Bitcoin Forum

Are there any statistics on how gambling with Bitcoin (and crypto generally) develops? I would be interested if it increases or decreases. From time to time there are articles on media like Coindesk but I'm not sure if you can believe the data.

NLNico's website (http://dicesites.com/) contains interesting information (total wagered, daily bets, total invested, etc) from different Bitcoin dice sites including alts. I know there's another website that compiles the stats of different Bitcoin gambling sites (not limited to dice) but I can't remember the exact name. I'll edit this if I can find them.

Edit : After a few minutes of searching I have some good news and bad news. Good news is that I found the site it's called TheBitcoinStrip (https://thebitcoinstrip.com). The bad news is that they took down the casino stats page (https://thebitcoinstrip.com/stats/).

Yup, dicesite's is is really the only decent option out there. Also if you check https://dicesites.com/graphs it'll also show sites that are not strictly dice sites but have open stats (like bustabit, which is probably the most popular casino (with open stats?))


Yeah, thebitcoinstrip used to be good. But it was sold to a new owner who only really cares about pushing ref links. I wouldn't take anything it says very seriously

The very first statistics is, always google the name of your preferred gambling site before depositing any money on it. Blog articles, reviews are always fake and only links on bitcointalk can give you a proper overview of the website.

I imagine that gambling with bitcoin as opposed to fiat currency is more risky because the proxy of a 'digital currency' doesn't hold the same mental weight value. That was the case for me anyway, because I could justify that I was only losing 'magical internet coins' instead of real money. Unfortunately, this all happened back in 2014, so my magical internet money would eventually be worth over 100x paper money.

I have some data from month of June, I was surprise because some of the rating thread make some to be big that maybe not so big.  I dont have all data just some.

I organize by bounce rate:

Website	Visit June	Bounce %
anonibet.com	13730	25.33
jetwin.ps	less than 5000	28.34
bitcoinrush.io	9876	33.52
betking.io	24627	34.22
mbet.io	24606	39.74
betcoin.ag	116988	39.91

I think this is what OP ask.

Yes, the use of digital currency as gambling is very risky especially when there is a great chance that in a couple of years time you'd just lost a fortune.

Thanks for your effort!
NLNico's is exactly what I was looking for. Since it is a relatively new site, long term statistics about Bitcoin gambling usage is not provided.
Any further similar sites?

I am interested to know if there is a website about statistics for sport betting which to show the total number of sport betting websites that accept bitcoin, their overall deposit and withdrawal status so it can give us a better overview of how sport betting is in bitcoin.

I know that it should be way below the giants like bet365 but still it would be good to know so we can have an overview on what numbers are there.

If you are looking for the traffic statistics then you can launch your own project to track the data because traffic statistics are available in the internet. I see someone has already pointed out the data based on bounce rate.

However, if you are looking for the crypto gambling data based on the amount spend or bankroll details, then you will be disappointed because majority of the gambling websites won't provide any such data to keep themselves safe from hacking attempts.

Online gambling, with and without Bitcoin, has grown drastically in a number of countries around the world, but some, such as the US and Russia, have imposed very strict regulations regarding the policies against online gambling. The reason of its increasing number of Bitcoin gambling is the anonymity and  the ease and speed of withdrawals and deposits.As well as the lack of fees that are charged to the players.

Are you the one that collected this stat or you have some reference with these numbers?

If this is yours how you managed to gather these stats? well I'm just curious to know but if not then put at least the reference/link where you got it.

Ideas coming in, what if someone can create a thread for these stats? or do we have an existing one?

This thread as per observations, was enough to get updates of the sportsbetting. If somebody will create a thread, it must be accurately detailed with current issues. Hopefully this will give every interested gamblers more reliable feeds from different bitcoin statistical data, which will help them with their goals in betting strategies.

Yes these advantages of playing gambling online using bitcoin or some other crypto currencies encourage people to play gambling online. It really make it more easy, convenient and safer for the gambling to play gambling anonymously and without knowing about their gambling activities to anyone.

