Gambling on the Super Bowl, Here’s How to Do it Legally

The broader gambling world is agog with the Super Bowl match slated for tonight. 

Specifically, cryptocurrency enthusiasts are having a busy time ahead of the much-anticipated clash between National Football League (NFL) champions of the American Football Conference (AFC), the Kansas City Chiefs, and their counterparts from the National Football Conference (NFC), the San Francisco 49ers, at this year’s Super Bowl 58.

Even though leading cryptocurrency exchanges have chosen not to show advertisements during this year’s event, crypto enthusiasts are poised to bet on the upcoming NFL championship game, in which the 49ers are the clear favorites.

With more people in the U.S. expected to join the gambling trend on this year’s Super Bowl, including novice bettors attracted to the game by the presence of pop star Taylor Swift and her partner player Travis Kelce, it is important to understand how sports gambling works legally.

To avoid losing your valued Bitcoin (BTC) or any capital intended for gambling on the Super Bowl, there are some tips to guide would-be stakers on Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

Responsible Gambling Moves

Gambling with Bitcoin is safe and also a way to experience the adrenaline excitement that comes with the Super Bowl. 

Betting with Bitcoin works the same way as gambling with more traditional payment methods. In this case, deposits will be made with Bitcoin, and withdrawing any winnings will be Bitcoin in return.

However, it is important to gamble responsibly. A priority concern is to be cautious of the betting sites as one of the greatest risks in Bitcoin betting is data theft and hackers. Crypto gamblers must be extra vigilant by pitching tents only with approved betting sites like Polymarket.

To stay safe, they also need to ensure their passwords are secure and ensure the sites have proven records of great participation and payouts.

The urge to engage in some gambling with non-fungible tokens or Bitcoins will be high for watchers of the game given the game venue is at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with Vegas having a lot of legal gambling offerings.

It is essential to stick to legal sportsbooks approved and regulated by government authorities in the U.S. This includes betting in person at a casino or racetrack or setting up an account with online bookmakers.

Gambling Safely

Remember that sports betting should be a form of entertainment, so only gamble with the Bitcoin or fiat currency that you can afford to lose. 

Do not go after the crowd, influencers, or celebrities to place bets. Renowned popstar Drake has stirred up the Super Bowl scene by placing a staggering Bitcoin bet on one of the competing teams. Gamblers might want to stake their cryptocurrency with the music star given that he made $512k profit in Bitcoin in last year’s games.

However, do not let that influence you. Rather, set a budget in advance and stick to it. Treat gambling on the Super Bowl as entertainment and avoid chasing losses by making additional bets based on what celebrities are doing or the pattern of luck that accompanies their bets.
