Title: COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World
Post by: Shimmiry on March 08, 2020, 02:51:50 AM
We all know that there is a virus outbreak named COVID-19 and it's spreading quickly throughout the entire globe. Though preventive and and can be somehow cured and be reduced by healing the specific symptoms one-by-one (based on Is there a cure for the new coronavirus? (https://www.livescience.com/can-coronavirus-be-cured.html) by Stephanie Pappas), there are still numerous cases in which would affect soon every single person on the planet.

Currently, there are 106,195 confirmed cases in which 42,405 cases that are active and almost 3,600 confirmed deaths around the world. COVID-19 can be passed in a lot of different ways, more likely to be through physical contact. And it is obvious that most gambling (especially physical casinos) were bombarded with strangers that aren't that assured if do have the disease or not, and has a high chance where many physical contact occurs (like passing of bank notes and bets).

Recently, there was an article titled South Korea burns, quarantines bank notes as Covid-19 rages (https://www.nst.com.my/world/world/2020/03/572340/south-korea-burns-quarantines-bank-notes-covid-19-rages) in which its states that one of South Korea's preventive measures is they've seen that, it is a risk and a huge possible that bank notes can carry the virus and with the papers being passed through the economy is also an implicit transmitting of the virus.

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

This is true. With the uncertainty surrounding our environment, if you are a gambler, you will prefer to play online rather than risk yourself from the virus. This is the advantage of online gambling sites. No physical interaction with the players.

And with this epidemic, macau casinos were losing millions of dollars everyday when they shut down last month.

https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-02-10/macao-casinos-shutdown

Though they are re-opening, I don't think many gamblers will go to the casino because the risk of getting infected is still high. The cure is not yet in full blast though there are already promising vaccines being developed.

This situation will add from the long list of advantages of playing online.

At the very least, those patrons of closed casinos might get curious and try gambling online. However, online gambling does not automatically mean crypto gambling, so the current situation does not necessarily mean an increase in cryptocurrency gambling community. It might, though. Also, it is different gambling online and gambling in physical casinos. Those who have been physical casino gamblers for a long time might not really find it interesting gambling in front of the screen. Finally, many casinos are tourism-based. Macau, for example, is offering grand gambling experience to visitors. Failing to get into these casinos might not really bring them online instead. Many of them are there for the unique experience.

But then not everyone are interested with playing and gambling online especially those who are already addicted onto playing in physical casino environment. There are still gamblers whom had found online gambling a hoax. Also, with huge money comes with a huge risk and online gambling requires big deposits as well depending upon the budget of a gambler, AND most gambling sites and even exchanger platforms do have transaction fees that varies depending the amount of what to be transacted (which most have found annoying).

And it is somehow ironic that they fear being infected never fear losing their bets instead. LOL. But then the idea is simple, why not be the gamblers take a stand to somehow help the world and keep it from the spreading virus right? Like in Singapore where the residents themselves are disciplined enough as they clean everything around them with only initiative. Right?

From my personal experience from gambling on land-based casinos, I have noticed a lot of Chinese people gambling. This was way before Covid-19 was a thing and I do think they are serving the majority of gamblers here in my country. When this outbreak has started, maybe they have become wary of the possible things that could happen like contracting the virus unexpectedly because there are a lot of people there. This event may have a benefit for the online cryptocurrency casinos because they can continue their gambling online, which would not let them be exposed to other people, don't you think so too?

So there are two considerations, either Land-based Casinos lose their customers and online casinos gain them or vice-versa.

So, I guess this the time that online gambling will be patronized by a lot of gamblers more than it was before.
Yes, It's true the corona virus has affected a lot of businesses and livelihood, and the only safe place to protect yourself from being infected by the virus is to stay home and always disinfect whenever you go outside.

Even the sports industry has been affected by the continued rise of corona virus cases. The NBA have just announced that there might be some cases where the games are played without the attendance of fans and media inside the gym.
Therefore, we now realized further more how essential the internet invention was.

Though regular casino gamblers might not get comfortable how the online casino handles their customers and their house edge, but these gamblers can't do nothing when they are itching to play.

The offline business has a big impact from the Covid-19 because we see in China, people choose to stay at their home to prevent the virus. And perhaps, that is affecting too to the offline gambling places which people are trying to avoiding direct contact with the other. But I guess that is not impacted by online gambling because while people stay at their home, they could still playing gambling. But I don't think that people will think about playing gambling since in their city, the virus still already exist. They need to think about survive their lives first, and they will make sure that they will be still healthy, and I am sure that they will try to prevent the virus.

Perhaps, it is a good time for addicted people to stop their addicting to gambling, and start to think about their lives to survive. But we don't know what is happening in the other country because the situations will not be the same.

I think it's only for gambling that comes in direct contact with others so the impact will be infected by Covid-19 but if gambling online I think it's okay and won't affect gamblers all over the world except China. They will not think of playing gambling at this time they will only think of a way to hold their nose because Covid-19 continues to expand and become more violent so that they are extra secure enough not to think about anything.

But for some parts of the world there are still those who gamble in direct contact because it is not too severe in Covid-19 so they will be free to play in a safe friend from Covid-19.

You're absolutely right and if gamblers are wise enough they should have used the opportunity to move over into online gambling. Some gamblers still prefer the traditional way of gambling where they'll interact with their opponent but is that worth risking your health to the point you might likely die of the virus? I guess not.

This virus isn't only opening gamblers eyes to the opportunity online casinos offer but also the importance/benefies of cryptocurrency. The use of fiat note are getting banned because of the physical contact needed to successfully transact with them but with cryptocurrency, you don't need a physical contact and as we all know it's more cheaper, faster and coinvinent to use.

Of course this outbreak will surely affect the land-base casino especially that the virus is still there and can be transmitted easily without being notice. Most of the people wants to avoid this virus if possible and if there will be cases that occurred in any of the gambling area then the players will likely to avoid playing there.

And for the area that were not affected by this virus, they can still operate normally but for those people who likely to play safe then they will surely transfer to online gambling if land-base gambling is already dangerous.

This is for sure that the places which are under red alert for COVID-19, the public gathering places should be avoided and gambling casino is one of them. You will not go to the casino if you fear that there is a chance of corovona virus outbreak. People will prefer online gambling but i do not think it will increase the community for cryptocurrency because those who are playing at physical casino  already know and play online gambling, so there is nothing new for them.

I'm pretty sure anyone who has tried gambling (irl) would have also tried out online gambling at some point. This may temporarily increase traffic, but I doubt those physical casinos would just agree and let their customers leave. The management of a physical casino is quite costly as well, so them losing traffic could affect their business quite heavily.

Additionally, they can choose not to opt for gambling using cryptocurrency, and instead, just use virtual currency of their fiats through banks or whatnot. Still, it's not like people could just stay cooped up inside their houses, whether they be gamblers or not so unless physical casinos closed its doors, some traffic would still come in, one way or another.

@crwth I have traveled to Macau before the hub of chinese casinos and whichever day I went it was crowded only, but when this virus started to spread people stopped visiting these casinos, however there’s no evidence to prove whether those people shifted to online casinos.

Also it’s pertinent to note that most of these people who visit land based casinos are tourists and they have already started visiting the casinos and now are required to wear mask as a safety precaution, further it’s also a good time for online casinos to market themselves as a casino where people can play without getting infected.

That is why global economy will take dive as business are struggling to operate in countries that are highly affected by this dreadful virus. China's economy will take a big hit this year.

Online casinos will operate as usual, I do not think there will be a big impact to their business.

The reason why  Macau casinos are losing huge amount of money this year. Though they said that they re-opened, but I don't think players have the serenity to go to these casinos. Maybe, this situation will push others to opt for online gambling and discover crypto online gambling sites along the way.

Casinos have always found a way to survive no matter how good or bad the conditions around them were which is why I don't think this will dent their business in a big way.

For example, you can always play online if you are worried about traveling outside which is one way to stay safe and not be worried about these viruses. COVID-19 is definitely not the worst virus out there which is why I strongly believe that gamblers won't be affected in a big way.

Indeed COVID-19 has affected not only the gambling industry but those industries with lots of people are being forced to make some adjustments to their works. the worst part of the effect of COVID-19 is some industries in the affected area are forced to closed their companies, including Casinos and many more events are being cancelled and only God knows when will they resume their services again.

If you look at the stats you will notice that most of the deaths are elderly people, aged 80+. That age group is not present in casinos that much anyways.
All money generating industries will suffer, including traditional gambling. I have been keeping myself informed about what is happening in Italy for example. They are considering closing everything that involving grouping people close together. Schools, cinemas, theaters, shopping malls, bet shops...
A big group will continue to gamble online or find unlicensed gambling solutions.

By the way, the physical casinos and other crowded places like that could also provide enough hand sanitizer and other hygiene stuff close to those machines for people to use.,

It depends on the country's precaution measurements with the virus. Business can be affected with this virus especially the countries with higher number of cases. But deciding to go to a physical casino depends on us. If you want to keep yourself safe, governments are already reminding everyone to avoid going places with too much crowd.

It's not only gambling businesses that are affected by this, i think almost every business is affected.  It does not also mean that all business will stop because of the threat of the virus but digital transactions can really be the alternative with this.  Online payments and transactions will help them. But the question is, will you still want to gamble when your country is in the situation like China, Korea, and Japan?

Who knows it could be higher as well since there's still not enough people tested in certain countries. And with the increasing numbers of people getting infected others will be more discouraged because of it.

They could take days off or maybe months if they prefer since a lot of physical casinos are most likely established.

It will be having an impact where physical casinos are permitted, such as Macau and Monaco. But here in India, gambling is prohibited and most of us resort to online casinos that are based in foreign nations. And here at least, COVID 19 is likely to have a negative impact. The ongoing economic slow down can have a negative impact on the revenues of online casinos as well.

I think the only effect of COVID-19 is that a lot of gambling casino would close for a long period of time due to virus spreading prevention, but i think it is the right thing to do just to prevent everyone from having a virus. And there are also pther ways fro gamblers to entertain themselves pr to gamble by just playing in a online casino.

Only casinos would be affected by it and rest online gambling would continue the way it is being happening . Many tourists places where casinos are attractions would have a major effect as tourism now will fall as people will avoid vacations and local people may also be skeptical as people from different nations could be found in casinos and risk increases if you get in contact of such people .  For next couple go months it will be a hard time for casinos owners .

Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling..

It depends on the overall status of the virus in a certain country. Obviously, for those countries wherein the situation is "under control", the usual environment will still be the same or let's say the gambling activity on physical casinos will just decrease by only low percentage.

And besides, in most of the cases, these physical casinos are not accessible easily to anyone. With or without this global issue of the virus, people can't just enter if they wish. And for big casinos that concerned about the virus, surely there will be strict implementation of anyone who will enter like implemented on other establishments as well.

...somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.[/b]

Online gambling doesn't mean it's all about crypto.

Some physical casinos do have an online gambling site partner and affiliates or even they haven't, I see these gamblers who regularly play on physical casinos will shift instead into fiat-based online gambling.

Here in our country, there is no announcement of stopping operation, maybe because it is not yet prevalent or they are taking strick precautionary measure, our country is now on high alert level, so I am encouraging my friends who frequent casino gambling to try online gambling.
Online stuff are more secure nowadays than cash thanks to Corona Virus!
We should not let this thing affect our life like this for real. People are afraid from everything: cash, goods or anything sent in mailbox (especially from China), vegetables in the market, read about women fighting for toilet paper (seriously!). Hysteria...
Some general measures could be understood like avoiding crowds, cancelling concert, playing football games without spectators...
Now if we go back to the topic, cancelling sportive events for example could affect directly and seriously many gambling platforms! Maybe people can bet in games played by the coaches in FIFA 2020  :P

I think that will not stop people from going in casinos especially those rich gamblers. Didn't you know that in some casinos, there are rich gamblers that hired a representative to play for them?

The only thing that can stop them completely is if the casinos themselves will shut down their operations or the area are now in the critical level of the virus outbreak.

About online gambling, I doubt they will think of using crypto just because of the virus as an alternative since they can go to the physical casinos. Since they used to play in casinos, they are transacting with their bank accounts. In online casinos with a fiat payment method, it's just a one-click to deposit money from a bank account to an online casino. The convenience is still there even with the virus outbreak so nothing will change.

This is the kind of scenario that online gambling will benefit, the authorities advised people to lessen their contacts with people and just stay at home, so if a gambler wants to play and he is itching to gamble, his only option is to play online and this will help online gambling to make more profit and new gambling site to get more gambler to play in their platform.

