10/05/18 – Aiming to unite the betting and cryptocurrency world, Buff88 has been recently introduced as the perfect place for crypto betting online. The bookie has all that it takes for a crypto fan to wager with the widest selection of cryptocurrencies available on a betting website – from Bitcoin and Ethereum to Ripple and Monero, and much more.

Mei Li, Marketing Manager at Buff88 has commented: “We are extremely proud to announce the launch of Buff88 and would like to welcome all players that are willing to explore the new wave of betting with us. Buff88 is definitely the perfect answer to the players’ requirements for highest odds, instant payouts, widest eSports live coverage, compelling slot titles, and crypto excitement in one place, both for desktop and hand-held devices.”

A carefully selected team of professionals with extensive industry knowledge and combined crypto and eSports betting experience has been dedicated to manage the first-class sportsbook and offer all sorts of exciting odds for eSports and sports betting to the punters in all licensed jurisdictions worldwide.

What’s even more exciting is that Buff88 has signed a partnership with the super successful ICO – GIFcoin reaching its softcap of 5000 ETH and going to its next huge milestone. The recently created collaboration with one of the highest-rated ICOs boosts both entities in terms of community growth and technology innovations.

We believe that there will be many exciting moments on our path, which we will walk together with Buff88, towards the top of the crypto and gaming world.”, said Krasimir Popov, CEO of GIFcoin.

Moreover, Buff88 is the first betting website to integrate eGold, the eSports dedicated cryptocurrency powered by UltraPlay, the leading eSports betting data and platform provider.

The brand’s name endorses the rich Asian culture with a reference to the bookie’s focal point – eSports. The three symbols behind the name include the Monkey King, also known as Sun Wukong, a god figure featured in many legends across Asia. In more recent times he was reimagined as a character in various games, most notably in DOTA 2 and League of Legends. So naturally, we chose him as the mascot for Buff88 – the emperor of eSports. In eSports “Buff” means positive effect which increases the effectiveness of certain skill or power. And last but not least – the 88 is considered in Chinese speaking regains as lucky, double joy, and a symbol of happiness.

Besides all of the betting options we provide on our site, we wanted to start with a powerful name that brings luck and a lot of excitement to our players.” added Mei Li.

The company operating Buff88 has cooperated with VitalBet, BetEast, and Ebettle to offer an enhanced betting experience to their players and jump-start the site with a slick modern design and unrivaled betting options.

Buff88 also gives a thrilling experience to all casino fans with a combination of traditional table games such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, as well as video poker, live casino games and compelling slots. Soon Buff88 will offer an array of the most popular and preferred games from 25 leading slot providers amongst NetEnt, Microgaming, iSoftbet, Play’nGo and many others.
