In the last couple years, Bitcoin has become the preferred online money transfer service for the gaming industry and provides the quickest, cheapest and most secure way to transfer cash in and out of your wagering account. You simply buy Bitcoin, and then send it to the online casino where it will be exchanged back into dollars and transferred to your player account.
