Well, I experienced this yesterday. My friend and I decided to gamble at a live casino and he gamble there in poker and sit on the table.
I have an idea in player poker in Online casino but I did not try to play in Live casino. At that moment while watching him playing I think it is very easy to identify your opponent's faces and defeat than in online gambling casinos.

Which do you prefer to gamble poker in an online casino or in live casinos?

Indeed, can you consider that Live casinos is have an advantage over online casinos?

In my opinion, playing poker live is much more interesting than sitting and playing at the monitor. But in fact it all depends on the player and his country of residence, as there are a number of reasons why not everyone can afford to play live. In some cases, this is hindered by the law in some distance from the gambling house.

The only difference I see between them is the impact of pressure while playing.

Playing in online casinos, you are comfortable in what you are doing, will show no signs of being scared or being a blackout on what next move should you do. In a live casino, you are playing in front of your opponents so the pressure is there and the ambiance is so serious.


You just think of that because you are not on the table. Try to become one of the players on the table and you will feel the pressure.


I'd rather go playing online to avoid live audience pressure. I'm not really comfortable with it.

In qualms on comparing the two, I guess they both have terms of advantages and disadvantages in my opinion, While both have the same aspect of playability and understanding with the play method, I guess the differences for them is the execution with the playing field while online poker tends to the comfort of your home and convenience because you can surely play if you have internet to connect and I guess anonymity is the part why I like online gambling but the only disadvantage is you can not see the emotions and reactions of your opponent you don't have access with the expression advantage,

While on live casino bets this is a major output for certain gamblers they surely want to see their opponents reaction to tend their decision, and another advantage is you can sure make friends at almost progression of the game, While the things that I don't like about a live poker  game is you can not play anonymously, and on your comfort zone, while you need to go to an actual casino place, this is the thing that I don't like even though you can socialize with other people I'd rather stay on the comfort of my home and place an anonymity for my security.

Of course, just like any other games, people prefer the traditional way of playing it live in a table, reading and seeing every body language of your opponents so that you can have the advantage. I haven't try playing it online, but it seems that there are individuals who would rather play it this way. Maybe they wanted to remain anonymous, doesn't want to show their face and negate the ability of your opponent to read you. Poker is a game of bluffs, so in an online games they can't really scrutinize your every move so you can bluff as you like.

I will tell you the difference in one word.

TITTS!

I have been lucky to travel a lot for business. This gave me access to some of the best hotels in the world. Many people never got chance to even lay their eyes here. Scotch and wine so good it would make you cry.
But nothing compares to the amount of tits you see in front of your face when you are in a live casino. Man some of these girls can make you horny with just the way they look at you..

The difference that we often discussed before. Some people prefer direct casinos and some also prefer online casinos. For, the atmosphere is more fun playing in the casino directly. But online casinos can play anywhere without having to go anywhere. Actually there are many differences between online casinos and direct casinos, it's just that I can't say in detail the difference.

It depends on the situation. Gambling poker at casino is indeed more fun to play yet it's not convenient to everyone specially those who are spending their whole day at work everyday. They both have a lot of advantages and disadvantages; it's up to your life style on how will you view it.

Playing live and playing online have it's pros and cons. It's up to your preference and your schedule. Playing live gambling takes most of your time in a day but you've got the luxury also of feeling the atmosphere of the venue and the crowd. That look in the face, don't be conceive by that as it might mislead you.


Just like in the movies? ;D

I bet that kept you distracted from playing seriously.  I hope you did not lose that much :P

---

It would be best to be in a live Casino because you can see people's reaction.  You can tell if they are nervous or excited and somehow guess what is on their hand.  As of the cards distribution, I think it does not matter that much since the possibility of having good and bad cards is the same.

Which do you prefer to gamble poker in an online casino or in live casinos?
I prefer to play poker through an online casino but I also like the intense feeling that the live casino is bringing. It's easy to say and look at their faces and defeat them with our words but they won't let their opponents see their weakest point that's why they are hiding through their facial reaction.

Sort because you are with them playing face to face but for shy type people, online casino is the choice.

