Most sites, at least dice sites, provide either a login url (Just-Dice, SatoshiDice) or ask for a user name and password (BitDice, PrimeDice).

One of the benefits of Bitcoin gambling is betting anonymously.

There has been a couple of sites however that allowed you to login with your social media profiles, though they seem to be dead now Smiley

Do you think sites should offer the option of login via social media profile as well as the normal username/password?
it does not seem necessary because many gamblers want to hide their identity while gambling. in my country gambling is illegal so it would be better to create an account on the gambling site anonym. but if the gambler likes that option because there's no need to create an account on that site which is time consuming and just needs to connect it to a social media account it's good too.

Yepp. Most of the gamblers are like to hide their identity for future purposes and as we can see all people are using other username such as name of idols, pets or cartoon character because they do not wanto get accessed by other people especially the bad ones who will likely to scammed.
People specially gamblers do really like to remain anonymous specially on this field and they dont really like to expose themselves and as you said more on those who have plans on scamming someone. Leaving without trace would be the first priority here but well we are not talking about scammers but hiding identity here on playing gambling. Having an option on doing log-in on social media isnt bad at all if the site will put up a kind of logged-in but im really sure that no one would really uses that stuff.

Firstly, it would be none of the above as gamblers would like to have their identity hidden for their own purposes. Social media accounts have a tendency to get hacked and a lot of personal information can be used against you and can be used in a myriad of ways that shouts confidientiality. Gambling sites that asks for login crdentials such as this are a no no to most gamblers

popular online gambling casino doesnt need or doesn't have this option to be able to login, mostly it was just a email for confirmation and you'll just need to provide username and that's it. No more identifiers.
Most website that are requiring social media log-in are scammed and others are for advertisement facebook page like of their website so that gamblers would know that many people like this website and eventually it will looks legit.
