Let me just add you that the resurgence of online casinos might be due to the pandemic. Everyone is at home and those gamblers wanted to continue so they go online and play and that's why the sudden downturn as far as numbers of gamblers going to traditional land base casinos.

But as we go back to normal, casinos are going back live now, I'm going to land base casino's at the start of the year and the last time I check, the numbers seem to be back. It's just a matter of preference now, whether gamblers who play online will go back to their favorite land base casinos because of the ambience, or play at the comfort of their home.

I do not know about gambling on smartwatch for now, I will like to know more about this.

The rise of crypto gambling is because of the ease of payment and low transaction fee unlike fiat payment that requires higher fee and may not be convenient to access for some people and some governments are harsh to their citizens when it comes to gambling. The gamblers in restricted locations can still play is one of the advantages as you mentioned already.

Its not really surprising on this one especially when crypto was such a huge trend for months ago so alot of gambling sites have to integrate crypto as one of the deposit/withdrawal option onto their site


Shutting down customers just because they are using VPN to access the site from a restricted locations sounds bad from business POV so yeah some sites choose to brush this down the rug and pretend they dont know a thing about it. Most people are bound to lose anyway so there isnt any reason to chase those players away because they are breaking the TOS

of all the points you've mentioned, I consider this the best trend and will continue to be the trend for many years to come,


It has everything that gamblers need and wants, it's tailor-fit for gamblers who want to have anonymity and untraceable sessions, something that you can not find in fiat-based casinos, that is why Crypto casino is a growing industry and contributed a lot to Cryptocurrency adoption.

New technology and trends already happening for a long time now. Since then, the number of people doing online gambling increased year by year.

It's just that when the pandemic happened, obviously, the number grows as no one can access the physical casinos during that time and it lasted for year/s.

But as the world is slowly healing and recovering from the pandemic, we should see again the number of people visiting physical casinos will be back to normal, and those people who just gambled during the pandemic might return again to being a non-gambler or occasionally gambling since we are now back to the usual normal.

Its always been the trend ever since the gambling industry adopted Cryptocurrency, some people believe that Cryptocurrency was also created for gambling because of the anonymity and decentralization, gambling operators are not thinking of setting up a gambling casinos but they are also thinking of how their casino will fit in the Cryptocurrency industry, because its where the market is and this has become the new multi-billion dollar industry if you're a gambler or a gambling operator and you're not here in Cryptocasino industry you're not part of the gambling community.

Seems to be spot on, and obviously, we've seen a lot of online platform started to pop up in our community in the last 2 years and this is not the trend.

As far as smart watch? nah, I don't feel the experience of it. Maybe playing slots in a smart phone might be better. Or using our desktop to do sports betting and other games. And it's going to be a big business, lots of slots operators are going to compete as well giving us a good user experience playing online.

The height of this trend happened during the pandemic when gamblers who frequented land-based casinos had to find a way to release their gambling anxieties and they stumble these cryptocurrency-based casinos, not only a better alternative but the one that suits their needs, they can play at the comfort of their room on their pajamas any time of the day or night, don't need to dress up and don't need long hours of transport.
Their identity is also hidden in land-based casinos people will judge you if they see you walking in Casinos even if you're not playing and just want to be a spectator.

The article does not refer to any source, only a link of "restricted countries"...
In any case there is nothing new there, since the beginning of the Internet it is the easiest barrier to jump.

I think sometimes a neutral source is objective on the subject, anyway  we should be thinking about the trend of 2023.

I think so online casinos with live games are undoubtedly the fastest growing niche and the very simple reason;  many casinos <= the same provider, this skin system is the opening for the growth of online casinos, just a nice Ux, so the best casino, so which the difference? always new promotions, rakeback, frequent player promotions, good customer service, bonuses, VIP service, etc.

Ah, virtual games blah blah, I played VR Poker years ago, when this topic was "taboo"... I think I prefer it in a live online casino against a dealer.  :)

Since the gambling business implemented crypto, the gambling business increased drastically and made the popularity of crypto casinos a new trend in gambling. People who used to play using fiat are switching to using crypto because it can protect their identity. Along with technological developments, crypto casinos are also keeping up with the times by integrating various gambling games into them. The habits of people gambling are also starting to change. They already used to gamble at home using computers; many of them gamble using their cellphones and use casino sites that do not require KYC. Casino sites are also starting to learn about Virtual Reality, where gamblers will only use special glasses that can bring them a new experience in gambling. Technology is evolving, and so are all businesses.

Dice was the big thing forever. Seems every new site the popped up had dice. Now days what you see is slots. All the casinos offer basically the same slots. It's really quite boring.

It's all because of the pandemic that hit many countries, which made real world casinos closed to the public while online casinos started to grow and provide a different experience for gamblers. Those who are used to gambling in real casinos find a marked difference between real casinos and online casinos and in the end, many turn to online casinos. Especially when online casinos introduce crypto, increasing the popularity of online casinos and making many gamblers love crypto as a tool for betting.

We love what an online casinos can offer and indeed they are making a lot of improvements in this industry. And they took advantage of the pandemic, pushing for more games, more tables, and the our favorite, slot games. So the statistics might be true to some degree, but with big land base casinos opening this half of the year, this numbers might change at the end of the year. Because gamblers might be longing for the traditional casinos with live music, the sound of a bonus in a slot machines and then the interaction with people you know.

It is especially true the evolution of the slot games.The new slots that are being launched in 2022 has that feel that makes you like you will win and it takes the money from you without you feeling that the money is moving away from you.They are much different than let say slots of the past years which you can immediately spot the trend there,they don't keep you playing for long when they want to get your money they do it fast.In these new slots the algorithm has improved a lot and the AI plays a big part on how a slot should behave by seeing what the gambler is doing,how much money he is playing,what are his bet patterns and other things like these.Also the big wins here are bigger.

All other stated facts are already known before.

Due to covid arising and adaptation of the people into the cryptocurrency they make a good outcome with the online crypto gambling which is more convenient and less hasle to make a deposit and withdrawal it does not require a tons of verification just to play and also you can now make a game in anywhere this is one of the trend now also we can add the NFT and with the web3.

Currently, cryptocurrencies are becoming more and more popular among various categories of the population. 

Therefore, I am not surprised by the fact that deposits in online casinos are increasingly replenished not with fiat currencies (US dollar, euro, pound sterling, Japanese yen), but with cryptocurrencies. 

Currently, settlements with the help of credit organizations are becoming less and less convenient.  Cases have become more frequent when banks freeze funds on the accounts of individual clients with the requirement to provide explanations about the nature of a particular financial transaction. 

Therefore, it is easier to interact with an online casino not through a bank, but with the help of Electrum or MetaMask cryptocurrency wallets.

Gambling on smart watches was really news to me, I haven't tried it but it's totally obvious on what setting it is. I guess virtual reality games has the scope in it involving NFT or the Metaverse, it's more of the hot trend not by now but on the coming years too.

I have a doubt that crypto is actually dominating the gambling circles otherwise proven by statistics.  I bet crypto-casinos only cover a few percentages of online casinos.  This is an overstatement and I think it will take time before Crypto dominates the gambling circles.

This is the beauty of online gambling, it has no boundaries unless restricted by the Casino's TOS

[1] Online Casino Trends to Come Out in 2022 (https://scholarlyoa.com/online-casino-trends/#:~:text=Mobile%20betting%20has%20significantly%20impacted,share%20of%20all%20online%20gaming.)
[2] Trends Transforming The Gambling And Casino Industry In 2022 (https://linchpinseo.com/trends-in-the-gambling-casino-industry/)

If I understand correctly, then gambling on a smartwatchs is no different from gambling on smartphones or a computer? If yes, then I do not quite understand what the new trend is here.


I think the author of the article did not notice another trend - the expansion of the KYC. Now it is more and more difficult to find casinos without KYC, online casinos are becoming more controlled and regulated.

With covid came the need for online activities and the gambling industry has witnessed high patronage this period with new casinos popping up now and then, most of them are already doing well in terms of customer service and gaining trust from the community.

Physical casinos are witnessing low patronage a this is as a result of the pandemic and seat-at-home order, we are going to see more of these trends as time goes on.

Virtual reality games online casino this is a new and will probably increase in the next year. Smart watches are not used much for gambling, not a trend either, maybe yes by some but not worth it for playing casino or slots in general because of the mini display. There's news of metaverse smartwatches but they tend to capture a moment like a Photo or Video, and that too is still being planned. This online casino trend is very true due to Covid, many land casinos have switched to live casinos but currently VR is still being developed.

