Anonymity and popularity of Cryptocurrency are two of it's the best attraction.
And Cryptocurrency games are more transparent.
Will, there comes a time that all online gambling sites will be Cryptocurrency based?

Well yes, probably. In my side, I won't gamble using my fiat because it is required you to pass KYC and that is involved in your personal identity. I think it is good if we still remain anonymous in an online gambling site as a being gambler. Therefore, I still looking for crypto for having a convenient transaction when it comes to depositing and withdraws. Indeed, the best is crypto for gambling.

No, fiat based ones would still exist no matter what because there would be always players who do prefer on playing fiat based rather than on considering crypto.
We know that there are people who dont totally trust on how crypto works and they dont really care at all and by means of security they do highly believe on what fiat-based online casinos have the edge.

Cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular day by day. This cause crypto-based gambling websites to become more popular too.
Using cryptocurrencies makes deposits and withdrawal unlimited. The most important feature is that we can be assure of what is going on behind the website for determining the outputs. These cause crypto-based platforms more popular. One important thing that should take into account is regulations. Now there is no restrict regulation for most of crytp-based gambling websites and they are working without authentication. This is what users like.
It's likely that fiat-based gambling website lose the competition to crypto-based websites and prefer to use cryptocurrencies. But many of them will exist as long as fiat exists.

At best there would be most of them if cryptocurrencies becomes very big in the future years. It's impossible for all gambling sites to be based only on cryptocurrencies because those gambling sites who are big will always add different currencies and other payment options if they notice a lot of people use it. Some casinos would make gambling more convenient for others just to have more players.

I don't think that will be possible. They become popular but not all of them will be crypto based. Common people are still finding it hard to adopt crypto. Reason i think they will be popular thou is that most countries are illegalizing gambling so people will switch to using cryptos to do illegal gambling

I don't want to close any possibilities that it will soon to come as we only talking about online gambling sites. The continuous growth of crypto, in fact, many gambling sites are adopting crypto base programs seems to be attracting more gamblers and it is an indication that we are closely into that.
If that will happen, that would be great and it correlates with big business to adopt also.

that is the sams as people using fiat over crypto.  if there will be fiats , there will always be service or websites that accepts fiats.  the only way to see all gambling sites will accept crypto is when crypto replace fiats and any other currencies but i dont think that it can happen so easily. 

but besides , fiat gambling sites are not that popular when compare to crypto based gambling.   the time will come that crypto gambling will grow more and fiat based gambling site will be totally dump out .

Not really but there will be times that the majority of gambling sites will be Cryptocurrency based, maybe the ratio could go as high as 9 to 1 Crypto based gambling sites can cater to all kind of gamblers, it's the safest way to play, because you cannot counterfeit your deposit because of it's transparency in the blockchain.

That will only happen if the governments approve cryptocurrency and gambling at the same time, so there will be much gambling website will launch. Perhaps, the government will approve cryptocurrency, but I don't think all countries will make gambling as a legal thing because that will be related to that country itself.

I think now, online gambling became famous among the people, and now people are trying to use crypto as the bet. I guess that soon, more people will use crypto gambling to play gambling because they are really concern with their identity on the internet that could be sell in the dark market.

Yes why not with the way how adoption and Cryptocurrency are progressing and the numbers of Cryptocurrency gambling sites are launching the probability is high if you make a comparison between fiat-based and Cryptocurrency gambling sites, it favors the latter than the former, and it will happen if they the government can give recognition to Crypto gambling sites.

Why it should be? Bitcoin adoption will never take place in the whole world even how positive people are. Gambling is everywhere. Lots of countries will not lift their ban into cryptocurrency for at least decades or more from now. Gambling can consider as money-making scheme even for a government, therefore, fiat-based gambling will last a lifetime.

Just enjoy the current status of crypto gambling and don't mind the unrealistic thing to happen which is all online gambling sites will be crypto-based.

Due to the nature of cryptocurrencies, i think casino owners saw this opportunity to setup online casinos that based on cryptocurrency since it has anonymity and transparency due to public blockchain and besides fiat gambling isn't popular and risky due to potential dangers of putting bank details on site that we don't know if it invulnerable to hacking but the problem is, the government they are trying to stop or regulate cryptocurrencies and also, in some countries online casinos are barely illegal and could face charges if they were caught.

If cryptocurrency will be used by many people in the world then there will be a time that it will happen. Now the question is will it be accepted online??

There are some countries at this moment that banned crypto already and there are some gamblers in their country that are using fiat money to gamble online. Lucky for some countries because they can use crypto to gamble but unlucky for some. Online gambling sites slowly increases the adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general and if the number of online gambling sites increases annually then the adoption will increase too in a faster pace.

It is possible for cryptocurrency to be the only currency that will be used in gambling site, nothing is permanent because bitcoin earlier was the only crypto used for gambling but until fiat is banned for use. So you can understand if that will happen because that  is what I know that can do that. If it should happen, even the sites too will be banned from using crypto.

Maybe, we don't know. If you say that it is crypto currency based, then there would be no other currencies except for cryptos but there are gamblers that do not want to use them or be any part of it so I think they would still accept fiat. It is a possibility but for now, I don't think that would happen.

Will it be accepted online? Yes it's happening right now, Cryptoc based gambling sites is lording it over, I have a belief that majority of gambling sites will prefer accepting Cryptocurrency, and gamblers will easily trust gambling based on Crypto, for the simple reason that it's transparent, even the payment is transparent in the blockchain.

Gamblers wants transparency and this is something that Cryptoc based gambling sites main attraction.

Every online gambler wants to stay anonymous and that is the primary reason they are gambling online. Cryptocurrencies' main attraction is anonymity and that is why more and more Gambling sites are now crypto ready. So, yes I believe crypto is the future of online gambling.

There will be a chance that all online gambling sites are cryptocurrency base but there will be still a casino that you can only gamble with fiat money and you must also complete the requirements needed for the KYC of the casino that you wanted to gamble for example.

That's likely going to happen, this fiat-based gambling sites will integrate cryptocurrency or they are going to lose more clients and of course, they want to cover more markets for their games, gambling is a multi-billion dollar industry just like porn and if Cryptocurrency dominated this market, there will be a lot of demands for Cryptocurrency.

Well, most of these online gambling sites are cryptocurrency-based and i think everyone is open to accept cryptocurrency for their gambling sites that's why i think there are no online gambling sites that are purely fiat-based only. But most of these gambling sites nowadays are not totally anonymous since there are gambling sites requires KYC first for you to be able to gamble.

it can happen but not in the near future, it definitely takes a lot of time. not all countries accept crypto.
if crypto is acceptable to all people, maybe online gambling based on crypto will be very fun for fans of crypto itself.

Well, so what do you think now that usually online gamblings do regarding using as a fund? I think they are all using crypto. Gambling enthusiasts are looking for crypto as a payment, they are afraid of using fiat because probably it has personal verification or something related like that. Indeed, from time to time it will happen that all gambling sites are using crypto as a form of cash.

Most of the gambling websites I know don't force customers to pass KYC. However we should wait and see how regulations will ne implemented.

The reason of popularity of crpyto-based gambling website in not only anonymity. Pesoanlly I like their transparency. I can be sure that the games are fair.

The chances of this coming into reality is very high although i won't want this to be the case. I don't want cryptocurrency to be associated with just gambling in general. If we conquer the gambling industry it might result to new projects, focusing their attention on just the gamble industry to profit from the hype which will result to the dominance and adoption of the currency to be one sided.

Beside, we need those fiat sportbook as competitors to bring about productive competition. Nothing wrong in hoping for this (all online sportbook to be crypto-based) but then it'll just make the industry boring. (my opinion).

More popularity of crypto-based gambling website doesn't lead to this. It causes cryptocurrencies to be more known by the people and to be used in other industries too.

Gambling websites always have their users and they will continue to compete with each other even if all of them use cryptocurrencies.