I would definitely stay at home to gamble, it's safe from this virus and at the same time we can save a lot of time.
Their business will surely be affected, that's the economic effect of this disease that the government should address immediately, and although there are only few infected in my country but I would not rely too much on that information as they could be hiding something so it will not affect the business.

its better to be safe than sorry, gamble and home, that's the right thing to do now.

I think the operation is possible be affected because player are also want to be safe, so surely they don't go any gambling place. So I think it's better to gamble online until the virus gone, because it's better to be safe than being infected in virus. COVID-19 is a serious case that need to be immediately separate those infected to non-infected to lessen the infected person because if that happen many business or operation will also be affected to it not only in gambling.

Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.


Physical gambling activities will decline and people will now divert with virtual casino gaming, because it's safe and free from possible physical contact they might acquire. This is a very serious concerns that triggers fear, but with online gambling platform I think it wouldn't deprive someone who still want to play gambling despite of the ongoing transmittable disease.

at first thought i thought it gonna be affect the overall gambling industry but upon opening this thread i see that your only  referring to offline casinos  , i forgot that fact actually and right now im still thankful that covid-19 does have some positive impact on the crypto or  on the online comunities because it makes people more involved online but i still worry on the businesses offline   .

 i feel selfish if mainly online will get benefit the most   . that is why i still hope that the cure will get stronger and will be distributed worldwide for free  so that the epedimic will stop .

Not only in physical casinos, but mostly it was spreading in public places where many people are staying like supermarkets, etc. And yeah this affected some areas of field like gambling. Good thing there is already visual games, online gambling sites and casinos for us not to acquire COVID-19 and to atleast stay at home playing  It is always best to consider our safety first. Preventing public places, proper hygeine will be a great help not to acquire the virus.

It could possibly induce more players in terms of gambling digitally, but I can say, even without the corona virus, the volume of players in online gambling is already huge, that is because of their personal reasons and sentiments, anonymity and satisfaction upon winning despite of not playing and touching tangible casino gaming equipment.

COVID-19 is quite a big issue as of today and I think its main impact could have an effect to cryptocurrency holistically, and not directly to the gambling industry.

I was working in Venapi which is a trc based wallet and a Dapp browser. Due to corona virus, as the developer is from China, they had stopped running the service and as a result, I had lost my job as community manager. The app will also be closed soon because they can't manage it anymore. As a Dapp browser, this was a big loss I think and the reason is COVID19.

@crwth I have traveled to Macau before the hub of chinese casinos and whichever day I went it was crowded only, but when this virus started to spread people stopped visiting these casinos, however there’s no evidence to prove whether those people shifted to online casinos.
I have no idea if there could be a way to have evident data with regards to the aspect of people changing in the way of gambling. I must say that "If I were an addict in gambling, I would continue gambling in another way." Maybe a survey could probably analyze the amount of change in that aspect, though.

Also it’s pertinent to note that most of these people who visit land based casinos are tourists and they have already started visiting the casinos and now are required to wear mask as a safety precaution, further it’s also a good time for online casinos to market themselves as a casino where people can play without getting infected.
Generally speaking, having a mask would not protect you from the virus. It's the hygiene that could make a difference towards protecting yourself with that. I think it's time for online marketers to market online casinos.

I think when there's gambling addiction, they will find a way to feed their temptation.

People will not stop from gambling just because of the COVID-19, and this actually a great for the online gambling sites as people would choose online this time and maybe crypto gambling.  With the fear that they'll be infected, there's no way they will go in a crowded places, and even me, I would stay away for now.

You are right. We have online gambling sites which can make people keep playing gambling. They can play gambling at their home if they are afraid to go to some gambling places. I think that many gambling sites will close their place because of that virus because people prefer to stay at their home without going anywhere. They need to protect themselves from the virus by staying at their home and reducing their activity.

Still, we couldn't skip the fact that even there's a virtual world on gambling there are still people that will go on the physical places where they have to go and work for and that's the gamble of them. Even if we can play online there's a possibility that it may be offline as well if employees will not go on to their corresponding offices. It will be good if there's really a gambling platform where employees work remotely at all.

They won't be going to work if people will stop going to the casino, they will possibly close business for awhile while the disease is still not contained well.

Even if we can play online there's a possibility that it may be offline as well if employees will not go on to their corresponding offices. It will be good if there's really a gambling platform where employees work remotely at all.
Employees at least know that they are safe compared to people going them meeting random people, so it's still good for them if they have an online site since they can certainly take precautions to prevent from getting infected of such disease.

Nice input but you cant tell that people would totally consider out crypto yet online casinos with fiat do still exist already for a long time.How you wouldnt count that one?

COVID doesnt only affect gambling industry but all sorts that do connect out fiat bank notes yet this is my first knowing about that it can possibly transmitted through money.

All transactions that do connects out will be mainly affected and hopefully this epidemic would be over and just waiting up for the vaccinne.

I've seen in the Star Casino Gold Coast and Brisbane the occasional dealers wearing paper surgical face-masks.  Not everyone is wearing, just the occasional person, so I'm guessing the individual employee is taking precautions on their own as opposed to the employer asking everyone to wear them.

The first time I saw them I was a little surprised as I would have thought Casinos wouldn't want *anyone* wearing face-masks for security reasons.

Look at this news :  China is sterilizing cash in an attempt to stop the coronavirus spreading (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/17/coronavirus-china-disinfects-cash-in-a-bid-to-stop-virus-spreading.html)

There's a fear already and this would soon result to online money being use for transaction, it's safer that way and hopefully that could affect the improvement of crypto market as eventually these people would also choose to gamble online.

This is a good step because i read that some people who are already contacted the virus are the reason why the virus spread like wildfire and this was the reason why the Chinese government implemented the law to stop the spreading of the virus. In the meantime, the whole situations will make gamblers use online casino and crypto currency more than before.

Security reasons must have become a secondary concern now that the presence of COVID-19 could be just around any corner or right in the person in front of you. Wearing face masks may not be required from everyone in casinos but I think they need to start observing healthy precautions, especially in tourism casinos where the majority of the clients are coming from everywhere in the world. The risk is too high for these casino workers. Prevention is always better than cure.

Casino players here in my place are not prohibited nor required to wear face masks but the standard protocol has always been observed at the entrance; everyone will have to remove their face masks, caps, shades, and whatever headwear they're wearing for identification and recording purposes.

That's is a good control and they need to strictly implement that as if one player carrying the disease can enter the place, it could easily infected the others, of course if they are gambling, it's very uncomfortable wearing a face mask, I wouldn't do that if I am constantly going into casinos.

Casinos just like other place where many different people are gathered are a big risk to get infected just like is the stadium,cinema or theater.Europe will suffer a heavy recession if things go like they are going.

The one who invented this virus are really successful in causing an economic trouble globally. It has now being one of the biggest threat of mankind, I was thinking that China will be able to contained it but I was wrong, the disease just keep spreading in different countries and it's really bad for countries where heath safety is not good or not on standard, for now, we need to be careful, not going to public places would really help, so if you are a gambler and loves to go in a physical casino, we should lay low for now.

We all know that there is a virus outbreak named COVID-19 and it's spreading quickly throughout the entire globe. Though preventive and and can be somehow cured and be reduced by healing the specific symptoms one-by-one (based on Is there a cure for the new coronavirus? (https://www.livescience.com/can-coronavirus-be-cured.html) by Stephanie Pappas), there are still numerous cases in which would affect soon every single person on the planet.
So you're saying that every single person in the world will be affected with this virus?? How sure you are that all of the 7 Billion+ people will be affected? COVID-19 can be a pandemic in the future base on how fast it is spreading right now but to affect every person is a bit exaggerating for me. The largest pandemic happened in the whole world is the infamous "Black Death" which affected only 75-200 MILLION people.

can be passed in a lot of different ways, more likely to be through physical contact. And it is obvious that most gambling (especially physical casinos) were bombarded with strangers that aren't that assured if do have the disease or not, and has a high chance where many physical contact occurs (like passing of bank notes and bets).
The main way the virus is being transmitted to other people is thru droplets. Passing of bank notes and other things that came from the host person can be a transmitter of virus. In offline gambling (casinos), a single person who has a COVID-19 can spread the virus throughout the whole place and can affect many people.


But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
With what is happening right now, the revenue of the casino's can go down drastically because gamblers will not go to a casino and risk their life there especially if their country already has cases of the said virus but on the other side online gambling sites can increase their revenue too because gamblers who can't control themselves will just try to gamble online. It can increase the community yes if they choose to gamble using crypto. There are some sites who are accepting fiat currencies too :).

I do not know the process in other countries but in most establishments here in my particular city, not just in casinos but also in schools, malls, and so on, anything worn in the head or in the face such as face masks will have to be removed as soon as you enter, but when you are already inside you are free to use them. Those are not prohibited, after all. You just have to remove them in the entrance so that the security personnel and perhaps the CCTV as well could have a clear view of your face. That is basically a security protocol. When you are already in the Holdem table or just wandering around jumping from one game to another, you are completely free to wear all kinds of masks and shades and caps.

Well yea, no one is safe, but I doubt physical casinos not being safe is an overstatement. As far as I know, they should've already performed meticulous security regarding the entry of certain players that may display certain symptoms of the virus, and there's also the notion of them making sure that every item in their possession is completely disinfected and safe from anything that could potentially let users get the virus.

Still, those physical casinos would probably see a drop in customer entries, especially with most people avoiding going outside if they can. Probably a choice to avoid spending more money in case of being hospitalized.

Well, as far as I've read, banknotes are not the cause of the virus spread. No need to single it out. When someone infected coughs or sneezes on anything, be it money or chip or ball or stone or railing or whatever, and you made contact on that object and you touched your eyes or nose or face, you might end up getting infected. So make sure to avoid touching your face if you haven't washed your hands yet with water or soap, sanitizer, or alcohol.

The best way is to avoid crowded places. That, of course, includes casinos. If you don't feel any fun at all gambling in front of your desktop but you want to be safe, you better forget gambling for a while and look for some other fun thing to do. If you want to take the risk and continue to play at casinos, you just have to make sure to wear a face mask and avoid touching your face with your unwashed hands.

If a gambler is quarantined for a few weeks, that would help him avoid spreading the virus, especially to his family, if he is indeed positive of it. But not only that, it would also help him reduce his gambling loss. And who knows, he might find a new hobby or fun activity that is less costly while in quarantine? ;)

The best way to avoid the virus is to gamble online, real-world casinos are dangerous! since the crowd there might be too much sometimes and a lot of foreigners will go there also so, the virus might spread there even though there's only one carrier there. Online gambling is the best way to avoid it since you're not going to interact to any people and you will be safe from the virus.

Chips, Cards, people etc. lot things might be tool for infection of NCOV so, I highly suggest that you should stay home and as much as possible don't go out to avoid the virus. Prevention is better than cure! Stay safe my fellow gamblers.  :)

Chips look to be fairly durable.  There's no reason why at the end of the day they aren't put into the Casino equivalent of a dishwasher and get a clean - even if it's only a quick rinse-off.

Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

all places where many people are concentrated will be restricted, this will apply to physical casinos, but it is necessary to look at the profile of people who prefer to go to physical casinos to consider the hypothesis of some of them choosing online casinos.

some Online casinos create big headache because some of them hold very easily people's funds especially when it is a very large amount, others withhold people's deposits out of nowhere. These are cases that are easily found on the internet if anyone does some research and of course I imagine that someone who has a lot of money and plays in physical casinos would do a lot of research before using online casino

If we talk about casinos that use bitcoin it will also be another headache, because the person who plays in the physical casino would first have to buy bitcoin and then look for an online casino that is very reliable

I am of the opinion that even if physical casinos closed for some time, I very much doubt that many people who like physical casinos would look for online casinos

The best way it's not to gamble and save some money for medicines. Do you really think that vaccine will be free? (at least in first half of the year).

But it another opportunity for gambling services. It's time to gamble nor for dollars or bitcoins but for medicine masks and some other useful things  ;D

Chips look to be fairly durable.  There's no reason why at the end of the day they aren't put into the Casino equivalent of a dishwasher and get a clean - even if it's only a quick rinse-off.

I doubt that someone cleaning chips. But you shouldn't afraid about it. Covid is very fragile out of human body. Just three hours and chip is clean (virus will be dead)

maybe one of the main reason why this thread has been made is because to know the effect of the go with 19 to the gambling world which is the purpose is to be careful and everytime we are playing or gambling because there are different ways on how to spread covered 19 just like for example if you are dumpling are playing in a casino then probably you are having a physical contact with other person who is playing with you or gambling with you and there's a negative effect of it to the gambling world because if this happens the casino will be the one who will prevent this kind of situation.
The purpose if this thread how physical gambling site will help in the spread of COVID19 not covered 19 and how online crypto gambling site will be the best alternative for gamblers because the information provided by the centers of disease control and prevention stated that the virus can be through respiratory moistures produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes and have skin contact with an infected person.

