most players will choose ethereum to get money easily. Seeing the comments of this announcement on Bitz Twitter account, most of the players did the same. However, several people choose option number two. In my opinion it is better to choose ethereum because if i have $500 ETH cash, i can bet any amount. For example: 50% of eth lost will not be a problem. Even if i don't want to, it is possible to withdraw directly without any wager requirement. The interesting thing is that I chose the option number one.
It only makes sense to take ETH in this particular instance, haha. Even if you plan to gamble with the $500, ETH is a reputable coin, so just take it, and you can avoid the 3x wager, which is sometimes painful if you are a sports bettor, for example.
I checked the tweet and 2 users chose a $500 balance over $500 cash in ETH. Maybe it makes some sense with the ETH graph going down

I think if a gambler has a good opportunity, he should take advantage of it. Since two options are given here, the one that is comparatively easier should be adopted. But yes it totally depends on the mindset of a gambler. Because if he wants to have more fun, he can accept the option of "wagering requirements". Because here bonus money is not guaranteed to win. And 3x means $1500 bet, which is very expensive.
I mean, it's not that hard.
You can wager $1500 with $20-30 by playing some 98% RTP game. But yeah, why take the risk when you can get a no-wager strings attached cash bonus
