Privacy coins

Monero, Zcash and Dash approach transaction privacy differently from the transparent chains that carry almost all casino volume. None of the operators in our current ranking lists them among their main supported assets.

What they do differently

• Monero obscures sender, receiver and amount by default through ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential transactions. Privacy is not optional, which is the important design decision.
• Zcash offers shielded transactions using zero knowledge proofs, but shielding is optional and historically a minority of transactions used it. An unshielded Zcash transaction is as transparent as Bitcoin.
• Dash offers a coin mixing feature. It is considerably weaker than the other two and Dash is frequently mischaracterised as a privacy coin on that basis.

Why casinos rarely support them

Not primarily ideology. Structural constraints.

• Many major exchanges have delisted them, which makes it hard for players to acquire them and hard for operators to convert them.
• Operators run blockchain analytics on deposits as part of their anti money laundering programme. An asset that defeats that analysis is difficult to accept while maintaining a compliance posture.
• Payment processors and banking relationships frequently exclude them.

The result is that the assets offering meaningful privacy are the least available, and the transparent assets that offer none are universal.

What this means practically

If privacy is your priority, the realistic levers are not asset choice. They are avoiding the card on-ramp, funding from a wallet you control rather than directly from a verified exchange account, and understanding what each party in the chain can see.
