General Procedure

For almost all the online casino games there are some general steps that need to be done before playing. For playing Bitcoin roulette, these are the necessary steps:

  • Create a Bitcoin wallet
  • Get Bitcoins
  • Register an account at some of the Bitcoin Casinos
  • Deposit Bitcoins
  • Start playing

Bitcoins and Wallet Information

In order to be able to transfer Bitcoins to and from your online casino account, you have to have a Bitcoin wallet loaded with Bitcoins. Creating a Bitcoin wallet is simple and easy and there are various online or offline wallets, which are popular and safe to use. Some of the best-known are Coinbase, Blockchain, Armory, Electrum and etc.

Purchasing Bitcoins is also very easy. There are many online Bitcoins exchanges (ExpressCoin, BTCE, Bitstamp) where customers can buy and sell Bitcoins anytime.

Registering an Account

Before deciding to register an account with a certain Bitcoin Casino and start playing, you should check its reputation, security and license. Furthermore, it is recommended to register with a Provably Fair Bitcoin Casino where there is no manipulation of the outcomes.

The registering process by itself is similar at most of the Bitcoin casinos. Very little personal information is needed and usually all that needs to be provided is a username, password and a valid e-mail address.

Depositing Bitcoins

The last step before being able to play is depositing Bitcoins to your account. At most of the Bitcoins casinos this is not complicated at all. Usually there is a QR code that needs to be scanned or an address is given to which you should send the Bitcoins from your wallet. Sometimes there is a deposit bonus that can be claimed and this increases your playing amount.

Basic Roulette Rules

Bitcoin roulette is one of the games that offers some variations on one hand, but, on the other hand, they all have similar rules. There are some standard rules that apply to the game, no matter if we talk about the American, European or French version of it.

Placing Bets

Some Bitcoin casinos offer playing just for fun or for Bitcoins. When wagering Bitcoins, the player generally uses the cursor to place the bets on the layout. The standard European layout has numbers from 1-36 on it, plus the single zero green field. Additionally, there are fields for outside bets, such as betting on red, black, odd, even or different set of numbers (1-18, 19-36, etc.).

Most of the Bitcoin casinos, unless you play at a VIP table, set minimum and maximum bets. So, after you select the desired bet amount and place it on one or several fields, the betting process is over and you wait for the results.

Spinning Wheel

Next to the layout is the spinning wheel with pockets from 1-36 plus the single zero (and double zero if it's American roulette) that provides the outcome. After the players place their bets the wheel starts spinning. As the wheel is slowing down, the little ball eventually lands in one of the pockets giving out the winning number.

Win or Lose

Depending on the bets you placed, you either win or lose all or some of the Bitcoins. The system instantly tells you the winning amount, leaving the winning bets on the table and removing the losing ones. After this, you can choose to bet again on the same numbers or clear the bets and start fresh.

Choose Provably Fair Bitcoin Roulette

Some Bitcoin casinos are Provably Fair. This means that they use modern technology which makes it impossible for the casinos to manipulate the outcomes in a way that suits them. It is recommended to players to choose these casinos and be sure that the games they play are safe and fair.