Which people are you referring to, aren't those people still gamblers?. Like I said, it only make cryptocurrency popular to gamblers understand my reasoning. Personally I would prefer other areas of the economy or our everyday life to be conquer by cryptocurrency instead of the gamble industry. We have the health, education or business sector that'll add move value to the usability of the currency if those sectors can be conquered.


Sure but the competition won't be the same. The catch here is, the fiat based sportbooks would be promoting the advantage of gambling with fiats while the crypto based sportbook would be promoting the advantage of gambling with cryptocurrency, which will brings about productive competition and it's left for the customers to decide on what platform is best for their gambling experience.

The truth of the matter is, in as much as fiat based sportbooks aren't the best choices out there, they still have their advantages so does the crypto-based sportbooks have their disadvantages.

I consider this thing isn't fun, we are just adopting into the new technology where we can use crypto for gambling and leaving fiat behind. What makes this thing is to give us a great gambling experience which is too much far from using fiat. Is that makes gamblers have some excitement and definitely wants it in the future?

With all these possible changes in the gambling world, we might expect that some of us may take advantage of this. Transparency is very important and I don't know if KYC must be implemented by then or still leaving in anonymous.

Thats will definitely happen, if many gambling sites still use fiat as their currency, of course they will lose more and more players, because many player start to go with gambling sites that accept crypto as a gambling currency, because it is much safer and private for them. businesses like this will definitely use crypto as their currency.

I dont think so.......
Fiat based online gambling will still exist as fiat will never die imho. The only best possibility is that all those fiat based online gambling sites started to integrate crypto currency as one of the payment method as what has happened since few years back where I could see some fiat gambling sites started to accept bitcoin. The main problem is, those fiat based gambling sites will still use the old terms where all players are required to verify their account by submitting identity documents and maybe selfie photo.

Definitely, there will be a time when not only casinos but every major payment processor would adapt crypto because of its safe, secure and anonymous character. It was crypto that brought me to gambling, and I can say, crypto has that charm to attract people. So, casinos surely know the psychological effect crypto can create ;)

I think for all will be impossible, we can see a lot of gambling sites already big and famous without crypto. And i think they wouldn't really care about adopt crypto as long they still have users. Maybe if all government banned gambling site and block it, and not allow people deposit with fiat, it can be possible to happen.

Most of the gambling sites are already crypto based and people prefer to use crypto instead of fiat when playing online gambling. But some gambling sites do give the option of deposits through credit cards and they will continue to do so until fiat is fully eliminated.

This could happen but it won't be that easy
I doubt government will like the idea of competing currencies used by citizens while they're outside of its control. I think government will first try to bring everything under its control.
If they ever allow it, it will probably be on well controlled gambling platforms or with government-owned cryptocurrency/token

Well, if in your place cryptocurrency is allowed then probably it is also allowed to gamblers who used in it. The government did not care as long as it is allowed to use crypto and the company owner must pay task then they have a license to operate. Probably this is the fact that the majority(or all) gambling site was conveniently use crypto than fiat. Indeed, as what you have said that is not an easy but time will come it is really happening.

@fortunecrypto I don’t even remember any online fiat based casinos, because when I had searched a while ago all I found was crypto based casinos. Even if there’re any online fiat based casinos left sooner or later they’ll accept crypto’s because gamblers love to gamble with crypto’s more. Also do you’ll think that their local laws have stopped them from converting into crypto based casinos, if yes isn’t it possible for them to get a license in a crypto friendly country?.

It will be extremely difficult as the majority of people who are gamblers are Fiat players and they don’t know bitcoin and cryptocurrency at all.

Beside that the banks will fight hard against crypto so the day when this might happen is a distant one and for now we should be happy with the gambling sites operating both in crypto and Fiat.

Fiat based online games will still exist eventhough that crypto based online sites will boom in the next five years. And perhaps those fiat based games will not fold, on the contrary they might open their own crypto based games just to stay with the competition.

Just like we witnessed in the bank vs crypto today, banking system won't simply die because everyone is moving to crypto. And I still think that majority of fiat based players are not comfortable with crypto as well.

There's a big possibility that it's going to happen if you are a fiat gambler you will make a big shift once you tried to play the Cryptocurrency gambling, that's what the experience of one of my friend, he used to play in a fiat-based gambling site and make a big shift after he experienced playing in the Crypto based game.

If cryptocurrency is widely accepted even by the government who legalizes online gambling across the world, then it is possible. And as for the players, if they really are into online gambling, at some point they'll eventually encounter crypto based. And it's a way to get to know about cryptocurrency. It still need mass adoption for it to be able to happen in the future.

It will never happen, most people continue to use government currency and it will stay like that.  Crypto will always be a minority.  I think people become too blinded by what average people do when they spend time on a niche forum like this one.

Of course, there will come a time when traditional casinos will offer other ways to bet and win using cryptocurrencies, maybe it can be buying some coupon with some Btc or Cryptocurrencies and that you bet, after your change when withdrawing you can do so much in FIAT money or transfer to the Wallet. I think this option is not very far, and online games have been very successful today, for example Bspin.io offers a range of attractive games making the player with his deposit win juicy bonuses and his chances of winning are increased, because extra funds would be used that at the moment of winning would be the percentage of profit that is withdrawn and the other rest is left to continue, I think that is where the good strategy lies.

If fiat gets completely replaced (which I doubt) then there is a chance that all gambling sites will become crypto currency based. But as long as fiat currency exist, fiat physical or online casinos will exist as there will be people out there who prefers fiat currency over crypto currency (it is for those people fiat currency managed to survive). So I guess both crypto based casino and fiat based casino will exist side by side.

I could see it happening, but I really don't see crypto completely replacing all fiat gambling sites, though there might be a time where crypto gambling sites could become more popular than fiat ones. Crypto gambling's already somewhat popular from places where access to online gambling's difficult or with people that just don't want to submit KYC information to gambling sites, and I imagine crypto gambling's only going to become more popular as time goes on just for these two reasons. A lot of people just don't want to get involved with cryptocurrency as well for various reasons, though, which is part of why I really don't think crypto gambling's going to completely replace fiat sites.

I agree with that. There will always be gamblers who will use their fiat money online. But sooner or later, they will be converted to crypto users once they learned the benefits of using it in gambling. It will take time to have all those gambling sites use only cryptocurrencies, they will always leave an option for fiat currency. Traditional payment method is not easy to replace.

I really thinks this will be the best way for the online gambling sites to move towards to
As you have mentioned there are many positive factors to support this with the obvious ones being anonymity and convenience
A few cents in  fees instead of waiting days after paying $50 for a withdraw are slowly becoming something of the past 

Yeah, you are right. Maybe cryptocurrency will be a new option in the gambling games for the transaction besides of fiat because people only know fiat to gamble. But soon, after people know about cryptocurrency, I think they will choose to use cryptocurrency because with cryptocurrency, they can hide their identity and they don't have to send any document to the gambling site.

This question is similar to "will bitcoin/crypto replace fiat in the future?" which has been discussed many times in the Bitcoin Discussion board. I have to say that crypto will never replace fiat in any type of business including gambling business. Fiat gambling business will not change to Crypto gambling business, fiat gambling may start to use crypto as an alternative payment method but fiat will be still be the main currency.
I know some people are so sure to see that there will be a time when all business are cryptocurrency based but I cant fully agree with it because I believe that fiat and crypto are not replaceable to each other.

This reasoning is very similar to when people discussed the possibility of replacing horses with cars. For thousands of years, people rode horses; no one could believe that they would ever be replaced with iron things. However, as it turned out, people preferred a more technological, faster, more convenient form of transport. Sounds familiar?

The same thing will happen with the fiat horse, it will be replaced with cryptocurrency, cryptocurrency is a computer technology car. Perhaps I argue as a crypto enthusiast, but enthusiasm helps a lot to progress.

Yes but we all know that not everyone will prefer or use crypto right? There are still gamblers out there who still like to play using fiat. Most probably, they're more comfortable with it or just a lack of knowledge how to use the other. However, there are some advantages of crypto against fiat such as the KYC. I mean, it will not require too personal questions or even won't require such at all. If they realize that, then the chance that all online gambling sites of using crypto will surely be possible.

