would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC?

My country prohibits Bitcoin and Altcoin trading as well as online gambling and here I still play regularly and have had no problems until now. So as long as there are VPNs and exchanges, I don't really care what the government says for cryptocurrencies. This is my asset and it is up to me to be able to use it for my various purposes. Will I be penalized even though I still use Bitcoin and do gambling? on what grounds? is it because of the law? that's very funny, as long as the police can still be bribed I won't be afraid LOL.

Still, I'm gonna play but not on online casinos as I'm not a type of a casino guy but rather on sports betting using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is decentralized so banning it by a country doesn't matter as the day might come that it will be adopted by your own country so it would be good that you have some coins in your wallet that will make you rich in the future, so yeah i will try to accumulate (hopefully) my BTC through gambling but of course with a ton of discipline.

Is there really a country like this? like banning trading instead of gambling? Because it's very weird, but let's say the government does it in our country. I am not a heavy gambler, so for sure I do withdraw it all and put it into other investments, as for sure if I put it all in a casino, I'll just lose it. Also, if they ban crypto all over the country, then I think all people will withdraw it, or there are some of us who do belong on it who continue to use it in the country but only in a quiet way so that we don't get caught.

When you say 'online gambling' I understand you mean cryptocurrencies. That being the case, I agree with my colleague:

There should be another option on the poll
*Doing nothing at all. 

I would simply HOLD on my HW until I could travel at a bullish time in the market and partially convert the bitcoin into something I could bring back to my country legally, or even if my holdings were considerable, I could consider moving to another more crypto friendly country.

Is there really a country like this? like banning trading instead of gambling?

No, there isn't.

[Darker45]

I'll be withdrawing my coins from trading platforms for sure. That's the first reaction because there's an upcoming ban. I'll keep them in a cold wallet. But it doesn't mean I'm limited to what I can do with it. If crypto online gambling is legally allowed, why would I not take a little of it and play in a casino, or use some of it to buy game credits or other goods and services? I don't understand why I'm given with an either-or option when I can easily do both, or even more.

[bayu7adi]

I will engage in both, gambling and cashing out. I don't want to lose the sole purpose of cryptocurrency when it was banned in my country by the government. Besides, gambling can be quite enjoyable to fill my leisure time, as long as I can set limits and avoid becoming addicted.

As for cashing out, it's to enjoy the profits I've gained from cryptocurrency. I also need money to maintain my vehicles every month, and the profits I earn while in the realm of cryptocurrency are tremendously helpful in that regard.

Surely, there will be countries that strive to preserve Bitcoin's existence on the internet because it represents a crucial legacy for the future development of the financial world, driven by the revolutionary blockchain technology it brings forth.
Even El Salvador is continuously striving to improve by embracing Bitcoin as a part of its country.

[ethereumhunter]

I will look for other exchanges to keep trading and maybe I will still gamble less even though gambling is legal in my country. Waiting for the government to change its attitude can also be done especially when it closes all access to domestically and abroad exchanges.

If there is no clarity from the government with the regulations, I think it's better to withdraw and store the coins in a separate wallet that we can control ourselves. And if the government closes the exchange, our coins are still safe and we don't need to do anything.

How much coins are we talking about? If we are going to go with how much we currently have in our Bitcoin wallets, then no. As much as I love gambling using the coins I have in my wallet is too big for me to gamble, besides, the government banning BTC in the country does not mean the value of BTC is gone, I can just use FIAT if I want to gamble on an online casino.

I don't know how can you accumulate coins by gambling. Even the best gamblers could lose their coins.
I just don't play gambling games with the sole intention of making more money and accumulating more coins.
If a crypto ban occurs in my country, I would just keep my coins in my cold wallet.
Nobody could find out that I have a cold wallet, that is full with coins. The government officials aren't that smart(and they don't care that much).
I could sell my coins for fiat money by using a decentralized exchange located outside my country.
It's practically impossible for the government to change it's position after a cryptocurrency ban has been imposed.

[Kakmakr]

Well, in most cases trading increase your profit and gambling reduce your profit, so it might not be a good strategy change to gamble it. There are other P2P methods to buy and sell crypto currencies, which will be a better alternative to gambling. 

Also, governments might lock down on exchanges.... but there will always be Bitcoin friendly countries, where you will be able to spend those coins on holidays or to buy virtual goods or services. (Example : Pay for a VPN with Crypto currencies)

Bitcoin cannot be stopped, because not all governments work together.

