Bitcoin Forum

Hey gamblers,

Some of us have plenty of time to visit casinos, some have less spare time. Some of us have played for years, some are just starting out.
Nevertheless, how much time you have, gambling is still a perfect way to have a great time, right?

And here comes my question = how long have you been in the gambling world and where did you start - in crypto casino, in a fiat online casino or in a land based casino?

Share your journey ;)

Thanks,
Karl from Bitcasino

I've started my gambling journey few years back and it was on a crypto casino too, I still remember those times when bitcoin was hovering at $200-$400. I didn't have any noticeable wins back then but I enjoyed my time talking to the regulars on their chat and sometimes listen to their irl stories. Currently I don't have plans in trying out other casinos since crypto casinos is already enough for me and the covid situation is still bad in our place.

The first time i really started to gamble was straight after my 18th birthday. I went with some friends in a suit and tie to our local casino to play some blackjack and roulette. We lost it all  :D the next time I was gambling was poker during university. After watching so many casino scenes in movies I just wanted to see it for myself. During my math classes in school we did some probability theory with roulette and black jack. So I knew what I was getting into beforehand.

i started gambling on land but not in the formal casino .
 it was in the streets but after knowing crypto casino i quit playing gambling in land  .
im not sure if how long ive been gambling  .
it was on off -  on off because of different events of my life , school , job but the covid situation can gave me more time to spend inside the crypto casinos .

Considering the legislation in my country on gambling,  I started with fiat casino which was very popular back in 2010. I don't remeber the name now but they had to shut their ops along with the Liberty Reserve crackdown.

Then it comes to crypto casinos in recent times. I don't usually gamble with an aim to get rich. It's just some quality time that I look in crypto casinos and that's it. So I don't risk a lot of money either. Whenever I play in crypto casinos, I just make sure to follow one rule - never play with anything that you can't afford to loose.

I started as a guy that's just interested on the games but not interested enough to bet any money on it. The turning point perhaps was the dice game in freebitco.in when I'm still using faucets every day to get some satoshis here and there. That same year, I landed a job that pays decently, and so I have the chance to try out some few dice games on existing casinos that accepts bitcoin (it was on PrimeDice IIRC). Then I was handed a few wins, took $20 profit from the $30 I put in and I enjoyed my time. Since then, I regularly play some pocket change whenever I have the time and it has been with me for the next 6 years.

If I am not mistaken, I've been in the crypto gambling world more than 5 years ago when I still playing faucet in freebitco.in. I was trying to use multiply to increase my satoshi, but I do not have much luck to win many satoshis. I played on some reputable crypto gambling site and I enjoyed playing many games. But I never play on the fiat online casino or in the offline casino because I do not want other people to see I come into the casino and play the gambling game ;D

Playing a gambling game on the crypto gambling site can make me stay anonymous because I do not have to show my identity to play gambling. I can use many coins for playing gambling without using my fiat money to use for my daily needs.

Hey Karl, what's up?
 
To answer your question, I started to gamble way back when I'm still in High school playing against my classmate, doing some local type of
gamble, playing some hours when we do have some free time, most when it's break time and sometimes when the prof is not around.

Not sure if how long it is, but long enough and I enjoy each stay Karl!

Keep safe!

I didn't know how long or how short I started gambling but i'm sure that I didn't gamble the money I have that I can't afford to lose. Some people even gamble the money they have even if they know that it's risky to gamble their money when know that they shouldn't have do it. As far as I'm concern, I didn't spend most of my time gambling so I only gambled for a short time to avoid losing more money and won't get tempted to gamble.

I can't remember when did I start gambling but on my first journey of becoming a gambler, I am conservative on the amount of money I have using just to play my favorite gambling game before. I've become an addict for some years and for me this is the most difficult part of my journey on gambling, I can't do things right because of addiction. After realizing things, I did try to slow down myself from playing and guess it, Today I can see myself as a free man from gambling addiction. Crypto gambling really helps me to get myself free from this addiction and to control my urge to play. Today I don't gamble much anymore, If I play on certain gambling sites, I am capping up my deposit from it so that If I lose I won't deposit anymore.

I started at "multiply btc" of freebitco.in, I think many started there. and I left for other sites (very few reliables at the time) and I lost a lot of satoshis but I had a lot of fun in games of pure luck.
Today I focus more on sports games where knowledge has much more relevance than luck to make me win ... but even so I keep losing, but still having fun.