I think that COVID-19 is definitely going to have a knock-on effect for brick and mortar casinos.

Where I live, people are already starting to avoid going to crowded places wherever possible, and physical casinos are definitely some of the most crowded places imaginable.

My local casinos was always filled with people hovering around the roulette and poker tables, and it was always packed to the brim with people—doubly so on the weekend.

Hopefully online casinos can begin to leverage this as part of their marketing efforts, extolling the benefits of online casinos over their (potentially dangerous) and expensive physical counterparts.

More people looking into online gambling and also crypto-based online gambling should hopefully also generate more interest in cryptocurrency as a whole for people who weren't previously aware of crypto or were against trying it out. I imagine a large amount of people that choose to gamble online will still flock to fiat-based online casinos mainly out of familiarity because many people are still wary about the volatility of cryptocurrencies and the risks involved, but this could certainly turn out good for crypto casinos.

Now officially, a lockdown by the law was forced in Italy and basically everything entertaining is closed (stadium, theaters...). Gambling you said :P, i think this is just the beginning and other countries will follow.
Economy is crippled! A devastating loss in stock markets, travel agencies, aviation services, movie theaters, museums. What may save gambling services is the presence of the online part definitely!
Someone may also invest on this : how many people will be declared infected tomorrow? X1, X1.5, X2? Place your bet!!

This is good for the crypto gambling world but not good economically globally.
Anyway, soon we can expect the growth of crypto casino, when people are restricted in going to this kind of entertainment, what else they have to do if they want to spend money, either they watch movies home and do some gambling and watching movie all the time is kinda boring.

Better switch on virtual gambling instead of doing physical activities on with betting on gambling. We should avoid those places that are prone with contact on other person presence. It must be a serious matter involved with the possibilities to acquire this kind of disease as well.

I think most of the gamblers at physical casinos will not transfer to crypto gambling if ever they will plan to have limited exposure to the physical casinos due to the virus.

There are lots of online casinos outside crypto and they will consider playing on that instead. A digital form of gambling but not crypto. I think some got confused about when it says online casino vs physical casinos wherein online means crypto. That's not how it is.

And I'm sure this virus isn't a threat yet, these gamblers are already playing at online casinos before.

But I believe, if they will encounter crypto online gambling sites while playing in these online casinos, they might consider it. Why? Because most crypto gambling sites don't require KYC and most gamblers prefer that. So those high rollers that wanted to hide their gambling activities will try crypto and see for themselves the benefit of using it. And you're saying that virus is not a threat yet? Have you seen the news that millions of dollars were lost by those Macau casinos when they shut down last month? And now that they reopened, I don't think a lot of gamblers will take the risk of going these casinos. So more losses for them.

Some of these gamblers has no idea with online gambling as its their way of gambling going into casinos.
It's true that online casinos could be fiat or crypto gambling but the most convenient is the crypto gambling IMO and if people shift to online, it also doesn't mean that they will all shift to crypto gambling but at least there's a new gamblers that would adopt to crypto gambling and who knows they'll fall in love with it and they will continue to gamble online.

The people infected are very small compared to the total population of the world, but the virus itself is a big threat as there's still no cure for this that has been publish publicly so people are afraid.

You're right and people do believe thats how it work when in talks of online casino where they do directly think of about crypto gambling online without even
knowing first that there were digital fiat online casinos for the time being or been a while.So they wont be sure if they switch to crypto or would just simply
jumped in into traditional gambling online for temporary basis until this issue or epidemic would be resolved.

Who knows? Don't be so negative, this is our of getting more adopters so why not ;D. You've a got a point tho but chances for them to shift of at least try cryptocurrency as their form of bet while gambling is big especially if the online site they used have that kind of option. Besides, lots crypto gambling sites spread all over the Internet so it's impossible for you that you won't encounter one while searching where you play.

Interactions between people are being lock down and yes, aside from china now it's italy and for sure more to follow as the spread of this virus
is very quick. Transferring by physical interactions from people who are already infected by this disease.
Online gambling will be the benefactors of this lockdown as gamblers can still place their bets using this services and still enjoy the game.

Covid-19 is spreading and many places are locked down here due to this virus. Even classes in school were suspended because of the increasing number of infected.

I think casino gamblers are aware of the risk if they continue playing in physical casinos. Thats why online casinos and crypto based gambling are good alternative. Its better to be careful or else we might put our health at risk for getting this virus.

I have read reports claiming that the Coronavirus will not survive in the air, if the temperature is more than 27 degrees Celsius (81 degrees Fahrenheit). So hopefully, by the start of the next month we'll be witnessing a complete stop in the transmission of this epidemic. But until then, most of the sports events will be cancelled, including the Olympics in Japan (and probably the IPL in India).

Still, we couldn't skip the fact that even there's a virtual world on gambling there are still people that will go on the physical places where they have to go and work for and that's the gamble of them. Even if we can play online there's a possibility that it may be offline as well if employees will not go on to their corresponding offices. It will be good if there's really a gambling platform where employees work remotely at all.

Yes, that is right. We still see some people in another country doesn't affect with the coronavirus, and they still go to any place they want even for playing gambling in the casino. I think the online gambling site will not go offline unless their server gets an attack or have trouble, so that makes all of their services go offline. They can maintain the server from far, so they don't have to go to their office, and if something wrong happens, they can fix it in their place.

They know their business pretty well, they should have a business continuity plan and they won't just stop because the system is compromise, they have already anticipated all the possibilities as they are dealing with money, a day loss or offline is already equivalent to a big money and at the same time it could also affect the reputation of the site which gamblers might panic.

If you are an online gamer you'll have fun even at home while if you are a gambler of course you can still enjoy online gambling, either you are into fiat or crypto gambling, what benefited on this pandemic is the online casino industry.

I really doubt that gamblers will be that responsible when it comes to gambling.Sure the offline casinos will be hit but the online ones will continue the same and may be with even more activity.May be the offline players will migrate to online casinos.I think gamblers will only buy the necessary food and then continue to play online as they normally do.

The affect of Covid-19 is a borderline disastrous to those offline fiat casino gambling. Some offline gamblers wouldn't cross the line staking their health just to have fun, and some additive offline gamblers might go and still continue to have fun. A complete lock down affects it just like how other events postponed because of the covid-19 threat.

Meanwhile, in online gambling industry (either its fiat of crypto) will posses the increase number of players because of the scariest thread of covid-19 that will just make us stay at home and perhaps only the online can make us have fun.

There is indeed a big chance for physical casinos to somehow lose participants because of the virus. Either way, even though there are preemptive measure done before someone could pass and go to a casino such as monitoring temperature, I think that people would still not prefer to going to a crowded place such as casinos. The virus could indeed affect the business and it would change the gambling world for a time being gradually until the virus would be cured.

We should always give more importance to our health and it would be advisable to stay indoors and if still want to play gambling, they could turn to online casinos.

In one of the casino that I just visited a couple of days ago, there are still a lot of people playing. They have this kind of scanner before you can enter though, if your body temperature is above normal, then they won't let you go inside the casino.

Anyways, just wanted to share that one event in tennis has been cancelled because of the corona virus scare.

this is a plus point for us onlline gamblers that uses crypto because this situation can drive people to play on here   .

after the virus threat ended people can the go back playing offline  or some would be loving to stay here   .  however i agree on what the guy above you have said that itl still have an effect on those who play sports/sports gambling   .  sports bettors can somehow transfer on classic online casino games for a while  ,this is another plus point to some site that isnt sports based  .

No one is safe with this kind of virus and anything that may have possible contact with a person so physical Casino is not safe in the one that will be hit tremendously I think the gambling world will just have a slight problem about this because right now there are online Casino's and I think Bitcoin gambling is helpful with these kinds of situations, and right now we really need to be online at all times to surely avoid contact with people and prevent having the COVID 19 virus.

Well yea, no one is safe, but I doubt physical casinos not being safe is an overstatement. As far as I know, they should've already performed meticulous security regarding the entry of certain players that may display certain symptoms of the virus, and there's also the notion of them making sure that every item in their possession is completely disinfected and safe from anything that could potentially let users get the virus.

Still, those physical casinos would probably see a drop in customer entries, especially with most people avoiding going outside if they can. Probably a choice to avoid spending more money in case of being hospitalized.

The Effect of the Virus not in the system but the thinking of many people in my opinion that will be the one that may take effect on the business of physical Casino's people will be scared eventually because I have seen it first-hand many malls that only have a few mall-goers, and grocery stores that have so many people that are panic buying, these are just the effect of the virus scare live Casinos would surely have a few people on it but many people would just consider being safe in the comfort of their homes.

I can't imagine that will be happen, since playing gambling is a hobby for some people. I mean, they will have a comfortable respectively. For us who know gambling online then we will choose it first before we choose come to gambling place directly and it otherwise with the gambler out there who likes to come gambling placr directly.

Compared to the online gamblers, there's more online gamblers than casino goers so definitely it would not affect a lot on the overall gambling industry.
Nowadays that the trend is online gambling and we can gambler through our pc and phone, for sure people are not worried about this as if they can't go to a physical casino, there's always another alternative which is the online casino.

Yeah right, all those establishments where people are mostly going are being closed or being advised not to go. The virus is quickly spreading out so offline gambling is not exempt as government will not allow anyone to being caught in the middle of this issue. Though gamblers still have good options using online especially those who are inside crypto as they can easily play without taking the risk.

Already affected. I think offline casinos have more affected than online casinos. Because people don't want to go to the crowd anymore. We all know the amount of crowds at offline casinos. So everyone wants to be at a safe distance from the crowd. So people are no longer interested in going to offline casinos. I think here is more chance for online casinos. 
Indeed. It is now already affected because the government in other countries have ordered that everyone should stay inside their home to keep themselves safe, so i think only few people will go at the casino just to gamble or maybe some casino are closed due to the corona virus. But gamblers could still gamble because there are still online gambling site, so that they could play and entertain themselves.
Compared to the online gamblers, there's more online gamblers than casino goers so definitely it would not affect a lot on the overall gambling industry.
Nowadays that the trend is online gambling and we can gambler through our pc and phone, for sure people are not worried about this as if they can't go to a physical casino, there's always another alternative which is the online casino.

That's what I said. Because people won't go out for the COVID-19. So they will gamble online at home. This will bring more online gamblers. Since people don't have to go out in the crowd, they will be more likely to come online gambling. This is Advantage for online gambling sites.

We all know that there is a virus outbreak named COVID-19 and it's spreading quickly throughout the entire globe. Though preventive and and can be somehow cured and be reduced by healing the specific symptoms one-by-one (based on Is there a cure for the new coronavirus? (https://www.livescience.com/can-coronavirus-be-cured.html) by Stephanie Pappas), there are still numerous cases in which would affect soon every single person on the planet.

Currently, there are 106,195 confirmed cases in which 42,405 cases that are active and almost 3,600 confirmed deaths around the world. COVID-19 can be passed in a lot of different ways, more likely to be through physical contact. And it is obvious that most gambling (especially physical casinos) were bombarded with strangers that aren't that assured if do have the disease or not, and has a high chance where many physical contact occurs (like passing of bank notes and bets).

Recently, there was an article titled South Korea burns, quarantines bank notes as Covid-19 rages (https://www.nst.com.my/world/world/2020/03/572340/south-korea-burns-quarantines-bank-notes-covid-19-rages) in which its states that one of South Korea's preventive measures is they've seen that, it is a risk and a huge possible that bank notes can carry the virus and with the papers being passed through the economy is also an implicit transmitting of the virus.

But then think of it. The casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching banknotes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto the digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
I think we could all agree with that. Besides online gambling is already a thing these days with the use of cryptocurrency the online gambling continues to become popular this day.
Plus with this virus, the use of online gambling might be an alternative to physical gambling where you needed to physically play the gambling games with the other, where you might be infected with the virus.
With online gambling, we could prevent the transmissions of the virus to the other people and at the same time maximize the time in gambling online other than going in a casino or something.

Also, the cryptocurrency might be the best alternative for money since there are rumors where the virus could be transmitted in physical money.

I doubt it is having any affect on online gambling since you are not interacting with any people at all and you are gambling through your monitor so it is totally fine. However, when it comes to real life casinos that must be a bit trickier to consider.

On one hand you are saying that people do not worry about virus when they are gambling because lets be honest if you are going to Vegas and gambling there you are having such a thrill and adrenaline rush that virus is the last thing you are worrying about and a true gambler knows that a virus that kills only 2% of the people who are infected are not really that much of a deal and 16 thousand infected among 400 million population means it is a low chance you will get it. On the other hand you say lower odd jackpots have been hit so why risk it? So, I know online is fine but I am not entirely sure about the brick and mortar ones.

