Choctaw Casino & Resorts Partners with Bitline to Enable Cryptocurrency Payments

Choctaw Casino & Resorts has carved a niche in the history books by collaborating with Bitline to offer an unprecedented opportunity for its patrons: the ability to fund their gaming accounts using cryptocurrencies right on the casino floor.
Acceptance of Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets at Choctaw Casino & Resorts
This partnership represents Bitline’s inaugural major collaboration in the United States, setting the stage for a revolutionary consumer experience that transforms the traditional approach to physical gaming floors. This collaboration is expected to be a trailblazer, opening doors to similar ventures in the future.
The strategic alliance now enables patrons to utilize cryptocurrencies and digital assets as a liquidity source, a point highlighted by the company in a press release. Bitline is capitalizing on Everi’s CashClub payment infrastructure to facilitate a seamless and efficient process, empowering consumers to fund their casino adventures using popular digital currencies.
This marks the debut of such functionality in the brick-and-mortar US casino market, with Choctaw Casinos & Resorts poised to reap the benefits of cutting-edge innovation. Cryptocurrencies and digital assets have surged in popularity over recent years, with the United States even incorporating several such assets into its strategic reserves.
Richard Jones, the CEO of the company, expressed his enthusiasm about bringing this partnership to fruition and utilizing the Bitline product in collaboration with both Choctaw Casino & Resorts and Everi. This marks a significant milestone for both the casino and blockchain industries.
‘We’re entering an era where digital assets can fundamentally enhance the gaming experience, providing casino operators with a future-ready financial framework that can expand and evolve as the industry does. This collaboration is just the beginning of our vision to modernize casino payment capabilities on a global scale,’ he explained.
Everi’s Victor Newsom, the Senior Vice President of Product Management and Payments Solutions, shared a similarly positive outlook regarding the partnership, emphasizing its significance and long-term potential.
Wave of Payment Innovation Thanks to Everi and Operators
‘Choctaw’s patrons are no longer limited to the access, times, amount, and speed constraints of legacy finance,’ he stated, expressing excitement as the company adopted this pioneering technology.
Notably, Choctaw Casinos & Resorts has eagerly embraced the opportunity to expand the payment options available to its patrons. This move leverages an already well-established relationship with Everi, a company the casino regards as a leader in fintech solutions.
Everi has been a staunch advocate for innovation in land-based casinos, championing cashless options and supporting such groundbreaking projects.
