Indirectly, it may affect online gambling as well. The online gambling casino platform is increasing as time goes by since crypto is starting to spread especially with the halving. However, the problem as bitcoin price starts to hike the higher the fee becomes, most likely bitcoin will be the least used crypto in crypto casino.

I think with bitcoin becoming more and more expensive, the direct effect will be that people will not be willing to bet or gamble with bitcoins. Instead they may use Dogecoin or other low value coins for gambling. Other than this, halving will have no effect on gambling.

I know what you mean roughly but until 1 sat is too expensive I dont think this is a major problem.   Bitcoin is infinitely divisible really and at present its over 100 Satoshi units to make even 1 cent of value.   Its more about transaction costs to relay funds around the network, this could discourage people from Bitcoin into the alts and it is true every time BTC rises then the alt coins see a dramatic rise in their value also, more then just 1;1 ratio.

I have a slightly different opinion with most people, in my opinion bitcoin halving does not have an effect on the development of gambling.
I felt that there was no significant change before halving happened or after halving happened. Which gives a big effect not bitcoin halving
but corona virus. With the corona virus physical casinos and sports betting must to stop temporarily, but online gambling is increasingly
being visited by people.

Just don't relate halving to these things because it really doesn't make any sense. Price rise is not just based on halving but many other factors and to what I'm seeing, we will probably be in a stable situation for a few more weeks (even months) and you can surely see a surge in the BTC gambling interest from a user's end when price falls actually, and BTC can be the choice of casinos when they see surge in price. So it's different for both situations.

As Bitcoin gets more attention, more online casino operators would not want to miss the opportunity to tap the crypto gaming market. Existing operators that cater to only fiat-money players would consider accepting Bitcoin, while new brands in iGaming would launch as crypto-friendly casino and sports betting sites, for instance. Gaming dApps, for instance, may also get the boost they need to launch and get a strong following and support from the community.

Halving doesn't have a direct effect on how crypto-gambling sites will get a strong support from the community. For example, even those sites that only support fiat will consider crypto, specifically bitcoin, as one of their payment method, there is no assurance that they will attract more crypto-users to use their sites.

The competition of crypto-gambling sites today is so tough that even site owners spend lots of money on marketing, climbing to one of the best is a challenge.

In general, whether there is halving or not, the crypto-gambling activity will always grow on its usual process.

I also feel like the anticipation of big events in Bitcoin does not increase gambling profits.

Usually the masses react in the most obvious way. If they see sure profits from investment they will save up and not gamble. If they're scared they will sell or gamble it away.
The biggest gambling profits are late in the bull market where every average joe has some profits and feels confident to risk it in a game just because it's free money.

Halving itself does not have any effects on gambling whatsoever. The industry would operate as usual and it's still up to the players on whether they would use cryptocurrencies to gamble or not. Perhaps those who kept their balances on bitcoin would try and cash out with bitcoin when the pricing gets good, whereas those who play with bitcoin might try to use other cryptocurrencies instead and 'try' to withdraw with bitcoin if that is even possible in some gambling platforms.

The general idea re: gambling with bitcoin remains technically and essentially the same with or without halving price effect. They would still play with the currency if they want to, and might want to take advantage of the price action as it happens sooner.

No more Rekt and Bust
I am sure the existing fiat gateway online casinos will not stay away from the popular demand of today's online world. Digital money will be considered more than ever in the next few years, so I am ready to see the real revolution, it doesn't matter anymore it will be sooner or later.

Here is my simple logic why bitcoin price may surge in the end of 2021.

In 2012 first halving happened with bitcoin price surging on November 2013.
In 2016 second halving happened with bitcoin price surging on December 2017.
Now third halving will happen and I hope bitcoin price will surge again in the end of 2021.

Effects on gambling will be many new casino operators would want to join the crypto eco system for their casino.

I think with bitcoin becoming more and more expensive, the direct effect will be that people will not be willing to bet or gamble with bitcoins. Instead they may use Dogecoin or other low value coins for gambling. Other than this, halving will have no effect on gambling.

Hey! With the 3rd halving just around the corner and Bitcoin trading at about $9,200 at the time of writing, the price may break past the $10,000 mark once again in the weeks or months following [a lot of polls in regards to that here as well]

A massive price surge will highlight renewed interest in Bitcoin, which eventually may influence the iGaming industry to give more value to crypto gaming. This may result to a boom in the number of Bitcoin casinos on the market.

As Bitcoin gets more attention, more online casino operators would not want to miss the opportunity to tap the crypto gaming market. Existing operators that cater to only fiat-money players would consider accepting Bitcoin, while new brands in iGaming would launch as crypto-friendly casino and sports betting sites, for instance. Gaming dApps, for instance, may also get the boost they need to launch and get a strong following and support from the community.

