What is going to be the impact of blockchain on the gambling industry?

That is one of the questions that will be asked at the upcoming ICE Totally Gaming 2017 conference. Cryptocurrencies are heavily integrated into various aspects of the online gambling industry, and 2016 saw the traditional online gambling industry start to adopt the digital cash system.

Even online gambling pioneer Calvin Ayre is bullish on the adoption of popular digital currency bitcoin.

“Mark my words: Bitcoin is eventually going to eat the whole global online gambling industry and the first courses of this meal are already being digested. Quite apart from liberating gambling sites from the anti-competitive dictates of government-imposed payment blocking, the blockchain technology underpinning Bitcoin is rapidly making the role of gaming regulators obsolete,” wrote Ayre.
