Is it possible to run a decentralized gambling platform? I know that all popular gambling platforms have no choice but to be transparent to the law to have a steady business running, but with the introduction of CBDC and yes a registered gambling platform has no choice but to accept CBDC too, and I don't trust this centralized currency, I believe CBDC will have the capability to monitor incoming and outgoing funds, so that is what makes me think if it's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform at all.

When bitcoin was first created, there were decentralized gambling sites, but all we noticed has been that decentralized gambling sites are shrinking while centralized gambling sites are increasing and expanding.

Gambling sites have choice to accept a coin or not accept it, although CBDCs are not coins, they are fiat.

This are crypto gambling sites, you can decide to deposit and withdraw in coins of your choice that a crypto gambling site supports.

It's definitely possible to create a decentralized gambling platform. The technology exists to make it happen, but the real question is whether it's feasible to do so in a way that's sustainable in the long term. I think the biggest challenge with a decentralized gambling platform is gaining the trust of users. People are naturally skeptical of online gambling, and with a decentralized platform, there's no central authority or regulators that users can turn to if something goes wrong. Trust is key when it comes to gambling, and it's hard to build trust in a decentralized platform.


If and when a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is established and declared as legal tender in a specific jurisdiction, online casinos will be obligated to accept it as a form of payment due to regulations imposed by law and governing bodies.

You should ask yourself one question. If you were an owner of a gambling business, would you want to create a decentralized gambling platform?
What would be the cost? Will it bring higher profits? I think that a decentralized gambling platform would be less profitable than a centralized online casino, that's why decentralized gambling isn't popular. The online casino owners simply don't want to bother with decentralization. They are pretty much OK with running centralized platforms.
Can a gambling business run unregulated? Or course it can, but it will have way less customers and sooner or later the authorities are doing to find out and penalize that business.
I don't know about the CBDC's future impact over the gambling industry. Let's wait and see what happens after CBDCs get implemented.

I think that the people who open the casinos are looking only for profit as the first thing most people that get a degree in Business Administration and Economics learn that the first objective of any private company is to maximize the profit.Since most people feel more comfortable when playing in a regulated casino that is the reason why we see more of such casinos than decentralized ones.I think the best example of a decentralized casino/sport betting site was directbet.eu as there you just placed a bet anonymously and just putted your wallet address to get the winnings in case you win your sports bet and that was all,no KYC no nothing and I doubt they were government aware which was the ultimate thing that led to its closure.

Yes, it's possible.
You know that the government will just intervene when the company is quite big already. They'll do all the means to track the owners down and make the business at risk by applying such laws that haven't been seen by the developers.
If the law states that they can't do it then that's questionable because they didn't enforce it when it was just launched. But it's because the company was too small to be considered and apply the law on them. That's mostly the status of many startups and even new casinos, it's like a test and dry run for them. If it's a success, they'll be recognized and too big not to be noticed.

No e-gaming license is the key for a casino to run in a real decentralized manner. The problem is user doesn’t trust casino without a license and at the same time doesn’t want to submit KYC and create an infinite loop.

Decentralized gambling platform exist especially on the blockchain that use smart contract in every bet result. These casino doesn’t regulated by the government. It just this type of casino offers a limited games which is not appealing that result for being unpopular to the players. They are existing but no one just noticing it.

Very possible, as long as you're going to maintain being decentralized indeed and in all your dealings, we have casinos that were decentralized and don't require for KYC information, but the fear possible have with any is not to scam or took away their funds anytime, which means you have to create a means whereby gamblers will trust you.


Not all gambling platforms were registered under government, if they registered them they were no more decentralized because they will be subjected to government regulations, you also being a gambler under such casino is not decentralized because they can track you down through the KYC information you must have presented during the course of registration or later after, you can't also expect them to accept CBDC among the foinw their casino support because the gamblers want crypto and not CBDC.

In order to run casino, you need a lot of money, team of talented web developers, IT professionals, Project Managers, Marketers, Promoters, etc. You need to hire a very big office, you can't do it online via two guys. So, this business requires so much capital, mankind, office and many more, you can't just hide it from the government. They will ask you how do you have that much capital and they'll have an eye on where your money goes, your employees won't like an idea to work underground, especially when you hire people who should be educated in modern finances, technologies, marketing strategies.

You can't just do it, it's not a bitcoin mixer, it's a very huge business and you have serious competitors who do things legally and won't forgive or let you to stay illegally in their competition.

It's possible, but the question is how long it will stay.
Another one is that, it will depend on how small or huge a casino is. There are some small-scale casinos out there who are operating, but isn't sustainable. On the other hand, there are large casinos out there, and for sure, government will know it because over time, it will become more popular hence, government will notice it.

I don't know if it's just me being dumb or I really don't know, but who will create a decentralized casino right now? What if something goes wrong with the casino? Who will the user contact to? What if the user won a huge amount of money, but turns out it is a bug coming from the system? Who will they approach with that problem? What if there's a problem with the withdrawal process? Who they will call and share their problem?