If your a maniac yeah it will make you horny but if you know how to respect your wife then that’s another thing,you come to Casino to Play and bet not to sneak for Cleavage or Boobsy kind of girls(though we must admit that it’s pleasing in the eye yet we must not feel arousing bout those)

Keeping safe our privacy is the main reason why we play in crypto and this also very accessible but less the un that live gaming
This is depending on your availability,because if the casino is too far from home then less stress to play online but if the casino is near you why not enjoy the ambiance and free drinks they offer lol

It would be better if it is live casino since you can actually see the real reactions of the players faces. Some of them are too great to bluff their opponents and some are just meh. ;D Well, I think distracting the player is some kind of a strategy because it tells them that they are easily gets played and that will lead to a loses. ;)

What wife? you assume I married?
And you are not human if tits do not make you horny. You should not fight such tendencies. It is natural. I respect girls well enough. I know how to keep my dick in my pants and only use it when necessary.
Maybe you are the type that thinks of your mother and sister when you see titts. You need help if that is so..

that should be the one advantage of playing offline or in live casinos but think about the disadvantage  . you will need to travel from town if your living away from the city . the hassel of commuting and traffic is tiring  .

its also toxic when your inside the casino  and it can make you distracted sometimes  . many more disadvantages actually , so will you still risk that all just for a single benefit of seeing your oponent's  face ?

Exactly, both are good and it will depend on the gambler. Live casinos are over crowded, i recently go to Macau and see all the casinos with a lot of people I’m thinking how can they focus if the crowd is too noisy and the table are surrounded by many people so in this case, I will go for an online poker which is more convenient and easy to access. 

Playing online poker will give advantage to people because they don't have to visit the poker casino, especially if, in his country, gambling was prohibited. He can play poker games in his house, and he can stay in his room, and do anything he wants. But in the live poker game, the benefits will be he can see the opposite reaction if he is bluffing them with his card. He can meet many people who play poker game together, and he can learn how they played, etc.

Both online poker and live poker will have a different advantage, and that will depend on each player to choose. Perhaps, the feeling of playing poker games will be more excited in the live casino. We can have fun with other people while we can celebrate with them if we win. But that is only for people who lived in the country in which gambling is allowed.

live casinos are very much different, this is where you really feel the pressure, poker players are good in reading your reaction and faces so if you happen to face a good live poker player you are in trouble, compared to online live poker, you only need to concentrate on your games and you have no reaction to hide and watch but playing in live poker is more exciting.

Let's identify first the advantage of doing an Online poker compare to live casino poker;
Less fee and transportation cost if you just do online casino poker since you will just play at your home.
But the disadvantage is what the OP said, the face or emotion of your opponents, you can't feel or see, because I believe that is also important when you are playing poker, there are lot of way how to win in poker.
Overall, we can't sau which is the best because there are different reasons why some people much wanted to play online than live casino poker.

It seems to have more excitement in playing Online casino's, it will be more surprising cause we don't even know what will happen next and even your opponent's idea. And as I preferred also with an online casino as anytime we can relax when we feel bored or especially when we don't feel unlucky this day.

While live casinos can be different and a certain ambiance that could change our mind that we couldn't feel bored but, it possible that we could empty our pocket when we can't control our emotions.

There are a lot of bluffers in live poker that makes it more interesting to play it rather than playing against random people whom you don't see in real time. Also, there are tons more rules applicable to live poker than online ones that makes it even harder to cheat and harder to win. I happen to come across Macau sometime last year and watch some people smiling their menacingly even though his hand is not really that good, only to win the round because the other players are dumb enough to think that this particular guy got the good fill of the cards.

They are closely the same game Poker, but both of them had an advantage and disadvantage.
Online poker you will see a lot of hands per hour and also you can play multiple tables at once, just like 24 tables at once is a relatively common scenario. Online poker also gives you exact numbers about the pot size.

While on the other hand, Live Casino needs transportation costs wher you go there just play poker, but you can read your opponent's mind by their behavioral reactions, their mannerism, face, and hand movements to get clues on what card they hold. You can see that there is a satisfaction to see a successful bluff.

It depends on what you prefer surely those who have skills would choose the live casino poker,
Because they could use the poker face and read their opponents feelings or gesture,
And it is much easier to bluff on a live casino poker since you could see each other.
The only great thing about online poker is that you could do it anywhere play anywhere and anytime,
And this would be the best for those who doesn't want to be known as gambler or those who wants to keep it a secret.

I guess you you liked the physical casino because you were able to read your friend's mind through his facial expressions? What if your friend or opponent is very experienced in that sort of thing and able to fake his facial expressions to deceive and get you to play in certain ways? I believe experience gamblers do this to newbies or those that are less experienced than them.

