Topic: How's your gambling experience right now? - page 3. (Read 704 times)

This is a gamble within a gamble and as funny as it may sound only those with lots of money or those who cannot delay gratification that will go ahead to try this. "What ifs" being replaced by "What if not".

I already lucky I leave funds in my casino wallet so, it has been as if nothing has been happening. I do not even think that this is a problem because casinos has already made it easy by having multiple options other than bitcoin. Any of the numerous altcoins so gambling continues smoothly. Whew... altcoins to the rescue.

Well every gambler will always be like that when they win, I'm also not a hypocrite because very often when I win suddenly a greedy nature appears wanting to win even more using the strategy or pattern used before, so the casino seems to read the way I play gambling I usually get beaten again according to my previous win, it gain nothing for me but experience for fun only.

All gamblers have the same experience, sometimes this greedy nature is difficult for all gamblers to get rid of, if this can be eliminated it will be easy to get consistent wins even if you can't even maintain consistency, that's why losing is a common experience for many gamblers, it's not strange heard that if you win $200 today then tomorrow lose your previous winnings even more.

Gambling is something that we need to have different options so that we be able to mix things and make it easy for us to execute.
The problem of high fee especially on Bitcoin network and Tron network is quite annoying and I wondered how long this will take us for everything to come back to normal. If this persist, I think many of the crypto casinos would have to seek for other options that would make work easier for them. There will be need to open other options for gamblers to make deposit with other cryptocurrenies so that will not halt gambling activities.

The topic here is not all about the title itself. It’s related to the current state of Bitcoin mempool which affects the transaction of gambling activities due to the high fees. I’m familiar to the game that you mention and most of the casino that offering these games is using fiat or their own coin that convertible to fiat.

Answering to your topic, it’s normal to feel that kind of breakeven because you don’t have much attachment to your profit that is why its easy for you to risk it without taking cautious on your bet. Gambling will surely drained your funds if you consistently doing it because casino has unlimited funds while you have limited bankroll. The house edge will give casino an advantage that is why we always lose when we won because we keep coming back for more.e

Having alternate coins or tokens become useful in these kinds of situations, because if you have only Bitcoins and the fees go this high all of a sudden, you will have no option but to postpone almost everything that might require money, just like gambling, if you have altcoins, you can probably continue your activities with them until things normalize.

Such times make us realize how crucial it is to diversify our portfolios since we can be in need of any other coin when we face problems with transaction fees or any other issues that might occur unexpectedly.

We may have no choice but to use altcoins, as even high transaction fees for bitcoin transactions don't guarantee quick confirmation. Fortunately, we have many options available, and gambling sites have already prepared to address this issue by adding more payment methods. The gambling sites I use have a variety of altcoin options, so gambling isn't really a problem nowadays, unless you're using funds from your bitcoin wallet.

My current experience now in gambling is that I always play online in many different gambling games such as pokers, lucky 9 and also what we called "sabong". Same thing always is not that I'm greedy when I'm winning, I always win $200 in a day but in just days passed I would also lose $200. So right now I don't have a big time winnings so I would try to give myself a limit when to stop. But it's fun all good, the risk and the thrill it gives which makes me play more gambling of course not spending all my funds.

The high transaction fee currently in bitcoin network due to high congestion will affect allots of gambling platforms, am confident that lots of people will spot gambling with bitcoin, because it’s won’t really be funny spending that amount of money just because you want to deposit money into your gambling account. Some people are going to divert into altcoin, most people will take a break by depositing bitcoin, they will be depositing altcoin.

Am still gambling, but I deposited some amounts of money few weeks, I haven’t made any withdrawal from the money recently, even whenever I win, I keep on leaving the money in my wallet, that’s what am gambling with recently, but incase if I lose big, then I might take a break from gambling till the bitcoin network becomes less congested. I can’t spend that amount on gas fee and there is no assurance that am going to win after depositing.

Those people that do leave money in accounts are free but am sure it might still affect some of them sooner or later, because nobody knows when the transaction fee will reduce, if the amount they left in their gambling account get finished, some of them might find it difficult to deposit another amount back to their gambling site. But am sure people that are addicted to gambling will still deposit their money even with the high transaction fee issues.

Not a good idea to deal up with bitcoin since the fee is so high and we cannot be so sure the transaction speed since its also hard to get stuck while we really want to play the game immediately. Maybe its time to look for better alternative and litecoin is better option for this, they could also find other alts which offer more convenience to their user so that there will be no problem if the same issue with bitcoin will occur in future.

You have easily made the decision to not gamble for the now with cryptocurrency because you are not a gambler with a problem about control. You have easily accepted the situation but it is not the same for some other people who are struggling with it and know that even though they have decided to stay away from gambling for the now, they don't know how long that they will be able to stick to their decision without just saying "f*ck sh*t, I need to gamble, and then go ahead to fund their accounts to gamble with, not minding the fee again.

You will be surprised how many persons still fund their gambling account not caring about the transaction fee because they have the money to do so, and cannot wait. These persons are already exhibiting signs of problem gamblers.

They will be happy yes, but will be thinking about when they exhaust the money there and if the situation will remain the same.

