Actually it was my first time to gamble online so I really don't know what's the difference between using crypto over fiat but I think crypto is more convenient because of its feature of being anonymity and since I am from the third world country that doesn't have credit card it would be hard for me to gamble using fiat when I stumble upon bitcoin  I was really amaze how easy to use it and how easy for me to buy anytime I want.
That was right, using cryptocurrency in gambling is much more convenient rather than you use fiat in gambling. Instead of moving to other places to go to casinos you can easily be doing that at your home. I'm not gambling lover but sometimes if I have an extra bitcoin I open my gambling site account and play dice it is really easy to gamble just deposit your digital money and you can start gambling.
It has a big effect on the price on the market if many people purchase crypto to use in gamble it means it has a more demand for bitcoin and makes it expensive.

Convenience and anonymity of cryptocurrency transactions made it easier for gamblers to bet without tension of privacy issues. Cryptocurrency gambling attracted more people from around the world into online casinos. It is much helpful for gamblers who are from such countries where gambling is not allowed.
There was a time when technology wasn’t that much suppressive. And see it now, even people are running themselves just because of this gambling thing. They want to kill themselves financially and emotionally but just they got blind of the worst greed, they aren’t seeing anything. Online gambling is also a worst part of this technological evolution. May things get good?

Of course in every case there are positive and negative sides. Although cryptocurrencies make gambling easier to do, the possibility of becoming an addict, even from home, will be more widely open.

First comes morals before technology. Of course gambling can lead to a person becoming poor and in debt but that was their choice to gamble. Nobody forces others to gamble. If you fall into a temptation to make a mistake then you are the one to blame not the casino. In another sense it is a business method for the casino owners. They run a good business from it and also the investors of the casino and affiliate marketers.

Those who dont get themselves addicted to gambling are well to do. If you are cunning enough to be one of them then you are a diplomatic winner different from the rest of the general population.

We used different deposit methods and there was a lot of fees in the past. What is the link between crypto moneys use and online gambling?
I think so. I mean there are some overlaps for sure, some people who gambled with regular fiat currency also started to move to crypto currency to gamble, that is for sure however I think people like me who never gambled with fiat currency in their life also started to gamble thanks to bitcoin (because of bitcoin? Cheesy ) Hence I think even tho there is an overlap between the two types, the number increased considerably because of people like me.

Not sure the number is too big to actually make a dent in casino business because they are making billions of dollars each year but places like primedice has been around forever and have been making a bank without any brick and mortar place, just a website.

 The main reason why most gambling sites are now using cryptos is because cryptos are now becoming popular  . other gambling sites are also using cryptos just before they get disovered and become succesful   , thats why many sites are now following the trend .

not just online gambling but any services and business online can be a help in order to boost the crypto money but even though many site are now using cryptos , i dont think that this enough  because the value of cryptos are not yet increasing .  we still need more adopters so that more crypto money can flow

I personally have my own reasons why online crypto gambling is increasing and more popular, it is also evident from some gambling players that I know they are switch to crypto gambling because in my view, online gambling with fiat is still insecure especially those in their countries prohibit gambling. So with the ban, online gambling using cryptocurrency in my opinion would be safer and would certainly make players comfortable until online gambling with crypto continues to increase.

definitely a strong bond, 1st crypto is tougher to trace which suits pro gamblers, 2nd many betting platforms allow anonymous bets (no need to prove identity or link credit cards/bank account). Also some crypto betting platforms offer higher odds for numerous sport events.

Even 1-2 years ago, most casinos were only bitcoin based, well some of them still had ethereum, litecoin and dogecoin because they were popular too but only some casino had that option which wasn't even visible to be fair. Now every casino tries to offer you wide choice of coins, not only those four very popular coin but a lot of like ripple, ethereum classic, dash, monero and so on. This means number of plays who use cryptocurrency has increased a lot and that number doesn't come from only bitcoin.

