Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

[mx667]

It depends on both, your country and the legality of Bitcoin. Some countries do not allow the people to gamble and some of them do. Now if your country doesn't prohibit gambling then it is probably legal. But now it also depends if your country has any rules against Bitcoin too or not. If there is no such rule in your country which stops anyone from gambling but Bitcoin is banned in the country then i guess it would be illegal as you are using an illegal currency for gambling. If the authorities find out what you are doing, you might have to face problems. If Bitcoin is neither legal nor illegal in your country then you are free to do it ofcourse.

Countries in the middle east to the best of my knowledge because of the way they are being ruled through various Islamic injunctions, there is no justification whatsoever for gambling whether fiat or btc. But for my country gambling on its own is legal so far you can meet the terms and condition among which the most important one is 18 years the moment that is settled, you are good to go without any limitation. With bitcoin coming to the mainstream, the law is still silent as to which direction we want to go.

Yes, actually it depends on the country where we live. There are countries that legalize gambling, some are forbidding gambling and even imprisoning people who are desperate to gamble. Whatever the type of gambling, even use Bitcoin though.

However, gambling is always found in different parts of the world, in any country. Even in a country that forbids gambling though, there remains a special place for gambling. Some say a term called "official gambling", I do not know about it and what it means. But there is also a gambling place that deliberately pays the authorities such as the police and the government to open gambling halls. Usually, in a corrupt country will be found something like that.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

I'm in the middle of telling it's legal and illegal. For countries that are aware about bitcoin being used as tool for such activities like gambling, it's up to them if they'll implement bitcoin legality or not. But for countries that there's nothing with bitcoin or it's no recognized, I guess it's not illegal nor legal.

That's right mate, for those countries who already recognized bitcoin existence they already have the right to implement some rules in accordance to bitcoin gambling as its already on their jurisdiction while for those countries that haven't got any idea about bitcoin there's no way that they can treat
it legal or illegal and there's no chance that any rules will be implemented.

And if they decided to say that bitcoin is illegal then we can't anything about it. They are the ones that is being trusted by the people and is the law maker too. For those countries that no idea about bitcoin and remains to be neutral, it's likely bitcoin is legal on that country.

There's a reason why they get to seat in the position that they are in. It's always the government or the ruling party in a country that needs to control these things and that would be hard to oppose if they consider gambling as illegal. It depends on the country really and I hope that it could be legal in our countries and it's up to ourselves to not get addicted to it.

In my view bitcoin Gambling is legal , Because I am in this field since 5+ years and also I am much active in every field .
From the practical life analysis here j have the mentility that if the government of the fee countries can allow the making Gambling and betting ( like in England ) , then why not it can be in the online , as we are in the bitcoin field ,so Ofcourse we should make Gambling with bitcoin and it is not illegal in any way .
If we are going to sell the bitcoin then we needed to pay tax according to as per the rule of the government , so I don't think it is bad in any ways . So bitcoin is legal Gambling method .
And I think we should treat the bitcoin as an game like thing , where we can enjoy with the bitcoin Because Money is made for the enjoy and if we can't enjoy them for what thing these are made .

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

The question we would like to ask forst is where does the gane took place as some countries are according to their law are legalizing gambling and some frown upin it. IF there is a lot of policies regarding gamblig then probably it is frowned upo. 

[armansolis593]

It would be illegal depending on what country you are living, different country have different rules regarding gambling and specially when it comes to bitcoin.
Some online bitcoin casino requires you to full identification process before you can withdraw what money you have on your account because of legal matters.

[bitterguy28]

I think every gambling is illegal

not mate have an many gambling legal and have a permit came from the government intitution example on that the land based casino which, and have many online gambling games have premission to operate by the government instutution in every country, but as of now i can't answer the question about the legality of bitcoin gambling its because have no update information for this issue.

[michkima]

If there is no law prohibiting it then it is completely legal. That is the legal rule everywhere. If your laws do not particularly ban the use or owning bitcoins then you're safe to gamble with them. The problem is that if there is a law that generally bans online gambling in your country. Then that would mean that it is illegal to gamble using bitcoins in that country. But generally there aren't much laws for it yet so we don't really have to worry.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

In specific countries,where the level of law is developed,If you want to create online casino you need to get a special gambling license.This license contains prerequisites,For example in my country this license cost s2.000.000.Olso you need to get license for employess  (for example if you have live roulette on your bitcoin gambling site or manager,you must get a special license for this person)  But I think, that they can not control bitcoin gambling sites and  its very bad because,the owner of the casino does not have any legal binding fear and its bad only for users.This is a general case and nothing special is announced about this in my country.So it's very hard and expensive to create legal bitcoin gambling site and in my opinion 60 % of this gamblings are illegal.