Overall, it's possible to create a decentralized gaming platform, but it isn't sustainable. As for a casino running without government's awareness, still depends on how small or large the casino is.

I think its possible to establish such decentralized gambling business/platform. But most countries would directly block your website because you don't follow their legal terms. So your website can easily become inaccessible like %90 of world countries. What would that mean? It means you will have very low amount of returns/profits. I think noone other than Elon Musk type of rich guy would try to establish such kind of business with nightmare profits. There is a reason most gambling websites get along with governments. They wanna stay profitable.

A decentralized casino is possible but the user experience is probably going to be substantially worse on average than a centralized casino. Which is going to make running one exceedingly difficult since UX is far more important than decentralization to your average player. Worse also is going to be the currency options. If you run it on a shitcoin it's going to be dead on arrival. And even if you run it on Bitcoin it's going to be nearly dead on arrival. Most want to be able to play in fiat currency.

Having a centralized casino can probably run without government awareness if it remains small enough. At scale, that would be close to impossible, even if it were crypto only. I can't imagine a casino worth over $500m just persists in the long run without some kind of government intervention.

By this time it's going to be difficult to run a platform that is not transparent to government or to any crypto regulators. We are now in a point wherein they are hot on our tails because maybe they want to tax or simply doesn't want to give their control.

And as you have said, with CBDC just around the corner.

It's just a matter of time that they will take control of us, through monitoring, including our gambling habits.

If we are referring to that kind of casino, then it is called an illegal casino. Only the government can make the business legal, and you need to obtain the necessary permits to make your business legal, which means you are under the supervision of the government.

Take crypto, for example, it's supposed to be anonymous, but look what is happening now. In fact, there's what we call a DEX (decentralized exchange) before, but look where they are now.

Most online gambling platforms I believe are operating on either a decentralized network or on a semi decentralized network - Edgeless casino and TrueFlip casino.


There is nothing wrong with accepting CBDC. But I doubt they will. I am pretty sure that it is not going to be mandatory as the option to fund your wallet with other cryptocurrencies will still be allowed. They will still be able to address the issues of fraud and transparency etc. If you feel that your personal information will be revealed by the casino if you use the CBDC when look to other casinos where you do not need to.

Yup. That was back then though I think it should still be possible now, it might be kind of hard to stay anonymous without the knowhows, and it's only a matter of how "long" can it actually stay up since it WILL be brought down if the government was able to see how it can gain traction with their citizens, especially if it was a country that prohibits gambling.

I highly doubt a registered crypto casino will need to accept CBDC's, they were well and fine enough with how they work right now with only specific cryptos being accepted after all. And even then, it will only remain as an option in the casino, and not the sole coin that people are able to use.

For now, it's clear that all gambling-based companies will agree to the government's offer. The aim is for them to operate freely under supervision, indeed ideally a decentralized casino makes a lot of sense. However, if I were a casino owner and had to escape government scrutiny, the risk would be considered illegal.

In fact, to stay safe and mutually beneficial to each other, the casinos surrender their rights to the government. Furthermore, the government asks for a percentage of the profits, so as long as we can benefit each other, that's the best course. Instead of being an enemy of the government and operating invisibly, the casinos would indirectly become targets.

it very likely could run without government knowledge. after all it's decentralized casino that usually preferred by users who are not happy with KYC, to me both are the same whether it's a decentralized casino or a casino that is officially associated with the government. although the regulations are stricter but as long as it can be trusted I have no problem, I've only seen decentralized casinos very rarely last a long time usually they go bankrupt faster and disappear.

Before yes where cryptocurrency based casino has not been taken seriously by government, but since crypto is gaining fame together with businesses using this including casino they are  been strict upon regulating it maybe for questionable reasons about it. But they could still run without government awareness but the question there is those gambler would trust them especially they know if the casino is avoiding government regulation? For sure no since as I seen this became a new trend to be seen as good indicator that a casino is legitimate and not a shady one.

It is possible. However, the question is if it will be sustainable for the long run, not just in the beginning. Establishing a business in general is   risky and requires a lot of effort. It is a tedious task that needs to be looked upon every now and then to monitor the process from the conceptualization to the implementation. Running a business usually requires permit and other documents to legally operate. While it is possible to make a casino that is decentralized in nature, just how bitcoin started, due to multiple cases on scams and schemes will make it difficult for people to trust a website that just happen to appear out of nowhere, not listed in any license operators and isn't at the reach of the government for monitoring purposes.

It could be a good idea especially for those people who aren't fond of the KYC process, however, trust issues will arise from lack of documents and proof of legitimacy. But the moment you establish the name and reputation of the casino, it will just all fall into place. Only that it will be a long journey for a casino website to be acknowledged as reputable and worth trying.