In my country gambling is prohibited, so gambling sites that accept cryptos are my lifeline.

Few years back I started to gamble. The early day focus was towards sports betting. Those are days when bitcoin was not more than $1500. By that time I won more than 2BTC, and I wasn't able to keep it up. On consecutive matches I lost it. Myself went serious with gambling when I lost my savings kept for buying a gift for my girl. From then I'm chasing the loses and hasn't turned successful.

I got exposed to casino on this forum and also got to know that bitcoin can be staked in most gambling sites. This forum has exposed me to lots of knowledge. For now am stilling understanding what online gambling entails and how casino works. I think it would also a fun way of easing away stress and having some fun time online

When it comes to gambling then it do basically involves money right? This might not really be talking about fiat online casinos or land based but this do talks about some old things
that get involved into like computer games where you do make out bets on whose gonna win.So that was in my high school days and thats the time with my first bet
or using up money.

In the question on when and where did i start to gamble on places you mentioned then the first experience is on online one, playing up dice when i do first started on this
crypto world where gambling casinos had opened up their doors for me to play without needing some cc or debits which is really a big convenience.

I dont have experience on playing on a physical one since going into these places are way too expensive or cant really be afford by me.

I actually don't remember what year i started gambling but it was in crypto casino's wherein gambling site that i don't even have an idea if it's really legit because i just saw it in some sort of advert around the Internet and that time after losing a little cash, i have decided to leave. So i don't know if it still existing.. :D Actually at first it was very hard for me to understand since i dont have any experience even in real matters. But good to know that there are some gambler that always sharing their experiences and strategies when it comes playing in different online casino games .now i can manage it on my own whenever i want to gamble. But the problem is i don't have any cash to play . Lol

Great one Karl!

As far as I remember, I started gambling as a teenager (17 or 18) with my friends, which is over a decade ago. We would all give the same amount of cash like 10 EUR and the pot would be 50-60 EUR, depending on how many players. We played Texas Hold'em with chips until only one player stayed in the game. That player was the winner and would win the entire pot. Traditionally, that person would then use the pot to buy drinks for everyone  ;D ;D ;D

As for other types, I've also played slots in land-based venues and started online gambling in fiat casinos. I remember the times when 888, 32red, and William Hill were the best of the best. They're still cool but there are much more options these days.

Ahh, this made me nostalgic a bit. I miss those times.  ::)

I wasnt able to play on a physical casino because its not available here on my place or simply it is way too far off into the place where i do live.
The first experience when i do play gambling when i was still 16 years old where some of my friends do recommend a certain game for me to
gamble and that was a slot game and my interest poke out towards gambling and had some those noobie addictions on that time but i didnt
really get into the point where i did mess out my life because of that.I was still aware on how things goes if i did it that much.

I started with a 10000 Italian Lira betslip on Serie A (5 games, lost bet 3out of 5, crazy I still remember it). That is my favorite thing, I do like to bet on things where I can have a kind of control, meaning I know the teams, I follow how the players are and then I place a bet based on my understanding, with an eye on the odds.
I am not at all an online gambler kind.

I started not long ago at an online crypto casino. If I recall right, there was a competition on this forum during which I was fortunate enough to win a bonus. Since then, I've continued playing for pure entertainment.

Unfortunately, I never won a significant sum but I'm not a big gambler so I haven't lost too much.

Started in land-based neighborhood gambling IIRC. Where most of the people in my old neighborhood gamble as their pastime and as a kid, I'm just watching them play different games with cards and that's what I think where it all started when I've become curious to play.

I'm not sure how old I was or it was the first time I've started to gamble since I'm quite old already. But that's one that I can recall with my memory right now. Until I've learned about online casinos and crypto casinos a few years back.

I started up the same too where i do usually go to my neighborhood and able to witness these kind of gambling activities where these grown up been doing until it comes to a time
where i do get curios and get interested as well to play up such games but only on minimal manner because as a kid then you most likely doesnt have money to spend
so thats only good for some try ups and for the sake of exploring.I havent made myself to be a gambler when i got big or already have on the right mind
but rather it do give me out some realization that gambling too much which really make you broke if you dont have the right control.

My journey started at primedice where i first and learned about bitcoin thank god
So far this year nothing but bad luck but now i think it will change starting this month. Not a single big win so expecting now to hit something huge for real i think its time