I guess some online casinos allow live cams for players to read themselves. That would be a good alternative to physical presence

at least i know why your acting like that,because if you already had wife surely you will change the way you treat those TITS in front of you  ;D
lol its normal for human to amazed or love to see those Boobs,but to turn Horny everytime you see tits?thats not normal lol
its not natural if your a married person and loved your wife more than any girls
yeah right
yeah im proud of that ,if i can only put a shirt to every woman that shows half of their boobs i will definitely do such because im sure there are still plenty of gentlemen here who's not focusing in TITS while on the table to gamble ,and there's no need for anyone help because i can help myself.

edit:sorry for the off topic OP ,where just sharing opinions and some outviews while in gambling tables playing Poker lol

They had many differences, online poker of course a poker is a computer generated game where thousands of multi player scripts are generated and is not considered random. While in Live poker is a lot slower and you can't kill the time by attending to your other tables! If you're liable to get impatient, then live poker may not be for you. But both the same in play gaming it is based on skills game.

It depends on your preferences or where you seem to be comfortable and confident at. Online casino is more for convenience and to bring casino and gambling to you wherever you at. While live casino, is for experience I guess... As for me, I would go to live casino to add experiences and to feel what it feels playing in reality and not only virtually. But if you prefer convenience and easier, then online is better for you.

I am more comfortable and confident doing it online than in an actual casino. Well, one of the reasons is that people like you could accurately read my reactions and emotions, and probably could also create a corresponding assessment on my cards' strength. If I share the table with friends only, I don't mind playing with it. But if I share it with gamblers I do not know, and whose poker skills I could not simply estimate, I would be more conscious and defensive, which might result to some gestures they could easily interpret.

Yes. Exactly like the movies. Except its in your face. The first time I saw this my mind was blown..


That's the idea actually. Distract the players with tits so they lose in game. But I am solid as rock.


Agree 100%

These are the main differences between online and offline ones where there are pros and cons into each side.
When you do play poker on a casino physically you can really distinguished your opponents faces which can really be
used into your hand decision making which you cant possibly done on online but talking about basic principles on how to
play then they are all just the same.

Indeed, its a lot easier and less hassle. For that reason many people are much interested in online gambling than the conventional one because we are capable on satisfying ourselves without sweating, but these days its difficult to find a trusted poker site because of some scam sites. Despite of having fun during your leisure time without even leaving your home, you can also earn in online gambling but you have to remember that it is still speculative just like the usual casino.

As a gambler, i prefer online casino rather than live casino because in online casino you can play inside or outside your home, as long you have an internet connection and a computer for you to be able to play. While in live casino, you need to drive yourself to the casino for you to play which is hassle. But both of them will still give you a great gambling experience whenever you are playing in live casino or online casino.

Whether live or online, I still can't hide my emotions while playing poker. When you see your opponents face, they often gives hint or something about their cards especially if they are amateurs. I've watch people with incredible poker skills and it is vert different compare to online gambling. But I prefer online poker more because I value anonymity so I can enjoy the game more.

most of card games becomes more challenging in real casinos or even in other bet place than online.because in live playing you can feel the competition and the reactions of every players is indeed{but i knew some gamblers that experts in hiding their emotions so you cannot detect their next actions}yet its more entertaining when you have opponents surrounding you while in online is so boring}
if having enough time and for bonding with friends and family?i prefer Real casino
but for busy days when i missed betting then i go online things that happening now more often than Live playing
yups not just advantage but the ambiance itself,in live casino there are plenty of drinks for free lol ,and Beautiful people as well that dealing with you

Playing poker online or live poker isn't so easy because if you're on the poker table and facing real opponents then the pressure will belongs to you and do not forget that some of poker players have a habit bluffing with all in money or high bets so it will makes you under pressure for each rolls and to playing poker besides strategy and luck good mentally also required

Playig live poker lets you apply other factors when playing such as bluffing and intimidating your oppenent, unlike in online gambling where you can only intinidate by raising your bet. It is difficult to put a bluff or read if your enemy is bluffing in online gambling. I think real life poker is more exciting since you play personally with other players and I think it is more fun.

And this is where they do differ and some gamblers do really love to experience the thrill and on spot socialization with other poker players.You wont be an experienced one if you dont able to meet up these different person on the table.Ofcourse you will able to see those bluffs and all in action and as you experience this in the long run it will help you out as a better poker player where you do apply those into your own game style.Yes, it isnt really that easy but this is more enjoying and entertaining than with online ones.

But don’t also forget that the feeling is mutual if the opponent brings pressure to you it’s also your presence bring pressure to them so don’t bother about that point
Yeah bluffing is really normal in Poker or other card games but also you can bluff them as well.trust me those bluffer?are afraid when they are being bluffed and this is according to my experiences coz I must admit I am a bluffer also lol

There have been various reasons as to why gamblers do prefer both the online casino as well as a real time casino. If they were night gamblers many of them would prefer to stay in home and gamble with their money. This can be simply considered as a way of ordering goods from any online market like eBay or Amazon. Earlier we have been depending upon real time markets where we would be moving from the house and buying things. Similarly, majority of the gamblers have moved onto the online platform for playing casinos and gambling as such.