Yes, and it continue to increase despite of the market condition. Many new gambling site but of course it is not trusted yet, it still better to gamble with the trusted gambling sites for years now. The volume of gambler has also increased because of so many options in this market and for sure it will continue to grow as the market grows again.

Online gambling is easy and less travel time unlike in casino house we need to spent time to travel, we we look the at past is more people switch turning to adopt online gambling.
And as many answer about high fees transaction is that a normal and collecting transaction fes are depends on the amount you create transaction base on the percentage.

I don't use online gambling to increase my crypto amount, but I know some of my friends do this. They play dice games, and I think they are a very good gambler because when I see they played, they can control the emotion and they know how to place the bets. It's like they can predict what will happen in the next, but after I asked, they only say it just coincidence and nothing related to anything. But I don't believe it because they can get a nice winning in the next 3 hours later. Maybe they just luck so they can win the dice game.

Because of this incovenience, lots of gambler are now studying how to gamble especially when cryptocurrency are made. Its increasing, crypto gamblers are continue to grow and this will become more big in the future. I still prefer to gamble in casinos, because I can personally see the excitement around me and still a lot of people that makes your gambling experience a more enjoyable. Cryptocurrency helps the gambling industry to become bigger and make new ways to gamble.

There are different gambling sites that employ the use of crypto currency. So it has some positive influence

Well, ever since the crypto currencies was made there are a lot of funtions that it can be used to and that really favors a lot of online gamblers because of its anonimity. And with a lot of gambling sites now accepting crypto currencies, a lot of gamblers use these to gamble. And yes, with the availability of cryptos on gambling sites, online gambling became more popular.

I think online gambling has increased with appearance of cryptocurrencies, but not significantly. For example, in 2016 the volume of online gambling was $45.86 billion (source: https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-gamblers-wagered-4-5-billion-btc-2014/), while the same article states that  roughly $4.5 billion worth of BTC has been wagered during 3 years prior to the date of posting. This means that crytpo gambling amounts to less than 5% of of the overall online gambling.

I think someone uses crypto to play gambling online because crypto is decentralized so no third party can manage it. So the transaction is anonymous so that it is not known by anyone, especially in countries that ban bitcoin, this is very useful. Especially if gambling with bitcoin to withdraw is very easy so this also makes it easy to start gambling.

We cant take the fact that people would like to make it private if they are doing not so nice things or things that are uneasy on the eyes of the other. Bitcoin, being anonymous, is perfect for it plus, it can be used as a gambling chip. A perfect package for them. It may also the reason why people buy crypto not as an investment but chips to a gamblong site.

For example, in 2016 the volume of online gambling was $45.86 billion (source: https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-gamblers-wagered-4-5-billion-btc-2014/), while the same article states that  roughly $4.5 billion worth of BTC has been wagered during 3 years prior to the date of posting. This means that crytpo gambling amounts to less than 5% of of the overall online gambling.

That's surprisingly low increase, as BTC gambling is much easier and less bureaucratic.
Also, I believe cryptocurrency investors have are usually interested in gambling, as many of them are looking for high return and high risk investments

Gambling and crypto casino's played a vital role for the adoption of crypto's.

Props to the gambling industry as they have been part of the spread of crypto's entirely. But stats won't be wrong, it may be low still the participation was too big enough to make crypto's popular and encouraged fiat gamblers to get into crypto gambling.

That is because people are slow in accepting new things even when those things are good for them. I can't believe that most gamblers are still playing on sites where games are not provably fair, and yet this is the situation we have in gambling world currently.


Also, I believe cryptocurrency investors have are usually interested in gambling, as many of them are looking for high return and high risk investments

I think that most of the cryptocurrency investors are aware of the fact that trying to make money with gambling is a very bad idea. Gambling should be treated as entertainment, and not as a way to make money, and fortunately only small percentage of gamblers don't understand this. Crypto investors may gamble with some coins, but mostly for the fun of it. They can't think of gambling as of high return and high risk investment, because they know that gambling is not an investment at all.