It's more like Ben10 gambling with his watch, 😂 LOL. Yes it's the same like gambling on our phone and it's not like a trend, smart watch could be a trend but with the advancement of having a browser on a watch to gamble was likely dope. I think gambling on smart watch with a holographic theme would be more fun and excited to do, maybe in the future.

The casino online industry is in very growing phase. More person are able to access on internet, and this advantage them; so, in the next years I see that the industry will continue to grow and will substitute the local

gambling (maybe only the big casinò will stay open, but the other one should transfer in virtual mode)

Web 3 gaming is the new trend of the moment with the metaverse and the NFT has given birth to a whole lot of new development that has advanced the gambling industry, even with the increase in the number of online casinos users a lot of players are anticipating more from the developing new trend that has resulted into the introduction of new casino platforms with unique features and excellent services. Blackjack and new crash games have been at the four front of this new trend.

It is true. It is because of the pandemic that forced gamblers to gamble in an online casino or sportsbooks where traditional casinos are not allowed to have many people inside instead they limit the person who can enter when it is open to public. I also choose online since I don't like to travel back and forth when I want to gamble since it's the same as online where I only wanted to have fun or waste my free time until I have something else to do.

Of all the industries within the Cryptocurrency industry, the gambling industry is probably one of the industries that helped the adoption of Cryptocurrency, there are hundreds of casinos many more coming in, and we may have thousands of Cryptocurrency based casinos in the future if the trend continues, whatever new trend in the Cryptocurrency like NFT, and Casino based token and WEB 2.0 the Crypto gambling industry can easily adopt because their community is also investors of Cryptocurrency.

I don't know how a particular game from a specific platform stands forefront against other games available on different gambling sites. The reason for the increasing usage of cryptocurrency accepted gambling platforms were due to the pandemic, next thing is the play to earn tokens, next is the hype on different games. In specific during the pandemic there isn't much of sports/matches around and this has made the sport betting people towards online casinos. Now majority of the gamblers are used to it than moving to the real casinos.

I will like to know the smartwatch that can do this, all I know is that smartwatch can be used for notification and not gambling, but it will be good if a smartwatch is able to place bet, but you are not wrong, it is not that different from using mobile phones as portable as phones are and easy to carry about.

That is true but some people are still enjoying no kyc or lenient kyc policy gambling sites, there are some of them on this forum but the more they become common as they are having customers and getting recognized by the government, the more the kyc rules become harder.

Gambling Online actually dominated the gambling world starting when the pandemic covered the world, even those regular casino players leaves  no choice but to gamble online and which brings them advantage playing using crypto than Fiat because of the possibilities that their coin used for gambling may increase its value .
they are playing gambling while investing at the same time in which for me really an advantage.
and also safer and accessible at any chances .
so indeed the whole article tells us what is going on now.

People from the countries where gambling is restricted are not allowed to play on the most of the cryptocurrency gambling sites as well, if you take a look at the TOS of any gambling site you will see players from which countries are not allowed to register and some people are allowed to play specific games only depends on the regulations of particular country so that is the one misleading point in the article.

Not just that, crypto has bridged so many difficulties in funding online casinos and the fact that most of them don't require KYC makes it easy for players to move around funds without any problems. You can swiftly deposit BTC, LTC, ETH and other popular coins to any Casino without first converting them to Fiat and the same goes for withdrawals without converting from Fiat to Cryptos.
Physical Bookmakers are almost back to normal activities and I also think that most countries have removed restrictions on the movement just that the above merits are winning over them.

Smartphones have become widespread since 2011 (that is, since the beginning of the last decade). 

Prior to this, people used stationary computers and laptops.  There were also communicators, but it was a niche product for geeks.  Communicators (unlike smartphones) were practically not used for entertainment.  Communicators were used to solve business problems and time management.  The mass adoption of smartphones has revolutionized online entertainment (including gambling).  Smartphones allow you to be in the virtual space 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. 

What devices can replace smartphones in the field of online entertainment?  Smart watch?  Virtual reality glasses?  Something other? 

I don't know the answer to this question .... 

Perhaps it will really be devices worn on the hand, like a watch, and capable of creating holographic projections. 

I'm waiting for such devices!

All sites have the same set of slots, probably because they do not develop them themselves, but use the services of slot providers? And each site cooperates with all the top slot providers, so the set of games can really be said to be the same. But I don’t know how much time (and money) it takes to play each slot and get tired of all of them, there are too many of them to even remember each one.

Trending downwards? Isn't it just common that land-based casinos become not usable in the meantime because of the pandemic? Count for several years before we can say that land-based casinos are not that pleasing to anybody anymore. Most of the land-based casinos just become fully operational about a year now and others are just slowly starting again.

Let them catch up first. We can't conclude that as a trend for 2022. We are just half of the year before concluding anything.

Online casinos had starting on opening up their doors once again considering that pandemic had started to go down or almost gone which we know that there would be still people or gamblers who would really be

much prefer on playing on offline casinos thats  why i dont really see for some downtrend or becoming unpopular but cant really be denied that people can really play online without the need on going
into these physical places.

Lets just think about co-existence and do serve out different market for different sets of people/'gamblers.

I think we are not talking about the graphical interface of the slots, which only brings visual diversity and that it is very rare to find a truly memorable slot, for example having a bonus system that is radically different from what we are used to seeing in other slots. They all look alike, that's why they get bored quickly, even if you move to a new gambling site.

Yes, I use several crypto bookmakers for betting and I did not go through the KYC because the bet sizes are small and the turnover too.
But I understand that with an increase in the size of bets to a certain size, KYC will be inevitable, and if you look into the future, it will be almost everywhere. This is a sad trend and only the emergence of decentralized casinos can change it.

This makes me wonder how the technology will develop whether it will be an option because smartwatches only provide a small display screen, I doubt players will be comfortable when playing with a very small screen, but maybe it will be different if the latest smartwatch technology appears with an adjustable screen. Trying to find the article you mentioned but unfortunately it doesn't include a gambling platform that has or is currently developing this. Maybe can adopted in sportsbetting but not on others type gambling.

Not all but most sites have the same slot games but still, there are a couple of sites that have their own exclusive slots which are usually overshadowed by the thousands of slot games they offer. Playing a slot game can last from a few minutes to several hours depending on your luck but IMO it's easy to remember the games or at least recall a word or two of the title you're playing since some games have similar titles and gameplay.

Many people are prefer to play in online gambling that using crypto since it's more easier and convenient, also they thought using crypto is much safer rather than linking your bank accounts directly into the casino.

Gamblers in restricted locations can't play since it's against their rules, it's just an abusers who using VPN and make them can play in those casino. However there's a casino who doesn't have license and free KYC, any gamblers from everywhere are allowed to play.

Online casino is more easier to improve and change anything that based on gamblers suggestion, unlike in real life casino they need to pay many workers to make a change.

Usually, if we have started playing slots and like them, we will not move to other slot games. But some gamblers will switch to other slot games to try to experience other fun. Some also choose other slot games because they think their luck will come to other games. Sometimes if we play one slot game at one casino, the results will be different if we play at another casino with the same slot game because it will depend on our luck.

There's also the factor of the house edge as some casinos offer the same games but set a different house edge % or lower payout on their slot games.

I remember this used to be the case in some casinos back then but after some time they'd change the terms and introduce geo-restrictions to certain countries.

Of all the trends listed above, this one really caught my attention and I wonder if this is already happening on some smartwatches?
I can barely type a message on my smart watch and what more to gamble using this? I know technology is growing so fast but I think we are still far from this or maybe those watches can just be an extra screen aside from your smart phone, nevertheless the trends every year are getting more crazy we should really expect the unexpected.

It's been this way for the past 5 years and it will continue to be so for many years to come I don't see a reversal of the trend gamblers find a home in the Cryptocurrency based casino
This is a game-changer for many gamblers


They want anonymity and privacy only Cryptocurrency based casinos can provide that

That's because of the COVID pandemic it changes gambling habit


Casino-based tokens and NFT are currently the trending topics in the gambling industry next year there will be more coming, the gambling industry is a work in progress.

