The advent of technology is a lot like the gift horse that keeps on giving. The innovation that brought about online casinos introduced convenience on monumental levels. Many avid gamblers realized that they could access their beloved casino games not only in the comfort of their homes but also on the go via internet-enabled mobile devices. Besides, sifting through the chaff to find top online casinos became as easy as clicking a few buttons.
Cryptocurrencies are further heightening this convenience by allowing users to make deposits and seek withdrawals while incurring near-nil transaction costs. Besides, cryptocurrency transactions are pseudo-anonymous, an important feature for individuals that prefer that their gambling activities remain private. The place of crypto in the future of online casino is cemented by these three facts; the coins offer online safety and security as well as anonymity, well…to a wide extent.
The Context
The discourse about the future of online casinos has looked more in terms of the union between crypto and the gambling houses. A decent approach, however, should look at the two independent variables and evaluate what each of them brings to the table.
To do so successfully, it is important to define the variables.

Russia’s Anti-Piracy Deal to Delete Content From Search Engines Extended Until 2021 |
Twitter Facebook reddit Pinterest Hacker News LinkedIn Tumblr Google+ VKontakte When leading content companies and distributors plus Yandex, Rambler Group, Mail.Ru Group, vKontakte, and RuTube signed up to a landmark anti-piracy memorandum in 2018, new ground was broken in Russia. Assisted by the creation of a centralized database of allegedly-infringing content, Internet platforms agreed to voluntarily query the resource in near real-time before deleting content from their search indexes. The plan was to make pirated content harder for users to find and within months, hundreds of thousands of links were being purged. The end-game was to have the terms of the agreement written into local law but as some expected, things didn’t run entirely to plan. Early October 2019, with the memorandum a year old, it effectively timed out. Negotiations ensued and a short extension was agreed but a deadline of end October came and went without a draft being presented to parliament. With another deadline missed, an automatic extension to end December 2019 came into play but it’s now clear that the plan to formalize the agreement in law…

Germany’s Dominant Political Parties Are Mulling a Euro-backed Stablecoin
Germany’s dominant political parties, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU), are mulling a “digital euro” stablecoin that would be controlled and administered by central banks. Conceived as a faster alternative to the fiat euro, the digital euro, or “e-euro” will not be “new money,” according to a government report released last week. Instead, its purpose will be to “digitize a small part of the existing money supply and make it accessible to a global infrastructure” and “create a serious interface between fiat currencies and the token economy.” That would include Bitcoin, Ether and ERC-20 tokens. The token would be built on a smart-contract enabled blockchain (in name, at least) run by central banks and regulated by law enforcement. “In criminal activities, for example, the e-euro can be frozen and if necessary be canceled or confiscated,” according to the report. “The e-euro could be used in cross-border transport for simple, inexpensive and fast payment.” According to German news site Handesblatt, the idea for the e-euro was driven in part by the announcement of Facebook’s so-called cryptocurrency, Libra, which will…

$10K Bitcoin Price Back in Play? Key Metric Hints at Next Supercycle
Bitcoin (BTC) price continues to grow week in and week out, as another 9% has been added to its value since last Sunday. However, with the block reward halving being just over two weeks away, and mining difficulty set to increase another 5% in little over a week, is the bull market now upon us? Or will the halving be another non-event much like other hyped up narratives like Bakkt, institutional money entering, or the VanEck Bitcoin ETF? Today, I want to look at a couple of different scenarios that I am watching for in the week ahead. Daily crypto market performance. Source: Coin360.com The top of the channel BTC USD daily chart.