Though the real time live poker is fun to watch and play, I would personally prefer to play in an online poker. There are various advantages in playing in a online casino like Travelling expenses can be minimized a lot, we could have a range of online games and bonuses which can never be seen in a live casino. Similarly AFAIK, you can verify the bets and code for a blockchain based online casino which could bring out the faster gamplays etc. Some online casinos offer a lower house edge and at times you don't need to deal with a rude drunk opponent which is common at a live casino.  ::)

Let me give a pretty nice comparison between both of them. Have you ever played chess? If you haven't then let me explain while playing chess on board in front of real opponent you have to sit in front of him eye to eye facing each other like you are fighting. Now, this things is a great psychological factor in thinking. Most of the players get pressurized on certain important moments and make many wrong moves while some are good at reading body languages so become cautious if their opponent sees happy. So strategies do change with age & mentality of your opponent while in online chess it's more or less like to play against a computer all you can see is 64 squares and 32 pieces.

Virtual world has given us access to doing everything from distances right at the comfort of our homes. But one thing it can never match is the feel of the reality and aura which a person creates with his physical presence. Playing against Magnus Carlsen(No. 1 chess player) on computer you won't feel much. But playing in reality against him and you wouldn't be able to get your head on board. This is true for almost every sport.

If you started playing in a live casino you know the feel of the players and the atmosphere that accompanies each match, you feel the emotion but you know that you need to hide and so is the other person it's all about handling the pressures, you cannot find it in an online casino, you are playing as is, you will win because of luck and how you deal the card, but totally different when you are face to face with your opponent, so if you want excitement playing live can give you that.

In live casinos, you can see there face of course and take a hint of what sort of cards or power plays that will your opponent will use. In that case, you could think of the possible ways to defeat them or at least, minimize your losses. Card counting in live casinos is easier than playing online poker. Nevertheless, it will be all go down to the player's skill and not in the mode of the game.

If I do have funds to play in a live casino, I'd go with it rather than playing online. In addition to what you have said about advantages of playing live because you could see their faces, the chances of cheating is much lower than when you are going to play online. The another advantage of playing casino live is you could socialize and make friends, it is not healthy to stay in your room all day sitting playing poker online.

The disadvantage of playing casino live is that you'll be exposed and your relatives might see you and they will start to nag you for playing in the casino.

I can see it divided into several different groups of people and several different reasons for online vs. live and reasons for both.

For me online is a quick and cheap way to kill some time.
Even if I lived across the street from a casino that had live poker you are still looking a a time investment.
Go there, possibly wait for a table, cash out chips in the end (hopefully) leave go home.
This AM I played for ~30 minutes in the shorts and t-shirt I slept in while having my AM coffee while having the local news on in the background.


Online also tends to have MUCH lower limits.
Many online poker places I play start at 100 SAT ante some are even 10 or 1 so we are taking mostly under $0.25 a hand for the most part just to kill some time. Not a bad deal.

As with most gambling YMMV but for me although I do love playing in a live casino, there are advantages to online.

-Dave

Actually mostly gambler want to play live but unfortunately only few can afford on it wherein because of being so expensive.  and those who cant spend more preferred to gamble through online because there's no other choice.

  It's very amazing actually if you are able to play through live because it's seems very realistic than other online gambling just imagine it. .but you know not affordable for a simple gambler like us.lol

Most of the time that’s the reason but the truth is gambling in casino is not that expensive because you can choose small amount of bettings but ofcourse people don’t usually knew that as they are featuring casinos as place for rich people only,but for me the reason is the long time to waste since I have a busy days so I rather choose in house than in live
Yeah you can feel the ambiance and it’s pleasing when waiters offers you drinks and other kind of stuffs you can also feel being elegant while sitting on the table and even playing other cheap games like slot machines

Yes, you are right. We still have the trusted poker site on here, and when I searched on Google, we have many online pokers site, but yes, we need to be careful to play on that site. There is no guarantee that if the site has a trusted review cannot scam us because they can do whatever thing.

No matter what, games in gambling are speculative, and we cannot use it as a source of income. No matter if the gambling places is at online or offline, we need to remember that and don't use more money if you are not ready to lose.

You could actually play in a casino with a minimum capital, of course not in a high end casinos. Just some local casino around the corner near your city. We're not talking about a casino with a Las Vegas vibes here right?
Sometimes, I go and visit the casino near my office just to kill some time, play poker and if Im lucky I could multiply my money , with only $100 buy in.
Theres really a huge difference between playing online and live. One of the interesting thing about playing live is the constant communication with fellow gamblers to avoid yourself from being bored. Second is, the lively atmosphere, unlike playing online sitting in front of your computer with completely had a neutral emotions and reactions. Infact, there are still a lot of difference most specially if you have tried gambling from both online and live.

