BurraPay Becomes First Cryptocurrency Payment Platform to Operate Within Nevada’s Regulated Gaming Market
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an historic first for the U.S. regulated gaming industry, BurraPay, the leading provider of cryptocurrency payment solutions for the regulated casino gaming industry, announced that it has gone live with its cryptocurrency payment platform at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV, becoming the world’s first crypto payments processor to operate within the state’s regulated gaming market. The Company marked its U.S. debut with popular social media personality Bryce Hall placing wagers using cryptocurrency at The World’s Largest Sportsbook inside Circa Resort & Casino. Located in downtown Las Vegas, Circa Resort & Casino is owned by CEO Derek Stevens.
“Circa has always been bullish on sports betting and cryptocurrency, making this collaboration with BurraPay a natural partnership for us," said Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of Circa Resort & Casino. “We’re honored to have been a part of this first-to-market sports bet, which is paving the way for more history-making collaborations between the gaming and crypto industries both in Las Vegas and beyond.”
BurraPay has engineered its patented crypto payment platform specifically to meet the rigorous compliance standards demanded by U.S. gaming regulators - a barrier that has until now kept cryptocurrency entirely out of Nevada’s licensed casino ecosystem. The company has created two unique solutions; the first is a fully-embedded platform that integrates directly with casino player account management systems in land-based, iGaming, and online sportsbook environments; the second is an over-the-counter solution that has been developed for rapid deployment in land-based casino environments. Both solutions utilize BurraPay’s portfolio of patented technologies covering the secure, AML-compliant use of cryptocurrency - including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin - in casino environments, as well as blockchain monitoring tools capable of detecting problem gambling behaviours in real time.
A Multi-Billion Dollar Market Gap
Nevada has long been the benchmark for regulated gaming in the United States, and BurraPay’s entry represents a pivotal regulatory milestone. Despite the rapid expansion of licensed iGaming across the country, American consumers have remained among the largest users of offshore crypto casinos - operating entirely outside the protections and tax revenues of regulated markets. BurraPay’s Las Vegas launch marks the first time a compliant crypto payments infrastructure has been authorized to change that. The scale of the opportunity is significant:
28% of U.S. adults currently own cryptocurrency
Nearly half (48.6%) of global crypto holders use digital assets for gambling
49% of U.S. online gambling users express interest in wagering with crypto
Approximately 40 million U.S. adults show moderate to strong interest in crypto gambling
“Right now, billions in crypto gambling volume is flowing offshore to unregulated operators,” added Luke Millanta, CTO and Co-Founder of BurraPay. “The U.S. market has the players, the demand, and the regulatory structure - but it hasn’t had the infrastructure to support crypto in a compliant way. That’s the gap we’re filling - and Nevada is where we’re filling it first. Our technology applies real-time blockchain analytics to ensure that every transaction meets the strict financial compliance and responsible gaming standards expected at both a state and federal level.
"We are thrilled to partner with Circa Resorts in being the very first casino in the country to offer compliant crypto-funded wagers. We want to thank Derek Stevens the entire Circa team for their continued trust, enthusiasm and support in bringing crypto payment options to the forefront.”