If you also had noticed here in the forum, there is a lot of gambling platforms that almost every day launching in gambling section. So, I guess the time that OP said that the time comes online gambling sites are all accepting bitcoin or cryptocurrency as payment will become true. However, this is my personal opinion and base on my research gamblers are always afraid of using fiat in gambling due to the reason of afraid in having KYC verification.

governments hate anonymity, eventually all altcoins that have anonymity as their strong point will be targeted by governments and exchanges will not list anonymity coins


he can accept cryptos if governments legalize cryptos, but you need to understand the following:

person X has money in the bank and wants to play at the online casino, this person will not be looking for a site to buy crypto to later take that crypto and go to play at the online casino, that person will simply use his debit card and will play at the casino online (of course if this online casino accepts debit card payments) .. the point here is that many people want simple and practical things

If cryptos becomes the main stream payment of this world then all the gambling sites also will allow crypto currency as accepted deposit mode but I don't think the governments will let this happen at least for a decade from now when the adoption is very less in terms of using cryptos.

A huge possibility, I say, given the fluidity of cryptocurrencies and much easier access to it rhan bank transfers and whatnot. Also, some banks are prohibiting users from sending their own money into such kinds of services, which plainly sucks because you can't use your own money into spending it wherever you want. In cryptocurrencies, the user has the liberty to spend it everywhere, anywhere, provided that the merchant is accepting it in their establishment. Slowly, traditional online bookies are creeping into the ecosystem seeing how much market/money there is to be made here.

as long as fiat exist, No. but maybe a majority will be cryptocurrency based which I think is still a long shot. but since
for me using cryptocurrency to gamble would be more practical to use than to deposit using fiat also when using cryptocurrency
you have more option on what gambling site to play on.

It is already happening. Many of the casinos started to take payments in cryptocurrencies. There is a good article published by casino hipster: https://casinohipster.com/bitcoin-casinos/ (https://casinohipster.com/bitcoin-casinos/) - To wrap up, crypto casinos are faster for both operators and players.

Maybe what you need to ask is “would Gambling Fiat Based will adopt cryptocurrency “ as well,then I think the probability is there because both Fiat and Crypto will have same functions to serve gamblers

But to be purely crypto and fiats will set aside?nope this will never happen .Fiat is the gambling symbol ever since and taking them gone won’t become reality that’s for sure

We know this is only optional and we can't put the other to use crypto and forget fiat since gambling sites are still accepting both of them. Only be happen that all gambling sites will be cryptobased if they will never accept fiat currency. But it makes difficult for some country that never allowing them to used crypto. And with this sentiment, it might decrease the number of the gambler and they'll probably be moving back to offline casino.

If cryptocurrencies continue to show growth like they are and demand by its players to have this, then expect more gambling sites to have it as an option to fund our accounts though some regulated gambling sites will take more time to have this integrated as the await crypto regulation from wherever they are based.

Isn't it happening already?
I feel lot of the cryptocurrency gambling sites or casinos we have online is now embracing cryptocurrency as their method of payment and payout.
The reason behind It's simply because nobody wants to risk their information or credit card details online especially when state governments securities on gambling is becoming tight every now and then. Identify is very information.

Well" have big a chnace to replace fiat money online gambling and possible turn into online cryptocurrencies gambling because of anonymity and transparency and reputation of the crypto gambling online site. This dreams will come true in the right time if the whole world completely accept crupto as new form of money.

common people will find it very difficult to adopt cryptocurrencies, the government will only scare common people for various reasons.

I totally agree with this, it's most likely a legality problem that will make many people switch to crypto gambling.

Not only for the common people, but there are also those who choose to just gamble in fiat, since they find it easier or they get used to. I have seen a lot of people who engaged into an online gambling who knew about crypto yet they still choose to gamble with fiat most of the time, though they casually gamble with crypto as well. Common reasons would be, Bitcoin's high volatility, legalizations, and other government issues.

I am sure cryptocurrency will grow in the future. And meanwhile, now cryptocurrency has already taken the people attention. I think many of them already get involved in the crypto world. Many of them are trying to invest in many coins.

And with much crypto gambling website available, it will make people interest to try. They will buy bitcoin or altcoin first before they can send the coin to the gambling website. I think gambling will be a door to people to learn about cryptocurrency because crypto gambling now has been widespread and attract many people. Soon, the cryptocurrency will be available in many more online store, and it will grow fast too.

The use of cryptocurrency as the main currency on gambling sites is a very good thing because both have a connection like to anonymity because most gamblers want to protect their identity.
Early education about cryptocurrency for ordinary people is necessary. This is useful so that no one still does not know how cryptocurrency works. And even though the government scares common people the price of crypto will have no effect.

It's most unlikely to happen. But I'm not saying it's not possible. I just think most people would still prefer fiat over cryptocurrency, not only with gambling but as a general. Since it is the traditional one, it's hard to replace it with crypto-based when everyone were used to play using fiat.

It's possible if the government will wish to. However, this scenario is less likely to happen since government is not a fan of online gambling since it's very hard to monitor although it's crypto based. Transaction in crypto is transparent and irreversable however it's impossible to identify who's the real person involved in thar transaction in which it limits the scope of watchers in determining the identity of a person who is involved in any shady activity. I think stricting and regulating mixers should be their first step before considering this.

I think many are moving towards the blockchain technology just to have it more efficient and uniform with every other advanced online casinos which still operate under fiat.
The banks are following suit and migrating to use blockchain technology too from many news sites mentioning this in the European union and around the world.
So it will soon be either integrate the blockchain into your businesses model or be out of loop sooner or later.

But they will soon find out that they are losing players and customers because players find it easy to deposit and trace their deposit and withdrawal, they might not disable fiat deposit, but they may integrate Cryptocurrency payment, so they can retain old players who wants to use Cryptocurrency.

The point on this is that; what will happen if fiat is no more in use, will the gambling site force it against the popular view of the usage in cryptocurrency. So it is possible to happen.

They are not going to take away the fist I have seen gambling site that offers fiat and Cryptocurrency deposits, gambling sites will do everything to attract and make their site appealing to every sector of gamblers, they will not want to leave one big sector because they will lose a lot and their gambling site will not be competitive.

But we are talking about online gambling sites here.

It is true that people will not let go of the traditional one but that would only be in traditional gambling too.

Online gambling will improve, it will develop and eventually, it will be going to that scenario, online gambling sites being cryptocurrency-based. It is a possibility since we are talking about the future.

The trend of gambling with fiat will decrease day by day as it is easy to gamble online using crytpto. This does not mean that physical casino will stop operating but they may also introcude the payment by bitcoin and other crypto curenices. Traditional gambling will exists but with new mode of payment i.e crypto currenices.

Yes, I agree with you. The physical casino will not stop operate because of online gambling with or without crypto. They still running their business because they know people need a physical casino to get the experience of playing gambling. The physical casino will gather many gamblers to still playing on that casino. But with the growth of technology, online gambling will also invite many gamblers to come and feel the new experience by playing online gambling. Many younger gamblers who are aware of the technology will come and play many gambling games. And with the existence of the cryptocurrency, it will bring a whole new experience to them.

they will not dissapear but will only evolve into into a better platform  . 

im expecting sooner or later that fiat and crypto will work together and gambling sites will also allow fiat and other centralized payment so that every people will also have the experience to try the other that they dont experience before  .  im also expecting that offline gambling places will soon evolve and will accept cryptos  .

 i think that would be cool  . there will be no hate but only love  .

I think offline gambling and crypto gambling will still operate separate because people will choose what they think is easy for them to playing gambling. For people who are involved in the cryptocurrency, they will think that it will be easy for them to use cryptocurrency to play gambling. As long as the fiat still be used as the payment, the offline gambling will still exist and will attract more people to come, and that will happen too with the cryptocurrency. Both offline gambling and crypto gambling will run by itself.

