I was wondering today that if there are casino that started accepting crypto as payment and if someone wants to payback in crypto, are there any casinos available.
According to me I have not heard anything yet but in future this might happen cause when crypto adoption will come than we might see these Casino bosses to accept crypto and other alts.
What are your thoughts on this?

I am guessing you are talking about physical casinos where you walk in, because there are ton of live dealers in the internet accepting crypto. However i don't see much significant advance of not having fiat money in the middle of it as it's liquid like no other form of payment.
And you are gambling with casino tokens anyway, it's not like you would be gambling directly with crypto on physical casino.

And you can cash in your casino tokens and buy crypto or sell your crypto, and buy those casino tokens with your fiat money. It's not the same, but if physical casino accepted crypto payments they would most likely sell your deposit instantly and convert it to physcal tokens that represent fiat money and that you could cash out in fiat money.

From the view point of casino just the taxation issues of it all would be nightmare addon of extra work. And just to deal with old timers and explain the liability issues / risks of having their own wallets and what crypto should they choose or not to choose if they don't want to lose everything would be a hard job.

In the internet it works with crypto natives, so maybe it will come to casinos some day when people are demanding it and experienced enough.

In the future when cryptocurrency finally becomes adopted for use, Live Casino's may still just as people exchange cash for casino chips to gamble with, choose to start accepting bitcoins and other altcoins in exchange for casino chips, and after gambling, say you win, the option of converting your chips back to cash for you or it sent directly to your cryptocurrency wallet will be available in the payment option.

You never can tell until you visit a live casino and find out from them if they accept crypto currency payment.
I personally believe that 1 out of 10 live casinos will be willing or will accept crypto payment if they get a good offer on the table.

And on the question whether there be any live casino around the world that is already accepting crypto payment at this moment, the answer is yes, there are many of them though I don't have a name right now, but I can remember a user of this forum complaining one time here about loosing $2000 in bitcoin to a live casino and planning on going back the next day for a revenge gamble.
So indeed, there are live casino already accepting crypto payment and also settling winnings in crypto upon request.

That is a lot of work behind this for physical casinos to accept crypto,sure they need a technical team to keep up with their wallet,of course some such casinos have the possibility financially to implement it and the only ones who can make it so are the big ones like Regency,Caesars,the well known big physical ones.

I doubt we will see this implemented in the future though,who in their right mind would go and play with crypto in a place full of people and risking his privacy when he can very well do so by playing online,having more options like more slot machines to choose from so I don't see it implemented anytime soon as I see no real interest in such implementation.

Physical casinos are still not accepting cryptocurrency as mode of their payment but maybe they are already working with this one, and maybe some are already working for the license to operate and accept cryptocurrency since the adoption is slowly growing and we really need to adopt this change. In time, we might see most of the casinos to have this for now just gamble online with your cryptos.

I'm not sure, but there are chances of cryptocurrency acceptance from live Casinos. In most of the Casinos the amount will be paid and recieved in the format of chips. The chips carry the value, based on what we've paid we'll get the number of chips.

IGT working towards creating a machine that accepts bitcoin payments in land-based casinos, it is safe to say that bitcoin will soon be accepted in brick-and-mortar casinos, Source: Web (https://www.google.com/amp/s/bestbitcoincasino.net/are-land-based-casinos-accepting-bitcoin/amp/)

There are already and since they are physical casinos there's little information on the internet, you have to trade Cryptocurrency for chips to be able to bet, I just don't know if many are paying Cryptocurrency because Cryptocurrency is highly volatile so its a case to case basis for every casino, it is accepted in a country where Cryptocurrency is a very popular and accepted form of payment in the future where major industries in the world adopt Cryptocurrency, majority of live casinos all over the world will accept as a form of payment.

Since I've known casino game and the cryptocurrency casino gambling platform have not seen a centre at casino game offline accept internet playing of casino even in the country I do I haven't experienced such or in campus center of casino manually or physical where we participate in casino is internet aspect of it not offline

if you ask about physical or land casinos I haven't really seen it where I am but I think they prefer fiat money over crypto it doesn't mean they don't like crypto but maybe they have to cash the crypto into fiat money so it can be used again for other gamblers who want to cash out their fiat money from gambling wins, but maybe in the future it will be adopted as well

So far there is no Brick and Mortar casino that accept Bitcoin.  The only slot provider that has a plan and secured a patent of implementing Bitcoin payment in a Brick and Mortar is IGT as stated in the earlier reply.  Thought there are Bitcoin ATM in Las Vegas[1] that is ready to convert your Bitcoin to Cash if ever you forget to bring a good amount of cash to gamble.  But their exchange rate fee is quite high.

so far, no casino yet is on the path of paying winnings via crypto. yes, they are accepting crypto as payment but they are converting it to chips so you can play the game. in this manner, you are not directly using btc or crypto to play the game. also, ive read that some casinos also have btc ATM outside their jurisdiction. it means, you need to convert your btc first to fiat before you can use inside the casino. maybe in time, some of these casinos will have a bold move of accepting directly crypto from the users. as we are going digital, and crypto is becoming popular, for sure these casinos are considering such payment option. they just need to check also the government protocols when it comes to this currency.

