Leitfaden zum Kauf von Bitcoin für Online-Glücksspiele

This is a complete step by step guide on how to convert your money to Bitcoin for the purposes of gambling online (although the same steps can be taken if you are interested in sports betting or playing poker as well.) It might take a little bit of time to get used to but once you do, it’ll make playing at an online casino much more hassle free and seamless. So without further ado let’s dive right in!

Warum sollten Sie Bitcoin verwenden?

Einfach ausgedrückt, ist die Verwendung von Bitcoin die die effizienteste und wirksamste Möglichkeit für US-Spieler, in Online-Casinos zu spielen. Wenn Sie bei Geldtransfers nicht die Vorteile von Bitcoin nutzen, verpassen Sie etwas, und hier ist der Grund dafür:

Anonymität und Sicherheit

Für diejenigen unter Ihnen, die sich mit dem zweideutige US-Gesetze, the anonymous nature of bitcoin provides an extra layer of comfort. Unlike regular fiat currency, your personal information is not tied to the transactions you make via Bitcoin so there is no trail that can identify what you purchased. Furthermore, bitcoin is not regulated or produced by any government or financial institution so it is impossible to have your funds seized or frozen.

Keine Transaktionsgebühren

Da Bitcoin-Transaktionen nicht von Banken oder Finanzvermittlern abgewickelt werden, erheben Online-Casinos keine Geldtransfergebühren für Bitcoin-Einzahlungen und -Abhebungen. Durch die Reduzierung der Gebühren und die Möglichkeit, mehr von Ihrem Geld zu behalten, löst Bitcoin einige der größten Probleme, die bei Einzahlungen und Abhebungen von regulären Fiat-Währungen in und aus Offshore-Casinos wie Bovada und BetOnline. While we do think Bovada is the best online casino option for US residents, they charge a whopping 5.9% fee on all subsequent credit card deposits (the first is free)! Even worse, fees increase to 9.9% when making an Amex deposit! When compared to the alternatives, depositing to Bovada using Bitcoin blows the competition out of the water; for example Bovada erhebt absolut keine Gebühren bei Einzahlungen über Bitcoin.

Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten

Another avenue where Bitcoin has a dominant advantage over fiat currencies is with payment processing speeds. If you were to request a withdrawal via check from Bovada (since they don’t do direct bank transfers due to the UIGEA), it could take up to a month to be delivered and even then, there’s still a possibility your bank won’t accept it. If you were to withdraw using bitcoin instead the transaction process is extremely fast and can take up to 15 minutes.

Bitcoin von einer Börse kaufen

Nun, da Sie die Entscheidung getroffen haben, die Vorteile von Kryptowährungen zu nutzen, ist es an der Zeit, Bitcoin von einer Online-Kryptowährungsbörse zu kaufen. Es gibt viele Orte, an denen man Bitcoin mit Fiat-Währung kaufen kann, so dass Ihre Wahl letztendlich von persönlichen Vorlieben abhängt. Ich verwende gerne Zwillinge und gehen mit einem schönen Fix von Einfachheit und Gebührenminimierung, aber ein weiterer einfacher Ort zu beginnen ist Coinbase. Most all cryptocurrency exchanges charge transaction fees, but they are usually miniscule compared to the amount you’ll save when avoiding the money transfer fees of online casinos. Was die Gebühren angeht, so haben Sie mit Gemini deutlich mehr Kaufkraft als mit Coinbase. At face value, the two exchanges appear to have similar rates: Coinbase takes a minimum conversion fee of 1.49% when buying through a U.S. bank account, while Gemini charges a maximum fee of 1.00%. However, Coinbase also charges all U.S. users an additional 4% fee on deposited amounts (reflected in a higher BTC/USD rate), while bank transfers to Gemini are completely free. If you want to go with a quicker, more convenient option, you can pay for Bitcoin using a credit/debit card on Coinbase and avoid having to link a bank account, but you’ll be hit with a 3.99% conversion fee alongside the Coinbase deposit ‘base fee’ of 4%. Additionally, you should be aware that some credit card providers may charge additional fees on cryptocurrency purchases. For visualization purposes, these three options and their fee structures are compared below: Die Benutzeroberflächen von Gemini und Coinbase machen sie zu einer guten Wahl für Kryptowährungs-Neulinge, die einen leichten Einstieg in die Welt des Bitcoin suchen. Seien Sie sich jedoch bewusst, dass der (geringfügig bessere) Komfort von Coinbase mit einem ziemlich hohen Preis verbunden ist. Sobald Sie sich mit dem Prozess vertraut gemacht haben, können Sie jederzeit damit beginnen, andere Optionen zu erkunden und andere Börsen zu nutzen. Das Wichtigste dabei ist, dass Sie Bitcoin zu einem fairen Preis bekommen. Aus diesem Grund werde ich mich auf den Kauf und Verkauf von Bitcoin mit Gemini konzentrieren.