I said it before that I have no issue against CBDCs accepted in online gambling platforms but to say they have no choice is a stretch. The decision still belongs to these casinos. If they see there's a high demand or customer request then they can add CBDC as payment option. They can also stick to fiat payment gateways or crypto if they think it's not necessary to add more.

You don't have to use it but Government agencies can still track you if they really want to. These platforms claiming to be decentralized are still centralized in some way. Where do you think their server are running?

Governments can't monitor all of those casinos.

And that's what those developers are trying to take advantage and they'll just comply to the government of their jurisdiction if they've been caught and called.

But as long as they're like wild and free for their operations, they'll just do nothing so it's very plausible that a casino can run onto their jurisdiction without being noticed.

In a few years ago it would have been possible for casinos to operate without the knowledge of the government but now that is impossible.
The government always seeks and interferes with every casino business that is established by its citizens with the aim of being able to take advantage of it to get taxes.
The government already knows that the casino is a business with big money in it, so the government will ride it and make it an asset for them. They don't want to know if the casino is small or big as long as it is still operating, the government will ask for a certain amount of tax and it is mandatory.

It's possible, but it's not convenient for the casino owner since he need to develop his casino from scratch. Just ask yourself, do you want to choose on a decentralized casino if you can only play dice, crash, mines? as for sportsbook, you can only bet on moneyline option and there's no other betting option, don't forget the casino will not have any promotions too because it's impossible to ban a cheater if the casino is decentralized.

When Bitcoin was created and after sometime I have seen that some Casino were built on DeFi platform and they were running without any government officials.
And also I have heard that Indian Government has shut down 100 plus Gambling sites that use crypto directly or indirectly. And I can say that Now governments are more strict than before and they are going for a regulation.

Of course you can, and as far as I know it already exists at the moment, only what will be a problem is everything decentralized is always the second choice after centralization, we can see on exchanges many don't like it after so many hack news, but centralization is still more at the forefront of decentralized exchanges and it will also happen to decentralized gambling sites, players will only use it as a second choice and the current casino is the first and most used.
Not really following about CBDC if the reason for creating a decentralized casino is because you want to avoid CBDC but don't get a lot of players who are profit givers, so actually it's not worth it at all, especially for gambling site owners whose main goal is to get big profits and I think they will still in the current form of casinos even though they have to follow the rules of the government.

It's definitely possible to run decentralized gambling platforms but it has its own set of challenges as well.
Talking about CBDC, even if the governments force it upon exchanges, there will still be other coins which the exchanges will still keep accepting.
So people will prefer the coins which they are currently using and CBDC will just be another option.

Yes anyone can run it but getting known and wanting it to be steady then you need to comply within your jurisdictions. Well, we can't say that this kind of stuff will still be possible in the future considering how the government is adopting things and getting strict every day, decentralization will not be realized in the future.

As far as I know, legal gambling platforms are always under direct supervision and responsibility by the Chicago licensing authority, generally licenses are supervised by the government which is authorized to manage human resources, especially the funds of users involved in gambling.

For this reason, every gambling industry must be decentralized and prioritize the CBDC payment method for users who bet, I think the Chicago licensing authority will provide the best opportunities and answers for the gambling industry listed on the Chicago license, because decentralization is the main purpose of diversion, surely the gambling industry can easily run in a decentralized manner based on the rules set by the Chicago licensing authority, not a single obstacle and obstacle for a decentralized gambling business.

Is it possible to run a casino without the government’s awareness? Sure. People do it all the time. You hear stories of kids paying their way through college operating poker rooms, etc. is it legal? Of course not. I assume at some point you would reach a level of success that would bring government eyes on what you’re doing. So it’s possible, but it would be a ticking time bomb.

It's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform but when your casino gets crowded with gamblers and the regulators start watching your business, you must get ready to follow their rules. Regulators can do anything to pressure you by asking you to follow their rules. And regulators may also require you to accept CBDC as a deposit and withdrawal option for gamblers. And if it does apply to crypto casinos, we have to accept it and there is a possibility that KYC will be fully implemented by then.

Gambling is legal in many countries and in that country casinos must have a license to operate so that customers can trust them and for them to also make huge profits. A decentralized casino can run in a country that gambling is not allowed because of the fear of the government but note,that you are running an illegal business and if you are caught by the government, you might be sent to jail. Any casino that wants to hit it big must use a centralized system,so that they can build their trust on customers. Now imagine that you registered with a decentralized casino and you win big,if the casino refuse to pay you your funds,how will you claim your funds. Remember any good business that is illegal will end up crashing because it has no government back up.

Indeed, it is possible but it could have consequences and risks in the future. Casinos could be built without the government being aware of it especially if it's online but when the number of users increases and there would be players who would testify about their winnings or share their reviews regarding the casino, they will surely track and look after it. Also, some gamblers prefer legit and centralized casinos for security and assurance in case they would encounter trouble with the casino in the future.

