Crypto gambling also faces similar issues, but they are far fewer in number when compared to FIAT gambling. This is easily one of the biggest advantages of gambling anonymously using cryptocurrencies.
Well, if scammers are sending money directly to any exchanges or casinos to launder the money which they accumulated by hack then they will get caught sooner or later because in blockchain everything is transparent and impossible to overwrite any traces of transactions.
You know most of the criminal activities like money laundering happens withing the regulated Banking system ... right? Have a look at this article and tell me that casinos are the biggest culprits when it comes to Money laundering : https://fortune.com/2020/03/11/money-laundering-record-year-bank-fines/ <=== "A near record year for money laundering: Banks hit with $10 billion in fines"
The difference..... Banks are protected by the governments and the online casinos are not. Also, when a Crypto casino are licensed, they have to adhere to specific rules and these rules enforce KYC requirements. (destroying all the so-called anonymity)
You touched on a very important point, as long as governments cover their basic needs and banks too, they will always turn blind to this type of money laundering. In the case of casinos it is different, each one decides how to spend, invest and manage their money, some choose to play in casinos for fun and the fun is not bad, it does not harm anyone.
As for the atmosphere of the casino, it can be done at home, a good wine, whiskey or whatever you have to accompany it and a good snack makes enjoying the game enjoyable, especially with the events offered on the platform, also for some It is a measure of getting out of the stress of everything, forgetting situations and having a pleasant time, these things are missing from the human.
