Online Cock Fighting

[GreatArkansas]

Last week someone shared me gamble where you can bet on cock fighting online. But on this platform we only use our national currency to cash in will convert it credits where 1PHP : 1 credits.
It's just sad because they don't accept Bitcoin. I having hardtime to cash in/cash out by going to any banks or remmitance.

Anyone here tried to gamble with cock fighting?
And maybe you know some websites that accepting Bitcoin.

I have read news about something like this which is called e-sabong [1]

They have arrested 16 people who were involved in the following operation. I'm not sure how the law is right now since this article is dated April 25, 2018, which may or may not be updated but it is illegal according to that. It is summarized that, people who live locally cannot bet on the website. They may have a license but not to the point where local people can.


It would be cool if someone were to create gambling online where it accepts Bitcoin. The people who owns that website might not be aware of that right now that you could use Bitcoin as the currency. They might be the first online cockfighting website that accepts it.

I am not into cockfighting but I'm sure there are people who are into cockfighting will be interested to book a bet here, we have horseracing outlet, so why not online cockfighting, but this will not attract regular cockfighting aficionados, they love the thrill when they are on the arena because of the noise and how the bet is made.

Only if this is allowed would I say I think it is interesting
I did become questioned when I seen they wont take BITCOIN it would make sense for it to  
HOw nice would be to contact site owner and make a suggestion for him to except CRYPTOS?

This is really amazing because I know cock fighting is only traditional because in my place they have that and having a online cock fighting is a good Idea anyway Im from the Philippines and for sure rhat site is from our country because I see the PESO. Maybe this week I try this Im actually not playing cock fighting because every place is crowded because of a lot of player who wants to bet but because of this it is easy to bet and win.

I've seen cock fights directly, where betting will be done over the Cocks. There were different types of fight in this nail fight, knife fight and so on. This is the first time coming across such a gambling service that has listed cock fight. Maybe slowly these sites will also start using bitcoin when there is more suggestions from common people.

Although good for those cannot come to a cockfighting arena, I prefer watching the action live and betting live too, I like to hear the noise of the Kristos and the betting public, their hand signals and of course, there is something in the noise, it's louder than a basketball or boxing game and people can even hear it outside the arena.

I don't think that there's a gambling site that accepts bitcoin as payment for cock-fighting, or even providing this kind of game. There's also a discussion about cock fighting here,

Cock owners and bettors will prefer to go in the arena than bet online, cockfighting is very much different from other gambling forms, they want to make noise and they are more accustom to betting inside the arena, betting is done through hand signals, and surprisingly it's very effective, you have to be very familiar in cockfighting betting to be able to do that.
I'm pretty sure bettors, would like to feel how to bet that way.

But some are much comfortable doing this kind of gambling in cock fighting, especially the friend of mine who introduced me this cock fighting.
Maybe if you are newbie in cockfighting, actual fight on the arena is much exciting but if you are already tired especially the expenses of your transportation.
He also said that the odds in the arena is much better than online betting, not sure about that.

I think that cock fighting is a sport where not many gamblers are playing mostly,in fact it is a somewhat strange thing to bet on but I remember for New Year Eve when I was working in the Balkans some years ago in Albania there were people going to see seacock fighting each other and betting on them and this was not illegal at that time.

It is a traditional gambling in my country especially in my area. There are still many people do cock fighting against other people but they do it secretly because it is forbidden in my country. Here this cock fighting is a well known to called as "SABUNG AYAM". Almost similar with the one shared by OP which is called by "SABONG". I do believe gamblers who like to bet on cock fighting will still prefer to bet offline while they are watching it live in front of their own eyes as it will be more interesting than betting and watching it online.

On the contrary, I'm a old school so when I used to play cock fighting last ten years ago, I would go to sports arena and bet with my fellow cock fighting affionados.

But with the advent of on-line sports betting games, I'm not surprised that country like Philippines are going to stream this game because I know a lot of Pinoys are addicted to this game. So yes, I might try and get back to the groove but I'm also interested as to whether some online site will accept BTC as this is not well known games across the globe.

I had an account of this online cockfighting betting 2 years ago but the operation have somehow stopped, i think it is illegal to operate such kind of activity in our locality. It is really convenient to bet online but the essence of the sports of cockfighting is not gone. I would still go to cockfighting arena and maybe bet sometimes online if it still exist.

I am too is searching for a gambling website that has cockfighting and offer bitcoin as a medium but unfortunately i have found none. With my own view, i think it is very hard to integrate blockchain/bitcoin into cockfighting because the operation of a cockfight is complicated.

I love to go to local 'sabungan", atmosphere is very different and ecstatic to see those cock fighting to their last breath. So I don't think that I will go and play online if this is available though, and for those who haven't go and try this game specially for Filipinos out there, I would urge to give it a try. 

[Haunebu]

This is a pretty bad way to gamble if you ask me. Why injure innocent animals for our own pleasure? This is like watching gladiators kill themselves in the Colosseum which is entertaining, but horrible for the fighters.

Also, you cannot exactly research these things extensively when compared to researching something like sports matches meaning that this is like playing roulette. I have no interest in such games whatsoever.

[YuginKadoya]

Pretty much Cockfighting is very popular here in the Philippines and I think seeing something like this online had made this kind of gambling theme very popular and trying to pick up the pace in the ever-changing gambling style that we have right now, but if they are not accepting Bitcoin, for now, I guess there may be a time that they eventually will, Or maybe someone can introduce them to Bitcoin by contacting the developer of that site and introducing him to Bitcoin as one of a convenient payment method.

[FlightyPouch]

Did not hear anything about this before, thanks for sharing this though. I will try this site and maybe tell this to my friends and they might know other online cock fighting sites that I can share here too. I just hope this is a legitimate site, there are some sites that my friends told me that the fight happening is not live, it is not cockfighting though.

I am sure that cockfighting is traditional gambling which is available in the Asian country. I see that on the television, but I think I am not interested in betting because it is better not to use the animal for gamble. Since it's a traditional game, I think they don't know about bitcoin yet, but if the game become popular, then I guess we will see that game will use cryptocurrency for placing the bets.

It's just sad because they don't accept Bitcoin. I having hardtime to cash in/cash out by going to any banks or remmitance.

Maybe soon they might include Bitcoin or if many gamblers will request that option to be added
I have not tried gambling with cockfighting before but I already watched cockfighting in a big arena, they say that betting goes up thousands of dollars, there are a lot of backyard cockfighting in the Philippines and this is illegal but if held in a big arena they call it derby and it's legal.