Einzahlung von Geldern in Gemini

To use Gemini, you will need to create an account, verify your identity, and link a bank account. This took me about a week in late 2017, but Gemini may have become more efficient in their verification process. However, once you have everything set up and verified, using Gemini will be much quicker for future transactions. Once you’ve registered and your details have been verified, you will need to deposit funds to your account. [TRANSFER FUNDS > Deposit into Exchange > USD (Bank Transfer)] Sie müssen Ihre Finanzierungsquelle (verbundenes Bankkonto) auswählen und den gewünschten Einzahlungsbetrag in USD eingeben. Klicken Sie dann auf die Schaltfläche "REVIEW DEPOSIT". Es wird eine Aufschlüsselung Ihrer Einzahlungsanfrage angezeigt. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass alle Angaben korrekt sind, und drücken Sie auf "BESTÄTIGEN", um die USD-Einzahlung zu genehmigen. Deposit amounts may be immediately available for trading in Gemini – meaning you are ready to convert USD to BTC. However, funds will typically take 4-5 business days to clear from your bank account to Gemini, and you won’t be able to withdraw BTC to an off-exchange wallet until this occurs. At this point, I recommend waiting for your funds to clear and then proceeding to purchase Bitcoin or setting a low, limit order that has a chance of being met while you’re waiting. If you’d like to risk the volatile price swings of BTC, however, feel free to exchange USD to BTC, and vice-versa, whenever you please, but be aware that there are 1% conversion fees associated with each trade, and the price of Bitcoin could plummet at any moment.

Bitcoin kaufen auf Gemini

Once funds clear from your bank account to Gemini, it’s time to convert your funds to BTC. [BUY > BTCUSD] On the right side of the screen, you will see several variables that determine how your buy order is placed. For the optimal mix of simplicity and value, I recommend placing a ‘Limit’ order, meaning that you will pay no more than the price you enter in the following field. Try choosing a price that is slightly lower than the current going rate, and wait a few minutes for your order to be met. If you’d like to quickly buy at the current market rate, however, you can place a ‘Market’ order, disregard price and quantity, and simply enter the total amount of USD you wish to convert to BTC; the other fields will be automatically filled in. When you’re ready, click ‘BUY’. You will be prompted to confirm your order. Review all the information, and select ‘CONFIRM’ if everything looks good. If you scroll down, you can view your order status. Sobald die Bestellung ausgeführt wurde, haben Sie erfolgreich BTC gekauft, und es ist an der Zeit, Ihre Kryptowährung auf eine außerbörsliche Geldbörse zu übertragen.

Übertragen Ihrer Bitcoins auf eine Wallet

So, you’ve bought Bitcoin, but it’s still not really yours until you get it off the centralized exchange you bought it from. By leaving your cryptocurrency stored on an online exchange like Gemini or Coinbase, you compromise the security of your funds and lack control. With Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, holding the private key associated with your wallet is critical, and exchanges don’t afford that access. But wallets do. It’s much safer to transfer Bitcoin directly into your own cryptocurrency wallet before using it to make a casino deposit. For more information on why you shouldn’t leave your Bitcoin in an exchange, hier klicken. For online gamblers in particular, es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass Ihr Börsenkonto gesperrt wird(especially if you use Coinbase) if they detect you are transferring funds to a casino. You might be thinking “but isn’t Bitcoin anonymous?!”. Well not entirely. If you transfer directly from an identity-linked exchange, like Coinbase or Gemini, they can track whether transactions are going towards an online casino by keeping an eye on the deposit addresses provided. However if you add the extra step of transferring Bitcoin to your own wallet first, then it is much more anonymous, and no one will be able to tell what products or services you are purchasing with your bitcoin.

Beschaffung einer Bitcoin-Wallet

A Bitcoin wallet is essentially a software program that gives you total ownership and control of the Bitcoin you just purchased. Technically it doesn’t store the Bitcoin itself but it stores a private key that is used to identify your ownership of the Bitcoin. There are multiple types of Bitcoin wallets and mainly come in desktop, mobile, web, and hardware-based forms. There are many options but to keep things simple, we recommend using Elektrum die kostenlos, sicher und einfach zu benutzen ist. Wenn Sie irgendwelche Probleme mit der Installation von Electrum haben, können Sie diese Anleitung besuchen hier