I don't think there's anything difficult about Live Casino accepting cryptocurrency payments. After all, they give out tokens in return or credit the machine's account. So I'm sure the casino will accept cryptocurrency payments in jurisdictions where cryptocurrency is not banned. But it seems to me that such payments are more suitable for online casinos. In real casinos it is easier to use fiat.

They might do that but only for stablecoins for initial runs.
Imagine you playing live casino using Bitcoin or Ethereum and then a dump suddenly happened. What would you feel? Like having bad luck in the casino itself and then more bad luck because of the market volatility.
Businesses don't want to use cryptocurrencies as an option for payment mainly because of that. They'd just stick with fiat and let it run for as long as it can until the market stabilizes and that's when they will inject cryptocurrencies.

I hope to so that soon in my region. It is very hard nowadays to see a crypto live casinos that attempt Bitcoin because of the strict rules the government has that many be supportive to local currency. What I know is online casinos that supports the use of Crypto for deposit and withdrawals. This one is very common to us.

AFAIK there currently isn't one just yet. Most are still sticking to their preference "cash is king" and would really not let go of that preference no matter what. They already have built their networks and user base that are willing and ready to use cash any time and choose the platform's service no matter the circumstances. Also, for them it's easier to hold cash and use it to pay for their winners than switching back and forth from 1 currency to another just to satisfy what the gambler wants. At least, what they have right now is pretty straightforward.

Not sure about this but I think, none as of the moment.

The possibility and chances of these physical casinos adopting or integrating crypto on one of their payment methods in the future are not even close to impossible but don't expect it to happen right away. There are lots of convenient payment methods out there that's why maybe, you might not see crypto-payment in those gambling establishments for now.

Anyhow, gamblers really don't care if crypto payments aren't available yet in physical casinos. That's not even a mass-demand request.

Of course, there are, we are in Cryptocurrency adoption and the majority of industries and countries are already accepting it, although this kind of casino is heavily regulated they are open to maximizing and expansion of their business and one of them is accepting Cryptocurrency here in our country there are traders who will trade your Cryptocurrency to chips that you can use to bet I have read one article about people gambling their profit from Cryptocurrency in live casinos, casinos already welcome Cryptocurrency directly or indirectly.

The possibilities of a live casino accepting Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies would be largely determined by the country's laws. Bitcoin friendly countries has the higher tendency of accepting Bitcoin than countries that restricts cryptocurrency transactions. Countries like Central African Republic and El Salvador might have casinos offering such services because Bitcoin is a legal tender there and they would receive all the support and assistance from government officials. In my location, Bitcoin usage is still very low due to unfavorable government policies, hence I have never come across any casino that accepts crypto currencies or pay for wins using Bitcoin or others.  

Frankly, I don't really have any reason why a physical casino would need to include cryptocurrency on their platform as a mode of payment, especially that when you go into a casino that you'll need to trade your money for tokens or chips to play on most of the games such as card games. Also, anyone can just withdraw or trade their crypto to fiat so that they can use it in these establishments.

Anyways, it's likely that we can see crypto payments for these chips and tokens on casinos soon with how great online crypto casinos are going great right now such as Stake.

Maybe none as of this moment since it wasn't necessary after all to accept crypto payments.

Many people will still choose the much-improved fiat digital payment to be used while in the gambling place. Much fast, quick, and just almost a 1-tap.

Crypto is also considered mostly as an investment. Adoption will take place but still it will not change as how them majority treats bitcoin out of its purpose.

There are lots of cryptocurrency casinos on the internet, but not many casinos that accept cryptocurrency in the real world. There are a few exceptions, though.

The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel is one of them and I think it was also the first in Las Vegas to accept bitcoins as a payment method. It's a hotel and casino located in downtown Las Vegas.

