Hell yes.  And gamblers have quite obviously flocked to bitcoin.  Just look at the gambling section and look at how well the online casinos are doing.  I'm not a huge gambler myself, but I can certainly see the appeal of bitcoin and its utility.  The anonymity is a great thing, too, unless you're getting your coins on Coinbase or Circle.  They'll dump your ass faster than you can blink if you move what you buy to a gambling site.

Gambler gets many benefits of using bitcoin almost everyone knows it, deposit / withdrawal easier, without identity and more
If the gamblers out there know about bitcoin maybe they will join us here to gamble with bitcoin
just information, bitcoin is the second largest transaction in gambling, The first is trade.

Point showed of author of that article is totally obvious for every bitcoiner already, but it might be a news to people who still don't know what Bitcoin really is.

I wish this type of article would appear on gambling portal/news site/general media news agency not associated with digital currency.

Yes this is it. Because it is easy to transact anywhere because block chain transaction. It is cannot be detected by some banks when it is on the online in case that you convert into your currency which the banks will be detected. More and more it cannot be detected by FBI that is why it is uses sometimes in illegal transaction.

And with using bitcoins on playing gambling, it will make playing gambling more be easy, fast and can be done,anytime, anywhere especially gambling websites that supports on smartphone devices.

Those good point why someone should use bitcoin for gambling online. But there are dis advantages on the part of gambler, we can't play on sites without trusting the site owner. And irreversible state of bitcoin is an advantage and also disadvantage in some cases.

Since bitcoin is anonymous we need not worry about legality of gambling in the state we reside.

The last thing I want is for people to actually know where my gambling profits are coming from, so of course bitcoin is a great solution to the identity problem. However, I do doubt the anonymity of bitcoin.

Bitcoin gambling has many advantages over fiat gambling and I'm sure it will pick up more in the coming years.

Especially for countries where gamblign is illegal, and where it is difficult to transfer fiat money to online casinos, bitcoin can really "help" them to be able to gamble. And also the deposits and withdrawels will be much easier for them and everybody in general. No waiting for days, a few hours later you can have control over your coins.

Whereas, other industries were worrying about adopting bitcoin payments, gambling sites has come up with bitcoin payments and certainly enjoying its benefits. Hopefully, gambling industry are setting examples for advantages of adopting bitcoin payment so that other industries will follow.

Online gambling is gaining popularity, that is obvious. Bitcoin gambling can give many players exactly what they wish, anonymity, fast access,
and we can gamble from our mobile phones.
I agree with reasons in article, "bitcoin was born on the Internet and was made especially for online use", and this is why I also believe that
bitcoin can dominate on online gambling scene. For sure not just for that, but that will be one of the things that people will spend most bitcoins.

Agree with this,  bitcoins  accesibility and  fast treansactions are its  edge  compared to other  payment methods  or  deposit methods. And people  like  this  kind of  convenience which they would  like  to use bitcoin on gambling as you said  people  would spend  most  bitcoins. Being anonymous is one  of the  most important feature especially to those  gamblers  which gambling is  prohibited on their country. They could able  to play without  risking  its identity.

Yes, Gambling is not the only industry to get benefited with bitcoin system. Wherever there is a requirement of most of flexible and easily adaptable payment system, then bitcoin be the solution for those industries.

Yep. Trading is a whole new world for gambling. And you can actually earn big from it. While it may feel the same as gambling. But atleast you are much more in control than flat out games based on luck and chances.

In my opinion gambling has been great for bitcoin with bitcoin gambling becoming extremely popular because of its anonymity, its accessibility, quick deposit and low transaction fees.
I think in the future bitcoin will become commonplace in the greater internet gambling scene, there are just so many advantages over traditional internet gambling.

Without any doubt, gambling industry will find their new peaks with bitcoin payment system. Because gambling sites can provide many benefits to their gamblers by having the payment processor like bitcoin.

I think those who already are using bitcoin for online gambling purposes went for this because of these factors what are told in this article. This is good for new people and will be helpful a lot to understand and looking online gambling by these perspectives. I started online gambling with Bitcoin because of these elements long time ago.

The reasons why gamblers use bitcoin is anonymous its safe for who's get ban from their country, if their country not allow gambling
Low fees, other payment processor will ask bigger fees than bitcoin
bitcoin can be used for around the world
bitcoin easy to purchased also easy to trade
and the last is bitcoin very easy to use

i do agree with those things that using bitcoin for online gambling is more benefit than other payment method because i have been gamble using other payment processor such as webmoney or perfectmoney but that was not too secure or effective and with bitcoin i did gamble with more comfortable because such as those sites says instant payment or more privacy however bitcoin casinos also who indirectly has made bitcoin more popular currently

Hell yeah bitcoin is every where and bitcoin can hide privacy for those users and bitcoin has no fee's when you are entering in bitcoin gambling well there are chance that you are loosing bitcoin but investors are choosing bitcoin not to trade not to use for business but to gambled they can easily earn money on this.

For me, I think the reason why gamblers actually turned into Bitcoin is different from what I called misconceptions but basically because of the protection it offers which is the issue of anonymity because for me personally I wouldnt have gone into gambling offline firstly because of the calibre of people that do it over here and mostly because of the way the society view such activity but with bitcoin,I can do it conveniently...

correct mate after they allowed bitcoin as one of their accepted currency they gave bitcoin popularity for the fact that bitcoin transaction can be done easily and anonymously i think that two things really affects the casino house if they have it it will easy for the players just to place their bets in time and without knowing their real identity. hope more and more big casino house will accept btc transaction for more success of this investment that we all have.

Bitcoin is more than just a gambling currency and it way of freedom to use in various field of life at the moment, it became popular currency to use for online purpose because it is more faster and secure than any other currency, it is really helpful for newbie to get in and use it without any hesitation and fear there.

1) Having same value everywhere.
2) Easy to use as compare to fiat currency,
3) Having more fun while gambling with bitcoin.
4) No need to covert into any other currency,
5) most of the casino accept it easily.

Yes indeed many online gambling using bitcoin. Perhaps because bitcoin has its own currency, and bitcoin gambling is growing rapidly. Perhaps the factor that makes the owner of a gambling site using bitcoin as online gambling.

All these reasons are what made online gambling with Bitcoin so much attractive and brought back many players who were having privacy and security issues. It is best solution for the problems and couldn't be much more better than this. I also have switched my online gambling to Bitcoin only while offline still with fiat money.

Absolutely right whatever everyone said here and I will have my input by adding words this way. It were not just gamblers who were having some problems in regarding identity issues but also casino owners have much more complications. Bitcoin just provided best solution which is good for both parties to give them maximum satisfaction.

That's right. Indeed the best famous online gambling sites use Bitcoin nowadays instead fiat. Its more easy and reliable for both owners and users to use Bitcoin in gambling than other currencies.