That's the only way for us to still be able to gamble. We need to shift to another coin that is more stable because with what is happening to Bitcoin now, it may affect the overall crypto market, which could be bad for our crypto assets that are not stable. Looking at the price of Bitcoin, it's already dropping. Earlier, it was at $30k, but we weren't able to maintain that price, and we might see more downtrend in the days or weeks to come.

So in my case, I'm using USDT and XRP. At least with these, I will be able to save on the high fees of Bitcoin and transactions will be fast to confirm.

It looks like it's time to see altcoins being able to become popular again after the cost of bitcoin has skyrocketed. Maybe we will see a lot of altcoins on the list of every casino will grow because many gamblers are switching from using bitcoins for betting to preferring altcoins.

In this case, altcoins provide convenience for those who gamble because users can choose coins with transaction fees that are not too large. Yes, I also chose to use LTC or stablecoins to bet later after checking the bitcoin transaction fees.

I highly doubt that it will return to normal in a matter of days; if you look at the mempool and look at some transactions, you'll notice that some transactions are worth nothing, which means that there are some people out there who are deliberately sending dust and spamming the network, which has resulted in the current network congestion, and it's very unlikely that they'll stop this barbaric act anytime soon.

As for Op, as I previously stated, it is best if we switch to a widely accepted altcoin for the time being, and then return to our beloved BTC once the situation has stabilized.

most of the gamblers nowadays prefer to use other coins to be able to gamble to avoid traffic jams and high transaction fees, especially for small gamblers. surely small gamblers and big gamblers will reconsider making deposits using bitcoin when transaction fees are very high and gambling platforms understand this problem so they add several other types of coins to avoid problems like this.
a lot of gamblers nowadays who are moving to other coins to stay afloat can gamble in crypto casinos.

Still have some deposits for the month based on last month's budget but I will not pay these high fees if it is exhausted. The issue is that I am not comfortable using other coins apart from Bitcoin for my crypto stake. I have decided to halt all comes of Bitcoin transactions until this attack is over. It is quite painful but I have to decide to avoid spending more than my budget. This issue will affect the finance of some gambling firms but they can give clients other reliable transaction option. Some of my friends are suggesting I switch to a fiat gambling site but I also have to weigh my options. Nevertheless, my earnest desire is that this issue be testified as soon as possible.

Good for you though but this current crisis is not a new case for me as I have experience similar case of fee rise but on this preference it was fiat currency related. As of early this year, there was shortage of cash flow in my nation which lead to high increment of fee for withdrawal of cash by local terminals and this restricted and folded  a lot  of business and throughout this period fiat related casino were closing down due to the high fee and this prevented so many folks from gambling on physical casino and this time around same similar issue has come up with bitcoin and for three days now I have not gamble because of the high fee attached to the actual payment and am not ready to waste any coin just to bet on a game that's still under probability of winning and losing so I rather gamble localy for the being till the storm dies down.

I have no issue at all I've been using altcoins like Doge, Trx, and USDT on casinos I'm playing, there's no logic in using Bitcoin at this point in time, its like losing a big portion of your deposit just to play when other altcoins can offer fees lower than $1, this is the reason why casinos accept altcoins so gamblers will have a lot of options so they can continue to play, without thinking of the high fees.
High fees stop the flow of money for casinos if Bitcoin is the only option for deposit.

People use bitcoin usually because they want to invest to save their money in their wallet, the network problem is jammed if I'm not mistaken because there is a buildup of transactions from the BRC 20 trend and the coin meme is also pepe, just look at the ethereum network it's also the same when coin pepe lots of fomo comes gas fees for ethereum transactions are also increasing, that's what bitcoin lacked until now when the network is busy and many transactions are pending it will take time for it to complete. so it's best to stop to make transactions to help solve everything.

To be honest, I'm also a little worried about withdrawing my bitcoin from the casino because the site hasn't fully regulated high transaction fees so if they still use low transaction fees then my transaction will be delayed and stuck until it's confirmed by the network, so it's best to avoid bitcoin transactions at this time. the way to be confirmed quickly is to use high fees because that's the only way our money is confirmed by the network.

I've checked the transfer high priority and suggestion by my wallet and that's around $19, dude that is like higher than what I'm about to send. I have to stop all my necessary transfers since they'll be fine if I wouldn't do it for now. Hoping that by tomorrow things will be good and these fees will have to lie low, good thing my campaign will just have to credit it to our accounts and we've got a choice to gamble if ever we want to.
But for most, I can feel the pain of having to endure all of those transfer fees because if you have no choice and you want to gamble by transferring bitcoin, you have to do it. Unless you'll choose to deposit with altcoins that are not affected with these fees.

Avoid using Bitcoin to gamble for now, unless the gambling platform supports Bitcoin Lightening Network which is rare, even only limited numbers of crypto exchanges supports deposit and withdrawal of Lightening Bitcoin, now it's time to move back to Tron Network or Lite coin, I am sure that majority of those online gambling platforms supports more than just Bitcoin and Ethereum deposits so do your own research on your favorite online gambling platforms first.

There are some new gambling platform that only accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum deposits for gambling on their platforms, if there are no big gamblers on there platform they will feel the heat of less activity, a smart casino will have add more payment options from now on.

We are not even in a bull market yet and transaction fee has gotten this high, I wasn't expecting this costly fee from Bitcoin this sooner, it's almost the same thing with Ethereum and it's sickening.