It can. There are many gambling sites out there without permission or being regitered, but still woking out well or still continuously operating. To sum, they are still doing thourthing without governments' permission for them to open. And I guess same scenario would be continuous despite lacking promotion from each government of countries. Problem only is for players who would happen to have a hard time operating especiially on publicized places or platforms. This is more evident with online platform wherein many gambling sites are running without permit. Another problem is players crossing over or meeting ones which happen to be fraud or scam.

People will always strive for decentralization and freedom, but regulators have very different goals. It is very important for them that all money flows are transparent and controlled. I think that as long as we have ways to bypass the system, they will be outlawed.  But I always advocated and will always advocate decentralization, even though I know it's a pipe dream.

From what I know, a decentralized system is a system that is not controlled and everyone can contribute to it, meaning it is a free and transparent system. It would be very risky if you implemented a system like this on a gambling platform, because as a platform owner you must be able to control your users and the games in it, by controlling like this you can avoid various kinds of fraud or manipulation that can be done by users.

And you can also run a gambling platform without needing approval from the government, there are many gambling platforms that operate like that. But it is illegal to run such a business, if you are caught you can be jailed and all your assets will be confiscated by the country in which you operate.

It's wish of most of the gamblers, but it was hard one.Because the gambling site was owned by the individual person,if the gambling site is owned by the person who is gamblers.Then the owner like to keep the gambling site with the benefits of other gamblers.Their is expectations in this case also, if the gamblers is selfish.Then the gamblers will not favour the gamblers.That website also became the owner favour one.It’s impossible to run casino without government knowledge.

It was the situation over a decade before.The online gambling without kyc is mostly trying to do work without the knowledge of the government.It doesn’t mean they are scammer,they not like to pay tax to the government for their earnings.But some casino which doesn’t required any kyc also sometimes stole our money and fly after some expected money was raised.

For a moment I think your topic and the post doesn't really flow in the manner it is understandable but then I got your point. To answer your first question, yes they can run without government awareness but as you have rightly answered your own question, casinos are business outfit that are established to make gains and what determines the amount of gain in a business is the strength of patronage so that contribute to direct an employer on the kind of business and strategy to adopt. To run casino without government awareness you may not need KYC which makes it decentralized but how many bettors desires to play in secrecy when the issue of trust is getting higher. So a casino can desire to run in government control, pay tax and have return on investment due to high level patronage.



It is gradually becoming a normal for bettors to play on a regulated casino because of same trust you mentioned.

Decentralized gambling might not be profitable because it will attract fewer customers. This is because people might not trust these gambling platforms, because they don't have a license to operate in a particular country. Gamblers will always want to deal with casinos that are registered in a jurisdiction in case of litigations.  CBDCs are centralized and controlled by the central banks of these nations and if the government mandates these casinos to use them, they don't have any option but to use It. The truth is that people will always prefer cryptocurrencies to using CBDCs.

Gambling platforms have to be transparent to the law too if the owners have plans to create a long term business. Saying you want to run a casino or gambling platform without government awareness is the same as wanting to run a casino or gambling platform without proper licensing and documentation. If you run a gambling platform to avoid to the government (decentralized gambling), that can only work for a short time away from the eyes of the government, but it is not sustainable, and your business may just be shutdown just when you are about doing well.

I guess you are right on that note, because I have faced similar situation when I had secured a big win and was asked to provide kyc for my withdrawals, I was kind of disturbed by the persistent request for my proof of identity as the details I used in registering was that of my wife and she was on holiday and her details were unavailable but the only hope I had was that the platform was under government control as its registered under a gambling license in my country so I had to call and lay and proper complain and I was asked for proper clarification in their head office and every issue of kyc was rectified and I was paid it full all my winnings but harden been it was an illegal casino I would bet all my winning would be gone as their will be no one to complain to.

I would guess that if you do not have any problems about running legit then you should be wanting the casino to be part of governments awareness. That much is true, but if you are a casino I am sure you will want less government, not just because you would be able to do shady stuff thanks to no government, but even the fact that you won't be paying taxes if government doesn't know you means a lot.

However, no casino can get bigger without government, it would be quite difficult to handle and I would guess that not many people will be able to do it. I want to make sure to point this out better, if you are a casino, and if you get big, government will find you no matter where you hide.

Title and context seems to be not in sync so I don't know which one I have to answer so let's go with both.

Yes, individual or group of people can offer gambling service to people forever without being noticed by government and its happening all over the world especially where gambling is prohibited and restricted.

About CBDC the policy seems new because I don't know any regulated centralized casino should add CBDC in their platform even if they were forced to do still people can choose which one they want to deposit. However being regulated gambling platform shares the information with government anyways so either its CBDC or Bitcoin still you can be tracked.

Governments are aware with crypto and so with the decentralized casinos but they are only good at staring it. They can't do any actions to regulate or shut it down because that is already away of their reach. Long time ago, KYC is not a thing in all types of crypto casino but unfortunately the scene is slowly changing but I think there's still a few centralized casinos who doesn't ask a KYC especially if you are only playing with minimal amounts.

