i think its for alternative usage...to save time!!!
opening multi bitcoin wallets will took much time rather than just having one especially if the money were distributed into a different wallet,so saving time is really wrong,i guess it's for a security reason just like what people said,don't save all of your money in the same place

In fact all the bitcoin wallets have different services all users used multiple wallet because no bitcoin wallet has a perfect services that is why. and the other bitcoin wallet does not accepting bitcoin from gambling they will ban the users and not recover the amount of bitcoin from gambling.

There are users with multiple bitcoin wallets to used by cashing out their income in gambling to make it legal currency, and they have a bitcoin wallet which is they use it for their online transaction, and not all bitcoin wallets has great services that is why they will try other bitcoin wallets.

Exactly at not all online wallets have same services and others have unique one. Also the accessibility is one of the factor.

E.g for Coinbase, the rates here is really interesting but it doesn't support yet our country so we have no other choice but to use other online wallet. So choosing local exchanger wallet is the only way. But on the other side, our local exchanger have some services where we can use our bitcoin in various ways where in other web wallets it doesn't have.

Just wondering why people use so many Bitcoin wallets.

I'll do the same what other's member did a multiple bitcoin wallets. In my Bitcoin core wallet, every week I put bitcoin savings into it, while   in the other wallet I saved bitcoin for my daily expenses use only, then in other exchange platform  which I fully trust I saved for trading use only. Once I sold something I divided it according to the category that I want to put in.

many of those services come at a cost too. for example when you are using an online web wallet you are taking huge risks of losing your coins or even getting hacked and that service you are so happy about can ban your account and take your money at any time.

I think they just want to try the different services of different bitcoin wallet providers. And that is making their information very secured at all if they are going to have a lot of bitcoin wallet addresses so that their transactions cannot be traced easily at all. For me, there is no a problem if someone is going to use a lot of bitcoin wallets.

Maybe they jus want secure their coins in different addresses. Just like bank, we can do open save money in different bank companies, samething in bitcoin save it in different wallet address.

because don't put all of your money in the same bag,divide it,and when one lost,the rest still there

That's right, mostly users have many wallets because they don't feel safe keeping all their bitcoins in one place because in case if you are having all of them in one place and that gets hacked or something else happens to it then you are ruined.
Honestly i think almost all members here are using multiple wallets in many reason not only for safety of their wallet.. also they are using other wallet because of good benefits.. that you will not get in other wallet. just sample coinbase or xapo you dont need to pay for fee for every transaction unlike you using bitcoin core block chain or electrum that you need to pay for fee to send it to others.

I am someone who has used a large number of bitcoin wallets, starting from 2012. Those days, they used to give promotional offers for using the wallets. For example, there was a BTC0.01 bonus for using the Coinbase bitcoin wallet. I just created 3-4 wallets, and then withdraw the coins to my main wallet. However, at times I lost coins as well. For example, when Instawallet closed down, I lost around BTC0.05.

I think for security reason and also none can trace how many bitcoins he have. Again, many scammers or cheater also use more than one wallet.

I am also use many wallet for security reason and also  in my country bitcoin is illigal.

maybe they're having so many bitcoin wallets for the anonimity,so no one can trace how much the exact amount of bitcoin they owned
Simple security reasons.
Most bitcoin users have many wallets because they fear that if they lose their only wallet that contains all of your bitcoins, then all of your bitcoins are lost.

Besides, having multiple wallets is convenient as well. I use xapo online wallet for multiple, frequent small transactions and have hardware wallet for long-term investments.
