Wow this case is so blatant. Apparently he was trusted with managing client funds, and he went on to buy in to poker tournaments and build a career as a poker pro with other people's money...
It's true that there are many reputable sites that will take crypto funds for gambling without any questions asked. It's one of the niches in the market of crypto gambling anyway.
One such site is bustabit (ex. moneypot). They allow bets just with anonymous registration. You can look at the site's leaderboard and see how much each player has won/lost. Currently the biggest loser is PredictableLegacy with 1,278.1505535 BTC lost over 1,397 bets. Currently their max bet is 111.51 BTC, which is over 10 million USD in a single bet! And just-dice still allows for max profit with a value above 3 million USD. So it's definitely easy to bet ridiculously large amounts on crypto gambling sites. You can look at https://dicesites.com for an approximation of how many wagers there have been in dice websites. Of course that's not the entirety of the market, but it's quite obvious that crypto gambling is not a small market.

That $10M loss is just a small amount when we look at the whole.

Gambling industry is so big and vast thats why i dont really believe much into those numbers to be precise and im expecting for it to be much more bigger.
If that statistics based of on last 2 years then pretty sure that it is way more bigger now and to think that do excludes crypto gambling industry which i do also
believe that having that humongous amount we are talking on.

This was not viewed as a whole, that was probably just a basis to determine how big the market is already.
I was also searching online to have an idea on how big crypto casinos market already, but I didn't see any exact figure, maybe one of the reasons is that crypto casinos are not all regulated or the government does not consider them yet as one of the biggest contributor in terms of taxes.
I've seen this 2017 article only, but these are wagered only, but if you are good in accounting, maybe it can give us an idea.
Bitcoin Gamblers Have Wagered $4.5 Billion in BTC Since 2014
probably the figure has already doubled or increase more than that.
I know this is an old article but I'm just surprised that crypto casinos is this big already.
The article says one person has lose maybe at least $10 million in a casino from a poker game, I mean, how big we are already? I'm just amazed.
Can we just discuss the market size not the gambling addiction or anything related to that?

What do you mean by discussing the market size? Do you mean the total money circulated in the crypto-gambling industry today?

Reading the article, if my understanding is correct, it looks like he just funded his crypto accounts then convert it to cash but he is actually playing in fiat casinos.