Looks like a fairytale for you? Share your thoughts

Im not really seeing such effect yet we've already seen the adoption which is good yet we have seen several fiat-based ones tended to make use or add up of BTC
into their mode of deposit/withdrawal which is good.In talks of halving effect on gambling then i dont see the relevance yet people would just gamble no matter
on what would be the price since they can easily make use of it on few units or sats when it rose its price.Crypto gambling is becoming big which is really
a good thing for gamblers yet this do add up more option to them.

Well I doubt there would be more effects of bitcoin halving that could bring any thing to casinos aside from it getting a pump. We all know that these casinos are one of the biggest holder of bitcoin, they are storing it for good funding the whole house to be ready to any internet climate. But if the house owner/s is so grateful, there would be more of a promotion and bonuses to their platform when bitcoin goes wild in the next couple of weeks. I hope they are hearing me right now  Grin

I think there has been a slight change in the perception of new gamblers related to halving so that there is a good impact on gambling sites namely the increasing number of new gamblers on the site. Some of the things that I think and the effect might be:

For new gamblers:
- Looking for luck in gambling.
- Want to get bitcoin and sell it because of high prices is the basic motivation so they can become rich.

For gambling site:
- Becoming popular because of the increasing number of users.
- Site revenue increases because there will be many players who lose.

Nothing drastically changed on gambling, and I don't see in any reasons that BTC halving could really effect gambling that much. Initially, this covid-19 really takes place a lot. Cheesy

BTC is just a tool, money, so it won't make crypto casinos suddenly appealing to the masses. Gaming developers still need to evolve/constantly bring more exciting games to the table so gamers can play more and obviously spend more.

So it seems people here like dice. With dice, devs can modify it so whenever it hits xx.xx, a bonus round will appear, just like slots.

The online gambling casinos are the one that is going to benefit this halving and the adoption because there are no open casinos, I can see gambling casinos doubling or even tripling because of the halving and the adoption, check the gambling casinos section we see a lot of new gambling sites coming up, positioning themselves in the market.

You own the pen
The Halving is already done not too long ago and its effect is not too much when you see the price in the market today. most people say that this year's halving was a fail. little they know is their awaited bull run will affect only after a few months of halving if there's one. Now the effect of the halving in the market was great as you can see the price has gain momentum before the halving takes place. It didn't even bother to spike its price even we are experiencing pandemic nowadays. just one thing to remember when we are going for another halving again next 4 years.

I think the halving process that takes place today will not have much effect on gambling. Of course, with the increase in possible mining fees, we may now have to pay more commissions and deposit money in our accounts, but I think it will not have a special effect. Another thing that comes to my mind is that due to a possible mining problem, delays may occur in the pool and money transfers may take place more slowly. This will have a very serious effect for users who bet on last minute deposits because many users prefer Bitcoin for their ease of use. On the other hand, due to the price increases that may occur in this process, gamblers with Bitcoin balance can also exchange gambling platforms to play more games with more USD. This creates a positive effect for some of the services and a negative effect for some.

I think the market increase does not have any effect to the gambling world because most of the coins today are now used with the fiat currency which is good because they don't make any changes on the price it is stable than the use of the cryptocurrency also in the online gambling does not matter if you are using the bitcoin or other altcoins because the same earnings they will give but the difference when they are transferring their funds now on their wallet has changed on the market value of the coins now.
   I don't think that BTC halving will have any effects on gambling. People who gamble with crypto-currencies knows
how to adjust their bets when crypto-currencies rise in price, or when opposite happens. And what else can happen
after halving, price can either go high or will drop at some point before it rise a lot. But in the same time for us who
gamble with minimal bets, we will continue to do the same, if price rise we will have a bit higher bets equivalent to dollar
value, but that can be a good thing!

Even it made a changes on the market price the people or the player must be still aware about the market cost of the coins to not to wage the same amount of the coins.

We'll have to wait for a few months before we can see the impact but anywhere we look at it at our current situation, online gambling is going to benefit it since there are no casinos open at this pandemic and Cryptocurrency is moving forward in adoption, online gambling casinos has a good future and everyone is struggling for a share of the market.
The casino will only benefit if their player is going to increase, but I think with regards to halving, the only positive effect that they are going to benefit our from it is if bitcoin is going to skyrocket! other that I there's no more. And yes! you are right, base on the pattern on the past halving we are going to only see the effect after few months and I really hope that would be a good news for all of us. I am hoping that history will repeat itself again  Grin
