All the Ways Players Pay – Crypto Edition
Crypto ownership is surging again in the U.S. and globally. Will this year see digital assets become an increasingly popular payment method for American online sports bettors and the wider iGaming industry?
Download Paysafe’s All the Ways Players Pay research report to discover players’ appetite for crypto transactions with sportsbooks and how the future of iGaming payments could play – as well as pay – out.
How crypto will be crucial for converting and retaining US players plus meeting their evolving transactional expectations
Today ~30% of American adults own one or more cryptocurrency. While only a few U.S. states’ gaming regulators permit online sportsbooks to offer crypto as a funding method, players’ appetite for new payment methods has always been strong.
To develop our first dedicated research report on crypto in the iGaming space, in March 2026 we surveyed 2,550 active and prospective online sports bettors across 9 states. These included markets like Colorado and Wyoming that permit crypto deposits, states such as Illinois and Viriginia, whose gaming regulation has latitude to permit crypto funding, and 5 other major markets (Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania).