It will, for one, definitely going to impair the gambling scene for a while before it gets into fully operational again once the vaccine for the virus is out. Physical gambling houses are susceptible for fast transmission of the virus causing it to spread at an unprecedented rate, therefore closing them down in the mean time is the most logical thing to do. Macau and HK and Singapore would be the ones who will be affected the most, that's for damn sure. Whereas Vegas would still be fully operational until further notice. Even though SARS-CoV-2 isn't as deadly as its 2 predecessors, knowing the demographics of those who gamble, it's really better to limit the amount of hours the gambling houses are open or just close them for the mean time.

The fact is, with such an outbreak in the world (or maybe a big hoax being spread by the media), either way people are stretching out money from both their banks and crypto just to get tested for this virus. While it's true that many patients are almost being tested and even treated for free, you can't deny the fact that some people are being charged a fortune worth $3k-$4k just to have a COVID-19 test conducted on them and the treatment bills are a surprise package if you are found with and get your treatment started for this virus. I agree that physical appearance of people in casinos may have got drastically impacted and the businesses have been hit badly due to this, but I have seen no such news on the increase in the number of people going digital in terms of gambling as everyone is currently trying to stay safe and fight this virus at their best with a face mask, washing hands carefully and avoiding direct contact with infected people or people who have cough, fever or pneumonia.

Can you share some sources here about that?

For testing suspected patients, it's always free of charge as it's a mandatory and necessary thing to do by each country's health department to ensure that as much as possible they will able to lock down all infected people in an isolated area to prevent further virus spread.

If that's true that people will pay for a test, I doubt many will undergo with it as the price you mentioned is insane and not afford by anyone.

Maybe that can be the way for gamblers to still playing gambling using crypto. Besides that, maybe we will see another news from the country that will finally accept crypto to be used as the payment solution because we can make an order to buy something and pay with crypto. With staying in their home, they actually can do many things with their family. That can help them to think about what they need to do to reduce their time in gambling.

I know some nurse who works for a private hospitals (Philippines), and I found out that there are some inconsistency on the process. Some of these hospitals, offer Free test but some they don't. However, the Free has only inclusions and limited only some test (not a fully COVID-19 standard test). Once, confirmed these private hospitals will transfer the patient to a Government Hospital and a signed waiver is included with it (Typical medical practice of a hospital, I guess).

They need to improve their testing and make sure its accurate,  otherwise, the report shown would be understated and there is a big risk that there are people who are already infected but are still free going in public places, this way the disease will spread easily and the more people will panic.

Offline gambling will be more affected here compare to online gambling. You've stated it already that when it comes to casinos, many people are going there making the casino crowded always and it increases the chances of them to get infected. A single host of virus can affect many people in just one night so with what is happening right now, the revenue of casinos will surely go down.

Compared to the online gamblers, there's more online gamblers than casino goers so definitely it would not affect a lot on the overall gambling industry.
Nowadays that the trend is online gambling and we can gambler through our pc and phone, for sure people are not worried about this as if they can't go to a physical casino, there's always another alternative which is the online casino.
Because of less hassle, gamblers will just choose to gamble online rather than going to a nearby casino which is more hassle to them.
Online gambling is already a trend as you said and most of the gamblers right now have access to the internet already so they will just open their phone and deposit their money in the site and they are good to go.

In Italy, initially they tried playing the matches in closed stadiums (i.e without any audience). But later, the authorities decided to postpone or cancel all the matches. It will definitely cause a lot of financial loss and may create economic burnout. But still, it is better than having thousands die from the virus, similar to what happened in China and Italy. This year is going to be very difficult for sports industry as a whole.

If you are sports gambler then there is a big difference as some of the high stakes matches will be cancelled because of the issues that we are going through globally and things are getting serious as the disease is spreading faster and you need to take precautions to avoid the spread. I never thought it will be a huge problem earlier but now things are changing and until the virus is not quarantined then i am not willing to spend time in a crowded place.

That would likely be the scenario, those who are much into gambling casinos will have to take a break and try online gambling for a change and this will have a good effect in the online gambling be it a Cryptocurrency based or not gambling casinos, and there's a possibility of introduction to online Cryptocurrency casino, that's one of the positive effect in the industry.

When it comes to viruses or any illness theres no such thing for it to depend on whose gonna be affected or not due to its popularity or fame.All humans can be affected
no matter what state of living you do have.Those people had just been known since they are actors and known players but overall, all of us are prone to this virus
and this doesnt only affect this sector or area but lots of.

The effect of COVID-19 to the gambling world is really drastic. Not only did it affect the real-life casinos in terms of gamblers and money, it also affects the online gambling world. Right now, we have heard of news that NBA games are already cancelled indefinitely. This means NBA online sports bettors are going to have a hiatus as well. I think this will worsen and affect other sports such as baseball, soccer, tennis, etc in the coming days.

ouch that is bad . this gives a big threat to the sports betting casinos  . i think thier sales can go down if this issue of virus continues but on the bright side is normal gambling site will experience an inclined on thier sales because other gamblers could be switching on them  . both ex sport bettors and ex offline bettors would find them sleves trying and playing a dice game or a slot game    . thats good because they can expand thier game list and to learn new sklll which can give them another source of income and entertainment

Correct, not only the offline gamehouse but also those heavy favorite sports betting games. After the suspension of NBA  we will expect more
games to follow this lead, and from that point the online casino will also suffer.
And adding to that, the reality which gamblers also needs to save money for their needs, if this crisis will proceed and take much longer time..

Corona was now officially a pandemic disease and everywhere people are in panic which got reflected on global economic status as well.

If matches are going to be held without any spectators then more losses for the BCCI again because every matches thousands of people buying tickets at premium rate so BCCI going to be okay with losses.

I am of the opinion that the Coronavirus pandemic will be contained in the next few months and as the summer season arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, we are going to witness less number of new cases with every passing day. So I guess it will be better for the BCCI to postpone the matches, rather than conducting the tournament without any spectators now. But then, the international cricket calendar is very crowded and a postponed schedule may not be welcomed by some of the cricket boards.

If this would continue on further months then we would really expect that lots of businesses will shutdown.People wont tend to go into those crowded places due to to nCov.

we have already seen on how many had postponed events which mainly affect neither offline or online platforms as long it do involves crowd betting then they are the main
ones that been affected and its a sure loss or profit for them.

 Has there been any crypto company that made any announcement about the virus related cancelled stuff? I mean it has been getting out of hand pretty quickly and I wasn't really aware it was a big deal up until today. Today has become one of the most commonly cancelling days it has been ever since this virus started, on bigger nations like italy there has been higher level of cancelling, and in places like USA there has been travel ban, and in smaller places there has been smaller stuff. But everywhere has a cancelling thing going on.

 I doubt it would continue forever but I am pretty sure crypto companies have to make some sort of announcement about the cancelling all together, %99 there will be refunds directly and the ones who do not refund the bet will probably be scrutinized like hell and would probably just get lynching from us and will be either forced to leave crypto world all together or just pay back with maximum damage already done anyway.

 Real life casinos must be getting A LOT less people as well, chips changing hands and people using same cards etc etc, it looks like there will be a lot more dangers to people to get corona virus infected in a casino so people are probably staying away more frequently these days.

 Lets hope the peak has already happened and we will see the end of it in less than a month or so in order to back to our lives.

Online gambling or other digital gambling is not only available in cryptocurrency and even before the outbreak of the corona virus, online gambling has become an alternative to many gamblers in the world I think so, even though they are switching to online gambling but still they are not fully using crypto because every country has digital money itself which allows them to still be able to gamble online using their currency. Online gambling has grown before the corona virus but after this incident it is very possible online gambling and other digital activities will become even more popular.

 when crypto came out , crypto gambling also spawn and become popular  . this is only time i invovled playing online  .  and i dont also think that those non crypto gambling sites survived up this point    . crypto gambling is something that is fast and anonymous ,this is why many people will prefer it compare to non crypto gambling   .curently many teams are unable to play and many games have been cancel due to the epdimic  .  it does have a big impact on the gambling world but mostly in a negative way

Online casinos will surely receive surge of people that will gamble. The problem will arise is if they can accomodate all of this surge in players. Though there will be a surge in players, we must consider that not all gamblers will try the online casino, some might not get the experience they get in physical casinos. In short, increase of patronage for online casino will increase enough that people will notice but not drastically.

Yes, the gamblers that has an itch with their hands looking for a place to gamble might look to online gambling and with cryptocurrencies. I guess many of them are already aware of it and planning ahead to get in touch with it once the casinos are also locked down.

This depends on how wealthy the gambler is. But for small gamblers that doesn't want to spend for the moment because we're facing a global pandemic and together with the huge drop of the crypto market, we might relax for a bit and wait until everything calms.

This would be their opportunity to gamble and maybe invest at the same time.
If they are gambling using bitcoin, they don't have to worry on its price volatility as its likely to rise soon as this panic is over, so that would give them like a bonus.

This depends on how wealthy the gambler is. But for small gamblers that doesn't want to spend for the moment because we're facing a global pandemic and together with the huge drop of the crypto market, we might relax for a bit and wait until everything calms.
I could spend, I am not wealthy, and even with this crisis, we can still enjoy gambling if that could really entertain us.

Now i have to stay home ,so basically im gambling again because of the corona  ;D
i'm not sick  :P
Great, enjoy, we will all stay at home because we are scared that we will be infected on the corona virus, if person like Gobert and Tom Hanks are infected, how much more an ordinary people like us, we have to be careful as this is a deadly virus, so chill at home, gamble all you want and enjoy the break.

The more the known personality and higher the chances of meeting or coming in contact with other persons the risk rises of getting infected . So people if possible should avoid travelling and I think now days even casinos would be quite empty as not much travellers are travelling and would like to stay away from a crowded place . This would have an impact in the gambling world for surely .

There's a big impact, a negative impact but at least this would also help the online casino grow at the same time.
This pandemic has starting to crush our economy, however, the gambling industry is big enough, most gamblers are online gambling so they can still certainly do their thing even without the threat is getting higher for the corona virus to spread more.

Agree there were bunch of websites/platforms offering the same thing like what a physical casino has. The difference is the environment of visiting a physical casino that is far exciting than the digital ones. And mostly grown-ups, or the aged people who aren't literate on handling technologies wouldn't be able to play online casinos without the assistance of somebody knowledgeable on it. Well, most of the death cases with COVID-19 are the elderly thus, they must the first one to comply with such proper action to avoid such threats. Anyway, high hopes that such threatening virus must come on its end soon.

At this point as the virus is a serious threat, it should be the government to act and make some decision to either ban or lock down the country we are living, travelling in different places will put as at risk and might also put other people's health at risk as corona virus does not show symptoms right away, we might think we don't have it yet but we might be wrong.

Same here, since NBA and our local Basketball was ban, it's hard to enjoy when what you really love is to do sports betting.

There are no exception with regards to this virus. Even you are a celebrity or a famous one, you are not an exception for this.

Gobert as well as Mitchell are both athletes so they have a strong body and they can fight the virus but they need to be quarantined and I hope that they will recover as soon as possible. Tom Hanks and his wife are also infected and the wife of the Canadian PM is also positive with the virus and he is doing a self quarantine too.

I would highly suggest to not gamble on casinos right now but gamble online if you really want to gamble. Aside from that, it would be better if you spend your time with your family instead of spending time gambling :D.

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
I think the opportunity is only 50:50 (people who cannot do traditional gambling for fear of contracting the virus move to digital gambling) because many traditional gamblers also not know and not believe in digital gambling.  at the moment there are many soccer bets that are losing money because of the postponement of various big matches such as soccer, basketball, etc.  the impact of the panic that happened really greatly influenced the world of gambling.

I strongly agree with your opinion, today the President of the Philippines (Duterte) officially announced closing the city of Manila and this is a good and fast step taken by a country leader, to reduce the virus from spreading to their city.

Gambling is a game which can be played offline without being physical presence at casino.

Well, simply it has made its biggest move so far yet today. NBA is suspended until further notice, when NBA gets suspended rules says that related to nation wide health concerns that is literally minimum one month and that will come to April when the playoffs start. So, we are basically at the risk of not having any NBA this year at all. Not a lockout, no a small amount of game, not a 50 game season, we are talking about a year with absolutely no champions at all. That means so many things for NBA and we can't gamble at all.

I am not even sure what outrights will do, many people wagered that Clippers or Lakers will be champions, since there is a chance that nobody will be a champions, if season doesn't return we are talking about millions of dollars just going back to gamblers.

