why should there be any?!
wikipedia is not a place to advertise businesses, and i have never seen a list of any other businesses there either so i don't know why you think such list for "bitcoin casinos" should exist! there already are many other websites that list them with feedback, ranking,... which i think is more than enough.

Dont you think that it is better to moved it to gambling discussion board as it is about bitcoin casinos?
Coming up to your question, I dont think wikipedia should have the page like what you want. As previous user said, there are many review sites with this kind of list of casinos that accept bitcoin.
Googling it is more than enough and you'll find so many websites for references.

Wikipedia is not a place to encourage people or to use as promotion. only great things can get a place there. for example, the MtGox Exchange which crashed in 2013 is on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox and for casinos like the famous Satoshi Dice are on the separate wiki called bitcoin wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Dice.
You don't have to do anything, as long as they do their work properly they can someday be in bitcoin wiki.

I don't see the problem with such a list. This would direct more exposure towards the crypto gambling websites which is a plus in my opinion. Wikipedia promotes freedom of speech.

I would be willing to help out op if he garners enough support in this aspect.

It would be generous of you to start one.. And this thread will be best received in the gambling board of the forum.
But beside it not being in Wikipedia you can just use the Google Search option and get some direction to your answer which you can sieve from

since Wikimedia Foundation is located in US, it probably operates under US law too. and as far as i know online gambling is mostly illegal in US so there is no way they would list casinos that are unregulated and use bitcoin as payment so that people can gamble there!

Google can provide you a lot of sources, lists, and reviews about casinos and I don't think wikipedia is the right place for it. This should be moved to gambling discussion section, not bitcoin related.

Being an active user of Wikipedia, I would say that it is not possible to create such an article there. Such a list will be immediately flagged as "promotion" or "advertising" and after reviewing by the admins it will be deleted. Hence I would say that there is no use in spending our precious time in creating such an article or even a sub-section of an existing article.

An indexed might be good but looking and finding casinos that accept bitcoin is not that pain in the a**.

A simple effort to search on it via our favorite search engine is enough.

Any other purpose/s why it should be necessary?

He might like to have a life to be on very easy way. Typing 6 letter word "Google" wont really cost an arm or leg.
Why do people are lazy enough to search up things and everything they do like to be automated or simply spoonfeed?

Would definitely be good for exposing more people to cryptocurrency based gambling as many people are still not aware that this exists, but I don't see this happening anytime soon still. Wikipedia currently only has a tiny section for online casinos which can be viewed here (click for link), and the only one I know out of the three that accepts Bitcoin is Bet365, and I can find only one match for the word cryptocurrency in the Online Gambling article on there (click for link). Seems like they're not too keen on adding lists in the first place as well.

Yes, he could've thought of making it in a much easier way. Even with this list these people won't gets satisfied, because they'll try to find something missing, else he is gonna get into gambling for the very first time. Anyhow congrats on the effort being made in support to Wikipedia.

I think we should not abuse Wikipedia to promote the bitcoin casinos. All players want it, so the platform they are using may not be noticed by too many people, so limiting promotion on popular platforms is a great thing. Gambling is not a great thing so don't recommend it on Wikipedia.

I dont see anything wrong with this one, in fact it can also contribute to people who search for cryptocurrency and they will be aware with this kind of casino which exist in the crypto market. Just make sure that the details you have been listed on the page is pure facts because there's a lot of fake news out there.

It sounds like a great idea, with a list of crypto casinos, and with a with notes if there are any serious problems with withdraws. I think this list would be a great guideline to find crypto casinos.

That's a good idea, but a directory is just enough but if you want to create a site like similar to wikipedia then you should create a testimony because there are some gambling sites that have issues on payment, and withdrawal and betting.

I think the OP should create one Wikipedia page about casinos that accept bitcoin so people can add more website to that page.
Soon, if many people can add recommended gambling website, the public will know that cryptocurrency can be used for playing gambling.
But we need to explain to them that playing gambling can make them get an addict and they must know the risk of playing gambling.
Besides creating the Wikipedia page, I think it's better if we can add the games that available in each site in the short explaining.

Everyone is busy with increasing their post-count and no one seems to have noticed my post. Let me clarify:

1. Wikipedia articles are constantly monitored.
2. Although you can make edits to the existing articles, these edits will be reviewed (especially of you are a new user)
3. In case the reviewer finds that you are indulging in promotion or advertising, then he will revert the edits and ban you from Wikipedia
4. If you are creating a new article instead of editing an existing article, then most probably that article will be nominated for "quick deletion" after review by the moderators
5. Your account, as well as the IP that you used for making the edit will be banned.

Why not just create a thread here and update everytime instead of Wikipedia and let the community contribute? I don't think it will be restricted by admin/mods. Just dedicate some time to update. It would be nice if someone search on the internet and the first page to appear is the thread on bitcointalk.
