BCH Basketball Betting

The basketball calendar never takes a break. The NBA runs from October to June, the EuroLeague from October to May, the Australian NBL from September to April, and the WNBA from May to September. On some evenings, matches are taking place simultaneously across three or four leagues, and players need a cryptocurrency that allows them to top up their balance quickly and withdraw winnings between matches without incurring commission charges. Bitcoin Cash, with transaction fees ranging from $0.0001 to $0.01 per transfer, solves this problem: transfers cost a fraction of a cent regardless of the amount, and blocks are confirmed quickly, which is important when betting on several matches in a single evening.

Betting lines and markets

For betting on basketball with BCH on Dexsport, the betting lines cover the main competitions: the NBA, the EuroLeague, the EuroCup, the WNBA and the Australian NBL. Within each match, bets are available on the outcome (match winner), the spread (points handicap), the total (over/under on total points) and player statistics – points, rebounds and assists for a specific player.

Live betting opens after the tip-off and is updated in real time throughout the game: you can back a team that is gaining momentum in the second half, or hedge a pre-match bet if the favourite has got off to a poor start. Basketball is a sport where a 15-point deficit in the third quarter is not a death sentence: one strong defensive spell, a few long-range shots in a row – and the situation changes. This makes live betting particularly exciting: the odds on the underdog may be high at precisely the moment when the tide is already turning.

As well as single bets, accumulators are available – several outcomes in a single bet with the odds multiplied together. And apart from betting on individual matches, you can bet on the tournament as a whole: league winner, qualification for the play-offs, top scorer of the season.

Dexsport: how the platform works

Dexsport operates on its own blockchain, and bets are placed via smart contracts – the terms of the bet are fixed at the moment of placement.

To place a bet, you need an account – and you can create one in just a couple of clicks: you can use your email, Google, Telegram or a Web3 wallet. There’s no need to upload any documents, and there’s no identity verification – once you’ve registered, the basketball betting market opens immediately and you can top up your account. The platform supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies (90+ across 28 networks), and BCH is one of them; the choice is up to the player. Winnings are credited to a shared liquidity pool, from which funds are withdrawn to your wallet – payouts are made directly from the pool rather than requiring manual processing, which speeds up the process.

New players receive a welcome package for betting on basketball with BCH – three free bets of up to $100 each. The first is awarded as 15 per cent of the first deposit, the second as 20 per cent of the second, and the third as 25 per cent of the third. Up to $300 in total. The freebet can be used for a combo bet of at least three events with a coefficient of at least 1.30 each. Cashback is available every week in the amount of 5% to 15% of the total loss amount: if the difference between turnover and payouts for the week is negative, cashback is credited in stablecoins for this amount – without any wagering requirements.
