You try to deposit at an online casino with your bank card. The payment is declined. You then send Bitcoin or USDT to the same casino, and the crypto payment goes through.

Online gambling in the United States is regulated mainly at state level. That creates a simple problem. A state can legalise online poker, but its licensed sites can normally only serve players physically located inside that state. For casino games played against the house, this may not matter much.
