Gambling is legal in many countries and in that country casinos must have a license to operate so that customers can trust them and for them to also make huge profits. A decentralized casino can run in a country that gambling is not allowed because of the fear of the government but note,that you are running an illegal business and if you are caught by the government, you might be sent to jail. Any casino that wants to hit it big must use a centralized system,so that they can build their trust on customers. Now imagine that you registered with a decentralized casino and you win big,if the casino refuse to pay you your funds,how will you claim your funds. Remember any good business that is illegal will end up crashing because it has no government back up.

It's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform but when your casino gets crowded with gamblers and the regulators start watching your business, you must get ready to follow their rules. Regulators can do anything to pressure you by asking you to follow their rules. And regulators may also require you to accept CBDC as a deposit and withdrawal option for gamblers. And if it does apply to crypto casinos, we have to accept it and there is a possibility that KYC will be fully implemented by then.

Is it possible to run a casino without the government’s awareness? Sure. People do it all the time. You hear stories of kids paying their way through college operating poker rooms, etc. is it legal? Of course not. I assume at some point you would reach a level of success that would bring government eyes on what you’re doing. So it’s possible, but it would be a ticking time bomb.

so that is what makes me think if it's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform at all.
As far as I know, legal gambling platforms are always under direct supervision and responsibility by the Chicago licensing authority, generally licenses are supervised by the government which is authorized to manage human resources, especially the funds of users involved in gambling.

For this reason, every gambling industry must be decentralized and prioritize the CBDC payment method for users who bet, I think the Chicago licensing authority will provide the best opportunities and answers for the gambling industry listed on the Chicago license, because decentralization is the main purpose of diversion, surely the gambling industry can easily run in a decentralized manner based on the rules set by the Chicago licensing authority, not a single obstacle and obstacle for a decentralized gambling business.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
Is it possible to run a decentralized gambling platform? I know that all popular gambling platforms have no choice but to be transparent to the law to have a steady business running, but with the introduction of CBDC and yes a registered gambling platform has no choice but to accept CBDC too, and I don't trust this centralized currency, I believe CBDC will have the capability to monitor incoming and outgoing funds, so that is what makes me think if it's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform at all.
Yes anyone can run it but getting known and wanting it to be steady then you need to comply within your jurisdictions. Well, we can't say that this kind of stuff will still be possible in the future considering how the government is adopting things and getting strict every day, decentralization will not be realized in the future.

It's definitely possible to run decentralized gambling platforms but it has its own set of challenges as well.
Talking about CBDC, even if the governments force it upon exchanges, there will still be other coins which the exchanges will still keep accepting.
So people will prefer the coins which they are currently using and CBDC will just be another option.

Of course you can, and as far as I know it already exists at the moment, only what will be a problem is everything decentralized is always the second choice after centralization, we can see on exchanges many don't like it after so many hack news, but centralization is still more at the forefront of decentralized exchanges and it will also happen to decentralized gambling sites, players will only use it as a second choice and the current casino is the first and most used.
Not really following about CBDC if the reason for creating a decentralized casino is because you want to avoid CBDC but don't get a lot of players who are profit givers, so actually it's not worth it at all, especially for gambling site owners whose main goal is to get big profits and I think they will still in the current form of casinos even though they have to follow the rules of the government.

When Bitcoin was created and after sometime I have seen that some Casino were built on DeFi platform and they were running without any government officials.
And also I have heard that Indian Government has shut down 100 plus Gambling sites that use crypto directly or indirectly. And I can say that Now governments are more strict than before and they are going for a regulation.

It's possible, but it's not convenient for the casino owner since he need to develop his casino from scratch. Just ask yourself, do you want to choose on a decentralized casino if you can only play dice, crash, mines? as for sportsbook, you can only bet on moneyline option and there's no other betting option, don't forget the casino will not have any promotions too because it's impossible to ban a cheater if the casino is decentralized.

In a few years ago it would have been possible for casinos to operate without the knowledge of the government but now that is impossible.
The government always seeks and interferes with every casino business that is established by its citizens with the aim of being able to take advantage of it to get taxes.
The government already knows that the casino is a business with big money in it, so the government will ride it and make it an asset for them. They don't want to know if the casino is small or big as long as it is still operating, the government will ask for a certain amount of tax and it is mandatory.

Governments can't monitor all of those casinos.

And that's what those developers are trying to take advantage and they'll just comply to the government of their jurisdiction if they've been caught and called.

