When operators can identify value at the first interaction and remove friction at the point of payment, they stop reacting to crypto players and start controlling their value.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GR8 Tech preps for World Cup&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The World Cup\u2019s potential for customer acquisition is widely recognised. The tournament attracts a huge range of bettors, including many who rarely wager, while patriotic punting is also a common behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives operators a big chance to secure customers from their competitors. With crypto users, GR8 Tech believes that annual transfers, copied addresses, and app switching can slow down a journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm wants to make this process simpler. These upgrades are just the latest in a series of enhancements the company has made ahead of the World Cup, including expansions to its sportsbook and casino propositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also certainly true that crypto betting has become more and more popular in recent years, in line with the more widespread adoption of crypto as an investment asset and payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto gambling is still somewhat of a regulatory grey area across many markets; however, there are signs that this may change.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Estonia <\/strong>has been earmarked by some as a potential focal point for the future of regulated crypto gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Betting technology company GR8 Tech views the World Cup as an ideal opportunity for betting companies to connect with crypto enthusiasts.
