Gambling has existed ever since in different forms and shapes. But it was during 1600s that casinos were invented and even later that casinos were legalized.
But then cryptocurrencies came along and there has been a notable shift in the casino industry. A lot of crypto transactions are associated with gambling. It is said that the crypto gambling market size is at
$250 billion. Online gambling has also allowed for more adoption of crypto casinos with 55% of online gamers owning cryptocurrency.
With these numbers, it is obvious that a huge part of gamblers nowadays use crypto. There are many benefits to using crypto particularly if you are gambling.
Do you think both industries, crypto and gambling sector, benefit from one another seeing how intertwined they seem to be? Do you think both played a part in the growth of both online gaming and cryptocurrencies?
You forgot that the first use of crypto is online gambling right? As in the beginning, we just need a bitcoin address for withdrawal, no questions ask, no mandatory KYC. And with that use case, comes crypto base casinos and it has grown so much in the last 10 years or so that it rivaled fiat base as well.
Of course, gambling sector has benefited, and then we have non-crypto gamblers started to gamble with crypto as well so it's a win win situation for us today. And in the next 10 years it could really double or even triple the amount of crypto gamblers and probably they are going to be investors as well.
