Counted coins at 24 crypto cashiers: 2 skip Bitcoin, USDT beats USDC 2:1

Small piece of research from our desk, sharing because the numbers surprised us and I think they matter for anyone writing "accepts crypto" on a review page.

In August we went through the cashier (or the published banking terms) of the 26 operators we have cards for, mostly US-facing casinos, sportsbooks and poker rooms, and could verify the accepted-coin list on 24 of them. Two wouldn't serve anything readable from outside their markets, so they're out rather than guessed at. A coin on several networks (USDT on ERC-20 and TRC-20) counts once.

What came out:

- Bitcoin: 22 of 24. Not universal. Two cashiers (a poker-first group, casino + poker room on the same platform) list 16 coins, Solana, Cardano, even ApeCoin, and BTC is not one of them. We rechecked because we didn't believe our own card.
- Litecoin: 21 of 24. One short of Bitcoin. Nobody writes about LTC, players keep using it because it settles fast and cheap.
- ETH and BCH: 19 each.
- USDT 17 vs USDC 8. The stablecoin gap is wider at the deposit screen than on-chain.
- XRP 13, DOGE 11, BNB 11, SOL 9, ADA 9.
- Median cashier takes 5 coins. Extremes: 150+ at one brand, exactly one (BTC only) at three RTG casinos run by the same program.

Two things I took from it as an affiliate:

1. "Accepts Bitcoin" on a review is now a claim you have to check, not a default. Our old Drupal pages had it on every card and at least two were wrong.
2. Coin count is a terrible ranking signal. The 150-coin cashier tells you which wallet provider they license, not how they pay out. A BTC-only cashier with same-day payouts is the better recommendation and the harder one to justify in a "coins accepted" table.

Curious whether anyone tracking non-US brands sees the same USDT/USDC split. My guess is it's even more lopsided in LatAm and Asia because of Tron liquidity, but I only have US-facing data.

Happy to share the per-operator table if useful.

Nothing new.

Before you put in a review that a casino has RTG or Mirogaming games, you should make sure which games they have and not take it for granted and just add the developer's brand. Same goes for any payment method, whether a casino has live games or not, etc. etc. Not all casinos have multiple currencies, and even if they accepts other currencies, many times the game will only report in dollars, or fewer currencies than they accept.

Horse racing is another good example. To think all bookies have horse racing, check closely. Some books will state horse racing, but carry only virtual horses and not allow betting on the real ponies at the tracks.

Check everything you plan on adding to reviews, to at least be accurate at the time the review is created.

Different payment options generally show for different countries. also many of the operators just build a front page and dont update same goes for the backewnd until you get taken to a 3rd party payment processor and different options are available.
