Which one is better for online gaming: Ethereum or Bitcoin?
There is a seemingly eternal debate going on in the online gaming sector. Which of the cryptocurrencies are better suited for online gaming functionality: Ethereum or Bitcoin?
Bitcoin seemed to have a natural first-mover advantage, as it was the original crypto. However, the other one is also catching up really fast.
Which of the two is best suited to the online gaming world? Let’s find out.
First of all, due to Bitcoin being the first ever cryptocurrency it is the most widely accepted as you’d expect. This instantly makes it the most popular for use at online casinos because the operators that accept cryptos will accept Bitcoin. However, its popularity has started to get the better of it at times, with the network often becoming congested; which leads to delays when depositing and withdrawing.
In the past, it was the speed of transactions when using Bitcoin as well as their low fees which made this the payment method of choice for many. Now, with transactions taking longer to process, it is opened a gap in the market where other cryptos could usurp it, with Bitcoin’s huge advantage now seemingly a thing of the past.
Step forward, Ethereum. While Bitcoin may be the number one cryptocurrency, Ethereum runs it a good second and while it operates in the same way as Bitcoin running on a blockchain, it does bring its own features to the table too. One of its unique twists is the use of smart contracts which enforce transactions in the cryptocurrency world.
In terms of its influence in the online gaming sector, Ethereum is growing in popularity, and for very good reasons too. While it may not be as popular as Bitcoin, it does have its advantages and the fact that they capitalise on their rival’s perceived weaknesses show why Ethereum is gaining a head of steam in gambling circles.
Ethereum’s transactions are not only processed a lot faster than Bitcoin’s, but their fees are lower too; which can be all the difference when it comes to deciding whether to game using Bitcoin or Ethereum. We live in a world where speed is everything, people don’t want to have to wait any longer than they need to and with Ethereum they won’t have to.
In terms of the head to head battle, if you want faster processing speeds and lower fees than Ethereum is worth considering. Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies though, it’s by far the most reputable and the fact that it’s the most widely accepted makes it the ultimate choice regardless of decreased speeds and higher fees. In fact, the reality is, players will find that most cryptocurrency gaming sites will most likely accommodate a number of currencies.

In line with its capital allocation strategy and empowered by the mandate received at Kambi’s Extraordinary General Meeting on 18 June 2025 (EGM) the board of directors (Board) of Kambi Group plc (Kambi) has today initiated a share repurchase programmes with a total value of SEK 100 million (€9m).
The programme will run from the date of this announcement until 20 May 2026 and shares acquired will be cancelled at a future date. The maximum number of shares that may be acquired is 1,672,887, and the aggregate purchase price for such acquisitions shall not exceed SEK 100 million (€9m). The aggregate number of shares that may be acquired under the mandate received at Kambi’s EGM is 2,990,362, which is equivalent to 10% of Kambi’s total issued shares at the time of the EGM resolution.
The buyback programme will be carried out in accordance with the Maltese Companies Act (chapter 386 of the laws of Malta), the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Rulebook for Issuers of Shares, the EU Market Abuse Regulation (EU No 596/2014) (MAR), and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the Safe Harbour Regulation). The share buyback programme is intended to benefit from the share buyback safe harbour provisions set out in MAR. To this end Kambi has entered into an agreement with Carnegie Investment Bank AB (Carnegie) to execute the buyback programmes and conduct the share repurchases on Kambi’s behalf.

In particular, Kambi shall not, on any single trading day, purchase more than 25% of the average daily share turnover on Nasdaq First North.

In addition, share repurchases under each programme shall:
- not be made at a price higher than the price of the last independent trade or (should this be higher) higher than the current highest independent purchase bid on Nasdaq First North,
- be made at a price per share within the price interval recorded on Nasdaq First North at any given time, i.e. the interval between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price, and
- not exceed or fall below the maximum and minimum ranges set out in the EGM resolution.
At the time of this announcement, the total number of issued shares in Kambi is 29,903,619.
