It would be wise to keep your valuables in your pockets. At first, gambling is not a very cool game. It is like wasting your money. Above that, going for it with digital assets mean increasing the loss. That would be stupid actually.
All that glitters are not gold. Gambling with bitcoins or altcoins attracts due to the ease it offers, but it has greater disadvantages.
I wouldn't say that gambling is like wasting your money.
When you gamble you end up either losing your money or winning funds, of course the chance of you to lose funds is much higher then the chance of winning anything , but if you are gambling for fun you should be okay.
I think that most of the people who gambles for fun ends up with a smile and does not care at all about the lose they had
It is depend on us who gambles. If we just play because we just want to do something with our spare time and not aiming for profit, well that is just okay to play as long as you know how to handle yourself. Gambling with altcoins will do, I think there is no problem using altcoins in gambling, it is just the same crypto-currencies. It is depend on a gambling site if there are gambling sites accepting altcoins.
