How's your gambling experience right now?

[Nrcewker]

Yes currently the transaction fees is damn high. If you want to do a small transaction, then you have to pay a large amount of transaction fees for it. Thank God, I always use to store some funds in the casino where I play the most. But to be honest yesterday there was an one-sided match where i wanted to bet more, but was restricted to deposit as the fees were very high. Nevertheless i am waiting for everything to be back to normal very soon, so that we can deposit and bet high on these easy games.

These lastest days I have been quite busy so I have had no time to log in and roll dices on Stake, so for now I have not dealt with this horrible high fee drama yet. If I wanted to deposit in any casino, it would be a different story, though.

I am mostly a casual and small gambler who would not deposit more than 10$ in Bitcoin at the time, which unfortunately means that it could not do it, if I wanted to.  

While I agree that moving to lighter chains for now it is a good enough solution, it is quite painful to see the Bitcoin network being artificially disabled this way by spam...

Same here. Having just $100 worth of BTC means half of it is meant for withdrawal fee. LN didn't help at all in this kind of attack to BTC. Its only good if you don't withdraw at all and just store your funds until the congestion calm down.

Its releiving for someone who are just using TRX as price seem stable right now. I bought TRX to send to a casino already.

Right, I am expecting to see a surge of gamblers stopping the use of Bitcoin to their deposits and withdrawals to move onto Litecoin, Tron and even second layer solutions for Bitcoin like LN.

Don't you mind me to ask what is the situation on the casinos in general with the withdrawval fees? The casinos you use have decided to increase the fees or keep it the same?

I personally believe that casinos should try to do the same as exchanges and accumulate withdrawal requests so they can carry it all with a single transacction, I am not sure how attractive that would be, though. It would imply to make gamblers wait for their money, specially if the volume of the casino is relatively small.

The transaction fee on Bitcoin is increasing day by day. It cost now 14$ for a low-priority transaction to 17$ for high priority transaction. I was planning to make a deposit today on my casino account until I notice the high fee on my electrum sent tab. The fee is almost 5% of my total bankroll that I was supposed to deposit. I decided to rest for now since I will be down immediately by 5% for a transaction that I don't know when will gonna be confirmed.

Is anyone still playing today with this high fee? I think those gamblers that leave funds in the casino are very happy that they didn't need to experience this fee drama.

In this that I am always ready , the reason why I keep funds inside my favorite gambling site Like Duelbits and Roobet because of cases like this.
actually I maintained my gambling expenses each time and only withdrawing when I win , so there will still balance in my account each time.
Now I can simply play  without having troubles in depositing , and in withdrawing ? I will simply need to convert my Bitcoin into other coins before taking it out..

This is the time when you really appreciate the roles of altcoins in gambling. The likes of Dogecoin (Doge) and Litecoin (LTC) and stablecoins are great options especially when spending relatively small amounts for gambling. I feel like we are going back in time with this rising Bitcoin fees. We're moving backwards. We're brought back to the time when the strongest argument against Bitcoin is its fees. Now it is still the same, if not worse, thanks to Ordinals.

Indeed. If you still want to gamble but high fees of Bitcoin are hurting your funds, don't fret because many casinos are accepting altcoins for deposit/withdrawal with low fees. Hence, this is not a problem at all, you can still gamble anytime you want by using altcoins of your choice.

In my case, it's been a while since I last play. Good thing I checked my email because 2 casinos where I (often gamble before) sent me a promotional bonus (free spins and free chips) that I can use to play again on their sites. It's their way to attract me back on playing so I'll grab this offer while Bitcoin fees are quite high.

Agreed to this. The only reason why many gamblers here preferred using Bitcoin over altcoins before this NFT on ordinal is because most of the gamblers here are using their signature earnings which is on Bitcoin to directly deposit it to the casino rather than converting it first to altcoins.

I believe casino that have a built-in exchange on it is in demand right now since most of the gamblers that have Bitcoin on their wallet can convert their asset to altcoins when they withdraw out of the casino.

Luckily, those who receive payments from the signature campaign directly in their casino account so they can immediately play when the money has been credited to our account, but what will still be a problem is when we have to make a withdrawal unless the casino allows players to make withdrawals with any coins available as an option at the casino.

At duelbits casino players can make withdrawals with coins that are different from their coin deposits, but not all casinos allow this unless there is an exchange feature. I'm lucky enough to still have funds on one of the sports betting websites so I can still bet, especially on the big matches that will be held today, because it sucks when we can't bet on big match or play just because of huge network fees while we only have BTC in our wallet.

I think both Ethereum and Bitcoin transaction is getting too costly. Its sickening. I think best options out there to use Tron mainly and/or bnb. These are safer ways. (Its funny Tron has only one use case in later months and its this, another topic). I think crypto casinos should incentivize depositing more amount of money. That would mean they would make more money, they would cut losses of their customers and they would help Bitcoin network to relax. I see no other way.