I still prefer them over their decentralized counter part, the same goes when using a crypto exchanger. I feel safe here and the convenience is also there (excluding KYC of course because this one is hassle).

It definitely can and as others have said, in the early days of Bitcoin this was often the norm, because it was considered a new wild west territory that did not get much attention from gambling regulators who might have deemed it a passing fad. It's even possible nowadays, but probably much harder because ultimately the owners want to get paid, or at least need to cover bills, so they would have to be able to generate - at the very least - front companies to convert some of the funding via banks into fiat for regular business bills or staff salaries. At that point, unless they are being a bit tricky with their wording, then the banks are definitely going to want to know a more detailed source of funds and may start asking the business to validate their customers to be sure that no nefarious money washing is taking place.

Decentralized on the sense that it will just accept decentralized coins? or
Decentralized on the way that it isnt really that been regulated or doesnt abide any rules or simply having license?

We know that it is really that hard to oppose when it comes to regulation specially when you are running a business which do involves
huge money in regarding about incoming and outgoing which we know that it is really that not something the government would let it pass.

Yes they can operate illegally and can offer it to people who can possibly try there service to offer. But the problem there is many people at this days will ask about there license and if they cannot show anything related especially they are new some of people will doubt about their legitimacy. Also worse there are some trolls will try to destroy their operation and throw shady accusation against them. Although this is not necessary needed but people nowadays are looking for something legal holdings so that they can assure that they are in safe casino.

This is possible but they are potentially throwing away everything as there is a hanging sword of Damocles on their position.

If they operate illegally without a license, this puts a toll on its identity as a gambling website. Anytime, the government can track down and check their license if they follow all the necessary requisites of operation. In addition, I also doubt that players would invest their time and resources in this kind of online casino given the fact that anytime it could shut down.

If a gambling website plans on operating without a license, then might as well just shut down due to the extreme risks involved in operating this kind of scheme.

Yeah, it's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform using blockchain technology. These platforms, also known as Gambling dApps (decentralized applications), can operate without central control, which makes it difficult for governments to monitor or regulate them. I think there already are such few casinos out there, but not much popular like regular casinos due to some reason that I don't even know.  Likely cause decentralized platforms could have their own set of risks, such as lower user trust (the developers can anytime change the "rules") and potential technical issues that would be such a mess to solve. But you should also keep in mind that even though these platforms might not be under direct government control, they may still face legal challenges if they operate in jurisdictions where gambling is heavily regulated. Even players might face legal problems when playing in those casinos.

True. Gamblers are also curious these days and something new won't be too confident with us anymore, we're looking for assurance that the casino we're at has a license.

Well, it's true also that a casino can operate without government's presence but if they've been found to be operating under their territory illegally, they'll be subject to their terms and rules.

When it comes to the government's awareness i'd say casinos can only pull it off for a certain time because I remember seeing casinos that didn't have a gambling license initially then eventually got one after they found enough success.

It still depends on the type of license because the Curacao license that can be seen in most crypto casinos doesn't provide that much value.

Every now and then those decentralized services still need some human interaction and that alone makes them semi-decentralized and that means the gov will find that “human” sooner or later and tax him.

I believe it is possible to create decentralized dice casinos but when it comes to sports betting, everything changes. A decentralized casino can’t handle this kind of task. These “decentralized “ sports betting casinos need input data and that data is human generated. So there will always be a human managing this data and that will be the weak spot of these projects.

Although there are crypto gambling platforms that are labeled as decentralized, I don't think they are truly decentralized. They may be using the blockchain technology, but they are everything but decentralized. They have known owners who run the operation. They have official headquarters. They are registered. They comply with their taxes and other responsibilities. In other words, they are like a normal company. So they can't be decentralized. After all, gambling is heavily regulated.

Yes, it is possible for them to work with a decentralized platform.
However, I challenge anyone to name me 5 decentralized gambling sites that have good gaming options, are reliable and still have an attractive bonus and rewards program.
Does anyone take a risk?

Unfortunately, decentralized gambling platforms decrease every year and it becomes more and more complicated for you to place bets without the governments knowing about it.
The era of privacy with cryptos in general, for any area, is not the same as it was a few years ago and my perception of this is that it will only get worse.

I think it is possible for someone with the enough capabilities and money to run a fairly decentralized casino and that casino would likely not have a license.

Now, that being said, the governments of the world who monitor our activities on Internet would be indeed aware of the existence of such service in the internet and would start to monitor the addresses and the path of the funds, as soon as the casino start to catch a considerable volume on deposits and withdrawals.

Having or not a license is very different than authorities not noticing you.

Even if technically a decentralized gambling platform can be created and thrive under the right circumstances, governments have very strong regulations when it comes to gambling, so any person trying to do that will eventually clash with the government if their casinos get big enough.

And while Satoshi was able to create bitcoin and get away with it, this is because he choose to be not confrontational and disappeared without ever touching his coins, while the owner of such casino does not have this luxury, which means governments can track him and eventually put him in jail once they find him.

