The comparison of investing in casino tokens or putting money on a gambling site's bankroll with investing in bitcoin seems not appropriate. I'm sure everyone knows that putting money in Bitcoin is a must. That user was able to spend $25,000 which makes me think he did some DYOR before taking the risks.
There's no mistake in putting money on gambling sites on their investment side. The mistake was, that the user didn't manage properly the investment on the way leading to that loss. Although he can't control the flow of the gambling site obviously, considering an exit is a wise way to minimize the possible losses and then move forward on other investments later on.
We can suggest him invest elsewhere so he can get more profit. And he should also be able to know when to get out of his investment with a profit and don't continue investing if he can't see a profit.
