I heard that many of the crypto casinos were really considering it for a while, but in the end, they were just chickens hahaha
What you have heard is true, there was a time when cockfights were held in European countries and bets were placed on cockfights on casino platforms. These cockfights were essentially brutal killings so people could not tolerate them. This was the main reason why the government of the country banned this cockfight and casino companies banned this cockfight. However, this cock fight still happens in different parts of the country, but it is not very noticeable. This cock fight is seen in some regions of our country. The men there organize this cockfighting game to maintain this tradition of primitive civilization.
But cockfighting still exists in several Asian countries. The government may find it difficult to ban it because it has become a traditional part that may be difficult to eradicate from that country. People there already consider cockfighting as part of entertainment, so they still play it and bet on cockfights. The men still desire to maintain this tradition as part of their country's local culture, so this is still difficult for the government to ban. Even though the government has tried to ban it by closing cockfighting venues, later cockfighting venues will appear in other locations and become secret places that only a few people will know about.
I agree with you on the popularity of these games in some regions compared to other regions and that makes more sense as to why the government in some countries have paid a deaf ear to some of such games and has not had the time to regulate, restrict or even ban them, this is because several times we have seem this games being played at the traditional level and on special occasions that warrant such games being displayed.
Although cockfight is also very popular in my country, but only in the northern part of the country where we still have animal rearer that may want to enjoy and test the straight of their animals.