That’s why many of us stays at home or even in any place to play online as this is the cheapest and fastest place to gamble.and for gamblers it’s just the way they releases the eagerness to bet and it can be done easily thru mobile phones or iPads so that’s why many of us stays here than going to casinos

And besides why need to go to casino to play live when you can just go to local community that entertain gamblers to play with the in houses or some gambling places

Do you, as online poker player, have any way to check if one of your opponents is not a casino bot (or casino employee) who sees all opponents cards? "provably fair" system does not work here. I think that's the biggest advantage of offline casinos. You know who your opponent are.

For me is very easy and comfortable playing from home away from alcohol and smoke which is common in live casinos and it can disrupt your thinking.Although I don’t see my opponent faces when playing online I do a simple assessment test of how good my cards are and based on that I plan my move.For me is better online play.

You can actually tell the difference among the two if you do able to experience both of them.Yes, lively atmosphere is one of it and you wont really got bored when you are already on the table playing with other people.You can see their face reactions and emotions along the way when all are playing unlike if you do just stare up with your screen.
You can feel the essence of gambling when youve done it physically.

Sometimes im a little bit shy if you do have small capital on your hands when you do go into these kind of places.Lets accept that most people do play into these places are filthy rich ones.

Good question, as far as I can remember, there are several casinos who have been accused of colluding specially with their own bots. I can't recall which casino it is, but I'm sure there were allegations and accusations thrown before. So I guess this is really one disadvantage of playing online poker.

Live casino no doubt about that. It has this kind of unique charm that makes it more enjoyable to play. When you see your opponent whenever the situation or tense or when it's kind of the climax moment, It just has a different charm than when playing online. If you want to earn while enjoying the moment, I'd recommend a live casino no matter what. Besides, some gamblers gamble for the fun or for the thrill of it, and I'd recommend live casinos to those types of gamblers. But if you wholeheartedly just want to earn some quick buck, it'd be either of the two since it doesn't really make a difference.

^ Probably that's the reason we ask the gambling owner a provably fair system and how it works. I like to play poker in a room that has a P2P version and a live chat so that we know if that is a bot or not. I like to gamble in an online casino, it gives security and a secure place while playing poker and you feel shame the people behind you that sound like awkward stuff. Nevertheless, they had many differences but despite those I will still choosing online poker casinos.

If you are with online casinos, expect that most of them are using bots. This makes people mostly lose their bets more often than if we play in offline casinos as they are smarter than us. There is no provably fair policy as I could see in here.
Being a gambler, better to know whos your opponent and it is between you and your opponent's minds who've played the game. Though we've lost...at least we know whos better and we are actually playing with a person, not a machine/bots.

This is why we cant see lots of poker sites online due to this possible reason.People cant easily trust it up yet we wouldnt
know if they are truly provably fair or not.For people who do prefer online over offline just like above well its their own choice
since we do have our own choices and preference but when it comes to possible cheats then online do mostly had it but we cant
say that offline hasnt those issue too.They do still exist but on a very minimal possibilities.

I play it a little 10$ buy in tournament every week at a bar down the road. We all had this same discussion the other day. I was explaining how I can play in online tournaments and place in the money. But when I play there I always get beat. The tournament by my house is only around 10-18 people where I can play in an online tournament with 5 to 600 people  and usually place in the top 30. I believe people can read your poker face in person where as online you have no idea if you are playing a real person or bots. It also seems like people bluff alot more in online poker then in real life.

I prefer to just play online. My odds of winning are way better!

I prefer to play poker online than in a live casino, I am always afraid to see my opponent's faces and reactions when real poker casinos.
In online you can play even if you are in your house no one will care you how much will spend you in every odds. Instead of paying a fare when you go to the live casino just spend on it online and it is less costly and feel safe at home.

The advantages that I saw here is that you've been playing online casino, because it's more comfortable compared of going at live casinos. You're time is independent so you could choose any options, rather than being pressured by scheduled bets. You can do it even you're having busy times taking care of the house, and that's right being safe at home without taking so much time and being tempted to bet for more amount money is not likely to happen.

That to be in our comfort zone. People love doing this than of Live casinos because of the limited time especially when we have a day job and that is the only thing I saw its advantage. May our strategies are different in playing in Live casino as it will depend on our opponents but overall interaction is just similar.
In gambling, it is important to know where we feel good cause it actually affect the results of our play.

