in my home country gambling is illegal or better, have to be government regulated (read it as owned by government) like the tobacco monopoly.
All the lotteries, slot machines are controlled by government and none can put their own machines without having the license to do so.
There are many casino online, roulettes and other gambling websites but the webserver must be in a country where gambling is legal, it's always up to the country to regulate it and gambling with BTC it's the same (at least for my country).

Probably it is legal in most countries, because nowadays it's not regulated as much as land-based gambling and online casinos where only fiat currencies accepted.

Here in my country Online gambling is legal, of course if you have a permit. Regardless if you are using Bitcoin or FIAT it should be legal if the countries laws are allowing it and illegal if they are prohibits it.
My entire country doesn't have a stand with bitcoin gambling though they are aware about bitcoin and they want to regulate it but still that it rumors. Bitcoin gambling is now popular since gamblers from casino's just want to stay home and find comfort through doing it.

Even if you country stands against it you can use VPN to to access offshore cryptocurrency gambling websites so that you can gamble without your government censoring it. There are a lot of ways around those gambling websites  so whether or not bitcoin is legal in your  you can still gamble.

That's another way to gamble if there are restrictions on your country and with those VPN, yes that's possible but still you need to take care when you use it.

There seems to be not legal casinos bitcoin yet. However, gambling in some countries is prohibited. Legality is indispensable, but gamblers never care about it.

it's depend on your the county, Some countries is legal and not legal.
yes, sometimes the people is not care about that if you are an addict in gambling, do not care about legal or not legal.
In mostly developed countries, bitcoins have become legal because they are aware of the fact that in future all the trading is going to be done with bitcoins as they are making their name in market very fast.

Bitcoin gambling cannot be legalized officially because no country will want to ruin their respect in front of other countries as gambling is considered to be a bad habit but every government is aware about bitcoin gambling in their country.
Yes, bitcoin gambling legality is hard to measure because in the first place there is no official act about legality of bitcoin gambling because it is hard for them to push because they have no control over that blockchain system.

The legalities of gambling vary from country to country where the people's culture is the main concern and beside government policies and connections are also a big factor like for example if you are operating a gambling casino and didn't comply a certain requirements mandated by the government then your operation is illegal, even online casinos are illegal to some countries.

Is Bitcoin gambling is legal?
One cannot generally say gambling is illegal or legal but all depend your country of origin or the country you are leaving at the moment. In some gambling is legal and one of the lucrative business while in some other country gambling is completely illegal and one cannot set up gambling business in those countries.

In my place, it can be considered illegal since bitcoin Casino had no permit to operate in our country.  The authority needs the casino to have full documents and licenses from the gaming board authority.  Though I am not sure about online casino such as these casino we have in bitcoin community today.  Though there had been no restriction or whatsover in our internet access, which means we can play in any online casino without our government knowledge nor permission.

In a world where people aren't able to determine whether BTC is legal itself you are asking whether its gambling is illegal LOL. In most of countries with an exception to some Gambling is quite much illegal. Moreover BTC gambling which is absolutely unregulated is somewhat more illegal but most countries might not have appropriate laws for it.

I think Bitcoin gambling is illegal because even Bitcoin isn't accepted in many country, so using them with a purpose is totally illegal

Ya their are many countries where gambling is illegal so definitely if you gamble through any source of medium its illegal. Also even if gambling is legal but bitcoin is not then too using btc for the gambling become illegal. So it will definitely depend upon the country and its polices towards it. May be better to avoid if some is not sure about both the aspects of it.


In most of the countries where gambling is legal in these countries bitcoin is also legal, may be anyone country is here where gambling is allowed and bitcoin is not allowed. But it is not easy to say that bitcoin gambling is illegal becasue all gambling sites have licenses then what is left the law for announce them that gambling sites are legal or illegal. Well i play gambling without this thinking and it is easy for me.

What's the association of the other choice in the poll "blockchain"? Bitcoin gambling is legal in my country but you need to know if your government is accepting and supporting bitcoin. But if not and there's a law about illegitimacy about bitcoin then you have to put yourself in a safe place of not doing it so. And if there's no clear rules on your country about bitcoin, there's nothing wrong to gamble.

Even in websites that have gambling licenses it depends on the country where you are playing and its laws, for exemple I live in Tunisia and the laws prohibt gambling but i still do it  Tongue . And for the countries that allow it, the gambling website will need the same licenses since bitcoin is a currency just like any other.

Yes. Bitcoin is a recognize cryptocurrency and is now used by almost everybody. It cannot get this far if its not legal. The regularization maybe not yet proclaimed in some countries but generally its a legal medium of exchange. Using it in gambling is not impossible since there are already lots of online games and bettings. The easiest way for its payment is thru bitcoin payment
In my opinion there is no gambling legal. All the gambling are illegal but people gamble anyway at their own risk.
In my country all types of gambling are illegal and as bitcoin is still decentralized therefore the governments has nothing to do with bitcoin, therefore the gamblers put their money here without any fear and hesitation. I don’t know about the other countries. May their governments allow their people to gamble anywhere ?

But maybe bitcoin gambling is legal in a country that accept bitcoin. If bitcoins and gambling are legal, then there's no other reason to make bitcoin gambling illegal, right? And if one is illegal, or even both illegal, then bitcoin gambling should not be legalized.

depends where u from.
if gambling online is illegal that even btc is.
if btc is illegal then it is.

Yes, because I think some countries banned bitcoin but I don't know exactly how many countries and what are those exactly countries but here in our countries bitcoin gambling is not banned or either illegal. As long as internet is not banned it is legal and everyone can still play bitcoin gambling.

It is illegal since no gambling sites have the certificate of legality, since they are anonymous, they are taking this advantage to make money. It is a very good business but requires a lot of money, and the risk is still there because you don't know if there are people who will gamble in your gambling site, if there would be no people, then you are going to be bankrupt and all the money that you have spent will going for nothing.

I agree with you that they are somewhat illegal because they need to avail themselves to the jurisdiction where they are based  so that they pay taxes to the government and  the gaming body of those countries but because they are online i think they take advantage of the people and the various governments to make some cool bucks.
