Gambling is a very problematic issue in many countries.

Can gambling online be a legal problem in your country? (which country)

I don't know really. But many people are doing it from here. Physical casino is legal here while physical sports betting is illegal.

No gambling is not legal into my country but i don't have issue to play online there, i prefer to play on those online gambling where bitcoin is accepted so that i am totally anonymous while betting on those site so that i think bitcoin has great future in so many countries for online gambling.

Bitcoin online gambling would be illegal in most countries, if it was not regulated in some form. Most of these bigger Bitcoin gambling operations are operating from islands with their own independent laws and rules and it's a perfect hiding place for them. Some of them are blocking users based on their location, where it is illegal for them to participate in Bitcoin online gambling. ^hmmm^

i really don't know if it is legal in my country but i think yes it's like that there is some online casino here and they are calling it e-games casino and also i have seen this name on some places near in my hometown .

I don't care about this online gambling is legal into my country or not, when i am playing on bitcoin related gambling sites than i feel so much safety because i don't need to submit any kind of document there so that i don't need to be worry about this.

I also think in Europe online gambling is much easy and anybody can play on online gambling, yes it is legal into my country.

Yeah online gambling is legal into my country so that it wouldn't be any problem to play with fiat on online gambling site but i prefer to play with bitcoin because it is more secure option for online gambling, bitcoin gambling is getting more popularity at the moment due more privacy option.

i am not so sure about how legal gambling is in my country. although i have been gambling online with bitcoin and never had any problems and none of these sites are blocking me anyways. and since i play with anonymous bitcoin i don't care about anything either.

I get started my online gambling with bitcoin so that it is not a problem for me whether it is legal or not into my country because i don't like to play with fiat currency on any gambling site, it is just headache to play on that kind of online gambling as per terms and condition these are very complicated.

I think It's neither yes nor no because in our government, online wasn't seem a thing for them. They mostly focus on criminals and terrorist. So they don't have time to put any regulations online except for cybercrime law(gambling is not part of our cybercrime law).

It isn't, but there are still some large-scale online gambling operators around here that tend to do their operations in secret. The government here do not allow such kind of industry, but it is still very evident and I think it is also backed up by the government itself.  >:(

It is not legal here in the Middle East, but i am still gambling online due to anonymousity, just using VPN sometimes, if the site is blocked.

its illegal here, so i used mirror link to access it

I think it's legal here, online gambing in my country. Because so far, i never heard a news about an online gambler get caught or something about that.

I really dont know and i also dont care about it but i think its legal(PH) as long as you have a business permit and you are paying tax.

Gambling is legal and needs to be licensed in the UK as far as I know, there are multiple bookmaker stores around the UK and also online.

Bitcoin sites however seem to be quite scarce as they need to apply for a license to be able to operate within the UK, most of the sites you find mentioned in the forum do not allow signups from those based in the UK, although if you are so inclined you can get around that but as a rule they are not open to UK residents.

Basiccaly gambling is illegal on my country (offline or online gambling) and it will hard become legal but there are still many people who do it. And if they be cought will be processed by the law.

Here in Belgium it's legal to gamble online or offline if the casino has the proper licenses.
But the number of sites where it's legal is very limited.

That's the reason why most gambling site online get riched, they aren't paying taxes. I think that's how most new business gambling site owners do so that they can take advantage in it and profit more.

yes we already notice that gambling can be worst thing that make people brooke,its why in many country gambling was illegal and might forbidden,even online gambling. and of course i will say gambling will not legal in my country,and some asian country will do same,might except macau.

For now in my country there is no law which describes the prohibition of gambling online. The country I just focus on the perjuan Offline, but there is a possibility that in the future there will be a ban on online gambling in a country I. Because gambling has a negative impact if we do it wrong

Online gambling is quite new to many people in my country. I am very sure there are not more than 50 people who do online gambling here. Therefore, there are no rules as such to govern or prohibit online gambling.

i suppose thats a technical issue and could be correct in that context. just make sure that if u win then maybe to declare those as proceeds from 'investment abroad'

Whether it can be trusted ..? , I think that every country is definitely 10-20% of the population of those countries do gambling. So surely you haven't learned about it and possibly in your country yet there is that dreadful event/occurrence of gambling so that your country there is no strict rule about bitcoin

in my country , there is no problem in gambling , there is no law that prohibate gambling online , everybody is free for what they do :D

Honestly, I don't know. I think normal gambling is illegal but I don't know about online and Bitcoin gambling.
 My country isn't realy familiar with Bitcoin so they don't know for Bitcoin or Bitcoin gambling. I saw a few Youtubers gamble online (with fiat) so I don't think it's illegal, but I didn't really check, it's just my thought.

of course not, my own hany dare gamble on online sites or games. I guess it does not matter if only in that place. but if you play for real, of course you will be arrested

I have to agree with you that it is problematic and can become an addiction which is really bad and could have a big impact on someone's life.