BTC von Gemini zu Electrum übertragen

In Ihrer Electrum-Brieftasche gibt es eine Registerkarte "Empfangen", die einen langen Wert im Feld "Empfangsadresse" angibt. Sie werden diesen Wert verwenden, um Bitcoin von Gemini zu senden, also stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie ihn EXAKT kopieren, da Sie sonst am Ende BTC an die falsche Person oder ins Niemandsland senden; Bitcoin-Transaktionen sind unumkehrbar. Now, renavigate to Gemini to withdraw your BTC from the exchange and send it to your Bitcoin wallet. [TRANSFER FUNDS > Withdraw From Exchange > BTC] Geben Sie dann die Adresse, die Sie gerade kopiert haben, in das Feld "ZIELADRESSE" ein, und geben Sie dann den Betrag an BTC ein, den Sie senden/abheben möchten. Wenn Sie fertig sind, klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche "ABHEBUNG PRÜFEN". Überprüfen Sie, ob Ihre Adresse übereinstimmt, und bestätigen Sie dann die Abhebung. After confirming the transaction, you should now see it appear in your Electrum wallet within minutes. It will probably be unconfirmed on the Bitcoin network, however, meaning that you will have to wait for more Bitcoin network confirmations before having access to the funds. This process should only take a few minutes. When everything is cleared, you will be notified of the confirmation and ready to deposit your BTC to an online casino.

Einzahlung in ein Online Casino

This is a very similar process to what you just did in the previous step when transferring funds from the exchange to Electrum. However, this time you’re going to transfer from Electrum to the online casino’s wallet address. First, login to the casino you choose to play at (For the purposes of this tutorial, I am using Bovada, which I recommend for U.S. players). After you are signed into Bovada, click ‘DEPOSIT’ from the upper corner of the site. Select ‘Bitcoin’ as the deposit method, provide your personal information, and then click ‘SAVE AND CONTINUE’ to verify your identity and activate the payment method. Geben Sie den gewünschten Einzahlungsbetrag ein und fahren Sie fort, indem Sie auf die Schaltfläche "EINZAHLUNG" am Ende des Formulars klicken. Überprüfen Sie alle Informationen, bevor Sie die Wallet-Adresse kopieren. Dies ist eine öffentliche Adresse, die Sie verwenden können, um Ihre BTC an Bovada zu senden. Sobald Sie die Adresse kopiert haben, öffnen Sie Ihre Electrum-Brieftasche und navigieren Sie zur Registerkarte "Senden". Paste the provided wallet address into the ‘Pay to’ field. Then, input the appropriate amount of BTC and a description if you’d like. You can also adjust the Bitcoin network transaction fee by moving the slider; transactions with higher fees typically process faster, as these fees are what are used to reward Bitcoin miners for adding transactions to their blocks (and effectively confirming them). You might have to wait a few minutes for enough confirmations to unlock your deposited funds, but funds should be available for use in your Bovada account almost instantaneously. With your casino account now funded via Bitcoin, you are ready to play!

Abhebung Ihrer BTC von einem Online Casino

When it comes time to withdraw your Bitcoin from an online casino, make sure you do it straight back into your Electrum wallet, similar to the way described above. Request a withdrawal from your online casino using ‘Bitcoin’ as the payment method. On Bovada, you will be asked to provide a wallet address, your mother’s maiden name (oddly enough, the only security option available), and a withdrawal amount. If you are unsure of your wallet address, you can open Electrum, and navigate to the ‘Receive’ tab. Your wallet address will be shown in the ‘Receiving address’ field; copy this for later. Back at the online casino, enter all appropriate information, using your Electrum wallet address as the withdrawal destination. Do NICHT zurück auf Ihr Umtauschkonto abheben! As mentioned previously, it’s possible for exchanges to detect withdrawals from casinos, and they can potentially close your account down. As such, you should always be making deposits and withdrawals from your personal Bitcoin wallet. When you’re ready, request the withdrawal. You will see confirmation of your request. At this point, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for Bovada to approve your withdrawal request and actually send BTC to your Electrum wallet address. You should receive a confirmation email when the BTC withdrawal is approved and officially sent by Bovada. When the time comes you should be able to see that the appropriate amount of BTC has arrived in your wallet.

Konvertierung Ihrer BTC zurück in Fiat-Währung

At some stage, you may want to convert your Bitcoin back into fiat currency, which involves using an exchange like Gemini or Coinbase, as we have used so far in this guide. Converting BTC back into fiat currency pretty much follows the reverse process of converting fiat currency into BTC. You can easily do this by transferring BTC from your wallet to an exchange, selling BTC for USD, and then transferring USD to your bank account, but be aware that further fees are charged on each transaction: 1% on Gemini, and 1.49% on Coinbase. If you’re looking to reduce fees, you can try registering for Coinbase Pro (which used to be called GDAX), which is a cryptocurrency exchange that allows you to sell Bitcoin to USD on the market without transaction fees. After you request a USD withdrawal on any exchange, it should take a few days for funds to process and reach your bank account.
