Choosing A Bitcoin Wallet

You can't win unless you get in. And when it comes to getting in, more and more casinos are requiring Bitcoin as the deposit and withdrawal method. The key to achieving this is a Bitcoin wallet.

About Bitcoin Wallets

One highly popular Bitcoin wallet is Bitcoin Core, the original Bitcoin wallet. Though somewhat basic without many features of other wallets, Bitcoin Core is still coveted, regularly updated, and remains a very secure choice. It is compatible with all major computer operating systems.

Another valued option is MultiBit, which is lighter than Bitcoin Core. The MultiBit wallet uses only a small amount of hard drive space on your computer or USB drive and can encrypt your private keys on any device it's installed on. MultiBit supports over 30 languages and is available on all major operating systems.

Don't overlook the Electrum Bitcoin wallet. Electrum is similar to MultiBit in its light size and ability to create multiple wallets from one base. It allows users to make offline transactions and securely share recovery information with third-party services. Additionally, Electrum lets you import and export private keys from other Bitcoin wallets.

The Hive wallet is making a strong impact on the Bitcoin scene. It features instant messaging for trading and receiving Bitcoin in moments, plus built-in apps to expand to other Bitcoin services.

Another advanced option is the Armory Bitcoin wallet, with deluxe features across standard, advanced, and developer levels. It includes an on-screen keyboard for extra encryption, multiple data storage options, and offline transaction capabilities. Note that Armory requires Bitcoin Core to function.

Other notable wallets include Blockchain, which specializes in security with double encryption and extra authentication steps. Coinbase offers a user interface similar to PayPal but with full Bitcoin wallet functionality.