Yes, you are right. But all the casinos are based in tax havens like Malta, Gibraltar or a Caribbean island. Bitcoin Gambling is also almost anonymous. For this reason, there are also a lot of users from the states like USA and Russia gambling in online Bitcoin casinos. I am not aware that there has ever been a judgment therefore.

Wow!! I had no idea how much traffic some of those sites get. I wonder what their main sources of traffic are, whether it's free or paid, from affiliates, search engines, social media or whatever. But I would say as more people start using crypto, these figures will only increase.

I don't think this thread shall be enough for that statistic but if ever someone will create it he must know what he's doing.

Agree with the accuracy of data and it should be also from some source who's reliable to gather those data to make the stats informative.

Interesting right?

but if a digital currency is used not from a personal pocket, in the sense that digital currency is dead money obtained from the profits from other activities, I think it's only natural that we do gambling using bitcoin because we don't feel loss because of the money we use to gamble is the result of the profits that we have earned and not taken out of our personal pockets

yea bitcoin gambling is driving more attention everyday than traditional money ! a big portion of traffic is driven by bitcointalk forum though signatures mainly like the one i'm wearing  , also some of these websites try to rank in search engines keywords.

I wonder if these figures though are accurate . i mean how come was the website able to pull out these numbers , from what i know these numbers are confidential .

Dead Money? What are you talking about? Do your personal pocket money just pops up of nowhere or growing it on a tree? Or maybe you got a rich parents that can give you a sum of money, I really think you need to first earn the money before going straight through your pockets, And by saying that digital currency is dead money and it is really OK to just waste on gambling on my opinion are not a good mind set, I really think it is also hard to earn Cryptocurrency and saving and not wasting it is a good choice that saving fiat money, Because of the increasing value it can have,

And on the topic about statistics of some gambling site I really think this site is great and really helpful
https://dicesites.com/

usually if in casino gambling there is no gambling statistics, from the start of profit data and some users who experience defeat and victory, but in other gambling such as sportbet, bustadice usually has statistics of defeat and victory even with its users

How were they collecting the data and do you think they were accurate ? If I had an online casino, I would not like to share this data in public as it can result in some problems in future.

Most websites I've looked at, particularly dice casinos did have all the stats  information available and I think showing it its a sign of a proper casino.

I remember reading before that at one point many years ago, Bitcoin gambling was responsible for more than half of all Bitcoin transactions. So whatever people want to say about casinos and gambling, we should remember that it was a lot of gamblers who were early adopters. And look at us here,,, still gambling and still using Bitcoin. Look at how active this forum is too, full of people and new casinos coming up. So yeah,,, I do not know about statistics and what people have shared is useful thank you, but for my eyes I know there is a growing community. The casinos I play at see more people coming, more wagers, more prizes. This tells me it is increasing every year.

On that website I don't see bitsler, where is it?
and as far as I know Bustadice is a dice site that was recently established, but within a week they have collected a very large wagered. :o
Btw, thank you for sharing it here, it's very good to be a reference.

I have read about this article, there are popular and trusted online gambling sites including:

1. betcoin.ag
2. slots.com
3. slots.lv
4. Fortune jack

I think that only such casinos are paying taxes which are registered with the government and they have already got a license from the government. There are a lot of online casinos which are not registered and they are not paying any tax.

I never searched for total statistics of gambling and crypto gambling,I always used to see the stats of that gambling site form the site itself.But it is good to see some information about the crypt gambling and how it is getting developed day by day.
@OP is not asking about the different gambling sites,he is asking bout the sites which provides the collection of stats about ga,bling.

Tried looking for but can't the research paper in which a blockchain analytics firm still found a lot of use in wallets identified to belong to very old gambling sites like 999dice (mainly because it's a favourite place to tumble Bitcoin as well due to supposedly large volumes deposited wagered and withdrawn from there). It's been years since any of the big guys in blockchain forensics like Chainalysis published any sort of data on gambling-related transactions, but I suppose none of that can capture volume of Bitcoin gambling since almost none of that happens on-chain.

