Empire.io review: a Bitcoin casino from 2018 with crypto-only withdrawals
2018 Founding year · On our list since 24 Jun 2024 · Established casino
Empire.io has run since 2018 as a crypto casino: its account currency is Bitcoin, and every withdrawal method on file is a coin or stablecoin, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to Tether. It states a Curaçao licence.
The studio list in our data is short, with NetEnt, Nolimit City, Novomatic and a few smaller names. Its welcome offer is stated in Bitcoin.

Short answer
Should you try Empire.io?
Empire.io is for players who already hold crypto and want to keep winnings in it. It has several years of trading, and its withdrawal list is clear. The welcome offer is in Bitcoin, so its value moves with the coin price; work out what the bonus terms mean in your own currency before you claim, and check the licence number on the Curaçao register.

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

Welcome offer
What 1 BTC + 100 Free Spins is worth
At offers of this size the total is usually spread over several deposits. Set the bonus part you would actually receive, then the wagering from the casino's terms: wagering is not in our offer data for this casino yet.
The offer is stated in BTC. What that is worth in money moves with the coin's price, so the examples are worked in USD; the maths is the same in any currency.

You must bet $8,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs $320 on average, so the bonus is worth about -$120.

Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A casino in its first year has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
