Crypto payments have become more and more popular in online casinos over the years. SoftSwiss has acknowledged that in a major way by integrating the Mercuryo payment system into their online gambling platform.
Crypto Made Easier With the SoftSwiss Casino Platform
Making things as easy as possible for players is always important. As such, when a major software provider makes something important easier on players, we pay attention. That has been the case for the SoftSwiss platform when it comes to playing with cryptocurrencies.
This is because they have added the Mercuryo payment system to their platform.
The main idea here is to make it as easy as possible for players to engage with crypto payments. However, it also has strategic elements on a business level that have to do with the direction of the industry. Adding another layer to the complication of all of this is the currency conversion options.
When you put all of this together, it puts more power in the hands of players. Additionally, it puts players in a position to make their own financial decisions a bit more in the casino context. Having more flexibility in this way can only be a good thing for the users of the SoftSwiss platform.
What is Available Thanks to Mercuryo Integration
The first thing that players will see is the ability to make crypto purchases in an easier way. Essentially, Mercuryo’s primary purpose is to allow players to buy crypto with their payment cards. From there, it’s available to be used for online casino play.
SoftSwiss stands to gain a few things here:
- This setup offers a smooth introduction to crypto for many first-time users.
- Additionally, advanced crypto users can still enjoy how easy it is to purchase crypto in this way for playing online.
- Some other currency-centric options are available as well, which we’ll look at below.
In short, SoftSwiss is giving players a lot more control over their payments with this deal. What’s more is that Mercuryo is getting their interface in front of tons of new players. However, it’s not exactly their first rodeo either, so to speak. They have been around for a while and are right on the cusp of breaking into the higher levels of awareness for players. That’s another reason why this particular deal with SoftSwiss is so important.
Currency Conversion and Other Goodies
One feature SoftSwiss already offered was in-game currency conversions. This allows players to switch between a few main currencies at will. The available currencies included Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, euros and others.
However, the integration of Mercuryo complicates the situation and allows for even more options. At the time of launch, at least nine different fiat currencies were available for crypto conversion. This means that not only can players switch between their own fiat currencies as they see fit. Additionally, they can also move between crypto and those fiat currencies as they wish.
This is a level of flexibility and customization that we don’t see often in the online casino world. What’s more is that we believe this could very much set a trend in the industry as a whole. Competition is the name of the game. As such, we may see other software providers push to offer similar types of services.
Where Things Go From Here
The relationship between Mercuryo and SoftSwiss is obviously good for them to agree on such a substantial deal. However, we think the main beneficiaries of this agreement will be the players and the industry as a whole. For the players, it means having more control over how their funds are handled. This is always something we think is good to be in favor of. Additionally, it means having more competition in the industry. Again, this comes back to what’s good for the players because increased competition usually means different providers pushing harder and harder to offer better and better experiences for the people actually using the software.
