Topic: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? - page 18. (Read 3102 times)

I don't think that there's a huge difference between whether gambling with fiat or bitcoin, it's all about gambling sites which are based for crypto gambling didn't require your documents like Passport or ID card for verification like in gambling sites using fiat. I think also it's easier to gamble using cryptocurrencies that fiat cause it's always like few clicks and you'll load your account and make your bets and not like gambling sites which accept only fiat.

That's what is the most preferred decision to those people who are like that but if not then it's entirely to them on what they willdo if they prefer online where it is easier and you can just stay at home and doing other things too or you will gamble in an actual casino. As of now, there are people who still gamble using fiat.

Totally a matter of personal preference. If someone likes to stay home and gets nervous in crowds, online gambling is the right way to enjoy it. Using crypto currencies has its own benefits. Not only will you remain hidden but in case of winnings, the amount of your win increases with time. Traditional gambling has its own pros and cons. The best thing about it is the environment, audience and servings.

It depends on what type of gambling I am doing. If it's traditional gambling like dice, roulette, then I use only and only crypto and not fiat, as it kind of makes me believe that anonymity helps me to win more on games based on our luck. But, in sports gambling, I prefer both cash and crypto because it's not totally luck based.

This is not about Bitcoin only. Most casinos nowadays offer the Dogecoin option, and you can use the cheapness of this coin (in terms of transaction costs) to your own advantage. For example, there can be a sort of free giveaway or faucet which you can claim every now and then (say, when your balance is empty). So you claim free coins, and then bet them all on a very high multiplier (like 100x or so). If you lose, you repeat until you win

When you win and the amount is still below the minimum withdrawal, you simply deposit your own doges, make a couple of bets on a low multiplier, then proceed to withdraw all. To make things clear, I don't use this technique myself as the output is still mostly dust (and it is kind of cheating) but it is working (we used that at PD some years ago with Bitcoin during the so-called "happy hour")

Strong disclaimer: the aforementioned should be considered for educational and informational purposes only

It's very hard to reach minimum withdrawal just by playing using faucets of a gambling site. I am also using faucets to play but I wasn't able to win in the long run. Faucets only give a little amount of btc to let you play, and it will take a lot of time to earn and you need consecutice winnings to do that. You must be very lucky or you have some strategy to at least achieve minimum withdrawal.

I am a crypto believer myself but for me gambling it doesn't matter wether it is in fiat or in crypto.

Lot of crypto casinos, sports book claim to offer anonymous betting but I already had several occasions on several platforms that all of a sudden they need kyc verification. So in the beginning it can be anonymous but when you want a large cashout they still ask your kyc details.
Beside that I have seen many stories of people got their account prozen or locked for no reason, funds confiscated, not receiving their high won amounts. But they can do that. Where in earth do you go to if this happens when it all is anonymous. Most have a simple curaçao gaming license but no further contact details than an email or support chat.

So yeah I like gambling on crypto platforms but only for fun. When I bet large amounts (mostly poker and sportsbooks) I prefer fiat rooms. I do not care to run through the kyc procedure. But I know when I am betting on for example Betfair or playing poker on poker stars I will always receive my winnings even if I would 100k in a poker tournament.


Just imagine what if crypto never have existed. No one would have bothered to do kyc procedure cause gamblers want to gamble and if they need to provide their personal details they would never make an issue out of it. Crypto of course offers some kind of anonymity but well for me that does not make any difference.

Stupid examples

-I started on Sportsbet.io long time ago. no kyc procedure. Then a few months back I won 3,000€ in BTC and then suddenly they requested my personal details and kyc verification. So what is the point of gambling anonymous if they still ask verification when you want to cash out larger sums.

- Lets say you love poker and crypto.

   what do you choose play on an anonymous room with maybe 100-200 players and guaranteed tournaments for peanuts like 100$ in BTC guaranteed or play on pokerstars which have 10,000s of players 24/7 and millions of $ in guaranteed prize pools every single week

I'm not looking for a big win. I have reached the minimum wd, so I will immediately wd.After I calculated at a minimum I can produce 0.02 btc each month from the gambling site. There are several sites that I visit often. The 0.02 btc is the result of all of these sites.All depends on focus. If looking for a big win is rather difficult, it's clear the gambling system system will defeat us

Correct. I guess that will help gamblers like us to stay under the radar from other people if they don't want other people to know their activity while they online on the internet. We will have our time to play gambling without anyone knows what we do. Maybe they will be curious why we are looks busy in our room or using a mobile phone, but if we can explain that we are playing the games only, I think they will not ask more about what we did. Gambling with crypto will give us free to gamble in any games we want.

