Betswap

Betswap is a cryptocurrencies sports betting platform with slot and live casino games on the side, who are slowly pushed into the background by an emerging proprietary crypto token that, the casino, hopes will become its main feature and reason d'etre. It relies on a niche audience, since crypto casinos haven't yet managed to become a standalone thing. But props to Betswap for trying, and in the meanwhile there's a pretty deep and entertaining casino here while you wait.

BONUSES

The first of two major letdowns that are stains to a great casino, is that there are no bonuses in place whatsoever. Nothing's been discussed here, so we will have to move on to other other elements to consider.

LICENSE

Betswap is operated by BSGG Labs N.V. a company that is fully registered and regulated in Curacao. It holds a Curacao eGaming license, which is one of the best locally, and one of the most sought after in the world.

A license, any license, including this one, must first and foremost protect the clientele of a casino by enforcing rules on said casino. These are safety and security rules, enforced by the latest data protection protocols, anti fraud measure, SSL encryption servers, and more.

But the casino has to also be fair, and thus all games have to rely on random number generators for their outcomes to be completely unexpected, just as it is in the offline world. All games at Betswap are fair to play with and unbiased, meaning that users will either win or lose purely out of luck.

Also very important is the provision of good and solid customer support, whihc may seem like something unimportant but in the long run it's as crucial as any other requirement. It is vital for the user to feel right at home, comfortable, not only safe but relaxed, and this happens only if all his needs are met. And where might one go to if he needs answers to question? To the support team, which by the way holds the whole casino's reputation on edge each time.

But Curacao casinos aren't all rules; there's a reason why its such a sought after jurisdiction. Mainly because all 4 regulation based out it Curacao grants unprecedented amounts of freedom for casinos. Betswap wouldn't have been here without this license. No other regulator would tolerate such diversity.

One thing that we would like to mention is that the casino has a very heavy and obvious reliance on cryptocurrencies, as it also has its very own proprietary blockchain based crypto token. We wanted to warn user that crypto assets are volatile and their price can change suddenly and without warning, and this extends to the crypto owned and offered by the casino; it is not exempt from this rule.

We noticed in the legal document that the firm grants itself the right to terminate the account of a user without giving him any warning whatsoever, without warning at that, making things difficult for the client. There are indemnification clauses that state the user cannot legally blame or cannot hold the casino responsible for any damages this clause can cause him. Despite this being a shady clause, it is tolerated by Curacao. We wanted to warn users of this.

Languages: English, Italian, French, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian

Restricted countries: Australia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Show All, Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, Curaçao, France, Saint Martin (French part), Singapore, Spain, United States

DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL

Currencies: Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), Bitcoin (BTC)

This biggest let down of the casino is that there are absolutely no payment details' no payment mehtods, no minimum deposits nor withdrawal,  no processing times, etc.

The only real thing that we can talk about is the presence of system charges as well as currency conversion fees. The former are applied to most transactions by the payment method, while the latter are fees when the currency you are investing in is not accepted by the casino and has to, therefore, be converted to one that it does accept.

GAMES AND GAME SUPPLIERS

Overall, the website of Betswap is crisp and smooth, running very well, and gaming a compendium of games. One thing we did not understand was why the casino had to hide its slot and live casino games. At first we thought there were no live games, but later on we found out that there were, only that they have been take out of the spotlight. The same is for the slots.

And why hide them? There's nothing to hide here, and in fact for a website that focuses on its sports betting platform, it has an above average collection of classic casino games.

Starting of with the video slots, Betswap offers the big hitters like Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Big Bass Bonanza, The Dog House, Sugar Rush, Wolf Gold, Starlight Princess, Eye of Horus, Rio Gems, Tiger Gems, Golden Dragon, Charms and Clover, Mr. Vegas, as well as more common and not so popular games, granting all kinds of users a varieed library of gaming titles. There are also specific games such as Bonus Buy games where the user can purchase special mini features from within the slot games itself, Megaways slots which are bigger slots with thousands of ways to win, and lastly Jackpot slots which what they are- get the right combination and you may win a huge jackpot. It's definitely not a highlight of the casino, but it feels like it, and this is a testament to Betswap's great attitude and aptitude.

Then we move on to the live games which offer versions of Blackjack, Baccarat, Poker, Game Shows, and Roulette, constituting a very solid collection of games. Again, this is exceptionally good for something that was not supposed to be a in the spotlight.

We also have some table games which are basically non-live and slightly outdated version of most live games. The casino today offers Blackjack, Sic Bo, Roulette, and Baccarat, and version of these three. It's not a lot and not all that impressive, but still we appreciate the casino including them nevertheless.

Finally we come to the crown piece, the cherry on top, the sportsbook around which, it seems, Betswap was build upon. And what a foundation to be set upon. The  sports betting platform is one of the smoothest and cleanest ones we have seen, which is due to its somewhat simplistic interface. But this comes at a price of being limited in some aspects. It's definitely not the biggest or most complex betting software around but it does a great job nonetheless. What also helps is the addition of great sports and sporting events, such as Tennis, Basketball, American Football, Cricket, Baseball, Hokey, Volleyball, Table Tennis, Darts, Snooker, and more. Overall, the terminal presents an exciting and a top addition to this great online casino.

Then we move on to the e-sports betting platform, whihc is its own beast, and seems more like a separate platform that a portion of the bigger sportsbook. It includes dozens of the most popular online multiplayer games like Counter Strike, League of Legends, Warcraft, Starcraft, Dota, and more. There's plenty of room here for clients to explore and try out new betting strategies.

For a casino that focuses on its sportsbook, it sure has a great choice of live and slot games, and this is a great approach, one that can only make the casino stronger and more popular.

In spite this, Betswap comes up with its most surprising feature yet, its very own crypto token called BSGG. It seems to be a feature of its own, one that is yet to be completed and offered fully.

Still, the best way to describe this token without going into any technical details is to simply compare it to any of the hundreds of others cryptocurrencies out there. And it really is just like that, but this one is founded by a gambling platform, which is sort of ironic since cryptocurrencies are a gamble in their own right.

The BSGG token is the masterwork of the casino, and Betswap is proud of it as it makes clear multiple times. This is a multi-chain token meaning that users of different blockchains can interact with it. One of its main benefits is that holding it grants users a discount on fees whihc just sounds ridiculous. As of writing this there are apparently 10 000 000 000 $BSGG tokens in circulation, whihc we cannot check, nut can tell you that this means that the individual token must be very cheap.

For now the only real use of the token is staking, essentially being a way to lock your crypto holding into the blockchain's mainframe to support the circulation of the given crypto asset, in our case the BSGG. In return the user may get more crypto, which can be exchange for pure profit.
Coming soon is a “Earn BSGG” feature that will, most probably, allow users to take part in some quiz where they can earn more coins. However, the burning question remains if the toke can be used to play games and deposit money in one's Betswap casino account. We think yes, but the platform never openly discusses this.

We seem to have distanced our selves from the casino discussion, talking about tokens and whatnot.

CONCLUSION

The casino seems to focus on its crypto development so much that it does not care for the two major omissions we mentioned: lack of bonuses and the payment info void. Other than that, we like Betswap, and we wish it luck with its future projects, while for standard clients this can be the beginning of a new friendship, one that can mold into something else entirely.