[Alisha-k]

I had long time swapped from using Bitcoin transactions to binance, quidax and BNB, I still wonder why a lot of persons still use Bitcoin even with the high charge, and come to think of it, what could be the reason for this increase in transactions charge

just got the answers I needed, Bitcoin is having a difficult time because of the congestion- so many persons are trying to access the platform and thereby causing delay in transactions and making the charges higher than usual

[Crypt0Gore]

Avoid using Bitcoin to gamble for now, unless the gambling platform supports Bitcoin Lightening Network which is rare, even only limited numbers of crypto exchanges supports deposit and withdrawal of Lightening Bitcoin, now it's time to move back to Tron Network or Lite coin, I am sure that majority of those online gambling platforms supports more than just Bitcoin and Ethereum deposits so do your own research on your favorite online gambling platforms first.

There are some new gambling platform that only accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum deposits for gambling on their platforms, if there are no big gamblers on there platform they will feel the heat of less activity, a smart casino will have add more payment options from now on.

We are not even in a bull market yet and transaction fee has gotten this high, I wasn't expecting this costly fee from Bitcoin this sooner, it's almost the same thing with Ethereum and it's sickening.

[blockman]

I've checked the transfer high priority and suggestion by my wallet and that's around $19, dude that is like higher than what I'm about to send. I have to stop all my necessary transfers since they'll be fine if I wouldn't do it for now. Hoping that by tomorrow things will be good and these fees will have to lie low, good thing my campaign will just have to credit it to our accounts and we've got a choice to gamble if ever we want to.
But for most, I can feel the pain of having to endure all of those transfer fees because if you have no choice and you want to gamble by transferring bitcoin, you have to do it. Unless you'll choose to deposit with altcoins that are not affected with these fees.

People use bitcoin usually because they want to invest to save their money in their wallet, the network problem is jammed if I'm not mistaken because there is a buildup of transactions from the BRC 20 trend and the coin meme is also pepe, just look at the ethereum network it's also the same when coin pepe lots of fomo comes gas fees for ethereum transactions are also increasing, that's what bitcoin lacked until now when the network is busy and many transactions are pending it will take time for it to complete. so it's best to stop to make transactions to help solve everything.

To be honest, I'm also a little worried about withdrawing my bitcoin from the casino because the site hasn't fully regulated high transaction fees so if they still use low transaction fees then my transaction will be delayed and stuck until it's confirmed by the network, so it's best to avoid bitcoin transactions at this time. the way to be confirmed quickly is to use high fees because that's the only way our money is confirmed by the network.

[Saisher]

Is anyone still playing today with this high fee? I think those gamblers that leave funds in the casino are very happy that they didn't need to experience this fee drama.

I have no issue at all I've been using altcoins like Doge, Trx, and USDT on casinos I'm playing, there's no logic in using Bitcoin at this point in time, its like losing a big portion of your deposit just to play when other altcoins can offer fees lower than $1, this is the reason why casinos accept altcoins so gamblers will have a lot of options so they can continue to play, without thinking of the high fees.
High fees stop the flow of money for casinos if Bitcoin is the only option for deposit.

Good for you though but this current crisis is not a new case for me as I have experience similar case of fee rise but on this preference it was fiat currency related. As of early this year, there was shortage of cash flow in my nation which lead to high increment of fee for withdrawal of cash by local terminals and this restricted and folded  a lot  of business and throughout this period fiat related casino were closing down due to the high fee and this prevented so many folks from gambling on physical casino and this time around same similar issue has come up with bitcoin and for three days now I have not gamble because of the high fee attached to the actual payment and am not ready to waste any coin just to bet on a game that's still under probability of winning and losing so I rather gamble localy for the being till the storm dies down.

Still have some deposits for the month based on last month's budget but I will not pay these high fees if it is exhausted. The issue is that I am not comfortable using other coins apart from Bitcoin for my crypto stake. I have decided to halt all comes of Bitcoin transactions until this attack is over. It is quite painful but I have to decide to avoid spending more than my budget. This issue will affect the finance of some gambling firms but they can give clients other reliable transaction option. Some of my friends are suggesting I switch to a fiat gambling site but I also have to weigh my options. Nevertheless, my earnest desire is that this issue be testified as soon as possible.

High fees stop the flow of money for casinos if Bitcoin is the only option for deposit.

most of the gamblers nowadays prefer to use other coins to be able to gamble to avoid traffic jams and high transaction fees, especially for small gamblers. surely small gamblers and big gamblers will reconsider making deposits using bitcoin when transaction fees are very high and gambling platforms understand this problem so they add several other types of coins to avoid problems like this.
a lot of gamblers nowadays who are moving to other coins to stay afloat can gamble in crypto casinos.

[Cantsay]

I think this situation will become normal within few days when the transactions rate will be low and transaction fees will automatically come down but yes at this time it's hard to deposit btc.The problem is for small gamblers who can't afford this fees with small deposit but yes they can shift to other coins because playing through them is fine to save fees and most of them are also confirmed fast.But hope fees come down and we deposit btc to casino for gambling.

I highly doubt that it will return to normal in a matter of days; if you look at the mempool and look at some transactions, you'll notice that some transactions are worth nothing, which means that there are some people out there who are deliberately sending dust and spamming the network, which has resulted in the current network congestion, and it's very unlikely that they'll stop this barbaric act anytime soon.

As for Op, as I previously stated, it is best if we switch to a widely accepted altcoin for the time being, and then return to our beloved BTC once the situation has stabilized.
