Wikipedia is the website and this kinda good for an information source, maybe that is not advisable that to have promoted gambling and it will publish the gambling industry regarding gambling bounty. Or maybe there are instances that may be the owner didn't like the gambling industry to involve.
I don't think Wikipedia is a reliable source because first of all the information there could be edited by anyone which means someone who has evil deeds could change it easily. They could change the list of reputed ones into a fraud one but if you are going to find an authentic one then you go for this forum, you can spot a legit crypto casino in this forum like Vegascasino which has a feature that you can even play live so you can guarantee that there's no anomaly occurs.
You sound reasonable and I am impressed with your opinion. There are a lot of people who are not qualified to gamble and it won’t be right to expose them to it since Wikipedia is a lace for everyone.

Let’s leave casino site information to the places it can easily be located, whoever that is in serious need of any information regarding gambling should know where to get it, must  not be on Wikipedia. There are so many avenues that have displayed where gambling sites can easily be seen so there is no need placing it on an open place where we can get everyone talking about gambling and seeing.

A simple list indexed by country name and name of the casino on wikipedia. Who wants to help?
I honestly see nothing wrong with the idea, it would have really been nice but my challenge is with the bad reputation gambling has already. Wikipedia is opened for everyone both, the young and old.

Having casino sites on Wikipedia will be bad for minors because it would expose them quickly to the game. There are other people who have suffered traumatic experiences and are not fit to gamble because they can easily get addicted and having casino sites on Wikipedia would expose them to gambling and I feel it’s bad. Whoever that’s looking for a good casino sites that accept Bitcoin should carry out a proper research. There are a number of them here on this forum.

You know I own a little shop in our town. An internet cafe', even though so small still there are customers coming thru and most of them are students under at he age of 16. Almost all depends on the source of wikipedia for their research, what do you think will happened if those informations will be available for them. kids theses are explorative and want to try something new. With few bucks, and a smartphone they could gamble anytime and anywhere they want even at home instead of studying. Wikipedia should stay as it is I guess and should not be a tool of information that could lead to our futures' demise.
Kids these days are naturally good with research and they know how to explore, there are already existing sites that talks about casinos that accepts Bitcoin and even ranks them, so if these kids are truly interested in playing, they will still do other research that would link them to such sites. If you doubt this, you can carry out a little questionnaire on the kids that attend your café to know the possibility of them knowing casino sites that accept Bitcoin even though it is not on Wikipedia. You will be amazed at the answers you will get.

I support the idea totally and I feel it will be a great way to make Bitcoin and gambling more popular and it would even make search easier for those who are in need of the sites.
We know that kids are very good with research and that is the more reason why we should not bring it to their faces or make gambling sites easier for them to locate. Most kids go on Wikipedia strictly for educational research and exposing them to gambling at that tender age is no right.

It’s better for those who have interest in gambling to carry out an indebt study on their own, rather than making it easier for them. Gambling is not for underage and we should try as much as we can to avoid anything that would make them know about it. I am totally against having casino sites on Wikipedia and I doubt if Wikipedia itself would accept that.

You can always start your own wiki if you don't have permission to add to the Bitcoin Wiki.  I don't have an issue adding a casino list to it since they have no problem listing bitcoin exchanges.

And who is going to browse your wiki for the required information? Anyone can set up his own wiki with minimal effort and cost, and then add content to it. But attracting traffic is the most difficult point. Wikipedia is an already established site and it has tens of millions of visitors every day. That's why I say that setting up a thread here would be a better idea. This forum is also quite well established, and if we create a thread here then it can help a lot of the gamblers.
We know the reputation of Wikipedia but it is against on their terms for sure on making gambling site/casino list that accepts cryptocurrency.
So it is basically pointless on making up one and in fact people can still find up gambling sites with having some minimal effort on searching up
on the net.It do really need some small effort.