In fact, after DirectBet.eu closed down, I don't think there's any more gambling site that settles on chain (except I guess now all those smart contract betting going on on Ethereum).

Looks like we're stuck on dicesites.com and TheBitcoinStrip. Though, the former relies on data we have to trust is accurately relayed by all the sites feeding to it, and the latter, as pointed out, has a different, profit-related agenda now so shouldn't be trusted any longer.

You don’t have to find what is good and bad in gambling or sites that host gambling things. This must not be an aspect of judgment. I am really shocked that why people don’t understand this factor. When I and many others can see the deforms and destruction that bitcoin has made in lives of gamblers, then why they can’t. They must be knowing the few pros and huge cons of this as well.

We shouldn’t be interested to answer such questions in this way. If he is asking about gambling sites so must be telling him not to get into this anymore. They should know the cons of this gambling. Don’t let your brother die in field and you are even pushing him into it. For god sake, learn how to get yourself distant from this gambling. Try to keep gambling at arm’s distance.

That is the case. We must know the pros and cons of anything that we are going to take start with. For gambling, there are more cons than pros. Nobody ever had made good earning and living from gambling then how can we. There aren’t any hidden chances and opportunities that other might not getting and thus meeting such high losses. But this is reality about gambling that it really kills.

No it is not so. I think that most of the people are playing gambling only because they feel it more comfortable to play it only , in fact they do not need to visit a casino. For that they mostly converting their money from fiat to bitcoin to play gambling with.

I just wish bitcoinstripes continued its statistics page, that way we could have seen how much was wagered and how much was lost or won in those websites. I really doubt it must be really that difficult to get an api info call from those websites to get those information to show on your website, you just need to be a trustworthy bitcoin casino review type website to actually get the websites to agree with you and cooperate with you.

Now, if you really want to see the stats you need to go over to each individual website and see if they have something like that and hope you can see the general numbers in total instead of just yours.

Gambling using crypto has certainly increased greatly. The large number of deposit and withdrawal transactions can be used as a benchmark in seeing how digital currencies are developing and also the influence of digital currencies in the gambling game sector. Gambling is indeed one of the interesting sectors, therefore the impact of gambling will also be very large for the future of cryptocurrencies. Both give a positive impact, gambling games increase because cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrencies have increased transactions due to the influence of gambling.

I'm well aware on bitcoinstripes but they do stopped which it would be possibly a good statistics page to made as a reference looking out on gambling site stats when it comes to total wagered or other similar informations. For now if we are really interested to know such numbers then we would really need to do it manually to check on each site same as you mentioned.

I also came by bitcoinstrip as a formerly nice website on casino statistics. I didn't manage to recover any pages through webarchive, but I did found some info from it, which actually appeared on this forum in 2016 in a screenshot format, posted by the bitcoinstrip account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1523281.0. I also think  this  (https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-gamblers-wagered-4-5-billion-btc-2014/) article is very useful for the subject of your interest, because it analyzes previously accessible info from this site. I don't think there's much good info for you to look at, but maybe if you contacted the new (or old) owners of that website, they would allow you to work with their old stats.

I think very few sites keep the stats and even if they do, it will be recent records only. Gambling is just the onspot win and lose game and you do not need any sort of records to be maintained. There is 2nd thought to that also. It may be helpful if you keep the data of each user of now much he wager and his win/loss percentage, Maybe sites can Offer bouns or free money to the clients who are loyal to the site and keep track of their users.

Sorry I take long to respond.

I collect this data from simple web services that you can use to compare SEO plans,  there are many tools like this.  I do not want to give because this is how I make my money from work, I am sorry.  If the OP has any other question about data I can try and find, I am happy to try help.

This data available for every site on the internet if have more than 5000 visitors
