The crypto casino market continues to grow, with more than $2.7 billion deposited in to the top 10 casinos by 1.8 million depositors in January.  

Unlike traditional online casinos, most crypto casinos are transparent, in that key metrics are publicly available on the blockchain and can be analysed with analytics tools such as Chainalysis. This makes it possible to get detailed statistics directly from the various operators, which taken together can provide a very accurate view of the crypto casino market.

In our monthly crypto casino market we use this data to show the top 10 crypto casinos, and how they have performed in terms of deposits and new player signups, as well as discuss the most popular coins used by crypto gamblers.

A caveat before we dive into the data – some casinos, such as bc.game, switch their wallet addresses frequently which makes it difficult if not impossible to get accurate on-chain analytics. As such, some casinos may be missing from the analysis below.

Top 5 Crypto Casinos for January 2025

Based on our analysis, there is little surprise for the top spots, but a lot of new brands are driving competition in the top 5.

1. Stake.com

Stake is still the dominant force in the industry and tops all the charts in January , with a 43.14% market share and $1.2 billion in player deposits from 841,800 depositors. Player retention is a major strength, but the casino also added 69,200 new depositors in January alone. 

Co-founder Ed Craven has already announced a series of ambitious targets for 2025, and Brazil is a major part of this year’s plan.. The company has secured a Brazilian gaming license and added Brazilian motor racing legend Emerson Fittipaldi to its team of influencers that includes Drake and UFA star Israel Adesanya. . A series of big-name slot launches has also strengthened the casino’s position. 

2. YOLO Group

Second place YOLO Group has an 18.44% market share with $505.1 million in deposits from 15,600 depositors. The company acquired just 1,600 new depositors in January, though, which shows how massive a lead Stake.com has over even its closest competitor.

YOLO Group has had a busy month with several acquisitions in related industries. The company, which includes brands like Hub88, Live88, OneTouch, and Odds88, has also added a new Chief Financial Officer, Jean Claude Magri, who brings a wealth of experience from Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, and Red Tiger. 

2. Roobet

With an 11.9% market share, with 112,400 gamblers contributing to $323.7 million in total deposits, it was a solid month for third-placed Roobet. 

A new sponsorship deal with Chelsea Football Club should boost the sportsbook, and the casino has just concluded a 120-day marketing campaign featuring blockchain ads that were targeted at Web3 users. That brought in 1,400 new paying customers, which helped Roobet add 17,600 new depositors in January, which should help close the gap to YOLO Group.

3. Shuffle

Web3 casino Shuffle now has a 6.57% market share with $178.8 million in deposits from 158,400 gamblers is a solid performance. Player acquisition is also strong, with 8,600 new depositors in January alone.  

Shuffle’s commitment to provably fair gaming continued with the addition of Waifu Tower to its Originals collection that now includes provably fair dice, blackjack, roulette, limbo and hilo. 

4. BC.Game

With 20,100 new depositors, second only to Stake, BC.Game has started to rebuild after several months on the downward slide. After its parent company was declared bankrupt in Curacao in November and BC.Game closed its UK operations, it now has a new gaming license in Anjouan and a chance to rebuild. 

It currently sits fifth in the standings with a 6.36% market share and $173 million in deposits in January from 159, 700 customers. This could be the low point and we expect to see a recovery.  

5. Rollbit 

With $115.8 million in player deposits in January,, from 157,400 gamblers, Rollbit has solid figures, but Rollbit added just 1,900 new customers in January mainly driven by stricter KYC & AML requirements.

The company published a new Anti Money Laundering (AML) policy on January 10 that will affect gamblers in territories like the US. It also struck a new shirt sponsorship deal with Southampton Football Club, which could have a positive impact on the sports betting side. 

The Biggest Coins in Crypto Casinos

When it comes to the tokens used in crypto gambling, Tether (USDT) is still the dominant force, but it has lost a little of its market share this month. In January, USDT Tether made up 54.76% of the crypto betting market, with $1.5 billion in deposits and an average deposit of $2,600.

The big mover this month, though, is Tron TRX, which is starting to emerge as a real threat. Continued adoption of the blockchain has seen Tron surpass Ethereum in the revenue stakes at the tail end of 2024, and the fast processing time and low fees have attracted a number of online casinos that have added Tron to their payment protocols. 

New Crypto Casinos in January 2025

It’s becoming quite clear that crypto casinos are huge in comparison to fiat online casinos, and the financial performance of these behemoths attracts a host of new entrants to the market! We fully expect 2025 to the year of the crypto casino boom, and January has already started with a slew of new launches:

Jackpot Raider: With more than 6000 games, a sportsbook, and a whole host of crypto payment options, Jackpot Raider looks set to make a serious splash. This offshore casino with a Curacao license comes with impressive bonuses and games from more than 100 providers. 

Candy Spinz Casino: Again you get more than 6000 games and a sportsbook in this casino that was launched right at the tail end of last year. It has thousands of slots, table games, live dealer games, sportsbook and more from the likes of NetEnt, Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming. 

Legal Issues

There are always a few headlines around legal issues in the fast moving regulatory frameworks around crypto gambling, some of the major ones that caught our attention include:

Crypto.com is getting ready to do battle with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over a series of new sports event trading products in the United States. The crypto exchange presented a way to trade predictions on sports events and made them available to all US citizens. 

Now, the CFTC has accused Crypto.com of illegal gambling. Crypto.com has declined to remove the products, and now the CFTC is heading to the next stage: voting on a proposal to subject these contracts to a 90-day review to assess their legality.

In Europe, the new Markets in Crypto Assets (MICA) legislation has led a number of exchanges to delist USDT Tether and a number of other stablecoins. As Tether has become a cornerstone of the gambling market, this could have an effect on the gambling industry..

In China, the government continues to clamp down on crypto and online gambling in all its forms. This month, the courts rules that BKEX’s crypto contract trading system violates illegal gambling laws. Company employees have been jailed for facilitating unauthorized crypto betting and the platform, which essentially lets users place high-leverage bets on the crypto market, has been found in violation of China’s strict gambling laws. 

Crypto Casino Token News

With some casinos supporting their own native crypto token, it’s interesting to see how these coins are doing against the wider macro crypto markets.

Stake’s token (STAKE) spiked more than 58.7% in two days, from $0.092 to $0.146. The token has headed slowly back to Earth since then and STAKE finished the month at $0.089. 

It has been a solid month for the Shuffle Token (SHFL), which has risen in value by approximately 8.5% in the last month to $0.24.

Rollbit Coin (RLB) saw significant volatility this month, but the final price of $0.0824 is really a slight increase on its valuation of $0.0792 on December 31. The price went as high as $0.1237 on January 2, and a low of $0.0732 on January 28. 

BC.Game’s BC Dollar ($BCD) is feeling the effects of the company’s recent issues,, and on January 19 it hit an all time low of $0.005808. With the new gambling license and player acquisition strategy, this could turn around in the month ahead.
