Adoption of anonymous e-money is to great degree hindered by the lack of infrastructure to convert this currency to/from "meatspace" money. However, there is possible a method, using offshore gambling companies.
You're trying too hard. Gambling has always been a convenient money-laundering technique, as long as the casinos accept the kinds of money you're trying to launder. That's also why spook agencies get anti-money-laundering laws passed. If the casino will take your ecash and give you chips, and you want to make a pretense of gambling rather than just turning the chips back in for conventional euros, go bet ~half the chips on red, ~half on black, some insurance money on green, and tip the croupier, and the casino collects their 1/37 or 2/38 cut. ... Your winnings, sir.