Me too, I can't imagine how does this thing works. Smart watches that I know ,doesn't have enough screen size that casino games can be read so easily I mean we can see some top brands and their smart watches right? If this thing will be done how can it be? maybe it will be connected to smart eye glasses as well? I am really impress to our modern technology , I hope security can be improve together with this innovations.[/list]

Nice article and mentioned about nice trends but I am not aware that some of them exist like the gambling on a smartwatch but maybe it was still new? And not all sites including this forum talks about this but you are here already that shares this information so thanks. That would be awesome if we can gamble while on the move but can this mean more losses for us? Hhmm. If there is one thing that is not in the list that would be the introduction of nft's in the gambling scene.

A couple of gambling sites have already started this. On the part where gambler can play on restricted areas, are they using a vpn? Or it means that gambling is now not restricted on them? That would be nice then.

Let's have a bigger smart watch then  ;D

https://i.imgur.com/r3ul8Nk.png (https://www.google.com/search?q=smartphone+on+wrist&tbm=isch&hl=en&chips=q:smartphone+wrist,g_1:strap:JbmE_Jij6b4%3D&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjHqP3Fkaj4AhVRFYgKHVQJD8MQ4lYoAXoECAEQIA&biw=1903&bih=880)



I am not convinced that online gambling is dominated by cryptocurrency.


KYC is a game-changer of the game-changer.  With it, you can be blocked because the casino will know where you are playing from.  and actually, it isn't the crypto that bypasses the restriction, it is the VPN.


Not until you processed your KYC or the Casino requires its player to do KYC.

The rise of crypto gambling is mainly due to their instant payments system. Here any one can deposit and withdraw without any hesitation. Many people feel comfortable joining here as the payment method is crypto. Another thing is that you do not need any document to take payment in crypto. You can easily get payment from any where of the world without any direct obligation. I think crypto gambling has emerged because of the simplicity of this aspect.

This is true. But this also has its own explanation - it is quite difficult to come up with something new in a field that has existed for decades and has simple mechanics at its core. Whatever slot you come up with, you need to implement: the player must give a certain percentage of his funds to the casino, in the process the player must sometimes win and sometimes lose. This is a rather narrow field of possibilities.

Agree. That's what makes gamblers stay in one casino because they feel the offers from that casino are better than others. The gamblers will choose the casino that will give them more benefits. And that is why many gamblers can not hold themselves to leave the casino because they see many offers that give them more benefits. The more exciting offers, the more they will stay at that casino.

actually it is not only the offers but also the behavior and the legitimacy of casino , remember that scam sites promised more than anything could ever give just to lure and victimized players.
so lets not be blinded by promises but instead? the quality of team and site that will bring us to our better activities in gambling here in crypto world.

I think the person who does that depends on the person doing the gambling because when the gambler has found the right gap to be able to get a lot of profit from gambling, of course he will still be at the gambling place, but I'm sure gamblers will still try other gambling places until he can determine which is the best and can provide a lot of profit.

the trend of online gambling, especially slots, has been going on for several years, we can't see its peak yet because until now more and more new sites have sprung up.  this is based on the enthusiasm of the online community.  regardless of good and bad everything will always have pros and cons.  I really agree with the points you mentioned, conventional gambling is currently very reduced and this is due to the rapid advancement of technology and the digital era.  this is legal, there is nothing wrong with that, every player must be very aware of every risk that will occur if you are too looking for big profits when playing.  So, play as fun to fill your spare time after being busy with work without disturbing your finances or work.

The article is very interesting, certainly there are many games that are the favorites for most people, one of them is poker and especially when it comes to online tournaments, obviously PVP is the most sought after by people who are lovers of the game, here I include myself, also others that are very common and quite sought after are those that have to do with slots, which, according to the casinos that I have been frequenting, the best currency deals are found in stake.com and in bitcasino. io, there are other casino options that are emerging, but what is striking about these casinos is that they include new games every week and this makes all the difference.

The drop for land based casinos did in fruition started at the start of the pandemic, it had made people to stay at homes while the online casinos continued to operate.

As a matter of fact, there's a news again in Macau that there's a spike of covid-19 cases and that can result in another implementation of lock down in some of their streets and likely gambling houses.

I'm waiting for one more thing in these physical casinos that will be a big trend for sure, acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

Now as the Covid has brought the whole world online there are new trends and techniques - people have learned the online gambling and that is how many people who live in the areas where gambling is ban are enjoying gambling and are menting money. There are pros and cons. Ofcourse!

It became like a pastime because we're all at our homes.

But it's now up to those who have discovered crypto gambling to leave it or not. Because it seems that there are many of those who have tried it became addicted to it or hooked into it.

The side effects are there and they have to take accountability for their own actions just like us. We know who we are and what will be our reactions as we gamble and those that gambled so much ended up addicted.

We can't really basically say that land-based casinos are heading toward a downward trend.

The reason is obvious why it turned out like that from 2020 until slowly catching up their phase to this point. If the same status is still the status after more years or to the point that we can say that pandemic is over, that's the time we can just consider that land-based casinos are now declining its number of their customers.

About that news in Macau, there might be an implementation of lockdown but gambling establishments there are most likely to remain open as the gambling industry is the primary source of revenue there by the government.

Gamble on the amount which you can afford to lose which is the main rule when you do gamble or even on investments too where you cant really just make out some reckless decisions because you would really affecting in overall.

Speaking of casino trends then it would be continuous and we might see something new which we havent seen on this market before but as far as we can see it is really just the same.The numbers of houses or platforms
is increasing yet the demand is increasing too.

Addiction is a common problem but also the thing that fuels out for this business to be profitable.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong to gamble on the amount beyond anyone's limit or afford to lose as long as these people know what they are dealing with and the possible consequences that they might face later on. I don't really have that kind of mindset as that will just ruin my focus. My main goal is how to increase my chances of winning no matter what. I'm talking about betting on sports betting in which we are not just relying on luck to win.

Anyways, this statement of mind is not applicable if a person is playing luck-based gambling games. Here, gambling with the amount they afford to lose should be applied no matter what as in gambling, we should not just rely on luck to win.

It looks like an NFT-based casino is another trend this year 2022.  Casinos are now implementing NFTs in their game.  The recent one is from El Salvador when it launches it first NFT-based Casino.



Land-based casinos will always be popular.  People need a place to socialize and the best place where people can meet up and enjoy is in a Land-based Casino since it composes of entertainment, free drinks, and free snacks plus the chance to win big.

The online casinos increased during the time of pandemic. Just as a way to keep the gamblers active this got into usage and now people are much used to it, rather than getting into land based real casinos. As said for people who have been used to playing on land based casinos will never experience the enjoyment on online casinos, even when it gives access for the same through streaming and other features.

Agree with you. Land-based casinos will always be patronized by most people. It's just that pandemic is still in effect. But time will come that everything will be fine and the loud physical casinos will now start again to back on its usual environment. It's impossible for me to think that land-based casinos will be downtrend as that is already a part of society. It will never fail nor crash as many people will still gamble on that place as part of their entertainment.

Maybe 2-3 years from now when pandemic is now controllable, we can now see again a loud environment in land-based casinos.

NFT isnt really a new phenomena if we consider trading digital items has been around a decade and the ability to bet those digital items was a thing so popular 8 years ago it was blocked to stop its success.  Later it was imitated and now we have the current iteration which is more of a decentralized approach perhaps to avoid that constant drag of paperwork and resistance by varied nations across the world.  Anything that can create a common interest across the world will be big but its not a given that all obstacles are overcome easily, I dont know if NFT is that as my general belief is accessibility by all not just elite traders etc.

Nah, it's definitely not really going on a downward trend, it's just that online gambling were becoming a thing because of health protocol and restrictions that physical casinos were limiting the number of clients inside the premises.
But as the pandemic slowly died down and people have now less restrictions than last year, I've already seen an increasing number of people going to the local casinos.
I think Vegas were already accomodating normal number of people just like before the pandemic.

During the pandemic, almost all offline businesses were affected and that's why many online businesses started to achieve success, with many people switching from offline to online.
This is also what makes many online casinos get a lot of benefits, with many gamblers getting to know crypto and fiat based casinos so that online casinos get an advantage.
Online casinos provide a different experience from offline casinos so that new people join to experience new things when they play at online casinos.
They can play wherever they want so that makes them free.

Here I agree with you. Gambling doesn't just depend on luck. Much more depends on your proper research. Especially in sports betting, we usually recognize a team or player. You have to understand which team or players perform well and which are relatively low quality. Then you can participate in any bet. But luck is a big deal that will not always be favorable.