This is just a matter of time. And not just online gambling sites but also in all other aspects of spending. Cryptocurrency will be the currency of the future and so there is no other way for online gambling sites to develop but within the bounds of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency will be used by online gambling sites not because it is anonymous, popular, and transparent as the case may be right now but because there is no other money.

Good point, the fact is here that's why they are prefered to use cryptocurrency rather than fiat. When you using fiat in online gambling most probably they are asking KYC or it will be linked to your bank account which is not good because it might be the reason for blocking your bank account to the bank. It's very fit if they used cryptocurrency in all gambling aspect online. Nevertheless, this process is I have seen in the majority of all gambling platform online.

There could be a lot of reasons why you want to hide your identity.

• Protection from DOX
• You committed criminal acts
• Famous

And more of other reasons why but why wouldn't you want to do KYC? It gives back and forth protection with the casino. Personally, I don't like to do KYC but if the company is trusted by other people and is registered with the right authorities, that's okay. I just don't think everyone would use cryptocurrencies with gambling because they are already making a lot of money using fiat. Think about it.

In some countries, gambling offline or online is prohibited. Like in my country, that is why some people who do gambling online with fiat will change to crypto because with crypto sites, they feel freely to gamble without afraid if catch break the law. And about KYC, with that thing, people will like to be anonymously play gamble because safe indicator for each people is different.

Many governments don't really have problems with online gambling. There are lots of fiat based online gambling registered and regulated by governments. I think what most governments will have hard time accepting are gamblings based on cryptocurrency.

I doubt it, for that to happen we will need for bitcoin to become the most dominant currency around the world, and while that possibility cannot be discarded I really doubt that governments are ever going to stop printing their own currencies since it gives to them too much unilateral power over people and their futures, however if bitcoin becomes big enough then I do not see why we could not reach a point in time in which every big casino has to accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies if they want to remain profitable.

I agree but it's not even about Bitcoin been the dominating currency but on what will happen to countries where cryptocurrency are banned.
Or else if the casino refuse to register their company or get a licence for it (which is not a good idea for authenticity) ;it cannot work.

There will never be all sites avoiding FIAT because more then ever in future people will have excess FIAT to spend and use.   I'm quite certain we will see a generation of inflation and excess money, you can see this will happen by the mountains of debt surrounding most people in most countries.   The debt is not repayable except by continually throwing out new cash to issue a lower rate of worth in repayment of the debt, its a trick continually repeated.  
   Governments may have all sorts of rules and regulations but the biggest motivator for them is like most people, to stay alive.   Too much debt and they will go broke, this excess money is there only chance not to screw up in the vast majority of cases of nations with large debt.   We can be sure there will many places using FIAT for a long time because the money itself is going to be plentiful and worth much less every year.

I would want to see that one day but the truth is that it's unlikely. There are still a lot of online fiat casinos that exists today and we don't even know if they will start to adopt cryptocurrencies and accept it as their currency too.

Not every gambler would like to use crypto and this is one sad reality. We're all here because we like bitcoin and other crypto stuffs but this is a huge world and thinking that most casinos in the future are crypto based, chance is slim.

They banned crypto and therefore have nothing to expect with them. Bitcoin will keep dominating as the majority of the gamblers and gambling sites are only using bitcoin. The journey of crypto isn't stopping yet, thus it gives the possibility that people will be using crypto in gambling instead of using fiat. Crypto is still new in the market and still, it needs time to fully developed and gain full trust from the community.

Agreed, and gambling industry is very big. It considers all category of people which means users who love cryptocurrency, people who doesn't want to use cryptocurrency for gambling and other needs. This means we cannot make a person into compulsion, which might end the gambling habit of the gambler. The gambling network is always in need of more and more common people using their services. Taking it into consideration they'll provided as much support for different user category and only cryptocurrency is unlikely.

We could see a majority of gambling sites accepting crypto. But for gambling site to completely ditch fiat, the world should do it first.
Crypto is still in it's early stage and developing. We don't know it's actual potential yet. Maybe we could have something different from what we call crypto or what we call fiat that could be the defacto money in the future. For current time, crypto gambling are getting more and more popular.

Probably it will happen but it takes time to that dreams could be true. Well, as I noticed that the companies who are continuing emerging now are these gambling sites. The number of companies that still growing right now is in the gambling industry. I have a doubt that all online gambling companies will only accept cryptocurrency because it is easy and reliable to use. However, since it is online gambling the possibility of using cryptocurrency is a high chance.

Agreed with you that to see major gambling sites based on cryptocurrency then the crypto itself should be mass adoption first and if we see with the current situations of crypto it very far to do so and casinos based on crypto currently only dominated by small casinos compare to the big casinos then the statistics to played is very less but i do believe it will happend in the future and casinos based on cryptocurrency could be new inovation for the people because unlike fiat casinos crypto offering good features to the users

As it supposed and positively will happen in the future if crypto stays longer, either we like it or not. If ever it does, it doesn't mean that we are disclosing fiat to be accepted cause still a lot of gamblers will be using fiat with their preference especially those countries that banning crypto.

The future of gambling relies on the owners and what makes their mind to fully change their system into the crypto base will surely have a good result as many gamblers looking this thing.

That is true. Without knowing crypto, people will tend to stay in the online casino, and they will not try crypto gambling. But if they can open their mind or they are by coincidence read about the cryptocurrency gambling, they will search on the other news. They will learn more and more, and they will try to use cryptocurrency in the gambling site.

I am sure they will like it because when they use crypto in gambling, it will very easy to do. People don't need to verify themselves. They can start with the welcome bonus, and even they can start with the faucet that will be available on any websites.

Remember that the topic is about “Online Gambling” and not Crypto gambling mate so it mean that the question is general and not specifically about crypto betting

---

It will take long time before this happens because many sites in gambling that don’t accept Crypto(or maybe they are planning soon)but until this not happen then people will bet using fiat and crypto at the same time in different sites

For me, yes, the percentage is quite or 50/50  high that all online gambling sites will be cryptocurrency based in the future, but they will not remove that fiat money. Why the percentage is 50/50 its because the cryptocurrencies capability is superb, incomes to deposits/payment, withdrawal/ cashout, transactions, transparency, etc. But on the other side cryptocurrency is not that legal, now some countries prohibited cryptos, and some ppl still don't use cryptos. But the adaption is still there, and also the era of new technology is here is it's possible. :)

Yes, providing the prefer payment of each gambler on different casino is a perfect solution to this. There's no problem with the crypto casinos because they can easily add the payment (deposit/withdrawal) option for fiat easily. As a matter of fact, many already have already included that option.

As for the fiat casinos, they will start to think which will be the most preferred crypto by their users if they are about accept crypto deposits. The number one choice is always bitcoin and the rest depends on them with demand for the alt coins.

Yeah I also hope to see gambling sites accepting crypto for gambling right now in online and casino you will have to use fiat but some of them really accepts crypto as source of payment. I hope after few years almost all sites will start accepting and They will  welcome crypto gamblers as i know crypto is our future it’s gona be part of our life.

It has to be thought of in terms of supply and demand, (in coming decade+) FIAT is going to be throwing out massive amounts of paper notes and some speculate that money will even become free (helicopter QE).  The reasoning why this will or even must occur is because of excessive debts.   The money produced must be part of the debt system built up by QE programs.  
  I know people will say what has this got to do with the OP question, the reason we all or most of us live in countries with big debt built up as part of fiscal budgets and we also all pay taxes in FIAT.   People will certainly be required to use this FIAT money in order the government debt system doesnt collapse so they will choose to spend this worthless paper money.  
  Ironically it could end up the crypto is not spent so much as people believe will appreciate in value, the fear being the FIAT paper will end up like Venezuela or Zimbabwe  

Well that simply put things that people will continue to use Fiat currency in online gambling because cryptocurrency  cannot and will not monopolize the online gambling industry.  There will always be a country that will oppose cryptocurrency implementation especially in online gambling because government are too paranoid when it comes to money laundering.

