Getting Started with Cryptocurrency

To use cryptocurrency at online casinos, it's important to understand the difference between "exchanges" and "wallets." Both are essential for managing cryptocurrency, but they serve different purposes.

What is an exchange?

An exchange is a platform for trading cryptocurrencies, allowing you to buy, sell, and swap digital currencies. For example, you can use Japanese yen to buy Bitcoin or exchange Bitcoin for another cryptocurrency.

Key features of exchanges:

  • A marketplace for buying and selling cryptocurrencies

  • Real-time price fluctuations

  • Support for fiat currency transactions (e.g., Japanese yen, US dollars)

Popular exchange examples: Bybit, Binance, Coinbase

What is a wallet?

A wallet is a digital tool for securely storing your cryptocurrency. Instead of holding the currency itself, it safeguards a crucial piece of data called a "private key," which is necessary to access and use your funds.

Key features of wallets:

  • A secure storage solution for your cryptocurrency

  • Ability to send and receive digital currencies

  • Available as online (hot) or offline (cold) options

Popular wallet examples: Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet
