Cloudbet Unveils Betting With Gold in Gaming World First
LONDON, Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

- Crypto gaming pioneer adds Pax Gold coin to its platform
- PAXG is Cloudbet's third stablecoin integration this year

Cloudbet, the pioneering crypto casino and sportsbook, has added Pax Gold to 
its platform, making history by allowing players to bet online with gold 
[http://www.cloudbet.com/en/landing/paxg-betting/?utm_source=prnewswire.com&utm_
medium=pr&utm_campaign=paxg&utm_content=linktext-newswire-pr] for the first 
time ever.

The integration of gold betting on a crypto-gaming platform marks a unique 
milestone in the evolution of tokenisation, whereby a physical asset is made 
divisible, tradable and easier to exchange through smart contracts and 
blockchain technology. Each unit of PAXG is a digital asset backed by one fine 
troy ounce of a gold bar held in custody by the Paxos Trust Company.

"Tokenisation allows individuals to express their spending habits through the 
assets they choose to hold, rather than having to use currencies to which they 
hold no philosophical or economic attachments," a Cloudbet spokesperson said. 
"In this case, we're empowering players that want to own gold with the means to 
place bets with a gold casino or a gold sportsbook."

New players who deposit PAXG with the operator are eligible for a welcome bonus 
worth up to 5 units of the gold coin (almost $10,000 at current prices), as 
well as 100 free spins over two weeks on a gold-themed slot in the Cloudbet 
casino.

PAXG is Cloudbet's third major stablecoin betting integration after launching 
USD Tether and USD Coin earlier this year. Stablecoins protect the value of 
cryptocurrency winnings from the extreme price fluctuations experienced by 
holders of non-stablecoins. 

PAXG's value is tied to the price of gold, while USDT and USDC are fixed 1-to-1 
with the US dollar, so fiat values of winnings in these currencies don't swing 
with cryptocurrency market prices. Traditional fiat currency audiences can 
utilise stablecoins to trial the benefits of betting with crypto: Fast 
transactions, low fees and industry-leading bonuses.

The new coin amplifies what's on offer at Cloudbet for players seeking the best 
odds and highest limits for crypto betting. Founded in 2013, Cloudbet 
[https://www.cloudbet.com/en/auth/sign_upen/?utm_source=bitcoin.com&utm_medium=p
r&utm_campaign=usdc&utm_content=linktext-press-release] is one of the world's 
longest established bitcoin betting operators, with a history of innovation in 
the crypto-gaming space.

The operator relaunched its site in April and has introduced a swathe of bold 
new features including esports, politics betting and easy credit-card coin 
purchases. The site also accepts ethereum and bitcoin cash.