But why there's fear when you face your opponent? we mostly see it as an opportunity instead of thinking that it's scary to face them. I think you're too nervous if you'll base your move on their face which is going to be unhealthy for you. Anyway, that's you.

One advantage of playing online is that, comfort.

But you can use that faces to be an advantage mate,and why not afraid?they won’t eat you alive lol,upon reading replies here they believe that seeing your opponent faces can bring them winnings
You have said that you can spend much and no one care so how come that it’s lessen?does it sounds contradicting because you also mentioned that in live casino there’s a fare paying?

Yes that is the different between playing live poker in casino and online poker, you can read your face opponent, his act and many else. In online poker you can't do that.

For me, i would choose gamble poker in live casino, the thing is my country banned all gambling activities. That's why i pick online poker, for now because i never feel the experience of live poker in casino.

Yes, that will be a good option for people who live in the country in which gambling is banned. They can use an internet connection to visit on the gambling site and play any gambling games. But I think they need to use VPN to cover their real IP from the ISP provider, so they don't know if we are playing gambling. But I guess the ISP will not check on their customers, and they will not say anything to them.

Online poker and live casino poker have their own fans, and they still playing gambling on their favorite casino. I prefer to playing gambling on the internet than in the live casino because here, the gambling place is in a hidden place, so it's difficult to find where the place is.

There is no chances for me to play live casino poker because gambling is something illegal in my country so there is no land based poker casino where I can play live poker. Online poker site is the only way for most people in my country to play poker game. If I have a chance to play live poker game then I'd be very happy to do it. The main problem on online poker site (usually local fiat poker sites) is that the possibility of playing against the site's internal bot that can know all the cards. Indeed it is hard to prove but there are many people thinks the same with me because some strange experiences while playing on online poker sites. 

I don't quite understand your country. Gambling is illegal in your country that is why live casinos are not allowed, right? But why the existing "local fiat poker sites"? Or are there specific stipulations in your gambling laws that say online gambling is allowed while live casinos are not? Either way, it is kind of weird and inconsistent.

Stay away from online casinos that are shady. If I were you, I'd buy a poker set and play with it among your friends in your house or at your friend's place. I am telling you, it is as fun. I suppose that is not illegal.

Look what article I've found about comparison of Online  poker and Live Casino poker.

You think the quoted sentence has point right?
For example in live casino, the casino owner needs a lot of table to cater their gamblers, so what if the tables are full always? How gamblers will able to play?

Then if you can do it in online casino, the only problem here are the PLAYERS since for sure it's easy to create an virtual table (programmable) and the casino owner will only provide the dealer also which is much better than providing physical table in live casino.

Most in other countries that prohibit gambling indeed there is no direct casino, it will definitely be banned. Only local gambling is available. One way to play gambling is through online gambling. No need to be afraid anymore now, there are so many online gambling sites that you can find. Choose what you think online gambling is good and has a lot of games.

if you country has ban gambling , that will be all kinds ( offline and online )  . its still not possible for you to play gambling but im not sure if using proxies to bypass site restriction if allowed on a gambling site . make sure you need to check thier rules before you start depositing because if its illegal then your money will only be compromised  . there are also online gambling sites that are restricted by some countries online , in which case you can play rather locally  .

It is still possible, there is always a way to play gambling on online casinos. Not all online casinos are blocked, even if all casinos are blocked by ISP then there is always VPN. I live in a country where gambling is strictly prohibited but in fact the number of online gamblers here is still huge enough. I can say it is huge because there are still many local online casinos with many active players. I have never heard any issues related to compromised money just because gambling is illegal. As long as the casinos accept players from my country then it wont be a problem.
Most local online casinos are blocked by some ISPs only but there are still some ISP that does not block those gambling related site including bitcoin gambling sites.

That's true but if you are not good in concealing your feeling, playing online is your best option, but there there is fullfilment in playing live casinos, it is a strategy of who can hide your feeling and how to read your opponents face, and if you are playing just for fun, then playing live is very exciting and definitely worth trying, I have tried it once and lost my opponent is good in checking my feeling.

I browsed the comments and I can tell that almost all of you (all even) have never played any serious amount of poker, online or live.

Anyway with the state of online poker as it is now, if you want to win some monies, play live.  It's def softer.  The Moneymaker days are loong gone.

Lol, your opponents maybe deliberately showing the facial expressions. I guess that is what poker players call "bluffing". It is probably better to ignore your opponents faces if you're a good poker player. The expressions are usually lies. A skillful opponent who finds a vulnerability in your game will likely act weak/defeated or behave like he found nothing.

