Bitcoin Roulette Guide 2022 to the best Bitcoin roulette sites

The best Bitcoin roulette sites must have these 8 qualities:

1. They must be safe,
2. Must be reliable,
3. Must accept Bitcoin,
4. Must offer a variety of roulette games,
5. Must have live roulette,
6. Must have free roulette,
7. Must offer roulette games from many different providers,

Here are the best Bitcoin roulette sites of 2022 which check all of the above boxes. Each casino’s best bonus is written next to it, and if any of them require a bonus code you can find that as well.

Want to see the best Bitcoin casinos instead? Take a look at our guide to the top crypto casinos.

Every player has his or her own preferences when it comes to online roulette games. Similarly, every casino has its own strengths and features which can either suit a player or not. This is the reason why I try to provide as much information as I can in the listings alone – to help you decide – and I give you even more information in each individual review.

When searching for Bitcoin roulette games, I believe it all comes down to 4 different types of preferences:

1. You prefer to play at a casino that has a large and diverse Bitcoin roulette selection, so that you can play many different games before settling for a specific one.
2. You want to play with a good bonus which you can use on Bitcoin roulette games, of course.
3. You know exactly what you want and are looking for a specific roulette game that you played before; you just want the best offer for that game.
4. You prefer to play Bitcoin roulette games from a certain software provider because you trust them more or simply like the game better.

All crypto gambling sites that I list are licensed, safe, reliable, and tested by yours truly. ????

If you are hoping to find a Bitcoin roulette selection as large and diverse as possible, check out the Best Bitcoin roulette sites list above. There, casinos are sorted by the number of all Bitcoin roulette games they offer. You can be sure that casinos which offer the biggest number of games offer good diversity as well. If you wish to try games for free first, I listed the best free Bitcoin roulette sites below.

If a good bonus is what draws your attention, then go through the bonuses in the top Bitcoin roulette bonus section below. You will be able to find bonuses of 1 BTC, 1.5 BTC and even 5 BTC! Before you use any bonus, make sure that table games are included in the wagering contribution if you are planning to use the bonus on roulette games. Wagering contribution can be found in the casino’s bonus terms and conditions. Oh – and try finding one with low wagering requirment!

If you have a specific game in mind, then head on over to our roulette types section to find sites which offer the best European, American or French roulette games. You can also see other roulette types and adaptations and find games like Lightning roulette, Bonus roulette, Golden Chip roulette and more!

If your preference is a game provider, you will find all game providers that a casino works with listed on each casino’s review page.

Some people add another con to Bitcoin, stating that it is not as user-friendly as other payment methods, but in my experience it is no more complicated than having to deal with an online bank. I suppose that you have no problems with this particular notion either since you are here, reading this guide.

Live roulette games come in two different variants: with or without a dealer (croupier).

Games with a dealer are the classic option. The dealer runs the game, tells you when it’s time to place bets, when the time is up, he or she spins the roulette wheel, throws in the ball and tells you on which slot the ball landed. Of course, you also view the live feed of the roulette wheel.

Live games without the dealer are called automatic or auto roulette. The only difference here is that the roulette wheel is spun automatically and all timings and results are declared by a computer.

However, neither variant shows you the live feed of the game board where the bets are placed, so you cannot see the bets from other players unless you ask them directly.

As I already mentioned, table games do not always count towards the wagering contribution, or they do not count fully count. The same holds true for live games.

From all of the bonuses available for roulette games, here are top 4 Bitcoin live roulette bonuses where live games contribute most:

So should you choose live Bitcoin roulette?

If you are someone who prefers brick and mortar casinos and enjoys a personal approach to playing but appreciates the advantages of doing both online, then you will definitely find live Bitcoin roulette entertaining.

Similarly, if you like to have contact with other players, discuss their game and yours, then I advise you to go for it too.

As far as the game itself is concerned, there is no difference between a live and a non-live roulette game. Your odds are the same, the rules are the same, only the ‘feel’ of the game is different due to a live game being run by an experienced casino dealer.

Split, low, snake, orphan bet.

If these roulette bets are unknown to you, then free Bitcoin roulette should be your first option.

But don’t worry – I also explain all game variants, possible bets and outcomes in Bitcoin roulette types and Roulette betting odds, payouts and options.

