I think every gambling is illegal
nope thats not right,all the gambling that dont pay taxes
is considered illegal and those who pays taxes is not thats the basis
to prove the rights of gambling to operate.

But since it was asked here in cryptocurrency site,government has
no jurisdiction here so who can says its illegal or legal?

Gambling is whether online or not as long as the government is strict and has a mandatory rule of law about declaring it as illegal, whether you gamble at your own home or with fake money gambling is illegal. That's the logic that I can think for now but very few countries declaring bitcoin gambling is illegal but there's a lot of it that has a law about gambling as illegal thing or even a type of crime.
I know most gambling sites and casinos are always strict with age but illegality depends on the country and as long as these online casinos are involved, there is really no form of illegal policies that can affect them most especially with the whole bitcoin usage which makes every gambler anonymous and no way the government can track the operation of the site or the users. Legality of bitcoin gambling will be a concern only up to individuals as bitcoin is completely unregulated.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

In fact it is NO, any gambling is illegal and using also a bitcoin it is no. Bitcoin is not totally legal around the world, there are some countries who banned the bitcoin because of being crypto-currency that will also use in illegal transaction like gambling with bitcoin. Infact, there is no way to become legal the gambling maybe the bitcoin. If bitcoin gambling is legal why it is the public that the user also unknown? Simple it is illegal.

You can't just make a general statement like this saying that any form of gambling with Bitcoin is illegal, different countries have different laws.
Bitcoin isn't even recognized as a currency in most countries, I assume many Bitcoin casino's are using that as a loophole, they're in a gray legal area.

The fact that casino's and Bitcoin offer some form of anonymity has nothing do do wether it's illegal or not.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?

To be honest, i don't have exact idea about it. But as i think the answer will be about the law, and also it is depend on your country. In most of the country gambling is illegal and also in most of the country gambling is legal. Then about the online gambling, in my point of view, online gambling is legal that's why every gambler could play it without any restriction and law.
Gambling is legal as the government has no concern with it and also gambling cannot pave a threat to the security of the country or any other national activity but it will become illegal when it will take place between two countries because it can pose threat to the peace of two countries as sometimes groups or communities are involved in this gambling and obviously, the losing side wouldn’t be having good thoughts about the winning side so it depends upon the situation  on the bases of which gambling will become legal or illegal.

I see bitcoin is not prohibited in any country for bitcoin gambling because gamblers using bitcoin to place a bet and not money. since bitcoin is not a currency then people can gamble with bitcoin. but if in the future, bitcoin become a currency, then maybe bitcoin will be prohibited to use for gambling.

There is nothing illegality in bitcoin based gambling but i am not sure whether all the gambling sites are registered according to conventional way but from what i understand some gambling sites are registered in some free heavens,there are good genuine sites and make sure you enquire about the site before depositing your money whether it is legit or not.

it's really the one you say because it's a topic that makes no sense at all. and whose name is gambling in every country is prohibited and if I think also bitcoin gambling is certainly illegal and will not be legalized by the state

What? Keep posting like this and you'll get a sweet and juicy ban for Christmas. Your post is not only pointless but also lacks any meaning, not to mention grammar, punctuation, and it doesn't even begin with a capital letter. Back to school you go!

Legal cases in online gambling only lead to a particular person's report, or the government gets an unusual transaction account account from a suspected person, so in fact this is not really legal gambling for some countries especially developed countries, do not compare gambling especially Crypto gambling with religion because the business is only for people who want to open their minds by using positive economic laws in the free market.
And these days, except your country makes bitcoin illegal, you can hardly get screwed since you can just make use of bitcoin gambling sites and get your winnings in your wallet. Bitcoin gambling can only be illegal if it is declared by the country of the player as illegal but does that really stop anyone from continuing when you can easily stay anonymous without the government breathing down on your neck ? No!

Gambling Bitcoin and ordinary gambling are just the same things I think. It's just that if ordinary gambling uses ordinary currency, then Bitcoin gambling will use cryptocurrency as a tool for transactions. With cryptocurrency, I think people would prefer Bitcoin gambling instead of ordinary gambling. People will be easier to play gambling online and in secret without known to many people, there are some people who like that. With cryptocurrency, transactions and money transfers become encrypted and confidential. It is difficult for people to track and know gambling players or gambling service providers.

That's true, there are a lot of protocols with which one can hide his identity online and since most of these  bitcoin gambling websites are hosted on offshore servers certain government restrictions and actions to take them down will be  fruitless and so the worst they could do is to pronounce it illegal but cannot stop it.

Please stop making crap topics that make no sense at all. You ask if bitcoin gambling is illigal and the poll had two answers Bitcoin and blockchain??? ? Wtf? You don't even know what you are saying you should not be asking questions or making topics. Bitcoin gambling is legal anywhere gambling is. It differs from country to country so f you really want to know then do some research and find out yourself.

Yes, crappy topics that contain crappy answers. We have three replies just on the first page stating that gambling is illegal without taking into account anything else.

I would add to your reply that in some countries where gambling is legal and has been regulated, bitcoin gambling is in a loophole as theoretically gambling sites should have a license to operate in those countries, but bitcoin status is not clear, so they operate there.

I think it depends on how you pay the taxes on your winnings, at least in the USA.

Not really but I think it depends on your country as well. If you think that you are playing in an illegal site then it is going to be illegal for you even when your country allow you to gamble. It is better for you to stick with a legal gambling website so that you could avoid any unnecessary things that might happen to you in the future

For opening a gambling website you always need a license to operate it. So needs govt. approval for registering and running a gambling site. However, there are a few countries which don't allow it. So those sites are banned in those countries which can be accessed using VPN.

I think every gambling is illegal

I humbly disagree. Gambling is Legal every country has its own land base casino that operates under regulated law. Underground gambling is illegal, which is set to have violations once proven guilty of doing it.

In case Bitcoin Gambling. There's no law that prohibits gambling using Bitcoins, so in general it is legal (to those countries who legally accepted Bitcoins).
Bitcoin is very free to use and we all know that there is no rule that can regulate Bitcoin. Some gambling is indeed illegal in some countries, but when we use Bitcoin then we are free to do whatever we want including playing gambling. But look when a Bitcoin is set and there is a regulation in certain countries then I am pretty sure that Gambling with Bitcoin can be said to be illegal. This is a law that is perfectly applicable to a country and if there is one that legalizes it then there may be only a few countries and the majority will surely say it as an illegal thing.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?
In my country gambling is not legal but they will allow it and give some rules and regulations to follow like casinos it was implemented but prohibited some rules to be legal and allow in one place. But in bitcoin there is no law and we did not know if it is legal in every country.