There are different types of gambling, like casinos and sport betting. In casino, it is mostly based on luck, in sport, you can analyse and predict, but sport gambling is also based on luck, but the luck on sport gambling is higher than in casinos. Even if you gamble and win in sport, that does not mean there are no chance to lose, there are chance to lose too. Sport gambling sites are also growing very well, it is because people lose than gain to the gambling sites. If you are the best sport analysts and you gamble always and more frequently with your analysis, you will only notice you are losing, that is just sport gambling for you.

Judging by the trend of fuck-ups going on in the world, it's likely that in a few years the casinos won't be working as they did before. At any rate, I wouldn't count on it too much. Maybe in the future people won't have the money to go to casinos. But the virtual reality trend may well develop and be successful.

The fact that from time to time we get into local crises prevents us from seeing a steady global trend - the average wealth around the world is growing and people are spending more and more money on entertainment. Therefore, I would not worry about the casino, the only question is that people's tastes are changing and maybe online will replace offline, or at least lead to a strong change from what we see now.

We can tell that, as "at some point" they did really went that low.

But today, it's completely different. Things are going back to normal and before we thought about the new normal but these days, it's showing that we can actually go back to our old normal lives.

Yes, only a few selected will be put into lockdown.

Actually, the same thing we are now shifting into the web3 and most of the gambling platforms are now trying to adopt it one of the gambling casinos have it is the rollbit and which is good for the people who love NFTs at the same time, currently beside that is additional which is the virtual reality this gives a huge impact to the player but of course, there's a lot of things needed before they experience this kind of new virtual world but this is the new meta if the covid will not back immediately this is the trend but if will recover it doesn't give a huge impact.

It is true that people now spend more on entertainment. I think people are getting more and more attracted to online now. People are getting so attracted to online now that they also spend more time online for entertainment. But one thing remains to be seen whether people will now consider gambling as a means of entertainment. Because there are so many more things online that can entertain people. Now if one's taste changes then the effect can be seen to some extent.

The covid pandemic has given rise to online casinos and this has also led to new advanced game development most especially in the i-gaming industry. But this the first time am hearing of gambling on a smartwatch I will love to play some of those games on the smartwatch, i have an oraimo smartwatch I don't know if my smartwatch is compatible with the games please can you share with me a link that I could use to check the smartwatch gambling article.

With the passage of time - everything is on the smart watch, bank, fitness, gambling, trends, calls.
The online casinos are at the hike but also the real casinos do exists too. Mostly those people are rushing to online casinos where gambling is banded and they have no place to go for gambling [/list]

Agreed.
The main reason to use crypto is the fact you don't want to disclose your personal data to such entities as casino. And this is of course useless if you're going to do KYC. In that case it doesn't matter use you crypto or not.

But yeah, this year is high trend for crypto.

I agree.

But online casinos are the new normal now, that's why people started to like it since the pandemic starts, and now, maybe they've realized that online casinos are more fun and convenient, of course it still depends on what you're looking for. Land based casinos are more appealing because you can see a lot of different games, people, and making new friends that you can't do in online casinos because of virtual and physical aspects.

This is the difference when you do neither deal with strategic gambling games like sports betting or luck based ones which is preferring to dice/slots/roulletes etc.I do agree into your point that its not bad to gamble beyond limits but

be sure that you do know on what you are doing and you wont really go into those heights or something which would really be causing some disaster later on when it comes to your finances.
Spend only on the amount which you can afford to lose as the primary rule not only on gambling but also in investment.

Trends would continue and we are really expecting something that is new into the market which we could able to play whether its strategic or luck based.

Adoption becomes more active because of the pandemic, and yes many are into online now because of being afraid getting the virus outside since we are still in pandemic and many still don’t want to take a risk. There’s a lot of options online and if the gambler knows that, most probably they will adopt and will stay. The trend is here, and actually some gambling site have the trend of using NFTs to give more privileges to some gambler and I think this can be the next big thing in crypto gambling.

online gambling indeed increased during this pandemic period. i believe, some of these gamblers who were previously into offline casinos found their way in in online casinos, particularly crypto casinos. in this forum alone, we have seen a lot of casinos and bookies launched during the pandemic period. if they are not generating good income, they won't last, right? but they are still surviving and growing. so it means, they got their regular patrons and they are still growing. and now, new features are being introduced like nft and other attractive features.

Not just those who are previously gamblers already but even those who are not into gambling, either casual, average or totally newbies, even try to gamble while they are just at their home because of the lockdown. In Europe, there are reports I remember back in 2020 that are being shared here that a big number of minors entering the gambling scene also increases because their activities got suspended during the lockdown.

Regardless if there's a pandemic or not, the gambling industry will really grow. It's unstoppable. The pandemic contributes to the rapid increase of gamblers because during the peak, people have nothing to do but stay home and they are exposed too much to the internet.

I think you can add on the list OP that the popularity of online gambling casinos have increased tenfold due to the pandemic. With everyone almost working home, browsing through the internet and doing something online has become more of a necessity and a convenience. With this in mind, most of the businesses have shifted towards digitalization their products rather than offering it physically.

Even outside online gambling companies, lots of products in online shopping have been introduced. Their popularity has been steadily increasing as they take advantage of this situation. Though before people preferred to gamble online due to convenience, now it also becomes the only choice due to safety and regulations.

Of course that would happen, it is easier for people to have access to an online casino, if everyone was playing using a bank account, casinos would have few customers because having a bank account is already difficult and bureaucratic and banks are boring, they keep monitoring people's account activities, definitely gambling using bank account would not be viable for most people


strange that in most casinos that i know they all have it very clear in the TOS that they forbid people from restricted countries to use the casinos


obesity and addiction... I don't need to say much


Hmm... on this subject I honestly don't see much evolution


add the increase to do KYC

NFT is overhyped. I doubt it will be the next big thing in crypto-gambling. I even don't see why or how.

Let alone NFT dominates the other crypto-industry but don't expect it will be a big thing in crypto-gambling.

Gamblers will always be gamblers and they will prefer the usual. Crypto-gambling will surely grow thanks to the popular crypto-gambling sites that make it possible by doing big partnerships and sponsorships. The big marketing that these sites do contributes to the popularity of crypto-gambling and not because of this NFT overhype.

maybe, they will find certain audience of gamblers that will have interest on nft. but i guess, the majority won't touch this part of gambling feature. as the future of most NFT items are uncertain, they won't spend a lot on this. but maybe they will keep an eye on this feature but won't take this very seriously because once the hype is over, most of these nft items won't be worth holding or playing. only few gaming platforms can sustain their nft side..

I agree with you both. NFT in gambling might be a game-changer but I doubt it really is that hyped.

A gambler will still prefer the common thing they are seeing in gambling. Maybe those new to gambling or gamers are those who only will put an interest in NFT but eventually, the interest will soon fade as NFT without hype is nothing.

Lots of NFT-based nowadays. Only few survives and make names even how good the effort to put an hype on it.

It's funny how the article celebrates the law being skirted with crypto casinos. But yes, the reality is that today you can still gamble in crypto casinos from countries where it would not be legal because gambling is prohibited or because crypto casinos do not meet the standards to be able to offer services in certain countries.

In this respect, I believe that the cryptocurrency casino industry does not have many years left. In the future, KYC implementations are going to be stricter, and will be required from the outset, and gambling from where you can't will be greatly reduced.

To be honest, I'm not young anymore and the thesis that there are a lot of things online that can entertain looks doubtful to me. Video/games/communication, etc. good, but good in small amounts, it gets boring quickly. Gambling is another matter. In my opinion, it satisfies some basic human needs and there will always be a place for it among other entertainment.

Yeah we will miss the good old days where you can gamble anywhere without worrying your funds get frozen or your winning get deducted due KYC procedure that you won't take.
we are all now suffering asked for KYC in a very trusted casinos , otherwise you might found a casino that not 'yet' require a KYC but then had a dirty service.

what a shame , a crypto free world getting handcuffed.

Gamblers in restricted location cannot still play legally.

There are a lot of casinos which are going to essentially ban you and kick you out the moment you know that you are using a VPN, even if it goes okay at the time of the bet you still won't be able to withdraw and you will be banned, there are some casinos that does allow VPN ofc but it's better to use terms and conditions.
Government does need tax because of covid and the incoming recession therefore most of the countries are now allowing gambling online.