I will ask saying concerning casino how was it that it is very difficult before you can see casino games offline especially the centre, which which can accept Bitcoin all support Bitcoin, I will agree with you that all this kind of casino centers prefer Fiat currency than cryptocurrency because it's in the range of their demands. Why does ones who is online to accept crypto payment or cryptocurrency deposit so that is the different between the offline and online, I think I will agree with you in your statement

in my country, the average casino offline players don't have a piece of good knowledge of bitcoin and crypto, so i doubt the success of crypto-based offline casinos here, but there is one thing that i see is getting better is more and more online casino players are popping up and they are talking about crypto casinos there.  as time goes by, new, fresher, and advanced thinking will continue to emerge and in the next few decades, i predict my country will be filled with offline crypto casinos ^{(i pretty sure it's only a matter of time)}

I can't remember a physical casino that already accepts and support crypto-payment on their respective casino but out of thousands of physical casinos out there globally, maybe there is even 1 in some popular gambling places like Vegas, Macau, or those gambling place that are on their level.

Maybe a quick search on your favorite search engine will help you.

What's this for by the way? Why do you want to know if there's a physical casino accepting crypto payments?

Want to see if global adoption in crypto now taking place at a much higher level?

We may need more time to see if that will happen soon because physical casinos still use fiat for people who want to gamble.
But it could also depend on the adoption process in one place and how accepted crypto is.
If crypto is well accepted and many local shops use crypto, the casino may also use crypto.
For the time being, we only use crypto to gamble in online casinos because many of us are gambling in these online casinos.

I don't think there are, and even if there were, I suppose they are rather abysmal in numbers. Crypto casinos are mainly focused online since crypto is a digital method/form of payment so they focus on that, and most of them have built their reputation online and not offline, so I don't think they'd bother making brick-and-mortar casinos in the future. As for current brick-and-mortar casinos accepting crypto, if countries don't legally accept it I don't think they could pass that as an option, and even if the country did, seeing as crypto adoption is on the low side, I don't think they'd bother adding it for now.

There was a pretty old article that stated some casinos accepting Bitcoin as payment
I don't know if they still are, but they're part of the rare ones imo.

So far? there are nothing that I hear or seen about Live/Physical casino that accepts Bitcoin as Payment and deposit because I believe that there are lots of work to be done if they will operate physically but accept Online funds like crypto that we knew not that secure if being presented in present form.

As far as I know, physical casinos aren't accepting crypto payment just yet because of the process it will take them to establish such. I guess it isn't the priority yet of the casino owners since most casino players and goers are still comfortable with paying with actual cash or thru their debit or credit cards. But if you are referring to online casinos, there are already numerous sites that accept crypto as payment method. You can search here in the forum to check for it. I know there's a thread already about it.

Casino adopting crypto as payment method isn't impossible. It's most likely to happen in the future especially due to the reason that blockchain is becoming more widely used and crypto as payment method offers a convenience for those people who have coins stored in their wallet they can easily access anytime and anywhere.

I haven't heard of any physical casinos that accept crypto as a means of payment because usually physical casinos accept fiat as payment or stakes. This may be due to regulations from the local government that has not allowed the use of crypto in many places of business so the casinos have not started either. But if the regulations legalize crypto to be used as a means of payment and people can use it freely, casinos may try to introduce it to the public. Maybe some countries have allowed crypto as a payment method in addition to fiat, but casinos have not used it. It looks like it's waiting for more adoption of cryptocurrencies that could attract attention from governments or others.or

but we cannot tell , maybe  in the future or sooner mate that there will be casino to operate with crypto acceptance , though the only issue here is the government interference yet it will be possible in time.

also there are lot of bitcoin atm in casino houses , but still they are not accepting this to be money to use in betting .

Cryptocurrency is very popular here in our country but our government-run casinos do not yet accept Cryptocurrency for deposit and payout, checking other member posts I only see one, and its located in Las Vegas the gambling capital of the world, there's no need for the casinos to accept Cryptocurrency they can just install a Bitcoin  ATM, and besides they do not want the hassle of volatility they want cold cash for easy transaction and of course taxation and accounting.

When I saw the thread title, I was hoping to find out that some physical casino in the world accepts Bitcoin, but I see from the responses that it does not. I heard about Las Vegas, but I see that what they have are ATMs for you to change to cash. In that case it is logical, I understand, for for legal prudence and accounting simplicity.

