Only 1 of my friends I recommended to play on a crypto gambling site. Even before he didn't have any crypto at all although he knew about Bitcoin and some other assets.
It happened because my friend asked me where I bet while some of his friends were playing on local sites. My friend was very excited but didn't immediately create an account and try.
After a few weeks when we hung out, he asked me to tell him everything and I had to tell him how to get crypto to bet. I also told them that some crypto casinos also accept fiat deposits. But they were more interested in creating an exchange account so I had to guide them more.
My friend liked the site I recommended, especially with a little luck in the beginning. Now I don't know if my friend is still playing on the site I recommended or not. It's been a while since I contacted him, but he seems to still enjoy playing there.
It seems like your friend was initially excited about trying out a crypto gambling site after you recommended it, especially since he wasn't familiar with crypto but knew about Bitcoin. You guided him through the process of getting crypto and showed him how to create an account. He enjoyed the site, especially in the beginning when luck was on his side. Although you haven't checked in with him recently, it sounds like he was still enjoying the experience. It’s always interesting to see how people adapt to new ways of gambling once they get started!