Are you trying to make fun of yourself by saying that it is very easy to identify opponents faces and defeat them? Why not try it and come back here. You can win big money on live casinos as there are very big bet tables and tournaments. Let us see if you were right on your statement or you're just making fun out of your words.

Live casino is better for me though I played more online in the past as it is more accessible.

In online casinos there are big probabilities that you are playing with a group of people that are sharing their card information. But that doesn't mean that it is very easy to beat players on live casinos. Live casinos are more serious and bigger money at stake. While you can just play casually on online casinos with minimum bets.   

 

Yes that's the advantages and disadvantages of playing real or online where if playing in a real casino other players can outwit their expressions or styles
There is also a moral burden when you win will feel embarrassed if you want to leave the game.
also if playing online suspicious feelings when the machine cheats us lol

At the highest level of poker, players don't rely on overt, obvious facial expressions, but extremely subtle clues that indicate the position of the player... These are much harder to fake.

The truth is, most expert level players will rely on pure statistics + incorporate tells and reads from known players, in addition to researching their playing style and bluff rate. Some players are known to make ridiculous bluffs, e.g. Dwan, while others are known to keep it straight most of the time.

Yes that's why i only play poker at online poker on some online gambling site. The government here is only banning real life gambling activities, so there is no casino in my country. People still can gambling online here. There is one big online poker site here with more than 10k players online and i play there.

The "local fiat poker sites" are probably illegal. I think his/her country isn't aware of them or the authorities just ignored them for reasons best known to them. I guess it's more like how exchanges are banned in some countries then the countries business people start operating illegal exchanges within their countries or operate from other countries where they are legal

good for you guys that you still find a way to continue your hobby while other people that i know have stop permanently once the gambling on thier place have been closed  . anyway may i know what is the name of that casino  ?  10k players online ? holy cow , thats pretty huge numbers . i know alot of poker sites and most of them are kinda big but the problem is the  online players are kinda bit little, so i find hard to play on them    . still playing online is better than playing locally in my opinion

if you are a true gambler, of course, it is more felt if you are directly at the table and see the face of the enemy, we can guess whether he is in a good card or not and feel a satisfied atmosphere.

In online casino it is like playing in Facebook apps that you don’t feel the atmosphere of true gambling ,I had been in many live casino from small branches to Hotels but it’s really unexplainable the feeling while you are interacting with real sets of person than in computer operated/ programmed opponents

The feeling that you are tense whenever you hold lower cards but after a while momentum goes to you as if you nearly to win?thats overjoyed

But as what many say,the online casino is for those people that limiting their money to play and those who has no enough Tim to go live so they are contented playing  thru mobile or Lappy
But only if you are capable of going live,things that we must all accept that only limited people here who can afford to play everytime in live casino because it’s too expensive and very tempting 

Of course it is still better to play at live since you can feel the presence of your opponents rather than facing to your opponent in a monitor. Actually, it depends on the player, if player prefert to play without getting out in his room or comfort place then online casino will be best choice for him. The advantages of online casino is that it is not limited for the users, I mean there are some country prohibits this kind of activity hence online could be better to keep away from being traced.

If we want to have a good play in poker, you'll probably right. Not just only to see the real face of our enemy but to see also how'd they feel when he loses or how'd they actually play. This is to think that bots are smarter than us and as we engage more into actual games, we might consider this as a great training ground before we will go into online poker games.

The actual game facing your opponents ads a lot of skills knowing that the facial expressions have connections with each types of strategy that your opponents are using against you. if you already master this kind of strategy you have advantages but it is not the case when you play online there's
bot which don't have any emotions you need to figure out how to beat them and have some good chances to win.

many people are satisfied with the existence of online poker gambling, because certain countries prohibit gambling activities so people who like poker gambling find it difficult with the rules imposed by the relevant government. that's where I prefer online poker gambling because it can be visited freely at any time without having to go directly to the gambling place itself

Online live betting casino is a comfortable way of enjoying the game without any fear of being traced by prohibition, implemented by law. Since the number of players had a limitation, then winning over is potentially having lucky profit as well. Definitely most certain cases sometimes losing was just a normal part of the system of gambling.

Not only on being traced or prohibition but also there were people who don't like for others to see that they are playing gambling publicly because we know that there are places

in this world that do really criticize out gambling activity.The only thing I do like on online is the accessibility and anonymity but in terms of gambling ambiance then live casino are the best but due to lack of casinos on here then I don't able to play nor experience it.

True playing poker live is more fun because you can talk to your co player. And much more fun than online poker. But now i saw in my facebook theres a lot of player that play on online. Some of my friends are they are getting more addicted on playing poker online than to playing in live.