Absolutely as I can cash in the Bitcoin through many direct exchanges to credit/debit card that offer this service online.There are a lot of them and you can go to beschange website to check them out.The government has no way how to ban Bitcoin as we have Russia who is a huge country and technologically capable in the IT arena who couldn't put it in place despite trying a couple of times.I would change them through the exchanges as I live now in a country where Bitcoin is not regulated,it is irregular or regular depending on government officials,they are given free choice but they cannot judge why I got x amount of money from an exchange as they cannot go up to them,they are not that smart here.

This is very easy, I will keep holding my coins, in your scenario the government of my country is banning the trade of cryptocurrencies but not the act of holding them, so there is not any need to take the risk of just gambling for the sake of it, and instead I could store them until the politicians of my country either changed their mind, or the value of my coins was so high that it would allow me to move to a different country and then sell my coins there.

I myself will still keep tokens that have a bright future like BTC to be used as investment assets even though the state prohibits their use but keep in mind that the state also cannot know who and where someone owns or keeps tokens like BTC for long term investment.
But for some tokens like Altcoins maybe I will use them as betting capital in the crypto gambling industry because then some of these Altcoins still have the opportunity to multiply even though the risk is also big because it can also be entirely lost but the name of gambling is always at risk so whatever the risk is i will accept.
I'm sure most of the gamblers here are also using crypto, whether they be investors or traders, but when faced with the same case as you said, their choices will be different.

Even if the government ban crypto in my country, they can't stop me from accumulating more bitcoin or holding my bitcoin, i can't just withdraw all my coin and gamble with, when I know that I can lose my money in gambling at any moment, when gambling their is no assurance of winning in gambling, I can withdraw all my coin to my gambling account then I will lose everything. I will rather use illegal way to accumulate and store my bitcoin rather than withdrawing all to my gambling account.

Fun fact in my country, the government ban gambling since long time ago but what is happening in the actual life? Many people in my country still do gambling almost every single day in online fiat casinos.

I don't really know the country that you are from, but most Islamic countries already ban gambling in their country, so citizens are not allowed to gamble, but people in the country are still gambling, the government can only ban gambling in the country, but citizens will always look for ways to gamble, the same thing applies to bitcoin trading, the government can only ban it, but citizens will look for ways to trade bitcoin.

the alternative way will be widely used. Even gambling has been banned from the start but using a VPN will overcome all that, even though using a free VPN is risky they still use it. Just like BTC if it is really banned and blocked then the same thing will be done. But for now, BTC may be prohibited as a legal tender but allowed as a trading tool.

It depends on what I've been doing in the past. If I am a gambler who used to gamble regularly using Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, I will surely continue to do that, but if I have never gambled in my life or maybe I do it once in a blue moon, I don't think I would waste my money like that because even if the government has banned trading, it doesn't mean that my Bitcoin has become worthless, I can always keep them in my wallet and wait for the future.

Besides, if government bans cryptocurrency trading or usage of cryptocurrency, they will ban access to every single platform that involves cryptocurrencies, so there will likely be no gambling platforms as well that will be accepting cryptocurrencies after something like that.

I can lose my Bitcoin if I gamble it so it's not a good idea if the Government decided to ban crypto trading. There's an alternative way if you really want to keep your Bitcoin (like what others already pointed out here) thus to gamble it is not only the option.

Anyway, if this happened in our country I might convert my Bitcoin to cash because I don't want to go against the rules of the Government. Then if I want to gamble, I will just use fiat as currency. Good thing this scenario is unlikely to happen here so it's not something to be worried about.

If they make ban on cryptocurrency in general terms they are likely to also extend this to gambling as well, but as long as the gambling platforms you will be using will not disclose your KYC to the government or reveal your identity for them to track you down, you can continue to gamble with cryptocurrency but always have it at the back of your mind that you're engaging in something risky, or you may just go for a no KYC casino if you think you need more privacy and also avoid the use of a centralized exchange in this case, use a decentralized wallet to make deposit into your casino wallet and not from an exchange wallet to the casino wallet.

I have a simple way when my country declares crypto currency completely illegal and gambling sites are allowed then I deposit all my crypto currency in my casino sites. I will meet my daily needs by withdrawing from casino sites when I need to.

However, if the casino sites do not have good security, then I will have to convert the cryptocurrency into my country's money and deposit it in the bank.
If again the government changes its mind and declares Bitcoin fully legal then I will withdraw all my money from the bank and redeposit it in Bitcoin.

Government will just ban the use of crypto and not singling out trading if they want to keep away their people to use crypto currency. There’s a lot of online casino that accepts fiat some of them have a built-in exchange.

In this scenario, There’s nothing change with playing online casino since player can play without any restrictions since the government still allows it. I don’t see the argument here since crypto trading is only ban while online gambling is still legal.
