It seems strange to me that a lot of the big online bookmakers in the USA are accepting Btc deposits from only USA or Canada residents.
They still accept customers from other countries but not to deposit crypto.

How bizarre is this?
is there any difference between the btc owned by an american and an asian or european?

This also seems very strange to me.Although I have never used cryptocurrency in a casino, I have heard the indignation of my friends from Europe. In General, I play in the casino for several months, this is probably my hobby, if you can say so. I can not call myself a professional, I still follow the advice of my more experienced friends. First they advised me to start with an online casino https://casinodeps.co.nz/safe-casinos/. They said that the main feature of such online casinos is that there are many slot machines with a low Deposit, which allows you to gain useful experience.

How sure are you of this one? I think it isn't because most of the platform are decentralized and all users are under of it to which they can use the function unless if there KYC triggers to hinder the huge deposits of BTC to their platform?

If really they will not allow huge deposits of btc coming from another country then here is my speculations.

Well Btc deposits could also be consider as investment or buying dollars without the governments consent or permit. As we all know that exchanges of fiat currency especially dollars has limited supply. The US government had already made a guidelines for their residents on investing crypto or even prohibited on investing to it due to some reasons and spending dollars in exchange to crypto is one of it.

I read a news before in this forum for a certain country planning to do a project or will be using a crypto to get more dollars and that became a hot issue. The US government had taken steps against the said plan.

It is not bizarre at all, because in the not regulated states only the sending of money to casinos abroad is illegal. And with taking crypto currencies they circumvent this restriction.

maybe due to the fact that USA and Canada based gamblers are less prone to try and scam the sites
their security team must have some sort of statistics and they decided that it is not worth it to offer bonuses to players outside of the USA and Canada
offering (or declining) bonuses doesn't mean that you cannot deposit bitcoins though
as far as I know,sites like Primedice and Stake do not allow to deposit if your geo location is USA or Australia
it is because it is illegal to gamble online in the US,at least in some states and they do not want to get involved in any legal shenanigans
many casinos limit the countries as well,so it is not that uncommon or strange
for example,they do not allow you to gamble from Syria or Ukraine or Usa and then you use VPN and win something
when you are trying to withdraw,they ask you for KYC and decline your withdrawal because you breached their TOS and they are in the right

well no bonus for certain countries isn't the same as not accepting bitcoin at all
I never had good history with bonuses since almost all the sites I joined don't have welcome offer for my country ( Syria ) so I'm used to it
but having an option to deposit with bitcoin is way more important for me than bonuses

I understand why this might look bizarre to you.

However, I suspect that this is caused by the fact that the usual
deposit methods for ROW players that are used to fund gambling
accounts (e.g. credit cards, prepaid vouchers like Paysafecard,
e-wallets like Skrill or Neteller) can´t be used by US residents
for gambling transactions.

Neteller and the various other companies in this space withdrew from
the US market (at least for gambling-related transactions) years ago
due to a change in the legal landscape.

This might change in the future as the Supreme Court has struck down a law
that prevented legal sportsbetting in the US a few days ago:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/14/us/politics/supreme-court-sports-betting-new-jersey.html

Quote

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court struck down a 1992 federal law on Monday that
effectively banned commercial sports betting in most states, opening the door to legalizing the
estimated $150 billion in illegal wagers on professional and amateur sports that Americans make every year.

The sportsbooks that you refer to therefore are not accepting Bitcoin, because they like
the technology, but rather because this is the only possible way for Americans to fund their
accounts.
