Gambling through sportsbooks and casinos seems like a great use case for Bitcoin (and other cryptos) at the moment.
It allows people from countries with strict gambling laws to play with no worry of punishments. It also allows successful gamblers to play without account restrictions placed on them - as they would get at fiat sportsbooks - and a whole host of other benefits.
As this sector is growing fast, I thought I'd write a weekly update about the developments in the crypto sportsbook/casino world.
Feel free to check it out and let me know your thought (there are a couple bets to follow in there too, if that's your thing) - https://bitedge.com/blog/crypto-betting-weekly-19-feb-2021/
Do you guys think gambling could be one of the main catalysts for Bitcoin becoming more widely adopted?
Thanks!
For Bitcoin, I don't think it's a great use case because the price of bitcoin now is too expensive for regular people who want to try to play on crypto gambling. Perhaps, it will be a great use case for an altcoin to play crypto gambling as many coins that are not too expensive compared to bitcoin. With the crypto gambling site, people will not have a problem playing gambling because they can visit crypto gambling easily, and as long as their country doesn't restrict access to the crypto gambling site, they can select the site that they want to play.
Gambling can be one of many ways for bitcoin to become adopted widely in all countries, but at this moment, not all people in all countries know about bitcoin. So we need to give time for that, but in the future, bitcoin will become larger than today.