Free roulette games are only demo versions of actual, real money games. The game experience is exactly the same, except you do not wager your money and you also cannot win anything; but it is an excellent way to get to know the game and the special bets and odds.

Keep in mind that while you can view some live roulette games in demo mode, you cannot play them for free. Free play is only available for non-live games.

Not all casinos offer free or demo mode of their games, so here are the top 5 casinos which do offer most games for free. I even listed the number of free games by roulette type, if you have a preference.

The roulette wheel has 36 numbers and a zero (0). For each turn the roulette wheel is spun one way and the ball the other way. The aim of the game is to guess in which ball pocket the ball will land once the wheel stops spinning.

Ball pockets on the wheel alternate between red and black – except for zero, which is green.

You bet by placing chips onto the board which has numbers from 0 to 36. Each number has a colored field that corresponds to the color of that number on the roulette wheel. With a single chip you can bet on a single number, on two, three, four, five or six numbers, or on a special category of numbers.

Placing a chip on 2 numbers is called a split bet (see the chip on 7 and 10 in the image above).

Betting one chip on 3 numbers is possible for 0, 1, 2 and 0, 2, 3. You can do this by placing the chip on the adjacent corners of the numbers or on any 3 numbers in the same row (this is also called a street bet – see the chip on the outer edge of number 24).

To bet on 4 numbers, place a chip on all four adjacent corners as shown in the image above (also called a corner bet). Placing a chip on the line between 0 and other numbers on the outer edge of the board allows you to bet on 0, 1, 2 and 3 at the same time (this is also called a top line bet – see the chip on the corner of number 1). American version of roulette allows you to make the same kind of bet on 5 numbers because there are 2 zeros, but more on that later.

To bet on 6 numbers, a chip can be placed on the outer two adjacent corners of two numbers (also called a six line bet – see the chip on numbers 30 and 33).

Roulette comes in 3 different types: European, American and French. You can find hundreds of other roulette variants that originate from these three or a mixture of these three types, but I cover those later in other roulette types and adaptations.

European, American and French roulette vary in board and wheel appearance, and consequently also in odds and in the way the game is played.

The most common type is European roulette. If the name or the thumbnail image of a casino’s roulette game do not specifically state the type, you can be 90 % sure that the game in question is European roulette.

French roulette has 2 additional rules called ‘La Partage’ (the divide) and ‘En Prison’ (in prison). They both apply only to even money bets. In the first case you get half of your money back if the wheel spins zero. In the second case your bet gets ‘frozen’ in case of a zero, and you get all your money back if you win the next spin with the frozen bet. Both cases cut the house edge in half, to 1.35 %.

I explain what these additional rules do to your odds 3 chapters down in roulette betting odds, payouts and options.

The roulette racetrack is an additional part of the betting board which can be found in French and sometimes in European roulette.

Roulette racetrack from a game by WorldMatch from 24K Casino
It is shaped as a loop, resembling a racetrack, hence the name. The numbers are the same as on the roulette wheel. The center of the loop has 4 (in some cases 5) fields representing all possible fixed call bets on the racetrack. 2 additional variable call bets do not have their own field because the numbers included depend on your choice.

Melbet offers the most choice for European and American roulette, while 24K Casino has the most French roulette games. If you wish to pick another casino, feel free to browse the main listing at the top of the page. Generally, if a casino is ranked high, it means it has a good offer when it comes to crypto roulette.

As I noted before, you can find hundreds of derivatives from European, American or French roulette or a mixture of them, and I list some of the most popular ones here.

In case you run into one of them at your casino, you will know how to play it and what its features are.

In the table below I gathered all possible bets on all possible roulette types, along with odds and payouts.

Before you dive in, let me just explain how I write the numbers:

• probabilities or odds: 1:35 is the same as 34 to 1 or 1/35 ≈ 0.0286 ≈ 2.9 %, the numbers in the table represent the probability of winning
• payouts: 35:1 will give you 35 times your bet plus your original bet back (example: if you bet $1, you win $35 and end up with $36)

I show you how you can calculate your own probabilities and outcomes at the end if this is something that you struggle with.

‘La Partage’ and ‘En Prison’ rules of the French roulette are the only two outcomes that were not represented in the table above. You will see why in a minute.