Yes, of course I really like and will choose gambling with crypto, not caring about the limitations that occur in gambling using crypto as said in the OP crypto is still not accepted at physical casinos which means there are still many limitations in this regard, because for me the most important thing is to remain anonymous about gambling. Indeed, online gambling using fiat has lower costs because there is no need to spend as much money as through an exchange, in contrast to crypto gambling which at least we have to go through exchanges when we want to cash it and also make a deposit. This is just about freedom in every country which is different about the rules that apply to gambling itself and I don't think there is a problem about this as long as we can enjoy it.

I gamble both on fiat and crypto. Fiat when offline and crypto when online. They are both convenient to use in their own terms. There is a little problem I encounter with crypto gambling though. The particular app I am using in converting crypto to fiat is clear on its terms that any amount coming from online gambling, betting, or casinos are not authorized funds. It is strictly prohibited. I am forced to divert my gambling funds to another wallet before finally depositing them to the app whenever I need cash.

Personally I prefer crypto for anonymity, security, transparency, and tax free. It allows me to gamble whenever and wherever I am which gives a lot of advantage to me. Also, when you gamble with crypto, you can assure that no one will judge you no matter how much you win or lose. People wouldn't care at all and you can be able to win a jackpot price without them knowing which is a great feeling for me IMO.

i find this question biased because we are in crypto world so only few will answer fiat or maybe even none.
but lets take it into consideration because i will choose Cryptocurrency as well,this is case to case since there are sites and live casinos that dont accept crypto so if does then theres no choice but to use fiat.

you sure?all those freebies brings you winnings?then you must be rich by now?maybe that's over statement mate.

Considering it depends on what type of gambling you prefer. Some people have a lot time wherein they are available to gamble in casino thus fiat is the best for them. On the other hand some people doesn't have a lot leisure time thus they tend to consider more convenient way to gamble which is through online. Crypto enables various players who are never allowed to gamble online before.

I also prefer to choose crypto for gambling. It is not only about anonymity but also about simplicity. We can be easier to transfer it from our wallets for playing gambling at any time. Moreover, it is faster and doesn't need third parties. So, we can play gambling whenever without having difficulties to get funds + more secure because handle the transaction ourselves.

I prefer to use crypto. Honestly I have never gambled using fiat currency at all. My reason is simple, if crypto many sites that provide free so I can use to gamble. I will not experience any losses from it. In fact, I can bring home the results every week how many crypto can I wd from the gambling site.and this has been my routine so far without any problem.

Well, i used both cryptocurrency and fiat when playing gambling, but their specific place on where i used these two currencies to play gambling. Ofcourse i used fiat currency when i am playing at the casino because casinos does not yet adopt cryptocurrency, and i used cryptocurrency when i am just playing gambling on a crypto gambling sites.

I go for both, fiat for offline gambling like poker and card games and Cryptocurrency for online gambling sites, fiat and Crypto has their purpose when it comes to gambling, I have a lot of gambler friend who is not yet in to Crypto and we love to play card games and of course they will never accept Cryptocurrency, they want cash or fiat, and when it comes to online I always prefer Crytocurrency, very convenient to use and it's anonymous.

I think both of the currency could be a great gambling currency in my opinion. I think if you really go to casino and gambling places more often fiat money is the one that is used and it is I think more convenient to use in a gambling place. Also i think if you want to earn in gambling or do gambling if you are just at home I think cryptocurrency is more convenient way to  do it with a computer you could easily visit a lot of gambling website in the internet and using your cryptocurrency as your money to gamble it could easily be done by that.
Also, I think cryptocurrency is better because you could play gambling at any time you wanted without any hassle of going to the casino.

If you're a gambler an if you have been introduced to Cryptocurrency you'll discover that there are a lot of coins with their own gambling applications, some examples are EOS and TRON, you'll definitely going to make the shift, there will be a time that there's not a gambling sites that will not accept Cryptocurrency, all because of convenience of use.
