Still no go today, but the good news is that the fee area slowly going down. I missed the $200 - $300 which I saw posted by yahoo62278, and based on that, there's a major decline already as the fee is now $30, but like you said it's still impractical to gamble at this moment. I have few balance in my debit card, I can use it in our fiat sportsbook but I woudn't still be satisfied as I want to have a longer session, so I'll just probably wait, few more days and everything will be back to normal.
Fees are still unstable, and this is indeed the effect of the Halving and Rune Protocol appearing in Bitcoin. But there are still other options besides using Bitcoin, you can use Fiat or altcoins, but it depends on each gambling platform whether they provide other coins.
But of course this situation will not always happen, costs will return to normal and stable.
Now the transaction fee has dropped quite drastically from yesterday's highest fee.
The highs are now around $22 and certainly not good enough for gambling or other transactions.