But as long as they're like wild and free for their operations, they'll just do nothing so it's very plausible that a casino can run onto their jurisdiction without being noticed.

[.....] , but with the introduction of CBDC and yes a registered gambling platform has no choice but to accept CBDC too,
I said it before that I have no issue against CBDCs accepted in online gambling platforms but to say they have no choice is a stretch. The decision still belongs to these casinos. If they see there's a high demand or customer request then they can add CBDC as payment option. They can also stick to fiat payment gateways or crypto if they think it's not necessary to add more.

You don't have to use it but Government agencies can still track you if they really want to. These platforms claiming to be decentralized are still centralized in some way. Where do you think their server are running?

It is possible. However, the question is if it will be sustainable for the long run, not just in the beginning. Establishing a business in general is   risky and requires a lot of effort. It is a tedious task that needs to be looked upon every now and then to monitor the process from the conceptualization to the implementation. Running a business usually requires permit and other documents to legally operate. While it is possible to make a casino that is decentralized in nature, just how bitcoin started, due to multiple cases on scams and schemes will make it difficult for people to trust a website that just happen to appear out of nowhere, not listed in any license operators and isn't at the reach of the government for monitoring purposes.

It could be a good idea especially for those people who aren't fond of the KYC process, however, trust issues will arise from lack of documents and proof of legitimacy. But the moment you establish the name and reputation of the casino, it will just all fall into place. Only that it will be a long journey for a casino website to be acknowledged as reputable and worth trying.

Before yes where cryptocurrency based casino has not been taken seriously by government, but since crypto is gaining fame together with businesses using this including casino they are  been strict upon regulating it maybe for questionable reasons about it. But they could still run without government awareness but the question there is those gambler would trust them especially they know if the casino is avoiding government regulation? For sure no since as I seen this became a new trend to be seen as good indicator that a casino is legitimate and not a shady one.

it very likely could run without government knowledge. after all it's decentralized casino that usually preferred by users who are not happy with KYC, to me both are the same whether it's a decentralized casino or a casino that is officially associated with the government. although the regulations are stricter but as long as it can be trusted I have no problem, I've only seen decentralized casinos very rarely last a long time usually they go bankrupt faster and disappear.

so that is what makes me think if it's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform at all.
For now, it's clear that all gambling-based companies will agree to the government's offer. The aim is for them to operate freely under supervision, indeed ideally a decentralized casino makes a lot of sense. However, if I were a casino owner and had to escape government scrutiny, the risk would be considered illegal.

In fact, to stay safe and mutually beneficial to each other, the casinos surrender their rights to the government. Furthermore, the government asks for a percentage of the profits, so as long as we can benefit each other, that's the best course. Instead of being an enemy of the government and operating invisibly, the casinos would indirectly become targets.

Yup. That was back then though I think it should still be possible now, it might be kind of hard to stay anonymous without the knowhows, and it's only a matter of how "long" can it actually stay up since it WILL be brought down if the government was able to see how it can gain traction with their citizens, especially if it was a country that prohibits gambling.

I highly doubt a registered crypto casino will need to accept CBDC's, they were well and fine enough with how they work right now with only specific cryptos being accepted after all. And even then, it will only remain as an option in the casino, and not the sole coin that people are able to use.

Is it possible to run a decentralized gambling platform?

Most online gambling platforms I believe are operating on either a decentralized network or on a semi decentralized network - Edgeless casino and TrueFlip casino.

There is nothing wrong with accepting CBDC. But I doubt they will. I am pretty sure that it is not going to be mandatory as the option to fund your wallet with other cryptocurrencies will still be allowed. They will still be able to address the issues of fraud and transparency etc. If you feel that your personal information will be revealed by the casino if you use the CBDC when look to other casinos where you do not need to.

If we are referring to that kind of casino, then it is called an illegal casino. Only the government can make the business legal, and you need to obtain the necessary permits to make your business legal, which means you are under the supervision of the government.

Take crypto, for example, it's supposed to be anonymous, but look what is happening now. In fact, there's what we call a DEX (decentralized exchange) before, but look where they are now.

By this time it's going to be difficult to run a platform that is not transparent to government or to any crypto regulators. We are now in a point wherein they are hot on our tails because maybe they want to tax or simply doesn't want to give their control.

And as you have said, with CBDC just around the corner.

It's just a matter of time that they will take control of us, through monitoring, including our gambling habits.
