Bitcoin Rush Sportsbook Review
Bitcoin Rush is a relatively well established bitcoin betting platform having launched in 2013. It offers customers both a sportsbook and casino option.
The casino games option is particularly inviting as it doesn’t force you to download or open any external software; it’s all built into the platform. As with an increasing number of bitcoin and cryptocurrency betting platforms users do not need to register or even give an email, they can play completely anonymously and deposit and withdraw as such. Of course it does have this option for players that want to keep track of their betting history on the site.
It states that it was the “first Bitcoin Sportsbook to offer truly Provably Fair Bitcoin Casino Games”.
Bitcoin Rush is a part of umbrella company Monster Bytes Inc., which is a technology company based in Panama. This is completely transparent and is mentioned on the site’s homepage which is a good sign. Monster Bytes also runs PeerBet and Bit777.
Bitcoin Rush has a few ambassadors promoting its product the twitter handle @degenbet1 and @theog__ often tweet about sports and bitcoinrush´s odds. You can also find discussion about bitcoinrush in the telegram channel t.me/sportsbet. It does not currently sponsor any sporting competitions or leagues. When it comes to social media it has a presence on the big ones; Facebook and Twitter. The Twitter (@casinobitcoin) has over 2000 followers whilst its Facebook has only about 200 Likes. Their twitter is active tweeting out almost everyday.
Betting Markets
Bitcoin Rush has recently expanded the range of betting markets that it offers. It also beats or meets the odds of other bitcoin sportsbooks on a daily basis. They also offer asian handicap betting.
There is a long list of soccer games to choose from, MMA, NFL, College Basketball, College Football as well as NHL, Tennis and more.
Live Betting
Bitcoin Rush allows live betting on the sprinkling of sports markets it offers. Live betting is vital for any bookmaker in this day and age, and streaming should accompany this as it does with the top bookies out there.
Bitcoin Rush does not offer live streaming and as with its sportsbook options live betting is naturally also limited but have expanded since the last time we wrote about them.
Usability of the site
As a part of Monster Bytes, which also runs PeerBet and Bit777, Bitcoin Rush is well established as a bitcoin casino first and foremost and as a bitcoin sportsbook.
The layout of the sportsbook has been updated and is much cleaner than the last time we visted. It is easy to navigate.
The casino is simple to use and easier to navagate than before. The Bitcoin Rush specific feature of the site allows players to play games and compete on a leaderboard for prizes and rewards. Players can try it for free each day (up to three games) against the Faucetbot and the aim is that they’ll enjoy it and keep playing against other real users.
Bitcoin Rush also boasts and Affiliate Program and it has a blog to help drive traffic and engage users on the platform. The blog is basic (in a good way) and gets straight to the point in terms of previews and tips. Customer support is available only in email form (admin@bitcoinrush.io) and the help and support section (with typical Q&As) is in place and helpful.
Bitcoin Rush is strong for promotions and rewards but it needs to do more to educate new users.
