many authorities aim to control transactions, and bank list casino transactions for everyone to see, players have found a way to reach their gaming platforms through back alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/coinspaid.com\/\">Crypto transactions<\/a> are private and discreet. All you need is a crypto address that is a set of random numbers, symbols, and letters. It doesn\u2019t reveal who you are in any way, and never shows on a slip. It is impossible to say who is behind it\u201d, says Helmonsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how long will things stay that way? The expert warns many governments are starting initiatives to regulate cryptos, most frequently by implementing the taxation system. \u201cOnce the tax services hit you on the head, privacy is no longer there. We have to wait and see if this trick will stick around\u201d, he\u2019s honest.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-anna-tarazevich-14751274.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Laptop computer showing crypto data on its screen.

Basically, it is games that come with a special formula, any player can use to see if the outcome of the hand or spin played is according to the RTP listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helmonsen is thrilled by this new and exciting feature but advises players it doesn\u2019t mean they will win more, or beat the odds: \u201cThe role of such tools is to endorse trust between the company and the player. Just because the game is provably fair, it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll win all the time, only that you can test the result. The RTP is still something to keep in mind, and a massive factor when choosing an online game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judging by his words, provably fair games are created to give you peace of mind, and not to let you mess with outcomes and false accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>New Types of Bonuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto market also introduced new types of bonuses and special offers that can hardly be compared with standard ones. The casino expert elaborates that most real crypto-bonuses are based on the player\u2019s activity and achievements, and less frequently on mere deposits. In his opinion, this is where being part of the community can be a nice trick to have on the sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe more active you are, the bigger are the chances you\u2019ll be able to take significant advantage of crypto-specific bonuses such as rains and faucets. Unlike regular online casinos, in crypto ones, you can be rewarded simply for hanging out with the right crowds, people who want to celebrate with you\u201d, reveals the expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the end, he repeats the words of wisdom players often forget: \u201cDon\u2019t play with cryptos if they seem intimidating. Fiat currencies may work just fine for you!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talked to Gilfred Helmonsen, an online gaming specialist and the mastermind behind one of the