That's no possible, maybe we will surpass the popularity of fiat gambling sites but we can never replace them.
Fiat gambling sites provides security to its gamblers, especially the high rollers as all of them are registered company and therefore if they would scam, a player or their client can sue them.

Most of the crypto based gambling sites are not registered, the best possibility I'm seeing is the growth of volume of gamblers as it could more attract small gamblers but that is actually good as volume means success, as it would provide consistent profit to a gambling sites.

The idea of all online gambling sites becoming Cryptocurrency based is not gonna happen, instead those big giant websites will add crypto currenty to their payment methods to take customers from Cryptocurrency based gambling websites. At least that what would probably happen in coming years. The current blockchain technology are still far away from achieving breakout that could change the entire world form centralized to decentralized, we're still not capable even to create professional Dapps. 

You're right about  this part because the last time i checked there are still some people which are yet to totally trust, use or have good intention towards cryptocurrency.

But the chance of all gambling site to crypto base is not slim because almost all countries where gambling is legal are crypto friendly and once crypto become the mainstream of payment other gambling site owner will give in so they could match up with their business competitors.

But we can hope to see cryptocurrency can be added in the big online gambling sites so gamblers can see that now, they have another option to deposit. When they try to use cryptocurrency, I think they will like it because it's simple, easy, and not take too long to see the deposit money will arrive in their account. Besides that, we can hope that online gambling can see that the cryptocurrency can give more benefits to them, especially to gain more gamblers to play on their site.

The Government might not have anything that much against online gambling but they definitely have everything against cryptocurrency, I do not really know why they see it as a big threat and this is even enough reason,  they might want to see it eradicated which I doubt they will even succeed if they dare come up with such plan.

In my opinion, both fiat gambling and crypto gambling are doing very well and they will continue to exist. I don't see anyone replacing any. I plat with fiat and also with crypto, it all depends on the game I am interested in playing at that time. I feel gamblers that are using fiat are even more than those using cryptocurrency because fiat gambling has long existed before cryptocurrency.

I really think there will come a time that everyone accept Cryptocurrency. As far as gambling sites are concerned. A majority of online casinos that were around before Bitcoin ever existed, all pretty much accept some form of Crypto. Most of them only accept Bitcoin. But it is a step in the right direction. If you were to fast forward another 5 years I would be willing to bet that they all accept atleast bitcoin.

I do not know how true it is as I have never been to Las Vegas, NV but I read a couple 2 or 3 years ago that even real Casinos in Vegas are beginning to accept payment in Bitcoin. Pretty soon, Shreveport Louisiana, and even Tunica Mississippi will begin accepting BTC it is only a matter of time!!!

But right now. Almost any online casino I can think of accepts Bitcoins as a means of gambling.  I like that as the Feds are not all up your @$$.  It is also alot more secure as you do not have to submit your debit card information to untrusted websites!

^ The line that I underlined above was the exact purpose here why people/gamblers enthusiasts choose cryptocurrency in using as a fund in gambling. No one like to give information to the website especially when we are talking storage of our money the debit card or even ATM cards that contain our personal data. I would prefer to use bitcoin or other forms of crypto that accepted in online gambling. Nevertheless, when the time comes online kind of online gambling aspect will base on crypto.

If a big site, maybe trustable site that before only have fiat, and add crypto like bitcoin to deposit, maybe i will pick it. Because trustable site sometime is hard to find, especially if the site not ask people to do KYC. I wouldn't do KYC to any gambling sites.

The decision should be left for gamblers. There are gamblers who will need the anonymity, especially those from countries that are hard on gambling. Some gamblers wouldn't care about anonymity or other features Crypto provides as long as they get all they need on a fiat/Crypto based gambling site.

With the news and articles that circulate around the internet and tells bad things about bitcoin, they wouldn't really want to take the chance to try it and on that part, we can understand their part if they don't want to try using it.

I still don't see it on that point near in the future, we are talking about the 'all' online casinos here. That's why I've concluded that the chance is very low. However gradually, what you have mentioned will actually come into reality.

Maybe we can't this time but when cryptocurrency is fully adopted globally we could witness that most gambling sites will look for that. In fact, we are started already and the said market development will continue until we reach the highest peak. It just a matter of time, we can't make it instantly but we can make it at the right moment. There is no reason to decline such a thing if we all can get benefits from here.

To be honest, I don't think bitcoin has to be a dominant currency before this can happen, and I feel that we are almost very close to that time because as it is now, a lot of people are dumping fiat for cryptocurrency gambling not only because of its safety but also because it is more profitable and the fact that it makes them anonymous.

I believe that thetime would surely come definitely because the advantage over fiat cryptocurrency is much more valued and who know it could later become world money and the adoption rate will be 100%. Then it will be compulsory for everyone to gamble with cryptocurrency or at least they could give just for more option for countries that are yet advanced.

Indeed, aside from the anonymity issue, some gamblers are comfortable using their VISA and master card in online gambling and worst, majority of gamblers as of now has no idea about cryptocurrency or if they have, they are just too comfortable to move to the new form of gambling currency(cryptocurrency).


Believe me there is no 100% adoption in a short period of time even though they are approved by the government. And some had been obsolete even before they get halfway of the road.

That will happen in time, i also believe on that but maybe online gambling sites will still accept fiat money and they will choose to accept both currency because they know some of the gamblers are still prefer to use fiat money since the value of cryptocurrency will tend to increase year after year.

There are countries where there are very strict restrictions against cryptocurrencies and people still use crypto to gamble and many other things, people understand why some stuff is considered illegal or there are strict regulations, like it is the case of drugs, but it is going to be very difficult for governments to ban cryptocurrencies when it is only a form of money, and if they do, they cannot expect people to comply so I am not worried there will always be bitcoin casinos in which we can gamble with our coins.

Using fiat maybe but not on online gambling casino. I wouldn't bother my self to linked my credit card into the gambling site because there is a possibility that I was got hold by the bank because of gambling sources. I still prefer using cryptocurrency as a form of money on the internet. Time to time bitcoin casino will always be pumping in the gambling industry and that is expected. And all gambling online casino will be based on cryptocurrency.

It highly depends on the country but most online gambling websites that I know require the supplement of KYC in their registration.

To answer your second question, I think the time that all online gambling sites will be Cryptocurrency based once we shift the medium system to an electronic type of cash. But for the time being, it is impossible that it would happen anytime soon. The fiat system will always be present no matter how we change the medium.


The only time that cryptocurrency would be the main medium in online gambling sites is the time when we shift our system of payments, which is impossible for the time being. There are countries who lack access to the internet and other relevant stuff to cryptocurrency. Despite this shortage, making cryptocurrency as the main medium is potentially dangerous to the economy.

I think that online gambling sites would still have an option to have fiat as their currency since not all gamblers have cryptocurrency. If all yhe website will be crypto based, this might become a hassle to some of the players since cryptocurrency might not be allowed in their country. So, fiat based currency gambling sites would remain.

Crypto gambling industry is indeed increasing year to year, we can hope to see more new gambling sites come in the future but to see all gambling sites are based on cryptocurrency will not happen as I have said previously unless all countries legalize crypto as the main currency to replace fiat. Fiat casino or even any other online industry such as ecommerce will still use fiat as the main currency.
Do not expect too much while not all countries are supporting crypto as a currency. Maybe it may happen in a country where the governement supports crytpo and online gambling, but to see it worldwide is still like a day dreaming at this moment. I do not mean to underestimate crypto or cryto gambling, just looking at the fact about it.

Yes, in my opinion, fiat will always be a part of payment options in an online gambling site.
Not all gamblers have a stash of crypto, or not all the time that they have crypto in their wallet.
It is not easy for a gambling site to convert their options only to crypto.
This will affect their business so I don't think it is their best interest to be an all-crypto gambling site.

Yes it is possible but there would still be an option to use fiat. You can't force all people to use cryptocurrencies and there are still some countries where it is restricted to use it. Fiat will never disappear like what other thinks. Not all can afford and adapt to use cryptocurrencies as their main medium of money.