What I have experienced playing poker directly is actually more fun and tense, because we can see the facial expressions of the players that are difficult to guess and they can manipulate their faces when receiving good or bad cards.
The situation and conditions are very different from online poker which is too self-focused without seeing the actual face of the player, so I think playing poker directly is more fun and exciting despite being tense.

Playing online poker game will be a solution for people who wants to feel the game. They don't have to afraid of banning from the government. Besides that, they can activate VPN to hide their real IP from the ISP so they can play online poker with comfortable. But I don't know much about the poker game, and I only watch how they played. I feel the poker game is too difficult to learn for me, so I don't learn too deep and I think learning poker will need more time to understand the game.

^ That is the good advantage of playing poker online if once gambling in your place was strictly prohibited. You can bypass the authorities' jurisdiction and the law of the government as well. You are always secure because you are at home not just like in a real casino it's too crowded and you don't know who's watching behind you. There are too many videos tutorial in a poker game, I remember before when I practicing my self-playing poker I installed app poker offline in my mobile phone and keep practice and techniques.

I don't like playing Live casino poker because it disturbs privacy. Even though we play with people in several countries and don't know us, I still feel awkward showing my face when playing. I prefer to play online poker because IMO playing anonymously is better.

Yup...  The 'tell' is almost some sort of myth.  The 'tell' is mostly based on history, bet sizing and how the opponents play their ranges in certain situations.

That is the difference between playing gambling directly and online. Playing gambling directly has its own value because you can know the situation of every thing that happens there, for example, such as knowing the look on the face of someone with a good card. Things like that are in direct gambling. If you play online for privacy reasons, it might not hurt too. I personally love playing online gambling too.

We are indifferent appreciations towards gambling, and not all of us are prepared to play online games. As a gambler, we need to engage also in online gambling, this is also a way to learn and gain ideas base of what we've experienced.

Personally, with the hectic time I have, I preferred to be in online gambling as I don't have enough time to visit the casino. 

It highly depends on where a gambler is most comfortable playing. Not just comfort actually, it also includes where one gets the most fun. I have to admit that sometimes gambling online is boring. You are all alone and there may be no one to talk to and laugh or smile with when you've made a successful all-in bluff for example.

But it all depends on the preference of the player. Although in terms of poker learning, it is best to gain it through a face-to-face poker game. Before I played an actual poker game, I have not seen my hand shake when placing the chips while calling or raising. In my first poker game with friends, I was surprised it did. 

I think online casino has advantage over live casino because you can play multi tables at the same time. I know few people who are earning extra bucks this way.
Watching someones opponents is one thing, try to play against people and you will see that it is not that easy to know when someone is bluffing.

What you mean is the situation in the whole area?or in the table where you seats in?or maybe it’s better to say is the ambiance?
If you have the ability to read mind depend on their reactions and facial expressions,then that’s the advantage of playing live casinos because if you don’t then there is no sense why need to go places when you can just hold your mobile or laptop and starts betting online
Accessible and the comfort is what we like in online,no hassle and can do whenever and whatever we do.and can enjoy even before sleeping in bed

You are right since people do have different preference on things that are involved on.If they do find playing online is more fun than on playing on physical casinos

then its their choices but mostly people do love to play on physical yet you can able to feel the essence of true gambling when you are in front of other players which you would
able to face to face while you do play.You can see live reactions and emotions which you cant really able to experience when you do play online.

Some people don't like to play in the crowd so he prefers online casinos so there are also those who like to play while joking or reading the opponent's expressions so he chooses physical casino. there is nothing wrong with either of these methods, it all depends on comfort.

I wouldn’t agree with you in this regard my friend because I think that face expression only help you to judge about the scenario which is going on and if there is some new trick invented which helps you to tell about the strategy that is circling in your opponent’s mind, I don’t know a trick like that and I think people like me would also agree with me that  expressions are only used to judge scenarios.

I got it now between two of them and I saw those replies on this thread usually prefer an online poker casino. And yes, it has more advantages in online poker over in live casinos. I think in online poker you can play it well with a peaceful mind not like in a crowded place like live casino which you hear shouting or buffing from other opponents.

Well, in online gambling dod not feel the essence of true gambling? Kinda right.

There can be lot and lots of shouting and sounds, but everyone gets comfortable as they're completely focused on making an earning out of the bet. People prefer who have used to play face to face will always prefer live casinos than online poker where it has got almost everything similar.
Yes, the real gambling can't be experienced. Also one can easily overcome loss in that atmosphere compared to the loss that happen through the online poker. Because when we stay alone we always think of recovering back or think bad of losing which is not good.
