A group of nearly 20 exchanges has released contingency plans in the event that the bitcoin network splits in two, creating two competing currencies. Details: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-exchanges-unveil-emergency-hard-fork-contingency-plan/

I'd like to know the standing of bitcoin gambling games... Are they ready or people having coin with them may lose coins on one chain?

p.s. Above question is valid only for off-chain bitcoin gambling games, where we have to store our coins on site wallet before playing.

I'd like to know the standing of Indian exchanges... Are they ready or people having coin with them may lose coins on one chain?

Copay, Bitpay & Electrum seems to be affected. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Bitcoin is a revolution currency but bitcoin is a fairly inefficient payment network. The latter is a perfectly fine consequence of the former. If people turn this on its head and try to market bitcoin as a payment rail where the currency is an unfortunate requirement, it would be immediately out competed in the market by better payment systems which are fundamentally more scalable than the decentralized Bitcoin system or which don't require costly and unpredictable currency conversion.

We're excited to announce a major new step for BitPay and bitcoin payments in Europe. This week NetBet became the first UK-licensed gambling merchant to begin accepting bitcoin for bets in its online sports betting platform and casino.

NetBet is a leading gambling operator in the United Kingdom. They decided to start accepting bitcoin to reach the growing digital currency user base in the UK (the United States and other restricted countries are not included). Since bitcoin is new to the regulated gambling industry in Europe, we've worked closely with NetBet to ensure that the addition of this new payment method meets their existing UK Gambling Commission regulatory requirements.

NetBet customers will now have the option to use bitcoin to load their online account funds in seconds. This bitcoin checkout option will allow more NetBet users to get back to playing and placing bets with the peace of mind that their transactions won't expose them to the risk of online payment fraud.

We look forward to bringing bitcoin payment processing to more licensed online gaming merchants. If you are a licensed gambling business, email sales@bitpay.com to learn more about accepting bitcoin.
