Bitcoin-only gambling site Cloudbet.com has introduced what it claims is the world's first mobile casino to only accept the internet currency.

The new platform will offer classic table games like blackjack and roulette, as well as a variety of Betsoft-powered slots.

Limits on blackjack will start at one milibitcoin (34p) and extend to five bitcoins (£1,600)

This is an exciting step forward for our customers,” said Dennis Laudrup, Cloudbet head of customer engagement.

"Our players now have the opportunity to enjoy the thrill of casino games played for real bitcoin any time they have a spare minute, no matter where they are around the world. With the convenience of true mobility, players can play for a few minutes or a few hours – all they need is a mobile device and a mobile data or WiFi connection."

The mobile casino will be available on iOS and Android.
