I'm actually playing with ETH when gambling and most of the time using BTC, but the problem is that BTC is getting expensive and when your think about it when gambling the price of BTC is high and if you just gamble it than saving it you can lose a lot of amount than just saving it and keep the value increasing. This is why I try myself not to gamble whenever I have a free time, I just distract myself to other things like playing video games or sports just so that I won' tempted to gamble using BTC or ETH. I know that what I'm doing is worth it and also that I won't get addicted on gambling. I know that BTC will be big in the future and I will not regret on saving it than using it to gamble.
i think this is why that many people is using other coins to playing gambling and they don't want to use their bitcoin because bitcoin itself become worth to sell. i think ETH is still getting expensive too like bitcoin, the only one coin that i know is still cheap is dogecoin and we can buy much of doge in the market then we can use to playing gambling.
to me i think that if you are treting everything in bitcoin then it may not be a problem for your. because bitcoin is your basic currency then. but if you are converting your fiat into bitcoin then it can cause it to your.