Smart watches can create problems for people who are addicted to gambling, I honestly do not understand why would someone do that. Gamble for the entertainment, do not Gamble to win or to have some money in the bank it is not a job or a game, it is very different, doing it on smart watches is not a good idea according to me.

As many wants to try crypto gambling, many tend to break the rules just to try this one without knowing the risk of doing that, VPN might work but I don’t trust this in long term since problem can still happen. Yes, we are slowly adopting the KYC thing here especially in some site where they suddenly requires this and as a gambler with money on that site already, you have no choice but to comply or else you will not be able to access your account.

That's not about using a VPN for sure but since there are users accessing the site from restricted regions, that will be a violation.

As far as most gambling sites are concerned, using VPN is not really prohibited as that won't even lead to another form of abuse except for the situation that I have mentioned. If VPN was used to a location that is not prohibited by the gambling site, there's nothing wrong with using it. It's just to mask the real IP and gambling sites already know that privacy matters to their users.

Don't use VPN to access it from restricted regions and that will surely result in a ban hammer not unless there's a part of the Terms and Service that directly pointed out that the use of VPN is illegal and prohibited.

I agree with you, what I have seen is that, for example, many children between 10 and 18 years of age have become children without self-esteem and antisocial behavior because they spend more time isolated with only their phones on social networks. games can even bring more fun, but it has to be something moderate, spending hours in games and not dealing with real world things, is something harmful

I think they just impose this new rules in order to follow the government or else they were the ones were going to lose their business. We just have to accept that this new rules and regulations are inevitable no matter where you are especially if there's money involved. And I think the government just noticed that most of casinos are making enough money without the regulations they want plus most people nowadays are nowhere to go during the time of the pandemic that's why it is the only way they could spend their time.

Children will really encounter gambling while they are growing up. It can't be avoided.

For me, it's good not to stop them from doing so, they will just be confused and curious as to why they are being prohibited to do gambling. Let them experience it and allow them to face the risks. As a parent or guardians, what we need to do is to feed them more information about the risks of gambling.

Minors aren't that dumb to just experience those risks. They will understand the risks of gambling depending on how good we are explaining it to them.

I am sure with the online casinos the gambling increased and there is an increase in the gamblers. Even the regions where gambling is banned people got  chance to become gamblor - - So this increase the spam and fraud as well.

I don't want to divert the subject, but on social networks my wife saw a video of a boy who was quite small and wanted to be a murderer when he grew up, I say this because everything has really been distorted, children have access to a lot of information, which, the parents always have to be supervising them, and just as that child wants to be a "murderer" others easily enter casinos, but I think the trick of all this is in the parents, how much the parents are dedicated to their children, if they really believe they are being raised right? away from those dangers, if so, I do not see why a minor access casinos, this is my opinion of course.

Parenting and guidance is really responsibility by us to be given out into our children for them to be raised on the right path and wont be lost on the way that we wont want for them to attain or reach out.
Avoid at all cost on activities or things that do really correlate on something bad or not really a good thing at all which it would really be that common sense that you wont really like for them to experience.
For minors accessing casinos then it cant be possible on physical places but for online ones? I should say that this is something a hard thing to get rid off with specially that accessing
sites and being anonymous is really simple and could really be a matter of few clicks.

I am like a fan boy with that gambling on smartwatches. That's making a gambler on the road like a person from the Matrix.  :P

Anyway, we're really going there since smartwatches are already in the market and able to access just like other phones but it's still limited. Soon, that will be easier.

As simple as browsing through our phones but with more little screens.

Are your earning well. Now casinos are on the go. People do gamble on the road in the subway on the bus. With out wasting time.
Smart people - smart approach. Which website do you use bytheway?

Are you a fan of smartwatch because you want to be using it to gamble on the raod while going somewhere? Do not make that mistake, concentrate on where you are going because of accident not to happen, even if you are trekking, it is not advisable to gamble on the road.

There are smart watches available in the market, they are many and getting more in the market, they are not also that expensive but affordable.

The reason I can not use smartwatch but prefer to use just my phone or PC.

Does this project already exist? I can't remember a smartwatch brand releases their new feature that online gambling can be played through this , it will be a good project and many casinos will surely adapt this innovation so that  their website is more accessible than other. But in my own view, it is kinda hard to play in smart watches, I need more larger monitor.

Good advice. Personally, I don’t even understand those who wear headphones and listen to music instead of being attentive and listening to what is happening around. In my opinion, this is dangerous since we may not hear the signal of the car or someone shouting. In the case of gambling, everything is no less dangerous - this is a gambling activity and it attracts all attention, I would not be surprised if a person completely focused in gambling gets into some kind of unpleasant story because he will be completely distracted from the real world.

Gambling on smartwatches is one thing that I will try to avoid. Even if you want to gamble on the go, why not gamble on your mobile phone which has much bigger screens as compared to the smart watches screens.

Not only it will be difficult to gamble on smartwatches, but the small size screen also makes gambling more irritating rather than fun-oriented.

I haven't heard about any existing project or gambling site that could work on smartwatches. It might be convenient to others but it will be hard for most of us to concentrate on it. It's better to play on our mobile phones so we can focus and see the details of the games well because that can affect our whole gameplay. It still sounds interesting though but I don't think many gamblers would enjoy gambling using that gadget.

First time I am hearing about that trend. Sounds a bit crazy for my own personal taste. Isn't the display too small on a smart watch to really gamble? I have some friends who really like to gamble on their cell phone, for me it doesn't work. Even with the big displays today I am not comfortable to play for money on it. The optimal setup for me is on the couch with my tablet or on my desktop PC. It's probably because I like to do things on the side while gambling.



The biggest new trend I noticed this year is virtual reality setups. Many casinos are adding now the VR technology as new experience for customers. The article already mentions it. Another trend which I did see in the article is that leader boards become more common. Casinos seem to enjoy showing the top gamblers each week and month. It's a nice feature to see how much other gamblers are winning, even if it makes me a little jealous.

Adding top gamblers on the board is the kind of recognition while some gets jealous other gets motivated and the real person appreciated.
However - this is the techniques which all the businesses are using to bring their top few on forth so that everyone know who is performing better than others.

For me the casinos will always be booming, it will not stop no matter how much they are prohibited, the governments cannot go against the tide, in fact the governments in most cases have a high participation in the casinos, on the other hand physical casinos always have their way of winning and always getting the best profit, this is something that can never change, in online casinos the house edge is also maintained, I think this is something that every player has to have Of course, for now we as players have to keep in mind that in a casino it should be taken just to have fun, that way it is better to take it.

I'm also confused, it seems we don't know there is a new innovation for smartwatches, I tried to look for it in a search but nothing related to online casinos. And if this technology has been developed, are there many gamblers who are interested? I think smartwatches are just for looks to make them look more stylish. 
and most gamblers need a bigger screen in order to enjoy each game more.

Playing games on smart watches can not be suitable for gambling. I think smart phones are enough. In the beginning we saw the trend of mobile phones was to make them smaller but after a while it was seen that the demand for big screen phones always increasing due to it's advantages. You can use a smart phone like computer. People who access casinos on smartwatches I think they enjoy it for showing not for playing casino.

I'm not sure if adding a list of top gamblers on the board will motivate other gamblers to race to catch up with them because if other gamblers are not affected by the leaderboard, they will play as usual. If the leaderboard easily influences them, they can spend more money to get on the leaderboard. It's better we don't have to think about it and just enjoy our time playing gambling. One day, our names will be on the leaderboard list if we really deserve it. So be patient and just keep playing ;D

Speaking for myself: leaderboards always demotivate me  :D Out of curiosity, sometimes I look at statistics on maximum bets or the amount of money wagered. Naturally, in the first places there are people with some cosmic indicators. After these numbers, my own even serious winnings are perceived as dust. And the thought always arises - is it honest statistics or is the casino overestimating the figures for the sake of prestige (showing that people trust such huge money).

I would like to understand how do you play with smartwatches, you risk constantly to fell  ;D

Also, Apple watch allow to play with games with Iwatch?

About it, it is a good thing that crypto gambling casino allows player to play also in that country where gambling is not legal, this is a sort of free democracy, and a right of everyone, everyone should decide for it self.