I am going to use the ‘En Prison’ rule as an example to show you how you can calculate your own winning and losing odds. The calculation procedure is basically always the same, so you can apply it to other kinds of bets.

First, let’s do an overview of some basics. Before you start crunching numbers, figure out how many possible results there are for each turn or each bet that you make. Since there are 37 slots on the roulette wheel and the ball can only land inside one slot after each spin, you have 37 different possible outcomes.

Now to calculate probability, you only need one more number. Let’s say you that want to know the probability of winning if you bet on number 6. This means that you win if the ball lands on 1 number (6), and you lose if it lands on any of the other 36 numbers.

To get the probability of wining, just put both numbers together: one number to win/37 possible outcomes = 1/37 ≈ 0.027 = 2.7 %. If you look at the table above again, this is the probability of winning a straight-up bet in European or French roulette.

As you can see, the probability of winning is simply the number of ball slots that you bet on, divided by the number of all possible slots that the ball can land on. On the contrary, if you want to know the probability of losing, you divide the number of ball slots that you did not bet on by the number of all possible slots that the ball can land on.

In our case, if the ball lands on any other of the 36 numbers besides the one that you bet on, you lose: 36/37 ≈ 0.9729 = 97.3 %.

If you put both, the probability of winning and the probability of losing, together, you should get 100 % since there is no other possible outcome. You either win or you lose, there is no draw.

2.7 % + 97.3 % = 100 %

Ok, now let’s refresh what ‘En Prison’ does: if the ball lands on 0 during your even money bet, your bet stays untouched. If you win the next spin with this same bet you win nothing, but you get your money back.

This description might be a bit confusing when you want to translate it to probability calculation, so let’s simplify it.

Let’s say that you bet on black (it does not matter which even money bet you make; the probability is the same every time). If the ball lands on a black number you win, if it lands on red you lose, and if it lands on 0 you get the chance to keep your money (you neither win nor lose). You only win if the ball lands on black the first time.

There are 18 black numbers and 37 different numbers in total, so the probability of winning with the ‘En Prison’ rule is: 18/37 ≈ 0.486 = 48.6 %

The probability to win is the same as betting on black without the ‘En Prison’ rule.

 

What is the point of this rule then?!

I’m glad you asked! For this rule to make sense, you need to look at what happens if you lose. With or without the rule, you always lose if the ball lands on a red number. It’s the zero that makes a difference. Without the rule, if the ball lands on zero, you lose. But with the rule in play, if the ball lands on zero, you do not necessarily lose!

Let’s calculate the probability of losing your bet. As I said before, you lose if the ball lands on red. That means 18 numbers divided by all 37 numbers = 18/37 ≈ 0.486 = 48.6 %. Now let’s look at the zero.

The probability of the ball landing on 0 is the same as for any other single number (we calculated this in the beginning): 1/37 ≈ 0.027 = 2.7 %. So the ball hit 0 and now, in order for you to lose it must hit a red number again. We already have this: 18/37 ≈ 0.486 = 48.6 %. The probability of you losing if the ball lands on 0 and then on red is 2.7 % × 48.6 % ≈ 0.013 = 1.3 %.

The only thing left to do now is to put all these pessimistic probabilities together: The ball lands on red, or the ball lands on zero and then on red = 48.6 % + 1.3 % = 49.9 %.

Let’s compare this result with the result without the ‘En Prison’ rule in play: 18 red numbers + zero divided by all numbers = (18+1)/37 = 19/37 ≈ 0.513 = 51.3 %. This means that you have more chances of losing without the ‘En Prison’ rule in play.

This is where this rule makes a difference. It does not help you win – but it does help you not lose.

In case you noticed, if you sum up your winning and losing probabilities, you get 48.6 % + 49.9 % = 98.5 % and not 100 %. This is because the ‘En Prison’ rule has the option where neither you nor the casino wins – the probability of this is about 1.5 %.

The payout with the ‘En Prison’ rule does not change because the payout only matters when you win, and your winning odds are the same with or without the rule: 1:1.

‘La Partage’ is also a rule that applies to even money bets even money bet. If the ball lands on zero, you get half of your money back. One thing to remember here is that whether you get your money back or not does not have anything to do with your probability to win.

If you bet on black again, you can only win if the ball lands on black, which is 18 out of 37 numbers = 18/37 ≈ 0.486 = 48.6 %.