But what about casinos in El Salvador? It is legal to tender there, so they must accept bitcoin. Does anyone know anything?

i never went to live casino because in my country it is strictly forbidden any gambling so there is no such casino but online casino anyway i prefer to use my phone to play casino BTW maybe in a country where gambling is legal i think they accept bitcoin payment but no way for other cryptos, but I think they will also cash out into fiat currency because basically they prefer fiat money over bitcoin, but it might be available for gamblers who don't carry cash to be able to use bitcoin in their wallet to gamble in casinos as a convenience measure  ;)

I'm not getting this your topic very straight but if you're referring the live casino to be online then I wish to inform you that, there are hundreds if not thousands of crypto casinos available and already in existence and they also accept a whole lot of cryptos.
But I guess you were referring to the physical casinos and yes I haven't also seen one physical casino that accept that accepts crypto and this to me is so because of the dominance of fiat and poor acceptance of crypto in most countries and some of this withdrawal and deposit might require some extra charges and in my country, people wouldn't want to risk a dime on charges rather than using it to gamble more.

I guess the same way maybe he is talking about the physical and the traditional casinos, if he is talking about these casinos, as far as i know, they won't accept any bitcoin or cryptocurrencies for their business unless you exchange to fiat or they have done the paper works with their governments to do that, however, you can maybe find some illegal and unrated casinos where you can use the cryptocurrencies as a payment method, but regardless of what we see right now, I guess we can see even physical casinos doing this in the future.

If that is the future, casinos could also accept payments from crypto for betting, especially if the adoption process improves so that people will see crypto's potential benefits. But as long as the government's interference is too strict and they don't immediately give permission to use crypto for various things, we may still have to wait a while. And in the meantime, we better enjoy gambling in crypto casinos and not use fiat to gamble if we don't want to have a bad experience or something.

Land-based? More likely this exist on countries wherein both gambling industry and cryptocurrency are allowed by the government. So don't expect such thing to exist on countries wherein support to both industries are missing. If you are really into gambling and cryptocurrency, online platforms would be best.This is possible IF land based gambling industry would choose to adopt this technology as their mode of payment. I do go on land based casinos before and most of the people there (on my country) are not even aware of what cryptocurrency is. I do not blame them from doing so because cryptocurrencies has just began to emerge over countries. Also, I accept the idea that not all people are into too risky investment especially those industries trying to seek for stability on their profit. Given that more accessible estanlishments and businesses as majority, are not yet into this technology, it is not surprising that 'exclusive' industry such as in gambling, would be able to recognize cryptocurrencies in an instant.

It's a good thing that you are thinking along this line, as of now, I don't think there is any physical casino that accept or pay out in cryptocurrency. But, it will be a wonderful and interesting to see a cryptocurrency based casino, but I don't see it happening anytime soon though.

There are already some casinos that accept cryptocurrency and pay using it in countries areas where cryptocurrency is being adopted. I haven't heard of any local casinos that accept cryptocurrency in our area but will be more interested if they will consider it in the future. I believe that we aren't far from that since the government is planning to have our country as the blockchain capital of Asia. I hope that physical casinos will see the importance of cryptocurrency and will also adopt it in the coming years.

Most crypto betting sites that pay in the unit you deposited too. Seems the most logical to me. I think most gambling sites have a large supply of bitcoins, other cryptocurrencies that are less popular will only have a part of them available. Otherwise, as a gambling site you could possibly also have problems that users try to launder money and that kind of practice is of course not allowed. Perhaps different sites have a different view on this and approach it.

I don't think there's a live casino right now that offers cryptocurrency bets, if they do there'd be an upsurge of cryptogamblers that will come flocking to them all for support and well, convenience. However, it's not too ambitious to think that they are considering accepting cryptocurrency payments and bets, especially now that the number of cryptocurrency users increase every year. Just give it time and maybe urge a couple of these live casinos to do so and it may happen within our lifetimes. Although there'd be an issue with the exchange system given the fact that they are using fiat for every single activity within their systems. Then again this could be solved in the foreseeable future, crypto is a very versatile and solution-based currency, it can happen.

Crypto adoption in land-based casinos still needs more time because casino operators are not yet ready to implement crypto in their establishments. For now, crypto has not been universally accepted in all businesses, and only a few businesses are willing to accept it. But in the future, crypto will definitely be accepted when the adoption process is even better than it is now. So we still only use online casinos to play crypto gambling and don't need to wait for crypto to be implemented in land-based casinos because that can apply in the future.

Used a combination of keywords to see if Google can come out with at least one but there is none I guess Cryptocurrency is not fully adopted by casino operators because they are heavily regulated and they are strictly compliance with the laws and of course accounting is very hard because of changing of the price, especially in the bear market, Cryptocurrency is very suited for online transactions especially for casinos but for physical casinos there's a little complication.
