Bitcoin Video Casino Releases Open Source Android App

Have you heard of the Android app created by Bitcoin Video Casino? In case you are one of the wonderful people who know what I’m talking about, their application is now open-source, meaning you can inspect the code to make sure there are no hidden tricks or disadvantages. The code is distributed under the GNU General Public License, and can be found here.

To date, this is the only open-sourced Android application involving Bitcoin casino games, which gives them a leg up compared to the competition. But there are more goodies in the bag, if you are a developer, you can redistribute the Bitcoin Video Casino app, and earn a 25% referral bonus on every game played while using your app. Players also have the ability to add features and fixes, making it an app “for the Bitcoin community, by the Bitcoin community”.

The native version of the Android app is a bit limited in functionality: only four casino games are currently supported. This is countered with instant deposits and withdrawals, and direct integration with your mobile Bitcoin wallet. You can scan a QR code to import your web-based Bitcoin Video Casino account. This way, your online account can also be used in the Android application.

The Bitcoin Video Casino website has seen a huge growth since its initial launch in December 2012. Over 11 million games have been played so far, and thanks to their “no registration needed policy, the customer base keeps growing. Also worth noting is that the whole website is provably fair, meaning there is no possible way for the casino to cheat the outcome of the result.

By making their Android application open-source, Bitcoin Video Casino is one of the trendsetters when it comes to Bitcoin gaming. It will be hard to find a company that’s more committed to both Bitcoin and their users.
