I think its not illegal to use bitcoin in betting if your country or government doesn't says its illegal to use bitcoin.
It has been answered by others above your post so by negligence of knowing the rule on your country if they banned or it is illegal to gamble with bitcoin or not even with bitcoin, you must be responsible for it.

And also the online casino you're using is also registered or they have the permit to operate.
There are casino's that are not registered, why? In some countries they are not focusing with online business entities so they are free of operating and doesn't need a permit to operate but this only applies in some.
Illegal or not we should still abide the rules being set out by the government and we do know the consequences if they do caught us on doing prohibited things but still there are people who do resist and do still play no matter what. Each country do have their own corresponding laws and views towards online bitcoin gambling. Some are on neutral side some do already have strict prohibitions.

I don't think it will illegal.

i think gambling if have no permit ot operate either online or landbase is illegal, need to get an government license to operate, become legal. and i think thats the reason winner from bitcoin betting need to registered to kyc for anti money loundering, but i'm not agree for the kyc because they have an disadvange for us risky the identity of veryone are not secured.

I think betting bitcoin is not said legal it is up to the person own judgment that if they said that it is illegal then may some of the people will criticism it and they will against of it. betting in all currencies are illegal in our country but it may allowed in other countries So it is not the fact that bitcoin betting is illegal. In the modern times people preferences are changed they are doing more advanced ways to make money so now the betting in bitcoin is also a source of income.
Some of the country is allows bitcoin for bitcoin maybe they think will help the economy of their country, and in some countries also bitcoin was illegal because they might have thought other, but I think bitcoin nice to help the economy of her because a lot of people who helped for bitcoin

it's depend on where you live.. in a few country bitcoin is illegal, and in a few country gambling is illegal, some countries also banned both.. like indonesian or other country.

Those bans are ineffective if you gamble online because the government of Indonesia has no central control of bitcoin and most of theee online gambling websites are not even hosted in Indonesia and so it leaves them to only block  certain websites but those can easily be overcome by using VPN's and RDP's.
Yes that can also be right that even if your government turn gambling as illegal and even if they do not allow you to for using bitcoin and consider bitcoin as illegal , still you can play gambling online using bitcoin, they cannot get access to your account so easily, because there are so many ways through which he can hide his identity while playing gambling online.

If you are worrying about the law regarding betting online with bitcoin,let me tell you this,most countries does not have any rules regarding online gambling in the first place and not many countries are aware of bitcoin based gambling and more over some of the top countries are trying to put some rules and regulations but one thing is sure they cannot monitor everything whether you are gambling or not with bitcoin,so do not worry about that.

It depends upon the country

When bitcoin is illegal to that country = gambling with bitcoin is illegal either.
And if gambling is illegal to that country = bitcoin is illegal = gambling with bitcoin is illegal too. But with Indonesia, I don't know that bitcoin and gambling is banned there.
Do you have strong proof that it is?

I think betting bitcoin is not said legal it is up to the person own judgment that if they said that it is illegal then may some of the people will criticism it and they will against of it. betting in all currencies are illegal in our country but it may allowed in other countries So it is not the fact that bitcoin betting is illegal. In the modern times people preferences are changed they are doing more advanced ways to make money so now the betting in bitcoin is also a source of income.
That can also be depending on the places where you are playing gambling, in such places where gambling is legal but  bitcoin is not as legal currency, i think there they may not be allowed to play gambling using bitcoin, It may also not be consider as legal where gambling is not legal while they have turn bitcoin as legal currency. It can only be legal in such places where both gambling and bitcoin are legal.

Yes that is true for example in my country gambling is totally illegal, but our state do not have any decision on bitcoin, either it is legal or illegal, but if you are playing gambling using bitcoin then it is illegal because gambling is illegal either you play it using fiat currency or any other currency it will be call as illegal. But still most of the people who play gambling illegally online they use bitcoin for playing gambling which is a best option for them.

It is illegal only in us because they can't earn money from these sites if they are paying tax then it's fine but till now most betting sites don't have a tie up. If you use vpn you are good to go or else if you don't reside in us then it isn't illegal because there isn't any particular law for bitcoin gambling

There are no rules in my country regarding playing with bitcoins. However, I suggest that everyone should pay taxes on the profit. Also, if the government in my country made its stance clear regarding this, I would be really happy and play without any tension.

Even in some countries are allowed for gambling but they don't allow online gambling so if that is the case then you should think before disclosing your profit from online gambling to pay the taxes. Because even though you pay the taxes but it is not legal and you may be in a trouble.

I think it is very simple, if gambling is legal in your country, then you can play gambling with bitcoin or with any other currency. But if your country or religion do not allow you to play gambling then it is illegal either you are playing gambling using bitcoin or any other currency. In my country gambling is illegal therefore it is always illegal either you play it with fiat or bitcoin currency.

I don't think it will illegal.
depending on where you live, in my country they 'government' gamble with bitcoin it is illegal and unlawful. But do not worry that many countries are offering bitcoin bets and their governments legalize bitcoin bets and can be used for betting.
Yes sir i agreed with you, it depends upon on which country you are if you think that bitcoin will illegal at your place then also gambling is illegal too..Besides there are some countries now embracing bitcoin and they agreed on using bitcoin as deposit an gambling.
So, i think in betting using bitcoin is not illegal if they recognized bitcoin to their country lets just wait.
Those problem are already been solve since bitcoin uses online even government that preventing it, they can't control aside from those communist country
where they really have full control of internet service, those government that accepting / embracing the system are really benefiting from this chain, I think more will legalized bitcoin especially using it with gambling.

If i'm not mistaken there's no rule/law yet in our country about bitcoin gambling. It is not that widely spread yet so governments aren't making any move about it as of now but two of our local exchange site TOS saying it's likely prohibited. The other one even locking up the account together with their btc once they have found out the btc comes from gambling site.
We have very clear law about gambling here in my county and in our religion, but still people  continue playing gambling, may be the reason is that when people become tired of find jobs or do not have enough money to start a business then they are mostly attracted by gambling which they consider as the easiest way of making money, although it is the easiest and shortest way of making money but i think we cannot ignore the fact that it is also the most risky way of making money.
Unfortunately, gambling is just not the easiest way to make money which I really consider to be appalling knowing that some people have this kind of thought when it comes to gambling.

In addition to these, with cryptocurrency, gambling has even been easier to do and get away with, even in places where it may be prohibited, so at the end of it all, I really do not see how those who gamble the crypto way can be nabbed anyway, it is just the mentality some people have with gambling like what you have mentioned, is what really baffles me a lot.
The easiest way to make money but if you failed on it unluckily also easy to lose your money, gambling is the most riskier if you think this is you source of income. Somebody says just gambled amount that you can afford to lose then why you should waste your money if you are going to loss of it.
Well, choose those legit gambling site that did not prohibited gambling at your place, or choose bustadice or either bustabit these are friendly gambling site, easy to have your luck here when you start gambled.