Yes, it is. The OP's argument starts from a false premise. Of course a gambling platform can operate without government awareness, and platforms can decide whether to accept CBDCs as a payment method or not. However, if they operate under the table, they would normally not accept it because it would be like shooting themselves in the foot.

But when the gambling platform has become big and the government is starting to approach it, it's time for the gambling platform to get some regulations that the government will give.
And gambling platforms may be asked to add CBDC features in their casino deposit and withdrawal section because the government wants to know how many people are using CBDC.
Casinos or gambling platforms can refuse it for many reasons, but gambling platforms cannot fight the government, especially the corrupt government.
Crypto casinos shouldn't get things like that so we can still use crypto to gamble.

If the choice of a gambling platform is also CBDC, what you say is a decentralized platform is vague. Because CBDC is not decentralized, but rather a centralized or regulated business.

I don't know why you thought that, but being a decentralized dude is far from the truth. Maybe crypto gambling which we can say is decentralized is like olw games because you connect the wallet address you want so you can play gambling on their platform. And no KYC at all.

Yes of course it's possible to run a decentralised gambling platform. Depending on where you are from it's true that the government wants to have some information about your business and you might also be required to obtain a gambling licence. Usually this transparency towards the government is not resulting in any operative impact for your gambling business, it's mostly in place to protect your customers from any kind of fraud and to pay taxes of course. Using digital currencies that can easily be traced is making sure that government knows about all the money that flows in and out of your business. The only real solution around it would be to base your company in a country with much less restrictive regulation of the gambling industry. Another question would be if that is really necessary as some form of regulation makes your casino seem more trustworthy.    

It is. However, that casino will surely thrive in a very slow paced progress knowing that the clients or potential clients will have zero protection against any fraud and scamming attempts that the casino will do and about to do. The most challenging part of being a decentralized casino is gaining your clients' trust. One might probably go bankrupt even before the government found out that your decentralized casino exist.
We all know the government are always chasing against the businesses that's unregulated and avoiding taxes. So, being a decentralized casino bears a lot of risks.

as crypto being tailed by all the entity in the government because of these being profitable? it will be harder for the people and the businesses in gambling to sustain so they need to comply with the laws provided or else their business will be sued and eventually come to an end.

we have seen what happened in the biggest mixer crypto ever had so this has no difference from what gambling sites facing in the future.

While it's not impossible, the question remains about the level of success. The concern is that once a decentralized casino becomes more popular, it will attract the attention of the government. If they discover that the casino is operating without a license, they could easily shut it down. Even if you try to explain that it's a decentralized casino, the government may not care and will enforce their rules.

This type of casino is not a centralized casino. The casino can also be asked to carry out KYC by the local regulator so that the casino must comply with the regulations. It might seem odd why a decentralized casino has to comply with the regulations of the regulator but that's how it is. Crypto casinos that were not asked to do KYC now some casinos ask their members to do KYC even though the casinos still ask for it randomly. And I just feel that in the future, more and more casinos will ask their users to do KYC.

It depends on how decentralized the casino is. Assuming it is decentralized like how Tor is decentralized, or if it is decentralized just like how decentralized exchanges are, or just like the bitcoin network, it would be very hard for the government to take down. But just that people that want to go for casinos and build one, they see the centralized one to be better for them.

This makes sense.

Decentralized casinos could possibly attract a lot of attention because of the absence of KYC. The moment it becomes popular, there's a high chance that the casino will also attract the attention of the government officials in checking and monitoring their operations. It is possible that the state will ask them to register their business in order to operate. Otherwise, it could be banned from operating because of disobedience and lack of documents passed. The sustainability will be questionable too.

there is absolutely no way for the casino business to run without the knowledge of the government, tantamount to illegal gambling.
after all if gambling goes without government knowledge it is very difficult to get customers.
because customers also think about security if there is no legality from the government, it's the same as the threat if one day the government finds out about this gambling and after that it is closed and all customer funds are confiscated then the customer will feel disadvantaged.
especially if the casino asks its customers for KYC and when investigated by the government the customer is threatened with law because gambling in casinos is illegal.

Just from my thoughts, u think yes it is possible to create a decentralized gambling casino and in the early days of cryptocurrency, decentralized casinos were more rampard as there was no major attention on them but as the time goes on, people started misusing the crypto casinos and did a lot of criminal activities through the casino which includes money laundering and several of them which brought the attention of the government to crypto gambling casinos and forced the casinos into been centralized to avoid criminal activities through their platforms, hence I really don't see any major reasons to be shy away from centralized casinos as they also serve for the good of the gamblers because they also help to intervene when the gambler is faced with challenges from the casino.
Currently now, there some casinos who are decentralized bit you oigg to know that they aren't trusted since no one is there to monitot them .

Running a decentralized gambling platform should be okay, but there should still be government awareness and licensing regulations to protect players.