Fiat wouldn't be removed from the sytem of our economy, much more on gambling and in order to make that possible with online gambling to be dedicated with cryptocurrency, people should learn to use it. Makit it as primary as medium of spending, government should implement both fiat and crypto exchange to be more compatible.

Sure there will be a chance ,if all people older than ours learn how to use crypto or learn about crypto because other than us there are still people outside that plays using Fiats or monetary

---

What I’m assure of is 5-10 years from now what you’ve asked is what will happen because just like what you also said that transparency of cryptocurrency games is much better than traditional

Yeah but in the longer future I guess every single online gambling site will be using cryptocurrency already. I cannot see the future of fiat. It has to drastically change if it wants to still be of relevance to the age. Perhaps they will perfectly fit to a digital age if they will convert themselves into a digital currency, which is apparently what is happening now, albeit very gradual.

Although for now majority of the world is still using fiat so it is not a puzzle if online gambling sites will always cater to the fiat currency. They must have a huge body of gamblers who are using fiat.

For sure it will,where getting closer now to crypto connected gambling sites,in some gambling threads different games from all over the world are now starting to be acknowledged by gambling operators,the latest that I’ve read is a Cockfighting in which very popular to many countries from Asia to Europe or even in Africa and some part of America (though I think it’s illegal in USA)and of course impossible to Antarctica lol 😂

Generating gambling using all of cryptocurrency is more efficient than gambling in fiats

Can't be too sure about that dude. Even with the rise of online gambling, old school wagers are still pretty common. So there may come a time when crypto gambling is the most popular method, but it can't be the only one. Some people will still want to gamble either with properties, belongings and fiat. Gambling is a very big, diverse industry so you can'y have just one means for it.

Yes all the sites and the casino should accept both crypto and fiat as different areas has different development status but at the same time I would say now it is modern era where every country and city have internet access. People can enjoy online gambling now after few months using of crypto will be no issue systems are being so digital now.

The number of gambling sites that offers cryptocurrency based transactions are indeed increasing and nowadays, I see a lot of gambling sites are also making their own coin that can be used exclusively on their business. In time, I can see that all online gambling sites would have integrated crypto. But still, there is still a need in fiat in some ways. So that, users can decide what they prefer.

Fiat based gambling sites will still exist but we can't really say that crypto based gambling sites will not exist in the future because cryptocurrency is becoming popular nowadays and who know someone will create a gambling site that is cryptocurrency based. Also, not all people prefer using fiat in gambling sites because it is complicated unlike when you use crypto it is more secure.
People don't trust crypto because they don't understand how it works and they only believe what they hear or see and not really knowing the benefits of using cryptocurrency in gambling sites. All gambling platforms or even casinos are all the same regardless if you use cryptocurrency or fiat.

If fiat and cryptocurrency can be used together in gambling, I think that would be nice. People can choose whatever they want to bet, and if they don't want to lose fiat, then they can use crypto to playing gambling. That will give another experience to them since cryptocurrency is something new to them. And that will help the casino to gain more members to come to their places.

It's possible maybe 5 years from now, gambling operator will find out how good Cryptocurrency is and they will integrate it to their system and it will become advantageous to operator and gamblers, it will only happen if these gambling sites that are based in Cryptocurrency will succeed and so far it's succeeding so we'll see, it happening five years from now.

Well obviously gambling sites are being abused by this money launderers so that’s the reason why Governments are getting paranoid(or better say they are exaggerating things)
A individual can use the sites to transfer the amounts to crypto and withdraw as if he was using mixing company,so the abusing is indeed
If they can operate using VPN or being accessible then yeah 5 years is enough even government interfering yet they cannot stop the spreading of crypto gambling against fiat gambling online

I think you are right, considering how highly loved and famous cryptocurrency is at the moment, we won't be speculating wrongly if we say fiat would be totally eradicated in few years which I believe 5 years is even a long time for this to take place. Cryptocurrency gambling is quite safer and also gives more profit especially when there is a bull run.

Even the casino owners are now are that gamblers are more interested in playing with crypto than fiat, so definitely in few years the owner of fiat gambling site would find a way to convert it to crypto site or even create new gambling sites to meet up to the needs of players. They have to follow the trend if they wish to make profit.

Crypto is the best for gambling. No one willingly wants to do KYC to play gamble on the internet. So, if you choose fiat, you have to go through the KYC procedure. And honestly, every people love to stay anonymous on the internet, so, cryptocurrency is the real solution to make a gambler anonymous and safe. So, day by day all the gambling sites will be based on crypto, which will bring more volume on the crypto market!

The gambling industry is one of the biggest contributor to the success of crypto market.
I still remember when I was new here, there's no ICO and IEO yet, and most of the activities are from HYIP and gambling sites, I even invested in gambling sites bankroll in the past and during that time, bitcoin and altcoins is a bit stable as they don't stay long in bear market.

Only when ICO came into popularity then it makes this market a big pump and dump scheme, but who am I to complain, in the first place I already know that its risky to risk money here and its unpredictability has been a norms already.

Indeed anonymous is interesting for the online world and especially about gambling, but I'm not sure about all crypto-based online gambling sites because there are times for online gambling users to calculate fees for transactions such as deposits and withdrawals and some of gamblers have other views about it, they or fiat users say if online gambling crypto has a greater fee than fiat. With these different views, crypto cannot be used as a basis for online gambling.

As I believe also, crypto gambling sites growing which means that crypto accumulation keeps moving and people may consider this finally a currency to use not just to be an investment. We are glad to see it huge development and hope others could appreciate more. But for it possible that they are strict in complying KYC by then and could be the way to minimize scamming activities.

This is one reason why adoption of cryptocurrency around the world. There are many crypto gambling sites at this moment and I believe that it will increase year after year. There are many gamblers too who doesn't want to reveal themselves or their personal information so they prefer gambling online rather than going to casinos.

Crypto gambling sites will help the increase of adoption of cryptocurrencies.

For me, no. Even how far crypto have reach, there are still people who prefer fiat over crypto. Some may give it a try but pretty sure some site will maintain that only fiat is allowed to used. I don't see anything wrong about it and we can't force someone to like crypto simply because it's their own preference. What's posssible is lot of crypto based gambing site will be created as time pass by because of how convenient and profitable it is.

There is a reason why many casinos accept several different currencies and that is because they want to capture as many people as they can, so it will be a mistake for traditional casinos to accept only cryptocurrencies even if bitcoin became the dominant form of money in the future, as long as there is still fiat around you can be sure they will accept it since they are not going to want to limit themselves to cryptocurrencies and lose customers just because they do not accept fiat.

In time, all online casinos will integrate cryptocurrency in their business. Both fiat and crypto have their pros and cons so keeping both of them letting their customer decide will solve the problem. In my opinion, fiat and crypto can be used both by any industry depending on their customer and transaction with their suppliers.

Possible though I'm not counting on it. As long as fiat is still around, there will be gambling sites that would accept them. Sure if gambling with crypto becomes mainstream then even previously-fiat only sites would accept them but I don't thing we can completely push fiat out of this industry.

There will always be people who would be willing to sacrifice something for convenience.

Interesting point.  Big money coming in and out in a short time somehow destabilises the market. I guess preventing the big money from having too much influence on the market would help. I actually remember back in 2016/2017 the market moved predictably or rhythmically. I think the big movements (both up and down movements) of price were usually monthly thing then. Maybe I came during the good time.





  

Crypto-based gambling sites are still behind in the competition. Sites like Bet365 have over 35 million users whereas biggest of the  crypto-based gambling sites have at max like 1M users.
But the thing is crypto gambling is much more anonymous and non-traceable. These features surely attracting more and more people towards crypto gambling. The only condition when all online gambling sites start using cryptocurrency is when users demand for that. Consumer is the king! As far as users are ok with fiat gambling, I don't see any reason why sites like Bet365 will switch to crypto.

