Pretty exciting news! Bitcoins are indeed the money of the future, and even these European countries are now realizing it. The government itself has allowed for such a platform to exist and gave license for it to operate under such circumstance. I think the world is slowly accepting the existence of cryptocurrency and soon we would likely be able to see a mass adoption to cryptocurrency.
European gambling industry knows that there are tons of money to make in the bitcoin gambling industry. They want to take a small portion out of it. They don't want Americans to have the monopoly of bitcoin gambling industry. Well its still a big boost to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, so considered this a welcoming news.
Regulated is not the word I like when I want to gamble, regulated betting seems like not a good idea,I like when bitcoin is under the radar from government, if I wantbthe regulated gambling I will just used fiat, but this will be a good news for bitcoin, more places to spend bitcoin, bitcoin will become more useful and valuable
yes we need more merchants in that kind field , it is a good business with huge money circulation , once bitcoin developed more serious i think it will become a big jump for the value and popularity , in the end bitcoin adoption will become mainstream.
a lot of people from any society level come to buy and use bitcoin easily and especially for the sake having fun play some games and put some money.
This could be another step closer for bitcoin to become mainstream. EU has been quiet regarding bitcoin adoption, though there are few who are bitcoin friendly but most of them are against bitcoin. It this "regulation" will put into place, EU will bitcoin gamblers will soon rise up in numbers, as we all know there as a lot of high rollers from that region, opening the door for bitcoin closer to global adoption.
regulation won't change anything , bitcoin gambling sites will remain struggle to get a new player.
you know why? they are still have a lot of fear they won't get paid. but yes at least with this regulation rumour some people will try to play here and see the result whether are they feel comfortable enough to stay or just ignore it.