So far there's no problem about online gambling in my country but they might put a law in the future.

the laws can only affect the casino owners if they have registered their site in the country and they are known by the government.

for the users it wouldn't matter because we are using bitcoin which can be anonymous if we want to and also to access the casino website you can always use a vpn.

but i would say that even if the country legalizes this. i don't think online gambling casino owners would still rather have their casinos anonymous and illegal. that way they would profit more.

in case it becomes regulated then staying anonymous for bitcoin casinos that are working online also means they will not pay any taxes. and that can help them a lot in their earning money but also it may cause lack of trust in their system because it is not legal yet.

No my country forbid any online gambling, they put blocker to our ISP to filter out the gambling site, but luckily the government hasnt blocked he bitcoin gambling sites, so its a very convenient way for me to do online gambling using bitcoin

Here we are allowed to some extent to gamble, but the government has decided to implement new rules to make them able to tax gambling better.
Which means more taxes for casino's which will forward it to the gamblers. It's really sad the government think they can just tax everything.

In my country for now there is no clear law about online gambling, but there is one interesting story about it. Administration for luck games ( lottery and everything else ) said that foreign sites on internet didn`t get permission from them to work in Serbia. For now that didn`t pass in parliament, and commissioner for information of public importance said that for now just high court can forbid that.
For now everything is allowed in my country, and I don`t think they will forbid it. Even if they do, that will be just cause of monopoly, they will open their sites and we can play only there. Or big sites will need to be registered and pay some taxes for that. Government in my country like to earn money, and everything is allowed if you are rich.

in my country all the illegal gambling game laws. government does not allow us to play at all gambling. we could go to jail for this. but many of the players are secretly hiding and felt playing gambling from home computer. but most of the action is risky.

Some gambling games are legal to my country,

But if you are referring to online gambling games then most certainly there are only few games that are not allowed,

But as far as I know there is no strict ordinance that authorities follow and implement to put charges against gamblers here, as some or mostly the authorities here d also love gambling. LOL

My country has many social problems and gambling is no different. We have some of the biggest casinoes around though. Gambling I not illegal its just not allowed to be advertised the same way other things are. Gambling has become a problem sometimes here but I'm not sire exactly how they deal with it.

That's actually a question I've never thought about before. I don't know and i don't really care as long as the site carries on operating for me. Guess I'll know when they shut out my ip or they themselves get shut down. it's very illegal in china and by the sounds of it that ain't stopping them.

obviously physical casinos is illegal in my country but i was never know about regulation of online gambling in my country but my thought seems yes it's illegal too but as long as I do not get into trouble regarding my activity for using online gambing i think it's fine

All most all country gambling is illegal only except America. I don't know it is common in America, but we see a lot of casinos there. In my homeland also it is illegal but here no one care about this we see a lot of hidden gambling house in all places in my homeland. So it is illegal, but it will not effect on gamblers if we do any white transaction then the only government will ask.

In my country i don't think it is illegal to play on online gambling casinos, in Europe it is much easy to play with comfort from home but i am playing online with bitcoin so that is not a issue for me to play online because gambling with bitcoin is really easy.

It is illegal in our country, there are many people arrested because they get caught playing online gambling. So we need to be careful when playing an online gambling. Even though bitcoin gambling is anonymous, but once you get caught by policeman then you cant do anything.

In my country it is legal and as this is one of the European Unions.I place bets without any problem there are many sites operating with license.I don't have this worry of playing it may be problem if I win.If I win it will be counted legal money.I am happy and can understand what people feel where online gambling is illegal.

Online gambling is not legal here in my country but people do gambling here i know some people who do online gambling.. The reason why gambling is not legal here in my country is due to  religious issues..

My country has many social problems and gambling is no different. We have some of the biggest casinoes around though. Gambling I not illegal its just not allowed to be advertised the same way other things are. Gambling has become a problem sometimes here but I'm not sire exactly how they deal with it.

In my country, Gambling is not legal. Gambling illegal means it includes both online and offline. But they allowed for offline gambling that too only one place it's an island there we can play and cash out there only. In online gambling which can stop there are a number of sites we see on the internet so they can block sites and few sites may open for us so online gambling is prevalent in everywhere.

I feel the same as bitcoins are not yet legal and hence gambling on bitcoin websites is perfectly fine. When our bank doesn't know about it, the legality issue doesn't arise. It only matters if these gambling websites have a legit license so that they just don't run away with our money.