As far as I know, some of the smartwatches are supported the use of the web browser and of course we know that some of the gambling platform are accessible with it but the problem is with the size is about 360 pixels approximately but some of the web browsers are not supported with it mostly with the lower is about 600 pixels if supported can you send to us an image of possible?.

People who use mobile devices (smartphones and smart watches) acquire special superpowers while walking along the street, which help them to freely navigate in space.  I call this "opening the third eye." 
Keeping their eyes on their device, these people are skilled at avoiding collisions with other people (as well as cyclists). 

At one time I conducted an interesting experiment.  I tried to deliberately organize a collision with such people.  But despite my best efforts, nothing happened! 

They skillfully dodged me (without taking their eyes off their device).  This is a real miracle! 

From this, we can conclude that online casinos can also be played outdoors.  It takes practice, but it's possible.

Luckily the leaderboards did not affect me as my goal of gambling was not to gain popularity in one or two casinos so I didn't feel motivated to be on those leaderboards. Judging by the stats, I know that my ability to reach the next level won't be easy and I'm not sure if I can advance to the next level or stay at the current rank. Maybe you should not think about those leaderboards and just play gambling for fun so you won't feel the impact. Getting your name on the leaderboards can cost you more money.

I didn't say that getting into these leaderboards was a goal for me (although in fact it would be nice since the tops get huge bonuses for the money they wage). Haven't you ever met such a psychological effect that you saw things that were approximately the same in meaning but of a very different scale, and the smaller thing against the background of the big one became, as it were, insignificant?

Of course, it would be nice if we could get to the leaderboards and it seems like there are still many people who make it their goal to gamble. I think I've seen the situation you mentioned but I don't know and am not sure, because I've never really thought about it much. If I encounter something that has to do with psychology, I tend to let it go and not think about it because that will make me think more about it and even forget what I should be doing.

For me the leaderboards are a big motivation to continue to play.I see people with more than x5000 in the slots I play and I say to myself when the f will come my time to such a huge winnings which compared to the bet I saw there like 0.25 Ethereum and the win of 1325 Ethereum,this for me can be considered a life changing event hitting x5300 win with that high of a bet.I know those are high rollers and for them these bets are considered small ones but hey,if I get 1325 Ethereum I surely can quit my hateful job and live like a king for at least 25-30 years and that is enough time to have all the missed fun.Oh man you made my dream now  ;D.

You probably have a very strong psyche ... or vice versa, a weak one  ;D - since the feeling of envy (in a bad or good sense) is a reflection of the vital will of living beings to fight and compete  :)


Wow... insane win. I would also dream about this, but I understand that it definitely won’t fall into my hands because I don’t have so much money to place bets of $ 300. Sometimes I make risky bets, but I will be happy even with win 1.5 thousand dollars or 15 thousand, it is too early for me to dream of 1.5 million  ::)

If we have the capability to joine the leaderboard then it is served as big motivation.  Sadly small fry like me would only just dream about it  ;D.


This kind of win or even half of it is a life changer since I lived in a country where a $20k amount will greatly change one's life.  Probably I wouldn't make a 0.25 ETH bet in one roll, so it would be impossible for me to win such a huge amount but well it is still good to look up for the future, maybe one day we can let go of a 0.25 ETH bet in 1 roll.  The future is unknown so maybe what we are planning and thinking right now may happen in the next years.

I do not really like to fight or compete with others because it will make us have the nature of wanting to win ourselves over others and may make us unable to feel satisfied.

By the way, this online casino trend will continue. It will probably develop better than now because of the discovery of better technology that can support the existence of online gambling. We have also seen some technological advances implemented into casinos such as virtual reality and other things and will develop better in the future.

I agree with you - when people say it is an investment of $20k for them it might be a small amount. But for others. it is a hefty amount.
Also the same loss is a big lose for the person. So not for everyone it is a small amount. . and not for everyone it is small loss.

Online casino game is making cryptocurrency to be more popular because people are using cryptocurrency to deposit for some company of casino game instead of using usd for deposit. I believe cryptocurrency is getting popularity because of numbers of betting that accepts using it. But using all this for gambling is not making cryptocurrency to price to be high

I may have the same good ending.
Pay my house completely so it won't be a problem for me and my kids in the future. Renovate it so that there will be ease on everything my wife will do especially the kitchen part and save all the money for other stuff. Maybe invest more in Bitcoin rather than in Ethereum.

Leaderboards are such a great motivation.
There's one time I was trying to reach the top 50 of a dice competition where they offer a shared amount for those who could reach those ranks.
I was not even near the top.  :D But it made me pursue something which is a change from the normal days of just betting manually.

In gambling when some one loses a lot he has nothing left, he one financially free but will not carry it for long. Also, $20k amount is never something to be underestimated. Those who would call it small must be he or she will be aristocratic. Because if an ordinary user loses such type of bet, then it is doubtful whether he or she will be able to recover it for his life. So the amount of bet should be determined depending on your financial condition.

This makes a certain sense - like in games where you are matched with an opponent finding by MMR. Once you reach a certain level you can't beat it and the wins/losses will alternate, this can be really annoying as people get used to the process of progress.
As far as gambling is changing due to technology, I am skeptical - it makes no difference whether you roll the dice live, with the help of a VR helmet or with a minimalist browser program.

Yes, really everything is more difficult now, I think that now the challenge to have children and parenting is much harder, especially because of social networks, the freedoms that exist now, the same money drives them to have many detours that they do confuse our children, prgoresism and those things make the little ones confused, and looking at everything that attracts this, the problem of games, gambling or something like this is one of the many problems that have to be faced, be father in these times and take into consideration that there are many things that can twist children, it is necessary to have more than 2 eyes, and one of these problems that must be avoided is access to gambling platforms.

Maybe at this time, we are skeptical of the changes that occur because the changes are not yet too significant. But with the advent of better technology, I think our view of gambling integrated with better technology will change. VR technology with the help of a helmet is still being developed and research to improve VR technology itself is still ongoing. We know that it takes time for it to be accepted by the public and in the meantime, we can continue to gamble using today's technology.

Many people are gambling for profit so yes all of them have once dreamed of to be part of the leader board because there are extra prizes that you can win but many of them have also forget it and don't push that dream because they know that it will take them lots of money before they can increase their ranks in the leaderboard. About that psychology thing you are saying, yes you better forget about that because that can make you crazy in the long run if you will keep on thinking about it.

There are lots of new stuffs being introduced in the casino this year but I don't think those stuffs have became a trend since many of the casinos are not following it.

Even in games that are more receptive to technical improvements like Shooters, Fightings, etc. VR technologies have remained only in their niche. This is episodic entertainment, nothing more. I don't know how far the progress would have to go for these changes to go all the way to gambling. Maybe it should be something like an AI that monitors brain activity and offers to place bets with specific odds and a specific size in order to get the highest endorphin release at the output  ;D

Ah - Many people also think that we have been stalked by the google and you have mentioned mind reading.
But somehow that is true too - I have a country in my mind and I keep getting the ads of travel and logging of that particular county

One of the trends in the further development of online casinos is the variety of possible bets.

In the days of the Musketeers, people, gambling, staked gold and silver coins (ecu, louis), jewelry (family rings), their lands and estates.  Sometimes people (servants and squires) were put on the line in gambling.  

In the 21st century, the stakes can be much more varied...

This is due to the fact that the concept of a financial asset is evolving.  At present, financial assets are mainly virtual world assets.  These include cryptocurrencies, NFTs, all kinds of game items from multiplayer computer games.  

Any asset from virtual reality can become a bet in an online casino.

the trends have changed in 2022. In these days - NFTs has become more popular and artists and photographers are counting on the NFTS
For gamblers crypto is important for artists and photographers and that is how it is gaining hype among the twitter community.

Definitely, casinos will try and try new stuffs to cater the gambling community.
This will give them advantage over the others, however, they need to find a good feature that can sustain the interest of players.
This is why from time to time, they need to change the contests or programs, as players are not contented with only one and they got bored easily.
Also, they need to innovate and adopt what's the current interest of the players, like venturing the NFT business and integrate it with the casino.

They will compete in any way, that's why they will have a promotion that would attract gamblers as they understand how high is the competition in the crypto gambling world. We have less regulation here and crypto is becoming more popular so the interest will grow, and it's just not a matter of promotion but also the way to build a good reputation.

I don't understand this. I cannot connect what's the relationship between gamblers and artists and photographers. And even with the newest trend today, if it's just all about NFTs.
Well, we see some people setting up gambling places to gamble with their NFTs but other than that, I cannot really look at the part where we can connect what you've said on this quote.