Some cities are having a lockdown and it's a good opportunity for online gambling sites to promote online gambling to gamblers in these cities, but with the way things are going, they prefer to watch what's going on around them than spend time gambling online, we are on a watching mode waiting if this epidemic will have a cure or just go away.
Being optimistic, It will decrease in physical but will increase in digital. More people will adopt the use of online gambling and will use cryptocurrency for betting. It is the rise of online gambling and the right time to make promotions on their platform to get more users and investors.

Getting attached to each other is already forbidden, one of the precautionary measures to avoid Covid-19. So that means, casino gambling is not recommended in this situation where the virus is very active.

Maybe this is the time for you gamblers to stop for a while. Hold your funds and keep it for now or use it in other things that you love to do :D. Gambling sites are still there but if you are betting on sports events, you might need to stop temporary because most of the games are suspended because of this shitty virus.

How would they control it, is there any vaccine that is already out to battle this virus?
I mean, it's spreading fast, if there is no cure for this, controlling this would be a very hard job, and not everyone who are positive and quarantine.

Its really strange that all the countries of the world are not able to develop a single vaccine to get this coronavirus issue sorted. Not just gambling but the whole world and all the business are effected by it and the people all over the world are becoming locked up to some extent. This is a global emergency and we can only hope this issue get resolved as soon as possible.

Online gambling is in fact not affected by corona virus because here people do not have to meet each other rather they play by sitting at home. But we can experience decrease in the money used for betting because of this pandemic because people have to spend a lot on its medical treatment.

This is good for the crypto gambling world ...
[snip]
You're right and people do believe thats how it work when in talks of online casino where they do directly think of about crypto gambling online without even
knowing first that there were digital fiat online casinos for the time being or been a while.So they wont be sure if they switch to crypto or would just simply
jumped in into traditional gambling online for temporary basis until this issue or epidemic would be resolved.
Who knows? Don't be so negative, this is our of getting more adopters so why not ;D. You've a got a point tho but chances for them to shift of at least try cryptocurrency as their form of bet while gambling is big especially if the online site they used have that kind of option. Besides, lots crypto gambling sites spread all over the Internet so it's impossible for you that you won't encounter one while searching where you play.
You cant tell because not all people will able to encounter crypto thing online unless if they do able to read it up somewhere on some links which would
awaken up their curiosity towards it.Im not really that too positive in regards to that but for sure there are some who would take some check and might
able to try it up later on.Not all are internet tech savvy which if they do find it complicated then they will surely choose fiat tx online instead.



Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

It is indeed a chance now for online gambling business since they do know that those physical casinos had been close or temporary unavailable due to this
current pandemic situation of covid-19.They will surely use up that advantage to get more users or customers neither on crypto gambling sites or
to those traditional fiat ones.Hopefully that this issue would be resolved soon and everything would go back to normal.

I think both online and offline casino will suffer from this epidemic. Basically no one wants to spend fiat at the moment as in time of crisis you will need money to live on. Bitcoin casinos will suffer as fist value of Bitcoin has gone down considerably, they need Fiat to run their operation. Because of the damm virus everyone will suffer directly or indirectly.

Yeah, cryptocurrency is not a safe haven for this crisis, everyone will be affected. Physical and online gambling will suffer I am sure that their gamblers is going to decrease because of this crisis. People will choose to spend their money on goods, to protect their family from the virus and to survive. All markets now and lot of industries are taking the damage because of this virus, lot of people are losing jobs and money.

A virus does not really care about your celebrity status, they are as susceptible to get the virus as anyone else, however since they can buy a huge amount of supplies and hide in a place no one can find that means they could hide in the case things get really bad and only emerge once there is a cure for the virus, so right now what you can do is to cut all your expenses that are not really necessary, and unfortunately that includes cutting your gambling budget, and use some of that money to buy supplies.

I am seriously afraid to venture out when the situation is getting worse on a daily basis and hence gambling online or watching movies online is the only option i have right now, my work place has shut down for the past few days and it is a worrying prospect right now as i have no idea when things will get to normal and the only option for me is to spend time at home and do something that will take the pressure off from me and casino is the only option as the sporting events are also getting postponed.

I believe that online casinos will gain ground over normal casinos due to the negative effect that covid19 is causing humanity. Countries are taking security measures so that people do not frequent places of crowds. If we realize these contingency measures are replaced by online activities such as work, studies, entertainment, etc.

Before Covid19 I was watching with interest the games in the blockchain-based Apps that was starting an interesting boom. We just have to wait for this bad weather from Covid19 to pass and study its result. There will definitely be a lot of work to do to cultivate our best ideas in the game industry and blockchain in general.

That is why I want the gamblers right now to stop gambling for the meantime and focus on how to be safe in times like this.

Now is the time for them to stop gambling temporarily if they care their health. The safety of the people right now are far more important than spending your time gambling. If there are some countries who are heavily hit by this virus, there are some countries who have low cases at this moment so maybe they have the time to gamble online and one more they don't need to go outside so they will not be affected by the virus. Just don't panic with this virus since we have a more than 40% recovery rate around the world - far more than the fatality rate.

if you are not aware,casinos are being temporarily closed by the Government(well for my country indeed,don't know to others)and i believe this is one good action to prevent the spread of this killer virus.

I just see that the COVID- 19 has exposed the need, importance and optional value for online games, trading and barter trade, digital currency use. Like some countries have started burning off the fiat notes because of contacts.

If not for the impossibilities of live football matches being made as online , the euphoria of the fun in live football matches would have continued but let's be hopeful that soonest, all football games will continue with spectators that adds to the glee of the games. As I heard that human testing of vaccine has started in US, I hope it makes positive reactions.

Coronavirus is going to give place to online casinos.
As all people and more and more countries pose sanctions to their people in order to stay home, people will find ways to gamble online. I hope this is going to raise awareness for the crypto gambling industry in order to bring more mass adoption.

It's too risky to go out of the house to gamble. But surely online gambling and direct gambling in casinos, will be different in every game and atmosphere. But inevitably it must be done, for the sake of safety and health together.

I hope there will be someone who often to play cosino to play online casino and he made a review against it. As you may know when this virus come bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole are being discussed that cryptocurrency can be made as an alternative for the using money fiat.

Someone can be contracted through money paper which is mean the money that he had was using by someone who has been infected. But until know I haven't saw any statement for new people here and haven't found any information against it as well. Because they will just believe to money fiat, as well as in gambling. They may playing casino online but they use money fiat as a tool.

I think even if we insist to go out and gamble, that would still not happen as casinos will be closing temporarily due to this covid-19 pandemic,
If Las Vegas one of the biggest casino in the world close their business, for sure this small casinos will also close and we have no option but to do our gambling needs online.

Indeed, the COVID-19 is a pandemic virus around the world and it may easily pass to others by just simply coughing and nowadays we don't have any cured that invented, that's why the only need that we can do is to stop spreading it in all over the world by just simply avoid to go in crowded places. Gambling casino is one of the known crowded places because were just interacting with each other personally. If we can't stop ourselves to play gambling it is necessary to play online gambling because will prevent the virus from spreading it by just playing virtual casino's and also it will help us to protect ourselves in a pandemic virus.

I don't think it will improve digital gambling, recently the site that I played closed all other types of coins except BTC, yes because of the drastic decline in market prices, they did not have time to sell or hold it and suffered significant losses.
so they apply a deposit and withdrawal system using BTC only.
and I think this will be bad because the BTC fee is higher than the doge or TRX.

Covid-19 effect is really very detrimental to human life, because the gambling world is very affected by the spread of covid-19.
Now some countries that have gambling places like Macau and Las Vegas have to close their businesses to prevent the spread
covid-19. Because as we know the spread of covid-19 through physical contact. So from now on the solution to be able to keep
gambling is by gambling online. Because gambling online people can calmly gamble without having to worry about being infected.

Of course covid-19 has a very frightening effect, its spread does not look so contagious, especially in gambling places that have high popularity is certainly very dangerous.

A good step for someone who is addicted to gambling should play online gambling, only by relaxing at home can do the gambling.  Just use your fingers for those who play on a smartphone and use the mouse cursor for those who use a computer.  It will be more fun than playing outside.

Even if most people focus to think of COVID-19, it doesn't mean they cannot play gambling and don't have the intention of gambling. I don't know if fewer people to play online gambling, but for gambling in real life surely "yes" since many of them are closed.

First you want to make sure you are healthy and then you think about making money.
Indeed. Make sure that you can prevent yourself from COVID-19. Stay safe and stay at home! That's what most people are doing right now. About their funds/money, they should take a priority for daily needs than for playing gambling. It is normal if they prioritize health than making money from gambling.

Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

But the main concern here right now is how to make that virus go away and not time to gamble online, people who are gambling in casinos can play in online gambling casinos but I doubt if they can and will spend hours to play online when there is a big concern going around the world.

Trust me, they are gambling. I can say this because of the fact that a lot of people are still carefree about this situation. Not all of the countries have it bad, there are still those countries that are still not affected and even some countries are already affected, there are still those physical gambling that is happening especially online gambling or betting since most of the people nowadays are at their houses containing themselves to avoid the virus.

It would be the priority now rather than thinking for yourself to play gambling into these times where our health is at risk.
Its just dumb for you to mind on how to play that you know that theres a big problem out there. Getting infected and its
expense on treatment wont really be a joke and also put yourself at risk on dying and since you do know on that possibility then
why would consider to proceed?

It would be much more better if you do just stay home and wait for total recovery and everything goes back to normal
before you do go proceed into your traditional habits.

COVID-19 really affects so many people in our world, there are already a lot of businesses that are being affected by the virus, in a way that most of the employees are temporarily unemployed because of the virus, even the gambling world are being affected because of this virus, there are already a lot of real life casino that is temporarily banned to avoid gamblers to play and get contacted to many people, well banning the real life casino is a good decision because if the gamblers is so addicted on playing, he or she won't mind the virus, he or she still play anytime.

As virus is still in our country, Online gambling is being mostly used by many people because they can play even they are at home, they don't need to go outside only to play.

I believe that online casinos will gain ground over normal casinos due to the negative effect that covid19 is causing humanity. Countries are taking security measures so that people do not frequent places of crowds. If we realize these contingency measures are replaced by online activities such as work, studies, entertainment, etc.
The effect on the gambling world of this virus will be enormous, in my country casinos were already ordered to close their doors and I can see this happening all over the world, many people also like to bet on sports and for the most part that is not possible anymore, so the only alternative left for those that want to gamble is to do it online but I suppose there is even a decrease in the activity of online casinos as people prioritize other things like buying supplies in the case of an even greater emergency.

I wonder how much pokerstars must be getting right now. They are an online poker website so they must be getting a lot more customers, they literally have 1 cent 2 cent blinds there which means you do not have to be rich to gamble there, I have played on those tables and I have seen pots that were lower than 1 dollar many many times, highest I have seen was 2.20 on those tables, so people were basically playing with as little amount as it gets and spending hours there.

With the corona virus and everyone being isolated, I feel like maybe there could be people who are staying at home and started back on gambling on online websites, not all online websites are crypto and not all gambling is sportsbooks, so there could be many online non-sorts games that people gamble right now.

What is happening now is just the tip of the iceberg.

COVID 19 is manytimes more contagious when compared to similar viruses such as MERS and SARS. Expect total collapse of the world economy in the next few months. Under such circumstances, no one is even going to care about the casinos.

This is good for the crypto gambling world ...
[snip]
You're right and people do believe thats how it work when in talks of online casino where they do directly think of about crypto gambling online without even
knowing first that there were digital fiat online casinos for the time being or been a while.So they wont be sure if they switch to crypto or would just simply
jumped in into traditional gambling online for temporary basis until this issue or epidemic would be resolved.
Who knows? Don't be so negative, this is our of getting more adopters so why not ;D. You've a got a point tho but chances for them to shift of at least try cryptocurrency as their form of bet while gambling is big especially if the online site they used have that kind of option. Besides, lots crypto gambling sites spread all over the Internet so it's impossible for you that you won't encounter one while searching where you play.
You cant tell because not all people will able to encounter crypto thing online unless if they do able to read it up somewhere on some links which would
awaken up their curiosity towards it.Im not really that too positive in regards to that but for sure there are some who would take some check and might
able to try it up later on.Not all are internet tech savvy which if they do find it complicated then they will surely choose fiat tx online instead.



Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
Some cities are having a lockdown and it's a good opportunity for online gambling sites to promote online gambling to gamblers in these cities, but with the way things are going, they prefer to watch what's going on around them than spend time gambling online, we are on a watching mode waiting if this epidemic will have a cure or just go away.
Being optimistic, It will decrease in physical but will increase in digital. More people will adopt the use of online gambling and will use cryptocurrency for betting. It is the rise of online gambling and the right time to make promotions on their platform to get more users and investors.

