Crypto-casino LTV runs ~1.5-2x fiat — don't price the deal the same

The advice: a crypto casino is just a casino, negotiate the same terms. The deposit rails change the player economics enough to break that assumption.

The contrast, ~10 operators running both rails, 6-month data:
— Crypto players skew higher-deposit and higher-velocity: median deposit ~2-3x fiat, fewer payment-friction drop-offs.
— LTV ran ~$700-$1,100 vs ~$450-$600 fiat on matched casino content.
— But: higher variance (whale-heavy), worse retention tail, and elevated bonus-abuse from anonymous wallets.

The correction: crypto deserves a different deal shape, not a copy-paste. The fat per-head value argues for RevShare or hybrid, not flat CPA — flat CPA leaves the velocity upside on the table. But demand no-negative-carryover, because the whale-heavy distribution makes a single big winner more likely to push monthly NGR red.

▸ Watch the chargeback line too — crypto removes card chargebacks but adds wallet-fraud screening that can shave qualifications.

Benchmark of the day: crypto-casino LTV ~1.5-2x fiat at ~2x variance; take RevShare/hybrid with a monthly reset, not flat CPA.