It is possible, if most of online transaction are regulated by cryptocurrency however, this will take time to happen though. The fact that anonymity gives more advantages and favorable to the users since their transaction cannot be tracked down so their identity is away from the sight of public. However, their users will be limited only to crypto users so I think it is still better if there will be some online gambling will accept fiat as a bet.

Gradually the numbers of crypto based gambling sites is increasing although they have not meet up to sites like Bet365 as you rightly said however as the numbers of cryptos users and enthusiast increased more gamblers will divert to crypto based sites based on it anonymity while the compulsory KYC for fiat based gambling sites is quite discouraging and shelving new gamblers switch over to crypto based ones.

Yeah, KYC on gambling site is tedious job especially when laws regarding gambling are stringent in your country. In my country, we can't claim deductions on gambling income and we have to pay flat hefty taxes on such income. But good thing with crypto gambling is that authorities will never know which income is from gambling and which from other sources which save lot of taxes for me.

This is in my opinion the most correct approach for a casino. The casino must accept any currency that its visitor may have. And cryptocurrency should not be an exception.

yes definitely cryptocurrency is the new best thing although many people are still a bit skeptical about using it, it does not stop the gambling sites from accepting cryptocurrency due to competition and how attractive the market has become

I don't think there's any kind of interference by the government that would stop crypto gambling from dominating the gambling world in the nearest 5 years. It's very visible that cryptocurrency is leading the market and most owner of gambling sites already know this and are now cooperating with it.

I can't even recall the last time I used fiat in gambling, not when there are a lot of intriguing casino site with amazing bonus offers that cannot be received and coupled with the fact that our identities are hidden. The advantages of crypto sites is far more than fiat and I am very convinced that fiat gambling would go into extinction sooner or later.

I am still trying to imagine how anyone would believe crypto gambling would ever be the only gambling site at any point in time. This has nothing to do with looking down on cryptocurrency but we have to be realistic. Cryptocurrency is loved but not accepted all over the world yet and it would be difficult to wipe out fiat system completely since it is also loved by many and well known.

I think we should just get it straight to our heads that fiat payment will be there for live because everyone cannot know everything about crypto, there. There are a lot of people that still have little knowledge of cryptocurrency and it would take many years or even a lifetime to educate them on this. Let's just say for now that it will be very difficult or rather it’s impossible to have only crypto as the only method of payment.

I do get that crypto gambling was one of the first use cases for Bitcoin,,, and I also agree that adoption in gambling is getting better now that people understand such things as low house edge and crypto gambling being provably fair! But on the other hand, we are getting much more use for crypto other than just depositing and using balances within casinos.

I think the crypto adoption rate due to gambling cannot go up much any more now.

until now there are quite a lot of gambling sites that can use both of these exchange tools. sometimes users also have the convenience of using crypto and fiat, some people don't really like using crypto, and some like it.

although crypto is very suitable for use on gambling sites, and there are quite a lot of crypto-based gambling sites, there is always a choice to use fiat. well, the site owner might want to attract users who use crypto and fiat.

True, but the time will come when people will appreciate a lot more the characteristics of cryptocurrencies, now most people do not understand why it is a good idea to have a currency that governments cannot print at will since they see the economy still working, but there are indications that show that the economies of the world could face huge problems during the next decades, and if they do, you will see many people pushing for the adoption of cryptocurrencies not only in casinos but in all kind of businesses.

That's the advantage of crypto, you don't have to do complicated conditions to deposit and play games. just deposit using crypto and you can play right away. That is proven by some games that have adopted crypto. Fiat will be increasingly steadfast in their use, even though they have a digital version but there are some requirements that players must fill before deposit and playing, and that is not to do that if you use crypto for playing game. I'm sure many games developers will adopt crypto.

Gambling sites may start accepting Bitcoin or they may add Bitcoin as an option to fund their account but Bitcoin only or exclusive, I don't think that will happen because there are still a majority of online gamblers who wants to keep it simple, fund their accounts using fiat or credit card.

for most people certainly prefer gambling sites that can keep the identity of the gamblers themselves, I am sure the anonymity of existing gambling sites will be increasingly popular among the people. not only that, many people feel comfortable to gamble without having to spend money directly, therefore cryptocurrency based gambling sites will be increasingly popular and preferred by many people in the future, but not all online gambling sites can accept cryptocurrency as a media tool for betting because traditional gambling must be maintained for most countries which formalize their existence

The process involved with depositing of funds to the gambling websites wallet in terms of cryptocurrency is very simple compared to the process involved in funding the account through fiat payments. From my view more than 90% gamblers after using cryptocurrencies into gambling hasn't used fiat for funding the accounts. This will surely continue long and this could make gambling sites were only cryptocurrency based.

I wont also support KYC in gambling. why the need for gamblers information when his fund is with you. The nature of the game should not allow exchanging some personal information. If I accept to give out my information other gamblers may not allow it and this could deprive the space a large number of  turn out of gamblers.

There was a pretty lengthy debate on this over at https://www.bigtimegamingfreeplay.com and the guys there thought with all the regulation that's coming into force it will only be a matter of time before all casinos are crypto.

I guess not all gambling sites will make their's to be crypto-based.
There might be a lot of them that will consider it and might even do it, but not all gamblers are using cryptocurrencie, so there will still that will remain to be fiat based.
Ofcourse even we are at the time when cryptocurrencies are rising, still, there are people who prefers to use fiats.

I actually have some friends that do not want to open theirselves up on these cryptos. And we should respect those people.

I agree. We expected a lot of online gambling crypto based sites in the future where future holders will try to gambling their coins in the sites. We must know the fact that the cryptocurrency adoption has risen in 2019 and most of these users are come from gambling industry. The dimensions of blockchain technology with gambling and the decentralized transaction make people want more about this industry. There are several countries that allow the crypto gambling industry likes UK and Italy. The famous Las Vegas also accepting crypto and in the future we’ll see a lot of gambling industry will follow. It takes a lot of time before all online gambling sites will crypto based but we should face the fact that some people don’t want to adopt these kind of transaction.

Well maybe for now they doesn't disclose this option since they don't know how this crypto things works for them so maybe make them realize how good crypto is interms of transaction and profitability, maybe they will consider it in the long run. Remember bitcoin spreading like wildfire so provably in future the information regarding on this will come unto them.

Possibly yes if Satoshi's vision move true, but still its not near to us because the main stream adoption of cryptos towards payment doesn't take place but its most often used in online payments and gambling sectors.We just stepped on the first step of this stair or ladder towards complete decentralized payment economy its still long way to go like regulations from governments, accepted by merchants,etc.

It might and might not come . It depends on the company itself if they are willing to opt for cryptocurrencies.

Pros:

1. Privacy
2. More diversity
3. Transparent network
4. Transactions stay in the network for eternity, can be verified anytime by anyone.

Cons:

1. People generally will have to pay fee while sending cryptocurrencies
2. Not that recognized and established by the government
3. Possible scams

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crypto gambling is a emerging industry which is as old as nearly cryptocurrencies themselves , the casinos and faucets have been there since long therefore I do think if we consider the situation after 10 more years we will be able to see some more innovations . I am already baffled by the scope and the amount of diversity in the gambling section related to Cryptocurrencies.

I am not sure that all online gambling sites will be cryptocurrency based, because the popularity of cryptocurrency still cannot defeat fiat.
There are even many people who are anti-crypto, don't want to use cryptocurrency. And we cannot force these people to use crypto. So
I think there will always be fiat based online gambling sites, if in the future crypto-based online gambling sites will be more numerous
versus fiat based is still possible.

The mass adoption of cryptocurrency has increased in the year 2019.  Most gambling sites nowadays are now crypto-based because it is the best way to play gambling and make an online transaction in a fast and secure way instead of using credit or debit cards. Just like you have said, a lot of countries that allow cryptocurrency gambling like the UK and Italy, so there is a chance that more countries would follow them and make their crypto gambling site.

