Are you guys started to gambling with cryptos or fiat money?

[peter0425]

I started with fiat money, before cryptos, but only in sports bets, but after I found about cryptos I started to gambling in online casinos
And I prefer to bet with BTC, it's easier to play in any website I want

Before cryptos, it was hard to bet in my country because we have some strict laws against casinos and the IPs usually were blocked

I believe majority of us here in crypto stated betting using fiat because cryptocurrency gambling started I guess almost 10 years ago after bitcoin was created (though bitcoin wasn’t the first cryptocurrency created)

Casinos are the most popular gambling place that I think more than half of us here had already use before they known bitcoin,and for me until now it’s more enjoyable playing with fiat in real casino than Online gambling because the ambiance and the people around you brings confidence while playing

Started with crypto in sports betting, later I joined steemit, gambled there with steem/sbd on magic-dice (which is now dead).

I had initially gambled eight the crypto and after the rise of btc I realised I am in more loss than just the lost happened in gambling . After that I have stopped gambling with btc and few top altcoins now . Only if I feel I gamble with some random Altcoin which I have it and does not hold any future value or else Fiat is the best for me .

I started gambling with fiat money. I remembered that in the past, sometimes I bet with my friend when the World Cup comes. We choose which team who can pass in big sixteen, big four, and then which team who can be at the final. Besides the World Cup, we are a gamble on F1 and MotoGP too because that sport was excited to us, and sometimes we watch together.

But after I knew crypto, I don't too often to gamble with my friends because I have another option for playing gambling and I don't have to use my fiat money to bet. My friends follow what I did too, but yes, I missed that moment. Now, we only gather in the cafe without placing bets, but if we want to place the bets, I will ask my other friend to do that for me.

I am very sure that every single gambler that we have here all started with fiat initially until cryptocurrency probably got introduced to gambling industry also. I remember the time in gambling that we could only gamble with fiat, it was really difficult for so many of us, especially considering the cost, it was kind of expensive but crypto has really made things much more easier for most of us and I doubt if there are still players using fiat that much in gambling because everyone now gambles with crypto, doge coin being the most affordable gambling coin is the favorite of most players now

If there are users of fiat for gambling, it would be common with offline casinos, that would be more convenient for them.

I started playing gambling using fiat because we all know that there is no cryptocurrencies before but now that we have cryptos it is more convinient now to play gambling using cryptocurrencies. I play gambling a while ago and I just lost all my crypto. LOL. But it is okay, it is just the amount that I can afford to lose cause I know how to use/manage my cryptos.

[Malsetid]

I don't think anyone started out gambling with crypto. All of us in a way fitst placed bets with real  money one way or another. But if given a choice now, i'd still probably opt to waste my fiat. I was playing dice with crypto back when I was just starting to know about bitcoin. And looking back, i could've just held on to those and enjoyed the rising value. I've probably spent around .3 or .4 btc with dice back then.

I started with cryptos... i went a couple of times to local casinos with some friend, but at that moment i didn't get into gambling at all. When i meet the online casinos i join to the gambling world, was great to see how they give you money to test the casino and let you run with your profit if you have good luck.

I also began gambling with fiat but I used to gamble in physical casinos and then I stopped gambling because the minimum bet was too high for my tastes, time passed and I did not began to gamble again until I found bitcoin, gambling with bitcoin offers many advantages like the ability to gamble anywhere around the world, not having to go through KYC or being able to bet very small amounts of money which will be impossible to do in a fiat casino.

That is right because many of us have been gambling for a long time ago, and that's why we use fiat money. In that time, we don't know about cryptocurrency so our choice will come by fiat. Although there is a gambling website, we still use fiat, and we need to verify the account before we can play on that site.

As you said, cryptocurrency help gambler to playing gambling with ease. We can visit a gambling website, register, deposit many coins, and then we can start playing any games. We don't need to verify if we don't want because we have so many gambling websites which don't have verification for every gambler. That will make gamblers comfortable to playing gambling.

But there is still offline casino which has their members to play the games in their places.

I started gambling with fiat deposits, but just like the OP I had very hard time playing gambling in my country and not many gambling websites were available because of a government ban. and now I am more interested in using cryptocurrency because it is more anonymous and now there are many gambling websites over the world that accept deposits using cryptocurrency which is very convenient for me.
I am very careful in choosing web casino gambling because I do not want to go against and deal with the law.