Yes, school age children under 18 years have been heavily involved in online casinos as gamblers be it crypto or fiat. That's one of the trends that I know based on my observations outside the forum.

In my community, gambling is still considered a bad thing or perhaps more accurately described as a societal disease. Gambling is prohibited by law and religion, but the more sophisticated the digital world has become that people are starting to like it and even now there is too much of it. Indeed, it is their right and we have no right to regulate it, but when it comes to children under the age of 18, it will be very problematic.

Yes, currently there are a lot of betting games offered, of course very interesting and fun for bettors who like to play online gambling with games that are familiar in the world, even online casinos have to be creative in finding new ideas, not even just promotions. . Convenience of playing and also smoothness in transactions or anything related to online gambling.
and all of that aims to attract new customers and also retain existing customers because competition is very tight, technological advances make online gambling more attractive which in my opinion will continue to grow and develop.

But I must say that even the pandemic has become the new normal, online casinos has gained more huge  success these days as gamblers are enjoying playing at the expense of their homes. While some of the people go back to land based casinos to gamble because there’s always a different ambience when you play seeing your opponents, I believe a lot are still gambling online because they also find it more enjoyable and convenient that way.

Online casinos became popular even before the pandemic. I think it's because of government bans, and internet technology is developing very fast. If the places you used to go to have been closed in your city, now you can easily gamble from the comfort of your own home. The atmosphere is certainly not the same as it was in reality, but the meaning hasn't changed.

I wouldn't be surprised by this because our technology right now is too advanced. We may think it's strange but let's admit it, it's sometimes useful right? Because, there is no need for us to type but the results are already laid out for us. If this stuffs is possible, then what's more if there is an equipment attached in our head or other parts of our body? Predicting would be more accurate that way but the only question is if they are still safe?

As I think that technologies like these may require a lot of power and the radiations can even become stronger. Guess ill have to stick on the old way of gambling as I am already contented on them anyway.

it is already happening, how AI can predict our plans and behaviour owed to our online activities. it is no surprise these days to receive an email regarding a holiday vacation to a country or place that you are only thinking of. if you are browsing over the internet to such place, this will be recorded in your browsing history. and with the tech we have these days, they can really tell what's going on with your life especially if you are always posting your activities online via these social media channels. if you want more privacy, better limit your postings over the internet. as much as possible don't disclose your activities.

It is very difficult for a modern person to limit his activity on the Internet. 

I remember using my first smartphone.... I tried to use it offline as much as possible.  I didn't connect it to the internet.  I have used it as a camera, camcorder, voice recorder, flashlight, personal diary (Swiss knife).  But over time, evil won over good.  I connected my smartphone to the Internet and began to actively use all Internet technologies (messengers, video hosting, forums, etc.). 

The smartphone was designed to be used on the web.  This allows you to use it most effectively. 

This is how people learn about NFTs, cryptocurrencies, online casinos, etc. Virtual reality is based on smartphones.  Every child under 18 has a smartphone. 

Therefore, the child will definitely learn about online casinos and will gamble (betting using cryptocurrencies and NFTs).

The pandemic has turned many offline businesses into online, including gambling businesses because people cannot leave their homes freely so they are looking for other solutions to keep playing gambling. And coincidentally they saw a lot of promotions of gambling sites, especially crypto gambling sites which offered many conveniences compared to fiat based casinos, and that made them finally join crypto casinos. And although now land-based casinos have started to reopen, many people still use online casinos because the convenience they have got makes them comfortable playing online gambling.

as time goes by, children will definitely learn about the internet world such as cryptocurrencies and others because they see advertisements or see news on television, thus creating questions for children and finally they are looking for that information, nowadays digital development is very fast, there are many children who have a sophisticated smartphone because parents are provided with facilities so they are most likely to try gambling places even though they don't always spend time at gambling places.

Thats why parenting is really crucial specially when you do raise up your children on which it is really good to teach them on things and made them aware.Its true that in todays era it is really that easy

for children to be exposed off with different things and not only with gambling but also in other things that can be seen through online thats why you should really make them aware on what
are the con's on dealing with things too much. Trend and hypes could be everywhere and could really be seen and on the time your children is fully aware on things
then most likely they would really be avoiding it once they do able to encounter it out.

1. I don't think so. There are more "non crypto casinos" than those of Crypto casinos.
2. Yes, they can play as long as they use a VPN, but most casinos require KYC when you will want to withdraw. You won't be able to withdraw since you won't be able to pass KYC. So yes, you can play, but you might not be able to withdraw.
3 and 4: Maybe though haven't seen live games much.
5.Not really.
6 and 7: These are true.
8: Gambling on smartwatches would be a disaster. Why would anyone want to gamble on a small screen?

This is why the article is so biased.

And raising our children today is more difficult than it was a few decades ago because, with advances in technology and the availability of the internet at home, they can easily expose things they shouldn't know. The easiest example is that they can easily see adult ads that they are not allowed to see.

Trends and hype happening at this time have provided a lot of knowledge for children, especially the negative things that can make them do it. Only with the supervision of good and right parents can they help them get through their teenage years well so that they won't get involved in things that we don't want.

Yes, it would really be depending on how responsible or good parent you are when handling out your kids.Im not saying that those parents who had bad children or something dealing with addiction
arent good ones because not all the time we could really monitor them out and as i said that with todays era and tech then it is really hard for you to see all the things that they've been dealing with.

Right guidance and making them aware on things would really be helpful.We dont really want to see them on involving on things which we know that it could really put them on harm.

We are making things for them for the best ones and no guardian or parent would really be hoping something bad for their children.

I worked as a teacher for approx 15 years of my life. And I have seen many good parents crying for their kids - that they do not listen. Also I have seen serious clash among all while they are unable to understand each other. So we can't say that good parents produce good kids and bad parenting results in bad kids. That is psyche of the kids which make them good or bad. 

The truth is that I am honest with myself, I think that I would not be able to bet so much in a slot machine, if my concept is totally the opposite, for me making small bets guarantees me fun and possibly can give me long-term profits, if and only if I see slots as fun but not to win money or get rich, clearly people or some people with a lot of money see these slots as an infallible option to make money, but go they risk a lot, I am not capable of doing it, the most that I would be willing to risk a maximum of 100usd and that with a lot of pain because losing them is significant for me. I have seen the best bettors make big profits, but for me they are professionals.


What happens is that education, true education begins at home, when they go to school it is a sample of what parents have taught their children, including moral values, manners and how to respect teachers and their classmates, I believe that a mother/father and/or both should give these values to their children, with that they do not have bad habits or allow themselves to be influenced by those who are not so lucky, teachers for me are guides so that they can learn and have more knowledge, this is something that many people are not clear about, if the parents have bad habits, it is likely that their child will be like that, although many times the children come out with a better way of thinking than the parents themselves.

The technology that we have right now also affects the behavior of the younger generation, they are too dependent with their social media account and they easily believe on what they saw online which makes the situation more worst. I agree that even parent can’t handle their children for some reason, they easily follow the trends and probably they can easily exposed to gambling if they continue to behave like that. The online casinos right now continues to grow, many children might be more exposed to this if left unguided.

Right parenting produces good kids, and bad parenting produces bad kids, it isn't 100% foolproof though since there is always this x variable, but there is more chance of producing good kids if the guidance is right since right conduct is embedded in the kids' core.  And how did you know that they are good parents in terms of disciplining their children?  Did you live with them?


I do not think it is because of technology that raising children or disciplining them more difficult.  It is the humanitarian law that makes parenting much more difficult because several laws prevent parents to punish their children if the children had done wrong.  It was proven that the right usage of "reward and stick" is the most effective way of disciplining or raising children but it was prevented by the law by removing stick from that process.

At the current situation, KYC is always been the hot talk of the town since many players don't want to submit documents of their identity in online casinos while the government wanted to impose KYC to all players of online casinos in order to prevent money laundering.

That's right, there's that purpose why the casinos are asking for that. They want to screen all of their players as the casino is subject to the local rules of the country where they're located.
It's all about avoiding that potential laundering that the casino may be used by its users and that's why they're providing that compliance and we can't do anything about it.

