We know Asia is a massive target for online gambling companies because of the potential revenue to be earned and we also know Bitcoin is a great fit for online gambling, so these two things together must be a winning combination.

Turns out the opportunities for Bitcoin in Asia are huge and the gambling operators are just now starting to learn exactly how accepting the currency at the casinos will benefit their business.

Jiten Melwani of Hong Kong based Bitgame Labs recently spoke at iGaming Asia Congress and is an expert on the opportunities for Bitcoin in Asia.  He is familiar with the challenges and benefits that come along with accepting the currency as a gambling operator and he was happy to share his deep knowledge in our interview below.

Becky Liggero: Jiten, thank you so much for joining me, its an honor to have an expert like yourself to talk on opportunities for Bitcoin and gaming in Asia.  To start, can you tell us what Asian countries are particularly Bitcoin-friendly how their regulators plan to deal with the currency?