[cabalism13]

I've never gambled with fiat.

I really thought this was a ridiculous thing, but as far far as I know there are just a few people who never tried it, not even once and even with just a single penny,... Though it wasn't really hard to bet, besides its money that you must have in the first place.

But seems like all of us here started with the same thing (fiat), there wasn't any online gambling back then so it really is possible.

As in my country too, you cannot gamble carelessly. Because it is forbidden.
In my opinion, betting using fiat is not the right choice. It's easier to use crypto for now if you want to gamble. With so many online crypto gambling, it makes it easy for me to play every gambling game available now.

If lottery counts I started betting with fiat long time before I made my first roll on either freebitco.in or PrimeDice, I can't remember exactly which one of those two it was. But if we compare the amounts wagered before and after I started gambling with crypto, there is a big difference in favor of crypto gambling. During my whole life I have spent on lotteries around $50, definitely not more than that, while I wagered 1.5 BTC on PD alone.

I play online gambling with cryptos and Ive never play gambling online with the use of fiat money but in tradional gambling I use fiat money.  My country now are still okay to olay gambling through online but last few hours ago I saw a news that they have possibility that online gambling in my country will be strict or not allowed which is not I want to happen but it depends to our president.

Apparently, almost everyone started gambling with fiat money in small casinos in real life then the gambling industry got more developed, more people engaged in online betting sites, crypto is just a new product, helping players have more safety and comfort. But maybe a lot of people are having some regret after gambling with crypto, especially bitcoin, I also have a similar regrets when using Bitcoin for gambling, and when looking at the current price, I can only say oh my God, dare not continue to use crypto for gambling, too easy to cause regret

That is, indeed, true. Since fiat is already here since we were born and crypto is just new, then we surely gamble with fiat first. And even now that crypto is already here, I still gamble with fiat occasionally with friends or whenever I feel like it, especially when I have the money. I haven't tried to gamble with crypto yet for I don't have enough of it. I'm still earning and I cannot afford to lose my crypto. At least, not now.

I am not really into gambling I just started I get involved and start investing in Cryptocurrency, it started in when I was still working in faucets, some faucets have dice game-integrated, so you can double your faucet earnings after I moved out to faucets I started doing Dice game in some online crypto casinos.

[btc78]

When online gambling was first introduce in my place crypto wasn’t there’s yet so basically I played with fiat first ,actually the online gambling wayback is not as accessible as now because to play online you need to go in their station in order to satisfy your lust of playing
Until after few years it Become available in mobile until couple years ago when bitcoin was introduced to me and from then I do betting using crypto’s until now though I only spend small time and money for gambling’s as I prioritize my family needs

Which country you are from?

Simple google search will give you what is really happening in your country with gambling.

But even if your country restricted playing online gambling you are still free to gamble with cryptos because you no need to pass KYC while playing with cryptos on most of the gambling sites.

Seems like when I use cryptocurrencies to play gambling is make me comfortable to play instead when I played gambling and come to gambling place. But that the both place have an adventage and disadventage IMHO. When I play through crypto I can't make myself keep anynomously and there is no anyone will know about me. But I played with fiat and come to gambling place I always hide myself to anyone who know me. As for the adventage to play gambling with money fiat I can keep my self to avoid a huge lose because I can hold my money on my hand but with cryptocurrencies I really hard to quite my bet although I found a huge loses.

I've only ever betted with fiat currency one or twice as well. I don't like to submit KYC as I don't trust many sites with my personal info, and I'd rather not give out my credit card information to any gambling site because leaks of data do happen. Betting and gambling with cryptocurrency's just overall easier besides the process of acquiring crypto which can be a bit difficult, but I find things are much smoother with deposits, withdrawals and such with most crypto casinos. If you're exceptionally worried about your IP address being tracked down, you could always use a VPN to offset that.

I don’t think anyone is ever happy to go through the KYC process. It was one of the reason many left fiat gambling for crypto but it has become really unfortunate that some gambling site are now asking for KYC. I don’t know if you have noticed this with any crypto site, I have and it has become an issue of concern to me.
 
I was to play on a site {name withheld} yesterday, and the next thing I saw was for me to fill in some of my personal information of which my passport was also needed, it was really so annoying. Had to leave and until now, am still wondering if that was a crypto site because the objective of cryptocurrency to me has been forfeited.