A casino needs to be regulated and known by the government to ensure fair play and prevent illegal activities such as money laundering. Additionally, regulation can help ensure that the casino is operating safely and responsibly, protecting both the players and the industry. Regulation can also be important in preventing problem gambling and ensuring that casinos are not exploiting vulnerable individuals. By requiring casinos to implement responsible gambling measures and providing support and resources for those struggling with addiction, regulation can help mitigate the negative impacts of gambling.

Furthermore, regulation can provide a framework for taxation and revenue sharing, which can benefit both the government and the industry. Governments can generate revenue and support public services and infrastructure by requiring casinos to pay taxes and contribute to local communities. While there may be some drawbacks to regulation, the benefits of ensuring fair play, protecting players, and generating revenue for society make it an essential aspect of the casino industry.

I think it can but not for a long run. Maybe it can operate for a couple of months without being caught without getting caught by the authorities. Especially for business owners who want to optimize their casino business, and take advantage of the benefits that they can take from the law  they would like to make part of their business legal. Their credibility, success, and popularity will depend on how much they would want to risk.

Even if it becomes popular and gain public recognition as long as it remains decentralized the government cannot have access to getting them, being decentralized simply can quonote being anonymous, as long as your identity is not ensure with bthe government then you have overcome their effect, just as bitcoin exist but they have no one to hold responsible for the creation of bitcoin since Satoshi is anonymous and bitcoin pseudo anonymous, a decentralized casino can exist and functions without the government interference no matter how.

Is it necessary for a gambling site to use CBDC even if they have been granted legal permission to operate? Only the payment methods available on such platforms allow you to play. If they refuse to use CBDC, they will not be monitored or tracked by the inflow and outflow of funds in the casino if at all the CBDC will be used for such purpose by the government.

Are you sure?

How about using up that typical fiat? Arent they been tracked? Since these platforms or companies are regulated on which it would really be just that right or understandable that they would really be having that kind of
monitoring came from the government considering that this business does involved huge amounts, speaking about incoming and outgoing transactions then this could generate out millions of dollars or in fiat value
on which it is really just that understandable that government would really be tending to monitor it out.Its impossible that it would really be running under governments radar even before CBDC would really be
introduced.Its been long time regulated and monitored, it is really just CBDC's integration would really be just adding up on the options.

yes, as I said, it usually doesn't take too long for a decentralized casino because usually there are also many people who want to play at an official casino with government knowledge but unfortunately many refuse when it comes to KYC, so there are also official casinos that don't ask for KYC on small gamblers, there are several casinos that only provide informational data without having to provide an identity card or other important papers. but that doesn't mean casinos can't exist without government knowledge, they can still stand and operate

If a certain physical casino doesn't have complete papers, registration, and any legal documents to operate then that certain casino could be an illegal casino. There are reasons why they do not want to legally operate because they can lessen the cost of the business wherein they do not have any more expenses. As a gambler, it is our responsibility to be aware if the casino that are are playing is illegal or not because there are a lot of risks if the casino is illegal. One of the risk is the risk of getting in the jail, if you play or wager your money in illegal casino and the authorities saw you; your risk of getting in the jail is very high. I really do not know why there are a lot of gamblers out there who prefer to wager their money on illegal. Aren't they aware to the risks? There are now a lot of casinos not only in physical but also in online that you can have security and safety. When I play in popular casinos in my country, I do not have negative thoughts like being arrested because I know that the casino that where I'm playing is legal and they are operating following the laws and regulations of the government.

And that's why we can look for official casinos that don't really implement KYC so that we can play gambling more freely in these casinos. Maybe crypto casinos will be required to do KYC one day, but let's hope that's a long way off. But indeed, by following the rules from the government, normal casinos will not have any problems or difficulties because there is a law behind them that will provide support if something attacks them with false accusations. But we also have to be careful because who knows if there are casinos that work with corrupt employees and we don't know anything about it.

When we say government I think we need to specify the particular government we meant because there are some countries that do not have the time to monitor casinos or other private companies especially online. A casino need to be registered in a particular country for it to be known and accepted. Not all countries monitor online activities and it will be hard for them to track all transactions from a casino. Although government are trying much harder these time to check mate many of the online transactions to safe whether they are failing in there tax payment.

But old casinos are starting to implement a KYC in their platform so for sure in future they can't avoid to submit this if they still want to play. Those non KYC compliant casino is hard to trust since to many scams are always happening so its hard to trust them if they will not follow or comply to what government ask if government want to regulate them.

If a gambling platform that is fully registered and recognized by a government of any country, they should be ready to dance to their national law. If governments introduce them to a cashless policy and they accepted, they have no choice than accept the Central Bank digital currency but a gambling platform that is not registered or recognized doesn't have to do what the government didn't enforce on them but of course, they will be tame as illegal gambling and I wonder if governments allow decentralized governments, they are have been fighting decentralization of currencies and you really think they will allow decentralized gambling platforms, I don't think so.

