Not gonna lie, Mixer is very helpful to me ever since I join the casino signature campaign and earn some Bitcoin because the local exchange the I use frequently to received this funds is very suspicious and doesn’t allowed deposits from casino or from any wallet that has a connection to a crypto casino transaction.

I encounter an issue in the past about this that makes me more cautious and embrace the use of a mixer to hide the trace of gambling activity to my Bitcoin. I stopped using the mixer after the multiple seizes on the popular mixer and decided to use P2P exchange instead.

I've never heard this before, why will any crypto exchange not allow deposits from casinos? I am a gambler too but not so serious about gambling, I have never come across such claims before.

If this is true then it's a valid point to use a mixer, I have always gone against the use of mixers because I don't see any legal reason to use mixers, to me mixers are very fit for criminals but this is your point thus make some sense.

So back to your point, do you have any reasons why the exchange platform doesn't want to get involved with any casino deposits? There must be a very good reason for this, because it looks like they see casinos as money launderers that can get their business into problems someday or they already learned a lesson, can you say more about this? I will wait for a reply.

I remember there were friends whose local exchange accounts were also blocked because of funds deposited from gambling platforms. If I'm not mistaken, there are already a number of discussions about this as well involving big names like Coinbase. Gambling is oftentimes associated with shady money. This is probably the reason why some exchanges don't want to accept gambling money.

However, to address this by using a mixer is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. If gambling money is treated with suspicion or perhaps even labeled as tainted by certain exchanges, how much more those funds coming from mixers? Gambling is probably more acceptable than mixing. After all, gambling sites are licensed and regulated, compliant with KYC and AML policies, and so on. Mixers aren't.