Those fiat based casino might add features sooner to attract some crypto users, but it will take time depending on how they can manage the change they will about to do. There are some crypto based casino now that allows debit or credit card that allows to deposit fiat money like in sportsbet now. Sooner or later fiat based gambling sites may accept cryptocurrency too due to the demand it can benefit them.

There would be surely some integration that we would able to see in future and it will all depend on the demand.Crypto casinos can adapt optional fiat deposits and Fiat casinos can adapt crypto payments.

It isnt really that much require too much effort but there are main factors on where they  should think  off when they are tending to dive in neither decentralized or centralized stuff yet we know the differences

among the two thats why its hard to think on collaborating two things at the same time but well it all depends into their choice if they consider such add up.

Maybe majority of online gambling sites will accepting or based in Cryptocurrency but there  will still people who will likely play using fiat or credit card, these are people who do not like and do not understand how Cryptocurrency works, we still have many kind of gamblers like this maybe in the future it will be 80% of the online gambling sites are based in Cryptocurrency.

If the fiat-based casino is aware of the presence of cryptocurrency, the owner will find out what cryptocurrency is before they add the crypto on the payment processor. Perhaps, if the owner can know what the crypto function, the owner will soon add new features, and they will notice to their members that they have a new payment processor. As long as the sound of cryptocurrency can spread in many places, soon, the fiat-based casino will use crypto too. If that happens, we will see the cryptocurrency explode, and there will be an increase in the gambling industry.

I think it depends on the regulation, I see a gambling site is like an exchange. A few years a go when bitcoin or crypto currency as a whole is not regulated yet there is no exchanges that directly use bank account to deposit surely in certain countries. But now, when crypto currency has almost been regulated (most likely is included to commodity) many exchange has expand for their user to use bank account to deposit directly. So, when I see this case it will be same path with gambling site. They might a lot of gambling site that use crypto currency if the country allowed it. Even, if this happen most likely gambling conventional will take another opportunities to use crypto currency as a tool for payment.

Player like you will be one of the reasons why most online casinos will still have fiat on their options. And I don't think they will go in crypto full blast anytime soon. For some players, playing fiat has advantages on them like they don't have to worry about volatility. But for some players who want anonymity, they will go for online casinos that don't require KYC. But online casinos with fiat will be here long time just like traditional physical casinos.

If the country will allow it then it's posible to happen, since sportsbet already doing it, but only in depositing in their account,there might be some option from fiat based to chose whether they will play using their crypto deposit without converting yet to fiat or the reciprocal. It will be a matter of putting some option before entering the specific game. But these collaboration will only be possible if their government or liscensed (if they have it) will permit them to do the collaboration.

Probably, fiat will still dominate the online gambling sites but in terms of cryptocurrency based gambling casinos, it will just become more popular and develop well compared before.

We all know that cryptocurrencies are becoming popular nowadays due to its benefits and importance in the market. Although, fiat is the currency that we are used to spend in gambling, cryptocurrency can also achieve that but it will not totally dominate the use of fiat in a certain gambling platform.

If people know how cryptocurrencies works and the importance of it in the market, probably, many people will engage in the use of it whenever they gamble.

That is what we should expect,

Even now, the number of developed gambling sites are still continue to increase. Even if the fiat base online gambling sites do exist, they cannot stop cryptocurrency-based gambling and it is possible that it becomes more popular than fiat-based in the future.

It could happen but it all depends on the developer and I am sure there would still be some player who would choose to deposit on Fiat if crypto currency isn't that convenient to them.
There are still some online gambling sites or apps that only use Fiat and they are still working well even though there are so many competitive crypto gambling sites so it would only matter to the developers and also the gamblers as well.

I think the reason why online gambling sites are transparent is because of the blockchain, especially if they are showing the hashes of the games for you to verify how the outcome is presented. But it doesn't mean that the reason is having crypto. There some possibilities that non-crypto gambling sites could also adopt blockchain technology without converting 100% to crypto.

But logically, if they will adopt blockchain which proves the efficiency of its usage to crypto, why not adopt crypto itself right? Perhaps, "There's a chance" but for me, the probability is still a "mixed" fiat and crypto for most online gambling sites available.

I doubt if crypto will replace fiat completely in any terms, even at gambling. People will always be comfortable using fiat from time to time, and to think of it, there are instances when we choose to use fiat over crypto even we can choose to pay in crypto because we value crypto more as an investment tool or a store of value.

No, it will not because some people who already use fiat casino will select that casino. They can feel the convenience to play in that casino, so they don't move to another place or try the other place. They can move to another site if their friend suggests them to try the other gambling site. Without any suggestions, they will not try by themselves.

There are many online gamblers who choose fiat money for online gambling. Again, there are many people who like online gambling but they do not know anything about crypto currency, they do not know how to use crypto. so, if all online gambling site are crypto currency based, then a lot of people won't play online gambling.  because of this, online sites will suffer financially.

Good point, the most possible thing that may happen in the future is that all fiat based casinos add crypto as one of the payment method only. The main currency will be still fiat and crypto is just an alternative on those fiat casinos. It is happening already in the past few years where some fiat based casinos started to accept bitcoin as payment method. There is almost zero chance to see all online gambling are cryptocurrency based imho.

You could really state the opposite, as FIAT currency standards become ever worse and loose with excess availability of cash then I think it makes more sense to take high risk with cash that is more rapidly loosing value.     Thats part of BTC in theory, you may gamble a crypto token which if you had done nothing might have gone from 10k to 5k like BTC did in March.    Most of the time Bitcoin is fairly stable but theres always the argument you lose what might have lost value anyway, FIAT will at some point in time goto zero.  Dust to dust and it is only paper and somebody in politics says its good for the value but promises of politics is not a sound basis for currency so its fair to say gambling in plain cash will increase alongside its instability rising which presently is predictable.

There is a possibility that all online gambling sites will be based on cryptocurrency in the future because day by day a lot of people in every country has recognized bitcoin and cryptocurrency, so cryptocurrency would increase its mass adoption that everyone will have their cryptocurrency and will be playing in an online crypto casino.

I think sooner or later most of the gambling and betting sites will start accepting bitcoin and crypto in general in one way or another.
Perhaps the biggest providers wouldn't want to carry much of the risk and would rather utilize a third party solution to simply give them a balance in FIAT after commission. Some of the bigger betting sites do this by using neteller from what I know. I could definitely see more sites doing it in the future.

The existing casino can acknowledge accepting Cryptocurrencies as payment in these new normal era where we don't want our bank accounts to be fill up in online gambling. In my country there is a popular bitcoin wallet that are partnered in many gaming platform to buy the in game points, some casinos can partnered with them if casino will like to do it via third party so there is no much change that they can adapt, but I would love to see in my country a crypto based where I can bet via crypto not that they will convert my crypto to fiat in order to play.

Currently, cryptocurrencies aren't evolved enough to become a decent medium of exchange and thus they are not ready to serve role of betting means. When I gamble using bitcoin, for example, it is not possible for me to understand how much at stake. In a few years from now, we may regret about our reckless gambling games when we would place such a big bets. That is why, fiat money remains perfect for gambling, have fun and gamble using fiat, store value with cryptocurrencies. In my opinion, that would be rational decision for those who want to mitigate risks. When cryptocurrencies prove their value and become less volatile and speculative, they will replace current fiat systems and fiat based casino will be crypto based.

As long as many new gambling sites launch and promote the site on many websites, there is a chance for people out there to visit online crypto gambling. It will grow faster if in many countries legalize the crypto, so people will not be afraid to use crypto, even just playing gambling. If that happens, the mass adoption will not take too long, and we will see the crypto will get more popular among the people. But before that is happening, I think we can still introduce crypto to many people, but we don't have to force them to use crypto and let them decide by themselves.

as crypto adoption advances the casino that doesn't get accept Bitcoin will eventually adopt crypto to have more players. they will see their users decline and has to also accept btc because it's going to become norm. 5-10 years from now crypto will also be part of the internet that has to be adopted since web will be full of block chain dapps.