Getting attached to each other is already forbidden, one of the precautionary measures to avoid Covid-19. So that means, casino gambling is not recommended in this situation where the virus is very active.

It is indeed a chance now for online gambling business since they do know that those physical casinos had been close or temporary unavailable due to this
current pandemic situation of covid-19.They will surely use up that advantage to get more users or customers neither on crypto gambling sites or
to those traditional fiat ones.Hopefully that this issue would be resolved soon and everything would go back to normal.
Corona will not affect those who are enjoying online gambling. Online gambling does not need any kind of interaction with other players and as a matter of fact, the corona is not transferred online. We can see an overall decrease in the revenue of the gambling market but no evident effect on the pursuers of the online games.

Well, this is the advantage of having lots of money where no matter what would be situation is they can still do things that they want

but wont totally restrict them down.

I really hope it does not get to those levels but many people are still not taking this outbreak seriously and that is a problem since it will become impossible to stop a great deal of people getting infected with the virus, if we are lucky the virus may be controlled during the next months but if we are not then its influence could last for years, in that case obviously casinos will be deeply affected as people prefer to spend their money in stuff they actually need instead of a luxury like gambling.

Well, people should avoid the crowded places like that when necessary, until everything calms down again. 
By the way, the physical casinos and other crowded places like that could also provide enough hand sanitizer and other hygiene stuff close to those machines for people to use.,


It is a great opportunity for the cryptocurrency casinos that have a lot of gambling games apart from sports betting to show off in the market.
I hope they are going to get strong reputation during the coronavirus era and people start seeking for online ways of gambling.
The crypto market gives an alternative to this activities.

Ofcourse.
But I would rather call it betting than gambling. It would be nice in online future to ask people to "bet but don't gamble". Bettors will be aware of the difference and that will probably help reduce the temptation to gamble or take big risk in online casinos. Who knows, the use of the word gamble for all bettings could be "psychological" pushing safe bettors into gambling.

This is the time for other games to be appreciated, when sports betting was still available, majority of the gamblers are gambling on it, now that there's no games maybe gamblers now are already exploring other online games and new games will be introduce to them.

When the was no no pandemic yet, I use to gamble mostly in sports, now I am back to playing dice games, and as usual, sometimes I lose, sometimes I win, but at the end of the day, I always made sure to enjoy.

Not too much TBH since there are no casinos who are going bankrupt at this time that they are closed. We know already that the owners gained a lot of profit in their casinos already.

The gambling economy?? In the first quarter of 2020, definitely their revenue has decreased a lot since they've been forced to close because of this shitty virus but as the problem is solved they can gain what they've lost in no time since many are gamblers missed gambling. In my opinion, as the casinos reopen gamblers will go there immediately. Spending your time in other things aside from gambling is a good move too since we can lessen our spending on it.

But we should also acknowledge the financial part of it. Since some of the people already don't have a job anymore because of this coronavirus (covid19) outbreak, unless they can still work from home and still can earn money.
If most of the people don't have money anymore because no more work, it could also affect their gambling life, no money, possibly can't deposit and play online.

Definitely, it would be so stupid to still gamble if we are having a problem with our income these days.

Our focus now is to prevent getting infected and to survive while staying at home, gambling has to be eliminated as part of our activity as we are not anymore illegible to gamble since we will break the principle of "gamble what you can afford to lose".. we can't afford to lose money at this time.

I am also a little bit worried about this kind of situation because those savings of other people who got no more jobs will also put into danger.
Because as we all know that gambling is also a kind of entertainment or such activity for some people who get bored, so there are still many possibilities that they can use their savings for their family to play gambling online.
I hope most of us become responsible especially these kinds of situations.

There are a lot of people today does not go into the gambling places like the casino because we need to have a social didtancing because we are avoiding the spreading of the virus, also there is an alternative way to play gambling because today we have now an online platform to play more gambling games by that you can enjoy while you are in your house and take a rest also you can be confident on playing without pressure because you are confident and compatible to play, also you can make an advantage because you can make a research about the things you can do while in the game because it takes time before they ask the question to you again for your deals.

Food? TP? I think as long as you have a job and not fired and still get your salary anyway, you are actually going to be better. I mean there must be some people who got fired probably, but they can't fire you just because we have corona, plus if you get fired you can probably apply for some income from the government for it or sue the company that fired you and get your money anyway. Basically it is bad for them but not really for us.

I'm sure everyone is aware of that, let us not gamble like we usually do when there was no pandemic yet as we might need that funds if the pandemic will stay longer. Gambling does not guarantee a win and although we say that we are gambling for fun but we still need to be careful as one mistake might destroy our finances and we might struggle to survive in this crisis.

Some sites divulge their profit, some not, for sites that accept investment, they are sure sharing their profit to be transparent to their investors but most of the gambling sites does not accept investment, so we won't know. Let's just use a simple analysis here, the fact that they remain in operation, that means they are profitable in their business.

Keep safe and stay with your family you'll be able to survive if you have enough funds, be wise in this crisis period we
do need more reserve money than using it for any leisure activities.

I'm sure everyone is aware of that, let us not gamble like we usually do when there was no pandemic yet as we might need that funds if the pandemic will stay longer. Gambling does not guarantee a win and although we say that we are gambling for fun but we still need to be careful as one mistake might destroy our finances and we might struggle to survive in this crisis.

exactly . single simple mistake is deadly  . i remember before i was verry careful and said to myself to not going to be addicted but one time a mistake happen that i accedentaly tap the all in button and loose , i was so sad and leads me to be greedy to depo again and recover that losses and that is the start of my gambling addiction  . luckily those times were gone and im now gambling carefully again   . its true that we must gamble moderately with or without crisis like this because on gambling money is not guaranteed   .

Us who have experience can always see the risk, though we have the experience as a gambler and we think we are matured already but we are not perfect we can still commit mistakes, and the worst mistake is when we keep on chasing loses until we go all in, and the result does not favor us.

The number of cases has increased a lot in just a short period of time. My sympathy goes to Italy, the president cried and it's terrible there. How I wish that this crisis will be ending within a few span of time.

Necessities first before gambling.
Good point, necessities before any thing else. This virus hurts most countries economy and before thinking of anything.
Keep safe and stay with your family you'll be able to survive if you have enough funds, be wise in this crisis period we

I have talked with few places in the crypto casino world and they are all telling me that their numbers are through the rough!

They are all getting a lot more customers than they usually do and they have been making a ton of money as well because most of those people are so bored that they do not stop when they win and they continue to gamble to pass the time and end up losing even when they were ahead just a few hours ago, so it is actually the greatest time to own a crypto casino.

Obviously, these places spent months to launch, years to build a reputation and now they are taking advantage of that, no place that can start right away and get customers can become big these days because they are all new and have to prove themselves first. I guess it is like any other business, you have to build some relationships first.

The effect of the wide spreads of covid-19 on gambling platforms will be more on the traditional gambling platforms than the online casinos across the world. We have seen government of various countries implementing their bans on citizens while.some countries have embarked on total lockdown of their various states.

The social distance rule was introduced to curb the spread of this pandemic and with this happening, the gambling platforms are going to be more hit than the online casinos. Currently, my own country has stop all the traditional gambling platforms and have also embarked on lockdown of the state.

Agree with you on this opinion, the increase in this industry will be as a result of traditional gambler's who haven't gotten the Zeal's to join the world of online casinos. As a gambler, I have meet some good traditional co-gamblers who are now interested in getting involve in the online casinos platforms, this will increase the industry because of the covid-19.

The effects of covid-19 will actually have positive impact on the gambling platforms and will eventually increase her revenue generation this trying times on covid-19.

What we are doing now is just speculating that since physical casinos are close, they are now shifting to online casinos, but what about their source of income, if its affected then eventually they have will not gamble as there is a shortage of income or funds.

That was my personal opinion as a financialist and not any form of speculatives from any source. Come to reason This: they have placed ban of sports and many have been postponed to April 30th which means that, only the online casinos platforms will be  lively at the moment for gambler's across the globe. What it means is: the system will get more players onto their respective platforms and revenue will increase eventually.

This isn't speculation of any type because the facts are very clear. Many other gamblers will join the online casinos. Just a reminder: many of these online casinos now accepts fiats for deposit and also for withdrawal, so, they are free to deposit their fiats and gamble on the platform. A true spirited gambler will not lack funds if he or she gamble responsively.

The only positive impact of the virus with the gambling platforms is that their revenue will increase as more gamblers will choose to gamble online right now because of the virus that is spreading and the casinos are being closed which is already stated. There's no need for confirmation here since we can see it already. We know that there are gamblers out there who can't wait to long for them to gamble and they will find a way to gamble and gambling online is the way. With this, revenue of the gambling sites will increase as more gamblers will gamble to their platform.

it is possible, but social interaction is one of the main aspects of casino play, and i think that casinos will be back into game after this corona meltdown, sure online casinos will surge and take increased market share, but still casinos will exist

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

Right now, COVID-19 did not just decrease physical gambling in my country. COVID-19 makes the casinos close for a month. Yes there is a big chance that some cases of a person being infected is by touching of casino coins etc. Since before, it will take 2 weeks before noticing that you have virus. Person who is infected can freely go to casinos, play and infect others. Online gambling? Maybe there are still some who gamble. Probably they are the higher class people who are not worried that they have nothing to eat even though they lose on gambling in this situation.

I think the effect of COVID-19 to the gambling world is the booming of online gambling. It can be easily accessed. I can't fully say gamblers stop gambling just because of the cancellation of games. I believe gamblers being quarantined at home will make there way to online casinos. Isolation at home will put them in a risky behavior, specially when there's boredom and few little things to do.

Check this one.

But there’s another, less inviting, aspect of technology. The effects of self-isolation – countless hours with often no more company than a computer screen – are also the perfect conditions for online gambling. Gambling companies have realised this and already appear to be using our newfound isolation to their own advantage. Where quarantine has meant a downturn for many businesses, gambling companies may see this period as a huge opportunity to increase their profit margins.

You might be right or wrong but we can't deny the fact that people now are in panic, they stay at home but they are uncertain as to when the world will be back to normal again and in this time of crisis, we need to secured funds for our needs and not waste it in gambling.

I am addressing my opinion to people who still allocate funds in gambling despite not anymore making money they usually make.

Gambling world is not just the casinos you go to, do not forget about the online casinos that people are going right now because there are not that many other stuff they like to do for now. Poker website pokerstars for example recently had a new update because they couldn't handle all the new traffic, that was one part of showing how much people are gambling.

Crypto casinos are living the same thing as well, look at number of people who are gambling at stake for example, it is one of the highest I have seen in months. So, basically gambling world is both hurt and also profiting right now. The casinos you go to are hurting a lot, casinos online are profiting like hell right now. I guess we will see what will happen at the aftermath when corona is over.

I'm sure covid-19 have a huge impact on sportsbook as the operators or the owners are forced to stop or postponed as the sports or games are being cancelled or postponed due to covid-19. Some will have less time spent on gambling because of having a hard time to buy bitcoin using fiat especially if using bank accounts are not available to buy bitcoin. Also less money will be spent on gambling as they are focus on other things because of the quarantine but for those who have enough bitcoin and have enough fiat money to survive then he/she will be able to gamble but in my opinion it is much better if you keep it in case you run out of fiat money.

Those who are also living to this kind of activities they will use their crypto to continue playing not even there's a Corona virus, this people who are leaning to this industry are not cared if how things might turned out the important is they will try their luck if they'll able to win and earn something from this activities.

The effect on the gambling world of this virus will be enormous, in my country casinos were already ordered to close their doors and I can see this happening all over the world, many people also like to bet on sports and for the most part that is not possible anymore, so the only alternative left for those that want to gamble is to do it online but I suppose there is even a decrease in the activity of online casinos as people prioritize other things like buying supplies in the case of an even greater emergency.
Corona has really shattered the gambling economy since people are unable to enjoy casinos and bet on sports because no sports are being held anywhere in the world. We common people are simply ordered to remain at homes and people have right now many other preferences than gambling.
Unfortunately this was inevitable, this virus is very dangerous and now the effects not only can be felt in the health of those that have been infected but now also the economy is suffering, in my country many restaurants are on the brink of bankruptcy and this is because people do not really want to spend money there not only because of the virus but also because they are trying to save every penny and it is likely the gambling industry is also going to be severely affected by the economic crisis that is coming.

This virus has effected all sports around the world along with the sportsbooks however I can see something new come out of this and that is virtual sports that we can bet on. There are some virtual sports right now like horse racing, greyhound racing and cock fighting, I think this can open up the doors for more virtual sports which I think we'll start to see in the future. Just imagine seeing a virtual football game and being able to bet on it.

