Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

[megynacuna]

Legal cases in online gambling only lead to a particular person's report, or the government gets an unusual transaction account account from a suspected person, so in fact this is not really legal gambling for some countries especially developed countries, do not compare gambling especially Crypto gambling with religion because the business is only for people who want to open their minds by using positive economic laws in the free market.

And these days, except your country makes bitcoin illegal, you can hardly get screwed since you can just make use of bitcoin gambling sites and get your winnings in your wallet.

Bitcoin gambling can only be illegal if it is declared by the country of the player as illegal but does that really stop anyone from continuing when you can easily stay anonymous without the government breathing down on your neck ? No!

That's true, there are a lot of protocols with which one can hide his identity online and since most of these  bitcoin gambling websites are hosted on offshore servers certain government restrictions and actions to take them down will be  fruitless and so the worst they could do is to pronounce it illegal but cannot stop it.

Gambling Bitcoin and ordinary gambling are just the same things I think. It's just that if ordinary gambling uses ordinary currency, then Bitcoin gambling will use cryptocurrency as a tool for transactions. With cryptocurrency, I think people would prefer Bitcoin gambling instead of ordinary gambling. People will be easier to play gambling online and in secret without known to many people, there are some people who like that. With cryptocurrency, transactions and money transfers become encrypted and confidential. It is difficult for people to track and know gambling players or gambling service providers.

it's really the one you say because it's a topic that makes no sense at all. and whose name is gambling in every country is prohibited and if I think also bitcoin gambling is certainly illegal and will not be legalized by the state

What? Keep posting like this and you'll get a sweet and juicy ban for Christmas. Your post is not only pointless but also lacks any meaning, not to mention grammar, punctuation, and it doesn't even begin with a capital letter. Back to school you go!

There is nothing illegality in bitcoin based gambling but i am not sure whether all the gambling sites are registered according to conventional way but from what i understand some gambling sites are registered in some free heavens,there are good genuine sites and make sure you enquire about the site before depositing your money whether it is legit or not.

I see bitcoin is not prohibited in any country for bitcoin gambling because gamblers using bitcoin to place a bet and not money. since bitcoin is not a currency then people can gamble with bitcoin. but if in the future, bitcoin become a currency, then maybe bitcoin will be prohibited to use for gambling.

There are some bitcoin gambling website that are registered and there are some that are doing shady business but most the site are legal on their respected countries.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

To be honest, i don't have exact idea about it. But as i think the answer will be about the law, and also it is depend on your country. In most of the country gambling is illegal and also in most of the country gambling is legal. Then about the online gambling, in my point of view, online gambling is legal that's why every gambler could play it without any restriction and law.

Gambling is legal as the government has no concern with it and also gambling cannot pave a threat to the security of the country or any other national activity but it will become illegal when it will take place between two countries because it can pose threat to the peace of two countries as sometimes groups or communities are involved in this gambling and obviously, the losing side wouldn’t be having good thoughts about the winning side so it depends upon the situation  on the bases of which gambling will become legal or illegal.

You can't just make a general statement like this saying that any form of gambling with Bitcoin is illegal, different countries have different laws.
Bitcoin isn't even recognized as a currency in most countries, I assume many Bitcoin casino's are using that as a loophole, they're in a gray legal area.

The fact that casino's and Bitcoin offer some form of anonymity has nothing do do wether it's illegal or not.

Gambling is whether online or not as long as the government is strict and has a mandatory rule of law about declaring it as illegal, whether you gamble at your own home or with fake money gambling is illegal. That's the logic that I can think for now but very few countries declaring bitcoin gambling is illegal but there's a lot of it that has a law about gambling as illegal thing or even a type of crime.

I know most gambling sites and casinos are always strict with age but illegality depends on the country and as long as these online casinos are involved, there is really no form of illegal policies that can affect them most especially with the whole bitcoin usage which makes every gambler anonymous and no way the government can track the operation of the site or the users. Legality of bitcoin gambling will be a concern only up to individuals as bitcoin is completely unregulated.

I think every gambling is illegal

nope thats not right,all the gambling that dont pay taxes
is considered illegal and those who pays taxes is not thats the basis
to prove the rights of gambling to operate.

But since it was asked here in cryptocurrency site,government has
no jurisdiction here so who can says its illegal or legal?

[drmarcobelli]

depends where u from.
if gambling online is illegal that even btc is.
if btc is illegal then it is.

Please stop making crap topics that make no sense at all. You ask if bitcoin gambling is illigal and the poll had two answers Bitcoin and blockchain??? ? Wtf? You don't even know what you are saying you should not be asking questions or making topics. Bitcoin gambling is legal anywhere gambling is. It differs from country to country so f you really want to know then do some research and find out yourself.

it's really the one you say because it's a topic that makes no sense at all. and whose name is gambling in every country is prohibited and if I think also bitcoin gambling is certainly illegal and will not be legalized by the state

This is the biggest dilemma of gambling industry. This is highly banned in every country but is the most flourishing illegal business in the world. but wait for a second, land based casinos exist in the world and they have permits from government of the state for operating their casinos which means gambling is not band around the globe and this is why using bitcoin in gambling is also not illegal thing to earn money.

I really doubt if there is any registered gambling site. They do not have a direct link with the government and except maybe where the server may be located (not sure how they get themselves running daily though), which could be the only reason.

Moreover, even that does not mean anything. There are so many countries that are friendly with gambling and for the gamblers themselves, the only problem they may have is cashing out, only if the government bans cryptocurrency. Except for this, the legality of bitcoin gambling is based on the country and how the person wants to stick to the law.

All things is illegal if it is prohibited by its own government and if bitcoin gambling called to be illegal by your authorities then it was considered as illegal. Somehow bitcoin as a decentralised system so it is hard for the government to oppose and for that there is nothing to worry and will just go by the flow.

Bitcoin proved that it is a powerful tool in gambling; talking about the online gambling. a lot of sectors are accepting bitcoin payments especially casinos.

[reymartH]

Some bitcoin casinos are legal. If a bitcoin casino is operated in the same manner as a traditional casino, it will fall under the same laws as if it is a traditional casino. There are no federal laws against online gambling. However, there are some state laws prohibiting the practice.

Where ever the gambling is banned there bitcoin gambling is also banned. but no one can find us easily so people play bitcoin gambling and there is no legal and illegal matter in online gambling.

I think every gambling is illegal

I humbly disagree. Gambling is Legal every country has its own land base casino that operates under regulated law. Underground gambling is illegal, which is set to have violations once proven guilty of doing it.

In case Bitcoin Gambling. There's no law that prohibits gambling using Bitcoins, so in general it is legal (to those countries who legally accepted Bitcoins).

I am going to support your stance without any second thought because there is nothing which can flourish publicly without the support of governments. As far as gambling is concerned and that too in land based casinos, these casinos are paying heavy taxes to the state and in return they gain permit from government for ruining eth lives of people. Indeed bitcoin gambling is not declared illegal by any state or any law.