You can't, on offline casinos, it's not going to work and it can be considered a guerilla type of casino, on online casinos it can but it's not going to have the support of the majority of gamblers because even if we are supporters of decentralization and anonymity we want to play on casinos that are government compliant because online casinos are in the radar of authorities as a gateway of money laundering, and gamblers want to play at ease and they want to play in casinos that will have no issue with authorities.
So even if we don't like centralization is something gamblers are comfortable with here in the gambling industry.

however the government will continue to oversee this business. casino is a profitable business for several parties. especially for the government which of course implements large taxes for casino operating permits.
after all, it is true that more gamblers will play at casinos that have been legalized or have permission from the government. it's better, but still there will be online casino platforms quietly operating their platforms. it's only a matter of time how the casinos will finally be caught by the eyes of the government.

That's for real, most consumers, customers, and gamblers prefer the centralized one. It's hard to gain traction with the decentralized type of gambling of how flawed the system is for those that have tried it first. And another thing is that we're just used to the common centralized type of gambling. Another factor is about the news that have been made all about these decentralized things like exchanges and even in gambling, so that impression is hard to be removed from those that have heard a lot of how not friendly they were.

Of course, it is possible to launch such a casino.But even the players themselves will have many questions,because there will be a minimum of guarantees that your funds will be safe,since there is no legal field in which this casino will operate.And in order to have good licensed games, the casino already needs to be more public company and regulated by law.

Many of us are used to playing on centralized gambling sites with the ability to ask support questions, deposit and withdraw funds in multiple cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. Most of us still trust the reputation of the casino rather than the smart contracts on which all casino activity would take place. It seems to me that in the future all casinos will be decentralized. It's just easier now to get a license and attract users to traditional gambling than to decentralized gambling sites. 

Running a gambling business without (law) interference from the government seems difficult because every country that legalizes gambling has laws that must be obeyed by the owner of the gambling business.

However, every gambling user has full rights to use the deposit via what (crypto or fiat currency) so even though in the future the majority of gambling sites have the option of depositing or withdrawing via CBDC, of course, it will not be forced by the government and gambling owners to use, because consumers also have the right to vote and that cannot be ignored.

Those who are restricted countries no one can get the permission of conducting gambling platform in that particular area.If any casino is established then there is a severe disciplinary system. However, where the casino business is operated, the government will definitely try to look at their revenue and profit. However, if some one can conduct gambling without their permission they can do it temporarily but in the long run they will be faced various complications.

Illegal gambling dens exists for a reason. That's because there could be you silly!

Although in all seriousness. There have been a few sites and physical casinos that was able to operate for a long while until the authorities find out about their illegal operations and apprehended them. POGOs are the most common offenders in these categories as they could go under the police's radar for years on end before verifiable evidence could be collected.

There's also the case of roadside gambling, where a couple of blokes who can't find anything to do with their spare time wasting it away on some friendly gambling, until the number of backseat viewers and active gamblers increase, until a certain point has reached where the whole operation becomes grandiose and more accommodating.

But yeah, eventually the government will catch up.

Well, it’s still possible to run a decentralized gambling platform but the problem is if it will be sustainable in the long run. Operators might be profiting at first only but later on, gamblers will start looking centralized casinos like what we mostly have today in the market, which means that could be a loss for decentralized casinos. The reason why most of the casinos today still prefer to be centralized than decentralized, because accept it or not, gamblers want to gamble more safely and secured, which I think decentralized casinos have less to offer when it comes to that.

Decentralized casinos means they don't have to ask KYC from their customers.
However, up until now, most gamblers prefer the centralized casinos with gambling license.
I believe, it is due to the fact that a lot of casinos can scam their players, and people are tired of it.
The dilemma also comes from the thought that when you connect your wallet to decentralized casino, you don't know if your wallet is safe or not.
Some issues stemmed from the fact that some players are losing money because of them, hence, people are advising not to use their main wallet when connecting to these decentralized casinos.

The difference between the centralized gambling platform and the decentralised one is the support provided. Another thing is the different operators having different games. In the past there were decentralised platforms and they don't have much of casino games, what we can see in common is Dice. Apart, the platforms will be much focused on sports betting. So that it is possible to lower the risks as well as can function without flaws.

The actual government itself or any specific bureau or agency that's focused in dealing with casino operations. And even if there's one, it's likely that they can't monitor all of it.

If they do, then there won't be new casinos being launched in every part fo the world that's not registered. They can even manage to be published publicly, have some customers while having no license at all.

And that's why for most of them, they're going easy on them until they're forced to look at them.

This is why government does have their different field of function and appointing someone who would really be handling out speaking about businesses and taxations which is something that it is impossible for it to be
lacking or something that would be missed up.This is why if ever a certain business owner would tend to hide into the shadows on governments presense or eyesight then it would be considered illegal no matter what.
Yes, they could still make out operations but do expect about the risks on which on the time you do get caught then you arent that dumb on not to know on what are the violations
and consequences in line with it.
