Some are already running it in other countries and it was being legally implemented. But, for other countries project like crypto gambling is not allowed and it is even forbidden. This is the difference between the governments because they had acted differently on every system that has been introduced like cryptocurrency system.

Asking whether bitcoin casinos are legal is like asking whether is cannabis legal or not. Well, it depends on the specific laws of your country. If your country requires licences for them to run and to comply with anti-money laundering and know your customer laws and they don't then they're probably not technically legal or allowed to operate in that jurisdiction. I would check your own countries laws and what they require for an online gambling business to operate because nobody can give you a concrete answer without knowing where you reside.
Bitcoin casinos are clear in most countries that it is illegal,  because in any way all forms of gambling have the potential for crime,  especially facilities for money laundering,  but even if there are countries that legalize bitcoin casinos, only a small portion of the countries in the world.

I was searching all over the internet and could not find the answer.

Are crypto casinos legal ?

Do they need a license ?

Are US and China citizens allowed to play in that casinos ?

I'm talking about casinos that accept only cryptocurrencies. (No fiat money)

all forms of gambling in my country are illegal, so crypto casinos are clearly illegal,  but different things can happen in countries that legalize gambling,  but all types of gambling have the potential for crime,  such as fraud and other forms of crime,  we better avoid everything that  potentially harming us.

Cypto casino is legal, in every crypto casino there are terms and conditions that govern it and its players, and before you place any bets you have to first ensure that you have read and agreed with the terms and conditions. With these terms and conditions in place, it makes crypto gambling very legal and there is no reason to doubt it.
Do they need a license? Yes of course, the rules are not just limited, but extending to much bigger jurisdictions, yet, having a licensed casino has undeniable advantages, just like the benefits of proceeding transaction by banks. Hope this info help you out.

While online casinos continue to be increasingly popular activities throughout the world, there are still many countries where it is illegal to play online casino. Do you use cryptocurrency like bitcoin as the standard currency, the fact remains that it is still illegal in these countries.

Because of this, bitcoin casinos are only legal in countries where online gambling is legal. So it is important to ensure that you only play Bitcoin casinos from locations that allow you to do so by law.

It depends on the countries. Countries those have accepted crypto currencies, do not have or impose any issues on playing crypto casinos. But yes, citizens  who live in countries which have not yet accepted crypto currencies, are not allowed to play crypto casino legally until the country accepts crypto currencies. There are doors to play crypto casino without the knowledge of government. For examples; We have hotels, clubs and etc who free their customers with casino games either it would be fiats' or crypto's.

Regulations differ across the countries.

Some countries may have policies that don't even recognise bitcoin as a legitimate currency, which means that operating a bitcoin casino may be completely lawful. But I think that in most countries there is a need for a license before you are able to lawfully operate a casino, and with bitcoin related regulations tightening, I'd suggest to be extremely careful if you want to launch a bitcoin casino to avoid legal troubles. See a law professional about it.

As a player, again, it's different across countries. Some countries can have restrictions on online gambling activities even if it's bitcoin. Usually, you're able to search the relevant laws on google or even in the T&Cs of the gambling site. That's why you see the checkbox saying that "by signing up, you agree that gambling is legal in your jurisdiction".

A crypto casino or and ordinary casino would be illegal if the law of the country where you play prohibits it. Whether you use cryptocurrency or fiat money for betting is not the essential element for it to be illegal, what important is that, the law of the country where you played casino prohibits the playing of casiono.

 I think for any business to be classified as legitimate, a business license is required. The business must be registered and given an accreditation in order to perform at its outmost best. Casino is a not an exception. Whether with bitcoins or not, one must be aware  that gambling is a risky game and you can end up losing huge sums of money. If bitcoin is involved, and the casino is a registered one, then it is very legal.

I think cryptocurrency casinos are legal in some countries like the USA and Germany. Before I joined a Bitcoin online casino and I saw that so far, this casino is still active and has not been closed. So I think this is legal

Some portals limit their services to players who live in certain countries. United States gambling in any of its manifestations is strictly prohibited. How to bypass such a ban? To find this game portal, which was in the country where it is allowed and gambling, and bitcoin use. Casinos in Macau exist in a completely different legal climate than gambling houses in Las Vegas, London or Monaco. China has strict laws prohibiting citizens from exporting cash from the country.

Honestly depends on whether online casinos are allowed in a certain country or not. Some countries have licensing requirements as well, while others have more of a grey area when it comes to activity such as this since crypto may not be recognized as real money in their country.

There isn't really any sort of repercussion even if you do play at a casino that is unlicensed in your country, but it's definitely risky and the casino itself will be the primary target of any legal pursuit by the regulators.

If you're thinking of opening a crypto casino then you better do some research and consult a lawyer about potentially obtaining a license. If you're just playing, then I'd suggest picking the most trustworthy one instead of the "most licensed" one.
On bolded part, same preference i would say and being licensed doesnt mean you are already excluded on potential problems and it doesnt mean they are trustworthy but somehow a licensed gambling site would give you some assurance that you can still possibly able to make actions when you do experience problems towards them or anything goes wrong compared to those casinos or gambling sites that are still on grey area.
For you as a gambler, legal or not always be prepared on unexpected circumstances.

As what they say above it depends on which country you are if in your country using crypto is not legal then yes, you can play gambling without any worries about your government. Licensing in gambling is very important in your local country that's a part of the requirements before you can create a gambling site.
Luckily here our country we have a free decision regarding our bitcoin hold, besides they are now not taking any implementation in bitcoin or other cryptos, how much more in gambling.

Are crypto casinos legal ?

Depends on country you are in. Some countries prohibits online casinos and even casinos are illegal and some countries are allowing it. You should go search that on google and check what countries are allowing casinos that are accepting Bitcoin. If you have a problems regarding to gambling in your country, if they government is against casinos, you can still bypass it and you won't get traced by using VPN. Some gamblers doing it.

Do they need a license ?

Of course, they will be labelled as illegal when they don't show any licence or permit to operate. They will seized by the government if they don't show any licence and maybe imprisonment depends on bad it is.

I don't think US are against this type of casinos. But it still depends on casino. Crypto still legal on US. So i guess it safe to play there. Actually, many casinos there especially Nevada. Some casinos there are accepting crypto. Im not sure about China. China is now a hostile country when it comes to crypto. I don't think there's any casino accepting crypto. China is cracking down all crypto related business. So i think it's illegal there.

Casinos and online gambling are legal in many countries. And talking about bitcoin casinos, they are also operative in many countries. And those countries need to have complied with the licensing requirements in order to run the casinos. But that depends on the law of your country where you reside in and what is their modus operandi regarding the operation of casinos.

I'd rather suggest you to go through this article:

I think it depends on the government that responds to everything related to crypto, if it's legal... everything related to crypto will be legal except negative actions like harming the others people. Well most of it basically states that it's illegal, because anyway crypto is still in the midst of a decision between it accepted or opposed, moreover associated with gambling, for a country that hasn't legalized crypto... of course it's illegal, no chance to permission. But so far, I think crypto gambling/bitcoin casinos... it's more crowded in cyberspace till now, it could be an illegal thing but legalized by certain peoples wherever their live.

In country if you are playing gambling without a permit you will be in jail if they saw caught on act because it is illegal but in this case I think bitcoin casinos are illegal or it depends on where country are you from?
Your location is important for us to know if online gambling site is illegal in your place. Well, if its illegal better to do trading which is more traditional and you can really earn a lot over time. Gambling is risky, and if there is a law about it on your place, you've better to stop looking for that and save yourself from that greed.