If the ball lands on red you lose, and if it lands on zero you lose as well (just not as much). Your probability of losing is 18 red numbers + zero, divided by all 37 numbers = (18+1)/37 = 19/37 ≈ 0.513 = 51.3 %.

In terms of probability, the ‘La Partage’ rule does not help you at all compared to ‘En Prison’. But in terms of your money, it helps you just the same.

You can see that the only difference between these rules is what happens in the case of the ball landing on zero. But if you average out both possible outcomes of zero, you end up with $5 in the case where either of these rules applies.

This strategy relies on even money bets. It doubles your bet each time you lose and resets your bet back to the initial bet once you win.

The idea is to cover all losses by doubling your bet every time you lose, and to minimize risk by resetting your bet to initial bet once you win.

In theory, this can work if you have a loaded, bottomless wallet – otherwise, you are going to lose all your money very quickly. The problem is that no matter what you do, your odds of winning each round are still under 50 %, which makes you lose in the long run.

Don’t get me wrong, you can get lucky and succeed with this strategy, but that will be because of your luck – not because of the strategy. ????

Like the Martingale strategy, the D’Alembert strategy relies on even money bets and increases your bet when you lose and decreases it when you win.

But unlike the Martingale, it does not double your bets or cut them down to the initial bet value; it simply increases or decreases the bet for 1 unit.

For example: The value of your initial bet is, say $3, and the value of the increase/decrease is $1. This means that if you lose 2 times in a row after the initial bet, you go from $3 to $4 to $5 bet. If you win, you go from $5 to $4, and so on.

The idea of the D’Alembert strategy is basically the same as the Martingale, except it does not escalate your bets so drastically. The D’Alembert strategy would suit you much better if you are someone who does not have millions at your disposal, but in the end this strategy also crashes head first into the same wall as the Martingale. Both of these theories would work wonderfully if your even money bets had 50% chance or more. But the casino always has the edge, so in the long run you would lose with the D’Alembert strategy as well, just slowly – unless you are very lucky again.

The Fibonacci strategy again works in a similar way the Martingale and D’Alembert strategies do, using even money bets to increase or decrease your bet when you lose or win.

The Fibonacci strategy uses the Fibonacci sequence where each number is the sum of the previous two: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 …

You start at the beginning of the sequence with $1 as your bet. When you lose, you move one up the sequence. If you win, you move 2 back down.

It works just like the D’Alembert, strategy except that your bet values, increases or decreases are pre-defined by the sequence, while with the D’Alembert strategy you are free to choose the values yourself.

These were three examples of some of the most popular progressive roulette strategies. Along the way I sort of already answered why I do not use them. Although they can be really fun to implement, they are just a way of playing and in no way do they increase your odds. Casino’s house edge is sadly something that will always be on the casino’s side. All you can do is hope that luck stays on your side.

However, I must add that if you are not sure how to bet at roulette, it is still much better to use one of these strategies than to just go around placing your chips randomly where they may fall.

This is a common roulette question that has been going around for as long as roulette has existed (which is about 300 years, I think).

Let’s take the red/black bet as an example again. The idea is that if a black number was played a certain amount of times in a row, then a red number must be due. This is an interesting way in which our mind plays a trick on us.

What you must know is that every time the roulette wheel is spun, the ball always has an equal chance of falling on any of the 37 numbers. So if the first number is black, the next number has the exact same chance of being black. Or red, for that matter.

Unfortunately, there are no hot or cold numbers. Every spin is independent of the previous one.

Once you sit down at a roulette table, there is no strategy that can improve your odds. If you want your odds to be the best, the only thing you can do is choose the right roulette table before you start playing.

Remember, European and French roulette have a better house edge than American roulette, and 2 additional rules can help you with playing even money bets at French roulette.

My advice is to stick to French roulette for even money bets or stick to either European or French roulette for all other kinds of bets. Alternatively, you can choose a roulette game derived from one of the two if you want to spice up your game a bit.

There you have it: my list of top 26 Bitcoin roulette sites and all possible sub-lists that you might need along the way.

If you find an interesting roulette game that I did not mention and you think it deserves to be in this hall of fame, let me know!

Until then …
May the odds be ever in your favor!