[btcprospecter]

I think this would really depend on what laws were already in place in the country you are gambling in however since bitcoin is not regarded as a financial currency everywhere it could be seen as gambling with nothing different than buttons or matches.

[MiteLit]

i think it depend on where you live, in some places in the world gambling whether regulated or not is legal, in other countries, you can gamble only through certain licences operators and some countries you can not play poker or sport betting.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

When was gambling of any kind legal? Only gambling is legal where the country allows it say Macau Vegas this are places where it's allowed. Bitcoin itself is not legal how will the gambling be legal? Maybe if Japan does allow Bitcoin gambling you could say it's legal out only In Japan but otherwise no other County it is legal. You could try out reputable sites like bitdice and play without any fear.

[Soots]

mainly it depends on where you live. in many countries gambling is not illegal and in some places it is.
but also in some countries it depends on whether or not the government can tax online gambling. i believe it is illegal to gamble "online" in US because they could not tax online gambling!

Most countries gambling is illegal but it will depends on there community if its legalized because they have permit to those such gambling games. Gambling is very fun game, doing such games to win or just wish your luck to have money. Most people making as there part of life doing to gamble ,even there last money they try to gamble because they believed last money is there lucky money but unfortunately its not. Doing such gambling may ruin financial aspects and also may cause such conflicts thats why most countries didn't legalized gambling.

[mharz]

If you played gambling into the casinos you can assured that all games inside on that placed are legal. Because most of the casinos are given high amount of taxes to the government to make their business legal and have a protection from government. Moreover some casinos shares some of their income to charitable institution to become more helpful to other poor people.

However, the illegal gambling are when you play outside the casinos because and it was involved high amount. Because in the eye of law it was the sins that not allowed by the government in any countries.

[franklin9]

You can consider it legal depending on your location and the jurisdictions you are under, Gambling websites themselves are usually legal since they operate in places allowing them (or at least say they do) and block US players (the biggest source of headache for sportbooks in general since the US gov is, well, bad to them).

[StonedWolf]

While thinking that bitcoin gambling is illegal, I don't really care about that. In fact, from an ethical point of view bitcoin's gambling is better than women's gambling or car's gambling by far. Also, due to the high value of bitcoin, gain with bitcoin is better than the other types. Which seduces any gambler to discover this experience.

Voting pool is interesting, did anyone notice that? I didn't vote its idiotic from OP what he done with his thread and pool, and he doesn't care about changing that and making it right.
Is it legal or not depends from countries, in my gambling with bitcoins is not regulated, like bitcoin is not regulated. Looks like that just advanced countries doing something about it, small ones like mine don't even think about bitcoins yet. When you gamble in bitcoins casinos you have possibility to check their possibly fair system. In fiat casinos that is not possible, legality on one side but on other side is what is better for us gamblers and that is for sure bitcoin.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

In my country there's nothing wrong if you'll gamble with bitcoin. No laws about it but if you'll use bitcoin for something illegal that can put the life of others in danger and threats the government you'll be in jail if the authorities will find it out. But for countries that bitcoin is ban and gambling is banned too, it's obvious.

There is actually nothing wrong with it globally unless they want to tell us that gambling in itself be it fiat based or cryptocurrency based is illegal. I gamble comfortably with Bitcoin and other alts in my country and I guess it's the same everywhere without restrictions especially if we are not interfering with their local exchanges by withdrawing our win coins in their fiats.

Well tell it that there's nothing wrong if you gamble to the people who are living in the countries where any form of gambling is prohibited. But luckily we have freedom and we can gamble with bitcoin and good thing that we had some nice government that allows people to have fun whether it is gambling with casino or cryptocurrencies. Just use bitcoin in legal things and don't get involved illegally.

[bitctrimor1]

Depends on the country/jurisdiction I guess. If gambling is illegal, gambling with anything is going to be illegal, doesn't matter whether it is bitcoin or fiat.

This is true. It depends on the place we are talking about; some countries actually use gambling as a good means to get revenue through taxes. Gambling is a big industry; what makes it illegal sometimes is how underground and illegal organizations try to monopolize it or control it from the shadows using illegal and violent means. Bitcoin gambling, on that note, is not illegal, there are actually many people trying it out.

[bratko99]

In my country betting online is illegal.
Bitcoin is illegal.
