If the network will not split and we just have a soft fork then there is really no problem anywhere. Life goes on and we just have an upgraded bitcoin software.
But if there would be a hard fork where there would be more than one blockchain then the problems will arise. Everyone holding bitcoins for their users are questioned if they will be giving out all the coins in both chains.

we still don't know yet what the results of Segwit itself because could be bad for bitcoin but also it could be good for bitcoin itself but to avoid bad results for that moment i think withdraw all of our bitcoin or maybe if some people want to still gambling without wait the results of that date i think change it all to the altcoins would be good because there are plenty of gambling sites who accept several altcoins

Segregation of network will be happen on once Segwit2x has been activated soon. Now most of the people fear about BIP 91 lock which is gonna happen on August 1st. However, this will never do nothing to gambling site or gambler. Just keep calm and hold the bitcoins as much we can on the week near to august 1st.

It's true that gambling sites doesn't let you give access to the private keys of your wallet. I have the same plan as others moving out my balance temporarily and stop my gambling activity before August 1 because the sportsbook that I go to isn't segwit ready. They have no plans or anything related about it.
thats actually the best solution to do around this period move funds out to a wallet you have access to the private keys of your wallet

 
What happens to our bitcoins that are in an account on a gambling site that isn't SegWit ready and there is (or isn't) a hard fork after August 1st?
You could lose the other half of your coins (if there will be a split)which is not good if you have a huge amount sitting in a gambling site.
its not a guarantee that you will lose the other half  i think this will be at the discretion of the betting company to decide if they can give us the other split coins, we have to wait and see

before segwit , in end july i want stop ga3mbling
play again and deposit again after segwit end
I have actually the same questions on my mind too regarding on this matter that how gambling sites would prepare on this upcoming segwit.Im glad that they are preparing already just been posted above by a user about plans of Cryptogames. Hope FJ would have the same preparations too not only to these sites but all gambling sites should really plan as well and as a player, i would do the same thing too which i would pass on playing gambling on those days and wait for the hype to  be over.
Why unnecessarily taking the risk, still how many days left only 10 days right just keep your bitcoins safe in your wallet and just watch what is going to happen that's it. Without doing gambling if you do not get sleep means you can think but this is not a big matter for ordinary gamblers. I stopped playing and stopped my transactions. 

Another way is to gamble on sites that use ethereum or usd, there are actually still 10 days to do the transaction but we have to keep playing safe, chances are I will also stop the game around 27 july and wait until the decision segwit announced. During that time I will not trust any bitcoin transactions because there will be many bad guys who will take advantage.
Playing with ETH and other altcoin would really be a good conversion but to play safe better not to play at all and we can really hold up for just few days before tending to play gambling again. You are right we should not really trust bitcoin transactions specially on the nearest days of August 1. If you dont like to suffer or experience problems then better to avoid as early as we can.

They should be ready as it's the standard. The only thing that bother me is if the gambling site provide bankroll investment, they should give statement regarding what should the investor do.

From reading threads in other parts of the forum, people are saying that before August 1 comes around, that you should withdraw your bitcoins from exchanges that are not SegWit ready and where you don't have control of the private key and put your bitcoins into wallets where you do possess the private key.

Does this advise also hodl true for gambling sites where your bitcoins are held in a wallet that you don't own/control the private key?

What happens to our bitcoins that are in an account on a gambling site that isn't SegWit ready and there is a hard fork after August 1st?
The gambling website will probably decide on which chain your coins will belong. At least they have the power to do so.
Crypto-games have outlined their plan in case of a fork: http://blog.crypto-games.net/2017/07/crypto-games-bip148uasf-contingency-plan.html

But that will most likely not be needed if BIP91 activates.

I think most services, casinos included, will try to do the same - split coins and release both coins to their owners, because it calms their users so they don't massively withdraw before the fork day. And overall it's a good plus to their reputation, while keeping forked coins for themselves would be viewed as dishonest practice. I personally going to keep my investments in crypto-games and YOLOdice during August 1st, since both operators have promised to release forked coins to all BTC owners.

This is confusing time for bitcoin users and many bitcoin based sites are preparing to benefit from this situation.
No sites should decide which chain to accept before a clearer way is found. Either they should give a choice to users are ask them to withdraw their funds.

if the owner of gambling site is really care with their member, i am sure he will give statement that their bitcoin is safe in their wallet so they don't have to worried. they should give clarification that in 1st august, the withdrawal will be disable because of segwit and offline network so members will anticipate this by withdraw before or after segwit.
They should do because that is a standard already, but I would not still gonna put my money in gambling sites during that event just to minimize the risk. I have to ensure I control the key and I think not gambling for at least a day is just fine with me just to ensure safety.
Hopefully there will be no problem this upcoming segwit and people will educate themselves so they will know what to do with their bitcoins to be safe.

Theymos gave a suggestion that if you have some bitcoins in some exchanges or other sites whose PVT keys you dont control then it will be better to transfer them to the address which is under control as during the course of event things may get disruptive.
I dont know about the other gambling sites but i do received an email from crypto games and they send me this link:
Crypto-Games BIP148/UASF contingency plan



That is one of the btc casino investment i have and i am really happy that they have the customer service right. And i am very thankful for that because they have to close for a few days or maybe even longer just to make sure that everything is accounted for.
This is a very great idea that they will shut down for a day or weeks to be ready I'm sure after the segwit there will be several bugs and it need a trial and error for it, so that the customer will be satisfied and feel secure at their website.
It's nice, and I think those who not sent mail they all have very good security for their wallets and there is no problem to save on their website. This is also possible right. Because I did not receive any mail regarding this issue from any site. But I kept some coins in local exchange they sent a message like withdraw my coin and do any transaction until next month 1st week.
