The world has been loud from the FIFA World Cup games recently that are being organized and played in Russia right now. Millions of people cheer all over the globe for their favorite teams. Altogether 32 teams are taking part in the series and we are currently at the second week of the group stages.

The reason why we are going into this topic is that there is a fantastic relationship between cryptocurrencies and sports events, which is the ability to easily place bets with crypto via websites that accept it. The problem in several countries is that betting is either illegal, heavily restricted (hassle with registration, documents, etc.) or deposits and withdrawals take too much time and to be worth the money especially for casual players.

Here comes crypto into the picture, which is the ultimate solution. These new currencies allow for borderless and hassle free gambling and betting with low deposit times, easy withdrawals and low costs.

We wanted to collect the 3 biggest sites that offer the ability to do betting via crypto and, which also feature the FIFA World Cup games:

Cloudbet is one of the most popular Bitcoin accepting betting sites to date. The portal offers privacy focused betting opportunities as all you need for a registration is a valid email address and some BTCs to spend. Cloudbet is also a licensed betting site by E-Gambling Montenegro. Minimum deposit and withdrawals are 0.001 BTC while the minimum bet for any game is 0.0001 BTC. The platform also offers top-notch security as every deposit made towards the website will automatically go to a cold storage wallet.

Cloudbet also offers a 100% signup bonus up to 5 BTC currently. 2FA is available for securing the account.

Crypto accepted: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash

While NitrogenSports offers no deposit bonuses unlike Cloudbet, it is one of the most anonymous and privacy focused platforms currently on the market as signups are possible even without using an email. The minimum bet limit here 0.001, which is quite higher. Jackpots and fun promotions are constantly available on the portal and the site claims to have instant transactions and extensive sports coverages.

2FA is available for securing the account.

Crypto accepted: Bitcoin

BetOnline supports both credit and debit cards, but also cryptocurrency deposits. This site seems to be the least privacy focused from the so far mentioned sites as you both have to include your real name and a date of birth when signing up. On the positive side, the platform also owns a downloadable desktop client, a refer-a-friend program and an 50% deposit bonus when you deposit crypto. Deposits are near instant, but withdrawals will take up to 1-2 days. Special promotions like the World Cup Pick’em that includes a $10,000 price are available on every major event.

Crypto accepted: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin
