Gambling is not legal in many countries.
This is the main reason people consider bitcoin or other similar currencies because you do not need to involve the bank to deposit the money and you will not get into trouble having a money trail to a gambling website and with crypto currencies you can easily deposit and withdraw without much fuzz and so is the reason people are opting for it but still we need to see a huge growth in the crypto based gambling websites as the fiat sites still rules this space.
