Sportsbet.io claims cryptocurrency cash-out first

Bitcoin-led sportsbook Sportsbet.io has introduced a new cash-out feature in a move it said represents a first for the cryptocurrency betting market.

Punters will now have the option to cash out of bets early in order to guarantee a profit or money back, as well as back out of wagers they have already placed.

Sportsbet.io said the feature has been added in response to customer demand for a service that is already available across many real-money sites.

Joe McCallum, director of sportsbook at Sportsbet.io, said: “We aspire to be one of the leading sportsbooks around and this requires not only the best betting content but also a quality user experience, and introducing cash-out is sure to enhance this.

“Being the first bitcoin-led operator to introduce cash-out not only confirms our position as the premium crypto-sportsbook, but also demonstrates our commitment to our players around the world, many of whom have demanded these kinds of features.”