This is a very modern technologies in the world of gambling. Many countries that prohibit gambling, but many are also in violation of the ban. Proved to be growing and the amount of gambling in various countries. I think gambling is not gambling and may be stopped only be stopped when an Apocalypse

I live in the Philippines and online gambling is certainly legal in my country. They don't illegalize any gambling stuffs in this country. But now that the President has changed, I think there might be some changes with the rules and regulations. The new president is in the news everyday because he is solving tons of issues made by the previous president.

Even if the new president would add a rule in our cybercrime law about online gambling, I don't think it will be implemented well at all. Everyone can be anonymous when they use VPN. The cyber crime police of our country isn't that good in tracing people. Even if you scam people on the Internet, you wouldn't get traced unless you have your whereabouts posted. I believe that if online gambling becomes an illegal thing, gamblers wouldn't actually be in jail.

here in our country "Philippines" bitcoin gambling is not illegal but it depend what kind of gambling you do if you playing gambling on illegal like dog fights they will try to track you and if they track you they will arrest you in our country dog fights are illegal

you are a lucky person that in your area casino and online gambling are legal.in my are gambling is all round illegal in all its types. either it is casino or in hujra or betting on matches or even you are doing it online. every game which have the gambling element is forbidden in my area. the government have to arrest those people who are doing gambling who are running a casino are supporting online gambling there is a proper section in the low of our state.

yeah, laws in Philippines are not that strict like on other countries.. :-[, I hope it will be better.

i think the Muslims countries laws will be more strict that Philippines. being Muslim i know some laws about the gambling and the drinker. islam totally forbibben from gambling and drinking wine. it says that the drinker the carrier of the wine mean the supplier the manufacturer and the supporter all are will be punishe in charge of wine. similarly it also disappoint the gambling its all types its supporter and the gambler.

Yeah in all muslim countries gambling is strictly prohibitted and the reason was explained by you in detail..

Religion in the Philippines. The Philippines proudly boasts to be the only Christian nation in Asia. More than 86 percent of the population is Roman Catholic, 6 percent belong to various nationalized Christian cults, and another 2 percent belong to well over 100 Protestant denominations.


I think that's why gambling laws are not strict in philpine... Right?

No gambling is not something that is legal in my country even sometimes very difficult to find gambling sites in my country, I was lucky to know bitcoin so sometimes I can gamble but not too often.

i have no clear idea about this but may be not legal in my country. i think it is not even legal in so many other countries. it is clear to me that in my country gambling like casino and other gambling like on sports are not legal here but still people are involve in these activities illegally.

In India, Casinos are not allowed to be on land. They have to build it on ship. Other than that, I dont really know about online gambling though.

No. Gambling itself is not legal but I still do gamble at times. Since bitcoin wallets do not require an ID, I find it safe to gamble and I hope it does not become an issue later on. In any case, bitcoin sources can not exactly be tracked/traced.

Same with me in my country are not allowed any type of gambling online or offline equally prohibited
but the government can not do much to address the issue of online gambling every year new gambling sites always come
until now many people gamble online because it is more secure probably until the government found a way to close all gambling sites

I'm from Portugal and is not a problem. Well at least is not ilegal, but the problem is that betting site need to have a license and right now only betclic has it, so there are not many options to choose from. I use to bet on betfair and now I can't.

It's just that the government don't focus on small issues like gambling. Once the issue become bigger than expected, that's when they will do some action. Now that there's a new President, let's see how strict they will be. But, I don't think there's an anti-online gambling law so gamblers will be alright. And also casinos are all legal and they have certificates. The only type of gambling that is illegal in the Philippines is the dog fighting because it's against the animal's rights.

in my country is not legal gambling. even my father was in prison for one year. because of gambling it was very depressing but no one can catch you if you do gambling in bitcoin
so I'm very grateful to bitcoin because I can gamble again without any fear

do you want to philippines give strict laws on gambling mate? yeah every country has its own rules for addressing gambling. in my own country prohibited gambling. but you can still make gambling in secret yeah it was quite difficult. but you can gamble with ease in bitcoin

Yes in all most all country Gambling is illegal. But yes you can gamble it from Bitcoin anywhere in the world it is very user-friendly. That is why Bitcoin become very famous.  You can find in your country also there are many hidden gambling places near by you. So I think playing gambling with Bitcoin is not a problem.

i think gambling is no illegal in all countries. you ca find so many legal cassino, can you tell me that what are the people doing in casino. definantly they are doing gambling there. so if casino are legal then how can gambling is illegal there. you i tell you that gambling is illegal in my country and you cannot find any casino here. even an illegal casino.

Yeah were I am from online gambling is legal but to be honest I do not like online gambling because I do not want my information on all these online gambling sites.
I only gamble at real life casino because there you can feel the vibe and I just trust it more.