The problem with adding these sort of articles to Wikipedia is that since it is editable by anyone, scammers may delete the names of reputed gambling sites and then add the links to scam sites. And in the end, all this will have the opposite effect. People will lose their hard earned money after visiting these scam sites and the reputation of Wikipedia, cryptocurrency and online gambling as a whole will get tarnished. So I would strongly suggest using Google, rather than Wikipedia for this purpose.
You have a good point actually but I don’t think that scammers would do that. These scammers are very smart and they know actions that can easily backfire.  Replacing genuine sites with scam site would surely get busted and people will give reviews on the sites and most of this scam sites try as much as they can to keep their records clean, so they might not like that at all.

I am just not in support of it because I feel it will bring too much attention to gambling and would expose minors to the game which would still tarnish the reputation of gambling more than it is  already. Many already have negative opinions against gambling, now having it on Wikipedia would make it worse.

Yes, its one of the probabilities too why it isn't really possible to make up some list thru Wikipedia.There are really some various reasons which
had been mentioned already earlier.Simple google search doesn't really hurt at all but I don't know why people are way too lazy just to do a simple thing?

Actually i agree with you and i will try to share about the website of casino who accept the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but first time you must the link source of Wikipedia on here and the community of cryptocurrencies can makes contribution about the gambling website while accept the bitcoin on there. It will gives good information about the gambling website around the world which accept the bitcoin. And i like your ideas started on bitcointalk.

I think this is a splendid idea and it would be so kind of you take the initiative and start one.
My only concern is that anyone can edit these articles so they might not be 100% accurate.

That is the used of  Wikipedia, as a tool of information, gambling shouldn't be there because there is some young age that needs parental guidance and kids where like to explore everywhere and Wikipedia is easy to access and well known as a source of idea. Just like google chrome company and Facebook I think they never ads gambling site, unlike poker. Indeed, we have a better place for gambling and that is here in the forum and those websites for adults only.

Maybe wikipedia is not an appropriate place to store all data regarding crpyto gambling website. Maybe what we need is a wikipedia like crypto website that will list all the gambing website. I don't have any problem with having that kind of website to get information. I just go to section gambling here and from there i can find different list of gambling websites.

No need for Wikipedia, just wait for someone to start a thread here with the information that you need or maybe there's already an existing thread like that here. It is better if its here because it can be edited instantly and feedback can be seen right away by the thread starter if there's a need to edit, add or update.

why should there be any?!
wikipedia is not a place to advertise businesses, and i have never seen a list of any other businesses there either so i don't know why you think such list for "bitcoin casinos" should exist! there already are many other websites that list them with feedback, ranking,... which i think is more than enough.

There's plenty of "categories" on Wikipedia. For example, "Companies based in [Insert State Here]". TBH, not sure how it's any different.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Companies_based_in_Ontario

@OP, the problem is that Wikipedia tends to use Category pages for purposes like these, and generally AFAIK Category pages primarily include businesses/operations which already exist & have a page on Wikipedia.

I'm assuming many of the casinos probably don't have a Wikipedia page already, and a large majority of them probably wouldn't be eligible for one (I highly doubt the page will stay up long for a small casino, for example).

Why not just create a thread here and update everytime instead of Wikipedia and let the community contribute? I don't think it will be restricted by admin/mods. Just dedicate some time to update. It would be nice if someone search on the internet and the first page to appear is the thread on bitcointalk.

Haha you are correct, instead of saying Wikipedia page here. He may write about that wiki directly.

After he made the wiki page after he shared here means people may merit him with high numbers now it is consider as suggestion nothing else. There are old threads talks such casino sites and etc. May be he needs, he may check with that op and use it with his permission.

I think Wikipedia is not a good place where to promote gambling, because they are very strict on it. I don't know if that website is the best for gambling-related stuff, so far I didn't see everyone on some page that relate gambling. Maybe they think that it contains bad to practice especially in minor age. We have here a community in the forum that we can directly ask, and of course we are different than Wikipedia website.

I disagree, if you really wanted to see which casino's really accepts bitcoin then this community is the answer. Besides, wikipedia has a very strict rule as far as what you can post in their page and as soon as they realize that you are promoting something against their TOS, sooner or later it will be flagged down and taken offline.
