But LN is really good implementation to a casino so that Bitcoin holder can still hold and gamble at the same time. It’s just not that popular and a waste of resources for casino side.
The problem with Lightning Network is you must use on chain first before can use off chain Lightning. You need to do an on chain transaction to open your Lightning Network channel and it requires costly on chain transaction fee.
I just opened Electrum and when I open a channel, I need to pay 0.002 BTC or the equivalent of $90 at the current price, will that fee enter the bitcoin lightning network or just open a channel?
Well so far I haven't tried anything about the lightning network so I still have very minimal knowledge.
I don't think volatility will affect gamblers, they always spend the money on average, if they win, they will withdraw it immediately and won't keep it too long in the account so volatility is meaningless, unless you are really afraid of it then choose stablecoins.
Volatility is only a concern if you are gambling using an altcoin that does not have good liquidity. However, if you are using altcoins with millions of trading volume, their price would not easily dump or pump, unless we are in a bull or bear season. In my opinion, using USDT is the best alternative to this. With a $1 transaction fee, I think it's affordable for most gamblers. If we consider it a waste, we should prevent frequent withdrawals.
Casinos always provide good altcoins with high liquidity, if it is low then the casino usually will not provide altcoin deposits with low volume.
And on average, altcoins in casinos are already popular among the public, of course they often gamble with altcoin deposits as an alternative in terms of low costs.
Wellh for stablecoins or USDT is better if someone who is afraid of its volatility then stablecoins are the best way so as not to panic when altcoins fluctuate.