I think virtual horse racing has been existing even before the covid19 comes out except the two.

In what casino specifically you're betting with those? I've seen the virtual horse racing before with a new site two years ago but AFAIK they've closed eventually.

Probably but we can't really be sure with that, maybe those gambling sites like dice sites because people can't gamble in sports now, so some gamblers just stick with playing dice games, and we know in dice games, money are instant, either you loss or win but they'll win most of the time due to the house edge. This is a good time also for some gamblers to finally know about crypto online gambling, and hopefully they'll find it easy to use.

We can also assumed that online gambling sites are making good money because of the recent pandemic. Remember that those who have gambled a lot in a traditional based casino I would say is around 30 and higher age bracket. So majority are not that highly inclined to sit in their table with a computer. They might be having a hard time navigating around online casino websites. So we can't say if casino's profit did increase unless they published their reports which I doubt they will do.

it's not too difficult to understand web sites for gambling, and I guess that they will be easy to adapt.
I think online gambling sites have increased revenue because the average online player is increasing every day.

With the casino's close and cancelled sports. It makes me realize that a lot of employees are not working, and they will not be paid. I hope the companies are doing something for their employees. It will be fine for those who have have safety nets and those people who can stock groceries they needed for months. But how about the employees who don't?

Casino's should support their employees, it will take a toll to their economic status but during this pandemic, its their responsibility. Read this article about how Nba teams and players help their stadium workers during this lockdown.

Sports betting has come to a complete halt now, because hardly any matches are going on due to the COVID 19 outbreak. I used to make bets in cricket, football and boxing, but for the last 2-3 weeks, almost all the matches have been either postponed or cancelled. And even worse, here in India the government has declared a 21-day lockdown and as a result we can't even get out of our houses now.

If you are just relying on governments help then there's nothing gonna happen to you and imagine how big the numbers of family they needed to help and what if when your turn come and there's nothing left due to lack of supply? you will strive to hunger in that matters that's why you need to find a side job and if you are in big trouble interms on financially better not to gamble at this moment since we don't know on when this pandemic end and it will affect us in long term if this will not be controlled or totally eliminated.

Gambling is more prefere for those who have intention to wasting their money, you just need at least 5% to win when you play gambling. So there is no choice for those people, they need side income and forgot gambling for a while.

I don't think they should focus on finding a side income right now since the government is finding a way to give their salaries to them or the 13th-month pay to them so they can rest easy in their houses. The problem here is those people that are unemployed and those people that are homeless. If gambling is your problem with this pandemic, you should consider yourself lucky.

If you are just relying on governments help then there's nothing gonna happen to you and imagine how big the numbers of family they needed to help and what if when your turn come and there's nothing left due to lack of supply? you will strive to hunger in that matters that's why you need to find a side job and if you are in big trouble interms on financially better not to gamble at this moment since we don't know on when this pandemic end and it will affect us in long term if this will not be controlled or totally eliminated.

Well, I am not but they are. What can someone possibly do in a place specifically a barracks for a side job? They can't even eat well, their only entertainment is themselves in there and they are stuck there for weeks. Without the early announcement of the government of releasing the 13th-month pay they should be starving in there by now, with that they can stay longer there. You may be sitting in your house comfortably right now but I know a lot of people that are stuck in a place where they have almost nothing but themselves. Their only source of food is their salary they are saving, a pit of water, luckily with fish in it and they are sharing it with others. Just imagine how bad it is if you will still sell those fish so you could just earn money there.

Sports betting has come to a complete halt now, because hardly any matches are going on due to the COVID 19 outbreak. I used to make bets in cricket, football and boxing, but for the last 2-3 weeks, almost all the matches have been either postponed or cancelled. And even worse, here in India the government has declared a 21-day lockdown and as a result we can't even get out of our houses now.
I think lockdown is practiced all over the world because if it is not prevented that way more and more people who are infected with falling deaths will increase this pandemic is scary especially since we have to stay at home for weeks.

Only casino and dice bets that I still run at this time even though gambling bets are a favorite but we can't do anything to do that so I will try gambling which is still running at this time the casino might be a challenge for us to implement the strategy.

Sports betting all over the world  are on hold now, the effect of COVID-19 is massive, the sports betting world can only wait what's going to happen while the world is racing to find a cure,unless this virus is contained or we find a cure for it, there will be no sports betting for now.

Cure is the first step so everything will be back to normal, making the vaccine will also take time so at least we can get some news saying that the vaccine was already been found and our government are on the process of reproducing the vaccine, but for now, we have not heard anything like this year.

So no option for now, stay at home and wait.

This virus has effected all sports around the world along with the sportsbooks however I can see something new come out of this and that is virtual sports that we can bet on. There are some virtual sports right now like horse racing, greyhound racing and cock fighting, I think this can open up the doors for more virtual sports which I think we'll start to see in the future. Just imagine seeing a virtual football game and being able to bet on it. 
I think virtual horse racing has been existing even before the covid19 comes out except the two.

In what casino specifically you're betting with those? I've seen the virtual horse racing before with a new site two years ago but AFAIK they've closed eventually.

Yes virtual horse racing has been around for many years as I used to bet on this at my local sportsbook. I'm not sure which online casinos have virtual sports however I did see one advertised on this forum but I can't seem to find the thread but I did see that they had cock fighting which was interesting. I also saw on YouTube that there is eNASCARD so it could be coming in the future.

I agree with you. Stay at home will be better because we can prevent the virus, and we can let the government do what is necessary. We wish that the vaccine can help all people who get infected, and they can prepare for the other infected people without taking too long to help them. The effect in the gambling world is people cannot go to the casino because all of the casinos were closed. After all, the government prohibits people from playing gambling in the casino.

This COVID-19 really affects the gambling world,  both online gambling and real life gambling. In real life gambling,  there are so many real life gambling that are now temporarily banned because of the virus,  as we all know casino gambling or real life gambling are commonly known as a crowded places and virus can spread easily especially if there is so many people near to each other. Social distancing should be obeyed so for it to be truth, banning casino is really important.

Online gambling becomes more important and being used as of this moment because of this virus, we are now staying at home and for us to kill time at home, we can spend it in online gambling if we want to play gamble, it is safer and convenient compared to real life gambling.

Everyone must follow WHO recommendations without fail. Mainly it is necessary to maintain a distance, this will reduce the number of infected to a very large extent.
 However, far from all countries, people adhere not only to recommendations but also do not comply with quarantine.

According to the WHO, it would take many months before a legit cure will be created. Yes there are some news that are spreading saying that there has been a cure. I also saw many news that a a medication called that hydroxycholoroquine that has been used in curing malaria is used right now and testing since they said that this can cure the virus too.

Even though we are hearing good news around the internet right now, the fight will be long so staying at home is now the best thing we can do to help our frontliners aside from giving foods for them and donations. The good news is this virus is controllable but faster to spread compare to other viruses and most of the deaths are those who has past records already of different illnesses.

If this is controllable, then there would be no more pandemic now, the cases has rise into exponential rate, this is a serious kind of disease and the longer the vaccine will not be available, more lives will be at risk, and we can see in the news now that everyday there are people dying.

Made or not, it's still a virus that could destroy our health and could kill us, we should follow what the government wants us to do, this is for our own good.
We are just disobedient now because of our principle but the moment we will get infected, who would take care of us, and it will be worse if we can also infect our family due to our negligence.

However this is not that situation, this is not that tinfoil hat that you need to consider, it is man made or not, it is mistake or not, it is bat eating or not, none of it matters, whats going to happen if it turns out that China made it to kill others? That doesn't change the fact that it DOES kill people. So everyone should stay at home right now and listen to their government, probably for the first time ever governments are actually right about this one.

They want to be free and not quarantined.
All people around the world think the same, no one wants to stay at home all day. But unfortunately, it is the only way to prevent the virus spread. We have no choice to admit this situation and hope that the government gets the solution very soon. I assume everybody can understand the situation.

We don't know the truth. Politicians can say that but what is the crucial thing here is we need to focus on helping people who already infected so they can get cured as soon as possible. Although until right now, the doctor has not found the right medicine, as long as the infected people can increase their immune, that can help them to survive and cured by itself. Many things or almost all things in real life has been effect by the Covid-19, but we don't need to give up because we still have more time to heal those people.

In poor countries where hospitalization is a very expensive thing, I'm sure there will be more people that will be taken by the virus.
Everyone will try to improve their immune system as good as they can but the risk is still high since this virus is not only targeting our body but our mental health also, when you see a lot of people especially in your country or within the city you live, you will also feel weak.

Is not every coinfected with Covid-19 will be responsible for the cost of treatment by the local government because as I know all countries are now almost implementing it, well even though it's a poor country they still have prepared what happened with this Covid-19.

Almost every city is paralyzed, of course we have to have immunity so as not to get infected with one of the events is the pattern so that it can increase immunity.

Even cities like the city of the dead rarely move, of course, this will load us weak again to indulge.

People are now in a lockdown, we cannot play in physical casinos, cannot interact with our gambler friends. Even though we cannot do this things, I think we can still play in many casinos in an online gambling site. We can do that thing and it is safe for everyon. But then the covid really affects our market, it really affects to the point that many people are panic selling , yes panic selling is normal but in stocks it really crashes . We are waiting for recessions and recovery of the market so that we can have a larger bet in the gambling site.

I think it's only for gambling that comes in direct contact with others so the impact will be infected by Covid-19 but if gambling online I think it's okay and won't affect gamblers all over the world except China. They will not think of playing gambling at this time they will only think of a way to hold their nose because Covid-19 continues to expand and become more violent so that they are extra secure enough not to think about anything.

But for some parts of the world there are still those who gamble in direct contact because it is not too severe in Covid-19 so they will be free to play in a safe friend from Covid-19.

Yes true that some countries are still free to play gambling in physical casinos because they are not affected by the virus but for the affected countries they don't have choice but to play online. Some of gamblers prefer physical casino than online because of the interactions, oral communication and the intense feeling when you are in the situation but because of the COVID-19 all physical casinos and other places are now temporary closed because the virus is still spreading and increasing the number of cases which will make gamblers to stay at home and decide if they gonna play online.

So, COVID-19 affect the gambling world in some ways but after the quarantine the casinos for sure will not be open for a day for cleaning and to disinfect the place. For the meantime, the gamblers last resort is to play online to prevent the virus from spreading. Staying at home really helps the country to heal faster.

The government response varied from country to country. For example, in countries such as India and Russia, they have enforced draconian lockdown measures. Those who venture out without a pass risks getting arrested and put behind bars. At the same time, in countries such as Belarus and Brazil, the administration has refused to act against the outbreak. In Belarus, even sports events are allowed to go ahead as planned earlier.

i like the measure done in india and Russia, that's the way to prevent people from going out, in our country, it's not that strict but sooner maybe they'll follow that measure as our number of cases is already growing with significant numbers, and sports here already already suspended, we are just under enhance quarantine measure.

If everyone stay at home for 14 days, then there will be no new infections. Because the Coronavirus can survive in the air for only a few hours. But the problem is that there are a lot of anti-socials out there, who believe that it is cool or macho to break the rules and put others at risk.

We can do that but with the support of our government, if they can provide everything that we need, then that strategy would be helpful.
this is the time also to see if the government we have is corrupt or not, because if not, they should not be having a difficulty in providing our needs on a timely manner.

All of this will fall on how our leader will manage the situation, that's why we choose a leader because we believe in him or his administration.

It's gone out of proportion, totally out of control, we really need a vaccine for this or a cure, because this virus is something we have not seen before because people can infect others without the carrier having this kind of symptoms, these people are called asymptomatic, and it's hard to trade who are the carriers and unless we can contain this, the gambling world cannot operate.

I think we got more than that as there are still waiting for their individual test results and on developing countries more likely slow to know as there are limited testing kits. Not just on gambling world but almost all sectors are affected by this pandemic.

The sad news vaccine make take months or even a year even on the speedy process but I'm always praying it will take a shorter time than expected. I'd rather have no gambling life at all instead rather have this virus still at large worldwide. Those asymptomatic are the more threatening at all since they might not know they are spreading the virus unconsciously.

I have said this before. Don't pin your hopes on the vaccine. This type of virus mutates very quickly and even if someone makes a vaccine, that may not be 100% effective. And at this point, the Coronavirus has reached almost every nook and corner of the world. With such a wide spread, it is just a matter if time before the virus mutates. We'll be having several strains of the virus to deal with and the vaccine will work only against one strain.

There are actually 1,091,047 cases already and there's no PUM or PUI included so undoubtedly, it's chaos. There are several companies that are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic virus, including gambling casinos and other establishments that have temporarily closed down. We can imagine that some of the company has already been bankrupt because we are lockdown for so many months, it is like beginning from scratch again.
The sad news vaccine make take months or even a year even on the speedy process but I'm always praying it will take a shorter time than expected.

