I understand that you are frustrated as a gambler and that long confirmation periods are making you troubles because often you can miss good opportunities because of that. But don't quit bitcoin entirely, there are other fields where you can use it and holding bitcoin is still good investment.
Considering how the bitcoin economy market value is based on gambling in a very large way means that if people stop using bitcoin in gambling affects it in a big way, and since the transaction are taking a lot longer time to get complete means that gamblers will have a hard time making bets at the right moment so they stop gambling with bitcoin, and if this consists that means that we are going to see a big crash of the price.

Faster confirmations, cheaper fees = segwit + schnorr sigs
Instant confirmations, near free = LN
blocksize remains reasonable to be run under average computer = decentralized network
Core Roadmap = the best

Hard fork?
In the end it will become a Hard Fork. Just because the fractions can't settle. No Hardfork would require unity which isn't existing.
What are the possible consequences of a hardfork? And, wouldn't that create a "new coin?" And, would that split the market capital also?

Being a very active gambler i was usually pretty satisfied with btc. The stakes are higher then other sportsbook sites and i like the fact that i don't need any personal information. Well this all changed during recent events with the so called mempool. Just to make this clear, i have no idea how this all works and i don't care either,i just want it to work.
The problem with this is i play on various sites and most of the time i make last minute bets on games in different sports and the transactions have to be almost instant and be confirmed before the bets are being payed out to me again.
Most sites credit the btc after just 1 confirmation which by the looks of it is going to take hours again with almost 45.000 waiting transactions in the mempool. It happened before and it's happening again and it's time for me to say goodbye to bitcoin.
Any other people feeling the same like me who are tired of these slow confirmation like today?

The users want fast confirmations and low fees. Blockstream controlled Core devs don't care what you want. They're going to scale Bitcoin according to their own roadmap, and if you don't like, tough shit.

I can understand the issue. Being a gambler I can understand we often tend to make last minute bets and it's annoying if you miss out on the bets. One option I feel not really sure if it's exists. What if you could top up your betting account. I mean pick a reliable betting site, top it up and then keep on playing without any worry. Not sure if this is correct. I also feel if this is moved to gambling discussion thread you will get far more deeper replies, do consider it.
Maybe the whole "fee" thing is why Dogecoin does so well. It stays cheap but consistent and reliable. When transferring between exchanges, trade in BTC for Doge, transfer to new exchange, then trade Doge back to BTC. Is that what's happening?
Your problem was the most problem here in the forum and every single transaction that are so hard to confirm was the fees was so low and if you are having a hard time on it why would you gonna quit in any transaction you ever made! just bare with it for now and make a bigger fees so you would not have any problem like that!

Pay a better transaction fee, get faster confirmation. Problem solved.
This is right, once you pay a large fees will gets better and faster confirmation. I also encountered this kind of problem, too slow to process the transactions. This has been the problem really of mang users too many pending transactions.

I would say that you think twice before leaving Bitcoins. I mean, there are problems and nothing is perfect, slw confirmation could realy be annoying but this all can be solved. You can also have problems with your bank account or credit card but you will not quit them just like that, right. But the good thing in your story is that you leave gambling, you will save a lot of money.
Well, I got my bitcoin in less than 1 more than the previous week. And I send someone btc in a few minutes as well. So basically, it was smooth on my end, whether receiving or accepting it. So its a good experience for me overall. However, even if my transaction got confirmed later, I will still used it still as my mode of payment. Remember, it was designed for micro-payment as well so it will still go for me. I haven't check the mempool lately so I don't know if there are still a lot of network transaction backlog though.

it doesn't really matter, really, as long as the transaction is confirmed and you get your bitcoin. you don't need to pay higher for small payment, just need to keep patient.
however, leaving bet is good one.

For many people paying high transaction fees is a deterred factor when using bitcoin but I can't believe that it is applies for gamblers and traders because there is no reason to care so much for some more satoshis. So, anybody wants to be served more fast than the others must be willing to pay more. That is fair, right?

The option for you would be to pay higher transaction fee if you are using bitcoin to gamble or use other gambling platforms such as Vdice which uses ETH only as the entire platform is based on the Ethereum blockchain. I believe the confirmation is quicker and cheaper than bitcoin.

you should try to pay an extra fee.. much higher fees perhaps. having a normal transaction will take time for confirmation. so if you're in a rush, better have a higher fee..

The Gambling sites need to go off-chain for the intermin to avoid the slow transaction processing due to Mempool.
For those who don't want to pay that large of a fee on small bets could always make an account and create a bet on betmoose or something.
However I feel like the real solution for the period is to provide an alt-coin as a quick deposit option.
It is a good time to be poloniex or a Bitcoin exchange.

what you say is a bit contradictory.
if you want the privacy and other things that using bitcoin offers you then you wouldn't have said what you just said.
then if you are gambling and are in fact good at it, paying $0.41 is not really something that you even consider "high" or big enough for you to create a topic and talk about "leaving bitcoin"!
also you keep repeating "I am not tech savvy"! you don't need to be. just use a proper wallet that suggests fees properly. bitcoin core as a full verifying wallet and Electrum as an SPV wallet and blockchain.info as a web wallet do this properly. you don't have to know anything, they suggest best fees in a very newbie friendly GUI and you just click send.
I use Electrum so I am talking with 100% confidence that the fee it suggests as high (currently ~200 s/b or ~0.0004BTC for a normal tx equal to ~41 cents) is a good fee.
edit
if he play on various site and need to make many transaction, can result in his profit getting killed, not really a great suggestion, we can't always say that the problem lie in the user not paying more
if 40-50 cents per tx (per bet) is killing his profit then maybe it is best he stops gambling.p.s we all know about the problem and the spam attack and the increasing fee and the fee war but there is no need to make a new account just to say "this was my last btc transaction" and make more drama in this board as you can see from all the previous comments.
