Additional Information I found on a tropical fish website:
And I would like to stress that even though they CAN live in a small unheated bowl, it doesn't mean they SHOULD. They do like small hiding places, but I think it is safe to say that for the vast majority of fish in general, the more space they have to swim around in, the better off they will be. And since the beta is tropical, HEATED water (around 80 or so degrees) is best. To not have a heater means that the water would likely never reach beyond around 72 degrees, and the temperature would fluctuate greatly from night to day, causing more stress for the beta. That's all. Enjoy your betta! From: badmanstropicalfish.com
