DashTickets is a gambling magazine that was founded by Matthew Robert Davey in 2009 and is operated by Dash Tickets New Zealand Limited.

Over the years, DashTickets has become one of the leading niche websites, helping locals choose the best available casino options and stay informed about the latest industry trends.

According to Statista, around a third of New Zealand’s population uses crypto for some purposes. With the recent rise in popularity of crypto casinos, the team behind the magazine has made a great effort to keep its readers up-to-date with the trends and all important aspects of playing using cryptocurrency.

That includes not just the casino rules but also how cryptocurrencies function in general, which is a complex topic on its own.

“We noticed quite a lot of interest in cryptocurrencies and crypto casinos in the country and felt the need to address it properly. New Zealand is notoriously bad at protecting players from malpractices when it comes to offshore casinos, and crypto adds a whole new layer of risks to it. Our goal is to ensure every player who decides to play this way is fully informed and knows how to do it the right way,” says Mark Dash, editor-in-chief of DashTickets.

There are many reasons for the rise of crypto casinos in multiple countries, including New Zealand. First of all, cryptocurrencies are universal, meaning that any issues with local fiat currencies aren’t affecting them in the slightest.

Secondly, crypto payments are incredibly quick and can easily outperform traditional options, which is especially valuable in New Zealand with its outdated banking systems.

Finally, cryptocurrency can provide a certain level of anonymity, which gamblers all around the world can appreciate.

That said, cryptocurrencies pose multiple risks, especially for inexperienced users. They don’t offer most layers of protection traditional bank transfers provide, which means that players are at risk of being scammed out of their funds before they even get to play any casino games. Not only that, the transactions themselves are incredibly risky, with a single wrong input resulting in the complete loss of funds with no way to recover them.

That is why DashTickets puts great emphasis on educating players about how cryptocurrencies function using their comprehensive guides. The team behind the project believes that even a single article can significantly impact the audience in the current environment, where educational gambling content is fairly rare.

“Most content regarding various aspects of the gambling industry that readers encounter is generally biased. Most of it consists of PR articles and advertisements that only intend to sell casino games and services instead of helping players get a grasp of the most important concepts. That is why DashTickets will always stay on top in these matters — over the years we’ve earned the trust of our audience, and that’s something most sources in the industry can’t compete with,” says Mark Dash.

DashTickets provides a list of trusted casinos that accept cryptocurrencies as payment options. The list is compiled by combining multiple reviews of these casinos, written by the team’s members using a mystery shopper approach to ensure unbiased opinions. The reviewers also deposit and withdraw real money while playing in casinos, all in accordance with DashTickets’ strict review guidelines.

“Our reviews and recommended casinos are the main reason readers visit our website, so we put a lot of effort into ensuring our content covers everything a player needs to know in order to make informed decisions. As a result, we see consistent traffic from locals who want to learn about crypto before diving into this world,” says Edward Howarth, author at Dashtickets.

While DashTickets follows the cryptocurrency trend with great attention, the team behind it also ensures that local players are informed about other important aspects of the industry, including mobile games, legal issues regarding offshore casinos, and responsible gambling practices.

“We aim for DashTickets to be a comprehensive encyclopedia that any local gambler can visit at any time to protect themselves from potential malpractices from casinos, dangerous mistakes when handling crypto, and more. We see the trust put in our content and we want to use it correctly, so expanding our list of topics is one of our priorities at the moment,” says Edward Howarth.