Okay, so we shouldn't rely on vaccinations but take your own precautions to prevent COVID-19 on yourself and your children. Don't ignore the government's order to fight back against this virus. This is a pandemic, which clearly means it is a large virus that can quickly spread across the globe.

But I guess, having a vaccine would at least give you a good fight to this virus. It may not be 100% effective but it may lessen the effect of the virus in your immune system. Taking precautions is not sufficient as you might have contact with other infected persons without symptoms without you knowing. So I guess, having vaccine would put you in a better position rather than not having it.

If everyone stay at home for 14 days, then there will be no new infections. Because the Coronavirus can survive in the air for only a few hours. But the problem is that there are a lot of anti-socials out there, who believe that it is cool or macho to break the rules and put others at risk. Also, there are some teenage idiots, who think that Coronavirus infect only the elderly people.
Yes, but I don't think that it is cool or macho because it is related to our health. If we don't want to get infected, then we need to obey the rule and stay at homes while we can help paramedics to work to cure the patient. As long as we can consume healthy food and fruit to increase the immune, we will not get infected because I heard that the virus would not spread into our body if we have a good immune to protect our health.

--
We can do that but with the support of our government, if they can provide everything that we need, then that strategy would be helpful.
this is the time also to see if the government we have is corrupt or not, because if not, they should not be having a difficulty in providing our needs on a timely manner.
Some people in the government still think about themselves and not about their people. But I believe that some others are still thinking about people and will try as much as they can to help people. One good thing will spread to many people, especially if people can use their hearts ;)

--
All of this will fall on how our leader will manage the situation, that's why we choose a leader because we believe in him or his administration.
We can do our little contribution but it's still better if the rules will be strict so violators will be reduce.
The rules can be change depend on the situations, and I think the government already thinks about them. As long as we can take care of ourselves and our family, we can still be safe, and we can pass this situation with good with the other people.

The problem here is that the virus here is much more contagious than any other outbreak that we had to deal with in the past. As I said before, if everyone follows what the authorities say, then this problem can be contained in less than one month. But that is not the case. The situation here in India is horrible. We had people who were home quarantined roaming around and spreading the disease. And then there were passengers from Italy and Spain, who were hiding their travel history.

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.
It's happening right now, no gambling casinos and hotels are open there were not times that they are closed for decades only now, this is a huge impact on all casinos all over the world, what they've lose is online gambling casinos gain, we expect more gamblers turning to online gambling now, while they are lockdown to their homes.

We don't know though if these casino gamblers are really gambling.

I am already gambling online before the quarantine happens before the casinos are closed. I am also gambling in some casino but right now I am not really into online gambling. I can do some bets but after that, I will be tired of it and find other things to do. I guess it will not mean that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be used in these times, people are still waiting for the quarantine lift to gamble.

How I wish that all of the people around the world can stay at their home for 14 days :D.

Different people have different reasons why they go out. Some are buying their needs because there are no nearby stores in their houses. Some needs to work even though their is a lockdown (these are the nurses, pharmacist and those who are working in supermarkets) and most of the people are going out because they want to do it :D. They don't care about what can happen to them as long as they can go out for absolutely no reasons.

There is a famous quote "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than ignorance and conscientious stupidity". Ignorance and stupidity will kill them and we can't do anything about it. They choose their pleasure over their life.

This is true. With the uncertainty surrounding our environment, if you are a gambler, you will prefer to play online rather than risk yourself from the virus. This is the advantage of online gambling sites. No physical interaction with the players.

And with this epidemic, macau casinos were losing millions of dollars everyday when they shut down last month.


https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/02/07/casino-operator-wynn-resorts-is-losing-up-to-26-million-per-day-from-coronavirus-shutdown/#850ce5138edb

https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-02-10/macao-casinos-shutdown

Though they are re-opening, I don't think many gamblers will go to the casino because the risk of getting infected is still high. The cure is not yet in full blast though there are already promising vaccines being developed.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-17/macau-casinos-allowed-to-reopen-thursday-after-virus-shutdown

This situation will add from the long list of advantages of playing online.

It is true that casino and other gambling requires more physical contact to enjoy the game. But since we have a case of pandemic, there are online gambling that are made for the compulsive gamblers. In this case, it will have less physical contact and of course the ambiance and the presence of the game will be gone. But it will be safer for now to play in online gambling.

Yes, what you're saying is right. I agree that but at least we can try to get immunity from consuming healthy food and live healthy so the virus cannot break into our body. By staying at home can help us to prevent the spreading of the virus, and I think every people in every country can do that. We help ourselves, the doctor help the patient, and we can reduce the infected people by the virus. We also forced by nature to live healthy by this virus because if we see in the big cities and growing cities, healthy lives do not become the main thing.

In general, you are right.
But there is one factor, a lot of people after leaving the 14-day quarantine will be left without a livelihood.
They are literally forced to go to work. But those who violate quarantine without special need should be punished in the form of large fines.

   And what all of that has with gambling with crypto-currencies? You gone of topic here, a lot of people. You are focusing on people and what
they do, ground based casinos, which are now closed, about imunity and consuming healthy food? Gambling with crypto-currencies means that
you are home, you don't have direct contact with others, and that is like that, before corona, now while corona is here and after corona.
   Ground based casinos are closed in my country, and in many others. While nobody can shut down Blockchain based casinos, think about that.
Think about how safe we are because we are home and we do what we like!

Not only traditional casinos on this issue at least all places that can be a crowd or a crowd of people should at least be eliminated even though there are still some who get an exception but with a rule. So, as long as this problem or the case of this pandemic continues to increase, as much as possible for us to do anything at home, because if we can isolate independently of course it is an effort for us to break the spread of the virus that is increasingly troubling. Well, with the digital world at least any activity that can be done in virtual form or like online gambling will be a choice we have to do in this situation.

there's also the fact that casinos are always close spaces with air conditioning so these are the worst in terms of contagious possibility.

of course online gambling is not the same as offline but this will have to do until the pandemic is gone or we find a vaccine.

A good alternative indeed as this pandemic virus still continue to spread out, the option is to stay at home to have lesser chances of being infected.

With the help of online casinos people who loves to continue playing are still capable to deal with this activities, much safer and also with convenient
playing inside your house.

I am sure many people will isolate themselves at home while playing online gambling (casino) because it will eliminate the boredom that must be at home every day to avoid the spread of covid-19 and online gambling will be the best choice where many people will play it even though it's boring for me it will be done every day: D.
To be honest, I don't like playing offline games like others say, but I just want to look for luck in online gambling, especially casino, which makes my grip strong and confident in my gambling game.

Everyone thinks that there is a rush towards online gambling and the casinos we have in crypto world is making too much money but you are mistaken. Sure there could be some increases in some casinos, but in general think about the sportsbooks for example, what will nitrogen, betcoin, sportsbet and the likes can do? They are known as sportsbooks and their sports are now postponed or cancelled so they can't give people the option to play anymore, so they are moving towards other games in order to keep people but many of them leave.

So, basically online dice websites might be getting more people but there are still plenty of crypto gambling places that lost customers as well. Plus even the casino ones might have less wagered because people are using that money to buy groceries these days.

You are absolutely right. A very large part of crypto online gambling is based on bets.
Only casinos and similar platforms where the user has to play against the casino can win. I do not take into account some types of poker.

In my opinion all Gambling services are hit by the crisis, no matter if its a regular casino, the lottery or a online gambling website. Especially the local casinos are facing a hard time sinces they were forced to close in almost every country. Since most sport events are postponed or canceled bookies online and offline also face a hard time. On the other hand niches like Online-Poker, Online-Roulette or Online-Dices games might have more players right now. I am currently betting a lot on e-sports, which is also great fun!

More than anything, the gambling activity will be in a good state only of the economy fares well. And look at the stock markets now. The Dow Jones has lost more than 40% of its value, with the other markets also losing similar amounts. Millions of people have become jobless across the globe and on top of that many companies are going bankrupt. All this will have an impact on the casinos, both online and offline.

Well, as for me I spend a lot of time on gambling sites like fairspin.io (https://fairspin.io) and fortunately, the pandemic almost doesn't have any impact on this sphere. I believe that all this situation will solve soon and we all will watch terrific matches and win nice money on our bets. Guys, we should stay at home in the near future and al will stabilize, as I think.

Slowly the sports organization was able to adjust, and casinos are also open already, slowly the world is getting back to its normal despite the threat of the corona virus. At the early stage, it was the online casinos who are the only option to gamble, but now we have physical casinos that are already open and soon expect that the vaccine will be release to make things back to normal.

Every day we need the economy to continue running because it becomes our life with this pandemic, there must be a way where we can produce it, especially in online gambling, maybe many have switched to casinos, they even call this very fair, it is not impossible that they will continue to invite lots of friends to playing there one lobby that's what a lot of the gambling industry is doing now is booming now a lot of people are home and doing this.

It is not actually they don't feel the challenge of covid-19,

They just have the best solution in times like this. Instead of panicking and questioning the decision of their government, the people on the said country have followed the guidelines and rules of the government to avoid this covid-19 to increase the numbers of affected in their country. They just solved the problem or we can easily say that they are prepared in times like this unlike in other countries.

It is certain that Covid-19 really hit the gambling industry, in fact, even other businesses. Everyone tends to shut down for a time being while others trying to adapt to the current situation we have, that is why online business and such became a thing especially the gambling industry. Since physical interaction is prohibited, people are trying to find a way to gamble and the digital one is perfect for this one. However, now that there are few vaccines are now being announced everything is slowly getting back to normal, and eventually, physical gambling will be now available.

Though the covid-19 and it's effect like lockdowns and social distancing have a negative impact on the physical casino but they have became a boom for online ones. The attractiveness of physical casinos were already struggling and this would just catalyze their downturn. Most of the younger generation would prefer crypto and online gambling as there are none or very few strings attached while physical casinos are too social and awkward.

Though the covid-19 and it's effect like lockdowns and social distancing have a negative impact on the physical casino but they have became a boom for online ones.

Negative impact is given, but to say "to boom the online", Online casinos are popular as the physical ones way before the pandemic strikes.
Though, some of this casinos are now operational again but yeah, We can say that it will be a struggle at first given that they must operate under the given protocols by it's Government.
But, It's still impossible for this casinos to shutdown.


The attractiveness of physical casinos were already struggling and this would just catalyze their downturn. Most of the younger generation would prefer crypto and online gambling as there are none or very few strings attached while physical casinos are too social and awkward.

Again, it's struggling due pandemic but let us remember that this won't last for lifetime (especially that the vaccine is almost out).

"Younger Generation" - I disagree on this, given the fact that there are a lot of companies laid off there employees due to the pandemic. Would you think that most of this younger generation have the capacity to gamble? (Maybe, let's give an exemption for those who were born with enough money cash from there parents  ;D)

And lastly, Physical casinos (based on what I observed, as I normally visited a local casino where I usually held a meeting) They are implementing strict social distancing protocol, and less awkward. Why, Less awkward? The fact that there are limited players around, most likely it would be a meter a part from one another. Tbh, It's quite fun and still exciting. (But, A gentle reminder just be cautious whenever you visit one)

Measures to be taken for physical casinos during the pandemic period are limited. We have a high risk of getting sick in the environments we are in contact with. Virtual gambling makes sense in every respect.

there are negative and positive impacts. for in the world of gambling or offline casinos maybe it has a bad impact because people should not gather in a crowded crowd, plus online casinos, get visitors that have increased very rapidly.
I know the effects felt by some offline players will not be felt online, but at least that is what they can do for now until they really recover.

Businesses are coming back but through the new normal. But for those countries like New Zealand and Taiwan, there's nothing have changed. They've been back in their normal lives or at least they didn't tackled much with covid19.

These are few countries that you have mentioned that didn't feel much challenge with covid-19 and also some African countries didn't fall much in the pandemic but apart from that, it was a very big issue to most countries and they are just coming back from it, trying to rebuild their losses.
They are good and putting precautions very early.

Yes, I forgot African countries that dealt with covid19 easily. Experts say that it's because of the weather but IIRC, it's that they have some herb that are naturally helping the people's body to fight covid19.

It would really be having pro's and con's with this pandemic and mostly been affected is to those business that do always generate crowd which its understandable that it isnt really allowed at the moment due to pandemic situation.In result, people do switch up online and this is where advantage can be seen but when this situation do normalize then we would able to see the balance once again.

For now then we have to deal on the current situation we are in.To think that this isnt affecting only the gambling industry but also with other industries as well.

All had been affected when it comes to revenue and the worst, lots had already closed its doors due for them not to be feasible or sustainable into their business.