The rise of online casinos has mainly been during the Corona pandemic. People flock to casinos to pass some time despite being very busy. Land base casino was forbidden during Corona pandemic. A gambler when he gets all the facilities at home instead of going to a land-based casino, there is no limit to the excitement of casino lovers. Even after the Corona pandemic, the picture looks the same. Now people are very interested in online casino. A survey has shown that all the casinos are getting more profit every year.

A child will grow well depending on how his parents supervise and how his parents can educate them well. A child in today's era, where technology is developing quite fast compared to a few years ago, is very vulnerable to getting various kinds of information, positive or negative. But they will receive negative information more quickly than positive because we have seen a lot of negative information that can affect how children think, especially for developing children.

We as parents really need to guide them to filter all the information so that they don't take the wrong path that can affect their lives when they are adults. We must admit that supervising children in this era is more difficult because of the many media they can get easily.

We can no longer use "gifts and sticks" on them because the times are different from a few years ago. I see that today's children are more absorbing what is happening around them and they may be increasingly demanding of their parents to give them what they want. And most parents today always give what their children want regardless of whether it is necessary or not. For example, a child under 5 years old has been given a mobile phone, not as a communication medium but to calm them down so they don't interfere with their parent's affairs. I've seen in many cases it happens around me. From here, eventually, many children grow up but they grow up too fast.

Yes, but KYC will always be there, whether we do not want to see it because the casino can do that easily to their members. It is our job to search which casinos are not too strict in applying the KYC process so they do not have to impose KYC if we do not want it.

I think that many people in their right mind always look for a way to stand out, and one way to stand out is with the rankings and be in the first, it is something natural and I do not blame anyone for it, of course the road is long and very difficult and I think that luck to get there quickly is very difficult, because the only way is to spend a lot of money and I think that is not the idea either, for me the effort is much more valuable, and not being at the top of a classification , but always maintain a history that at least finds more positive than negative balance, so that way you acquire more experience and more control and that is already a lot of profit.

- Gambling owners know that gamblers will look for gaming, so they thought of online gambling so that they can continue to gamble, and these gambling owners have succeeded. This is also what the crypto gambling owners are doing which is still very popular with online gamblers. And even though offline-based casinos are gradually returning to opening, the majority of them remain in online gambling.

- There are many that have come out today in play store that can be downloaded in casinos gambling any person in any corner of the world at this time do not even need to leave their homes usig their mobile devices and gadgets, and to be able to strategize, etc. online gambling owners even pay popular influencers just to promote their online gambling platform.

A very good strategy in attracting more players, using influencers and known celebrities is one of the strategy that most online casinos are using now, knowing that the influence of the internet in terms of using social media channels. It's really effective as fans and viewers who follow the person will have an idea about gambling business and will start using the platform.

We have seen many additional casinos online, either fiat base or crypto base casinos. There are lots of it now that operating all over the world, even onshore casinos are integrating to online so they can still cater to their regular patrons to continue playing with them.

I agree with you . most of the casinos site use same slots game. This is a common aspect of gambling sites . However, although the dice are slightly different, all casino sites use roughly the same structure to create dice. There are only some rules and UI are changes.

They have seen that players are liking these slots so for their own profit motive also they have added the same slots but some casinos have different one's also to attract new players.But speaking of dice it's almost everywhere and there is huge bets placed over dice rolls while some casinos have only dice rolls in the past.The only change they can implement is game rules and UI but almost the same one over all casino.

Take a look around, most casinos are the same. Same slots providers, same house games, and same promotions mostly. The difference is who is a scam, who pays players or who looks for a way to not pay players. Yea they all have a little difference here and there but mostly the same.

The few casino games I've seen all have a rule but the games are all eyeballs they just changed the rules I think everything is the same.

what do you mean actually by your post...? Almost all gambling games keep their development codes open and when someone goes to build a gambling site they copy the source codes of those games and use those codings to make games for there platform. So all slot games structure looks similar

I noticed through telegram bot notification that he has quoted my 4-5 posts today.  And almost every post was irrelevant . I don't know why he is doing these things . maybe you are right with your point that he/she trying to show his gambling post activists to get a opportunity on Stake signature campaign

It's true that most online casinos look very similar in terms of games offered. Slot machines and dice are definitely the most common games and will bring in the biggest revenues for casinos. Card games are not so popular anymore as they were 10 years ago during the poker hype. I think the number of poker players and the casinos that offer big games have been declining. For the player it's a lot of work to stay ahead of others given how far poker theory developed, most of the basic strategy will not bring a positive return anymore. For online casinos poker was never a favourite game because they don't take active part in it. There is no house that has the highest winning chance, they only earn a fixed rate as commission based on the number of played hands. Less players and less play time means less money for the casino. The important trend this year for a casino is not the games itself anymore, but being a reliable platform that has good costumer support and offers a wide range of crypto currencies to accept deposits and withdraws.

I agree reputation plays a big factor we all recommend people to look at reputable casinos, list down these reputable casinos, and check what features are you looking for, never start with features then late in finding if the site is reputable after you've been scammed, this is why we have so many scam accusations they like the features and design and do not care on the reputation, one case is 1XBIT good features but with bad reputation.

Although most of the casino sites almost have the same slot games, it does not make the casino sites lose the interest of users to keep visiting their casinos because they can provide other things that attract them to play gambling. So it will depend on each casino how they can attract every user to keep visiting their casino site. Giving other things like bonuses or doing other promotions will make the gamblers return to the casino and spend their time gambling.

I agree, just like what I said in other post people nowadays tend to believe in every influencer especially if they are really a fan of it, they will support it no matter what even without further research for that certain new online casino. Yeah even here in us they are operated online legally but there is also some traditional casino here that old people are playing with.

Casino sites will always provide games where they would have an assurance that players would put their interest. They always focus on casino games that is popular and is familiar to gamblers. They only differ on the bonuses and promotions that they provide to attract more players which is actually a common strategy.

Marketing is really just a default thing, they do only differ on how these platforms or companies do make on different scale and this is where people do find out whether it would be interesting or not.
Casino trends will really be that depending yet most of the time they do follow into each other whenever they do saw something new which it would really be that normal that they would really be copying
out on whats new and offering or adding something to it which havent been seen into this market and providing some additionals on making themselves bit more better compared to other competitors.
As this industry is really that huge and competition is high then they would really be trying out their best on giving out something new and havent been seen on this market.

it is their style to attract gamblers mate , even they are offering same game yet there are features that they wanted to show players so they will be far different from the other one.
and also with the same stance and that is to play with complete luck and hope, there are no assurance when you will win in Dice game and how much you are gonna take when win comes your way.

That's right. Casinos that want to develop their business will always provide games that can make members play for a long time and provide comfort for members as long as they play gambling there. Giving bonuses will always be considered, especially if the bonus can make them return a certain amount of money to meet the requirements for getting the bonus. And giving the bonus would be even more successful if they could get more new members to join the casino. Casinos know what strategies they should use to get even more members.

I am wondering when this virtual reality experience online casinos will truly become new trend. In 2022 I still feel like Virtual Reality devices are too big, too heavy, really bad for your eye and overall body health. I feel like it will take 5-10 more years for it to completely take over.
And yes its obvious now people especially from restricted regions gamble through crypto. Crypto dominates online gambliu industry.

I don't think that virtual reality casino has become such a trend in 2022, but it has to be admitted that virtual or online casinos have gained a lot of popularity in 2022, it may have become stronger for the global covid-19 pandemic. And I think virtual reality casinos will gain popularity very soon.  VR boxes should be enough to enjoy reality.  But yes it is harmful to our eyes but UV protector glass and inventors are researching how to make it zero harmful.

Yeah I didn't directly think about Covid 19 pandemic while writing my post but it surely achieved great job increasing anything online including online casinos. Some people, especially old gamblers, don't like to play in online casinos because they feel it's more fun to be physically in casino. But because of covid old people weren't allowed to go many places including casinos in some countries. So this affectes trend positively.

This is a serious problem for the people who are in this situation. Because I believe that people should be able to gamble with cryptocurrencies no matter the gambling company is working in their country or not. It isn't an illegal act for these people theoretically. People can use any crypto exchange they want to transfer money and buy cryptocurrencies with it. After doing that, people are free to use it in the way they want as long as they don't launder money or else.

As some governments restrict people about accessing these gambling websites, these people are using VPN to gamble like this anyway.

Yes, they are mostly the same on various sites. But boring? I wouldn't say so. If you are on a site with 2,000 or even over 3,000 different slots, how it can be boring? If you play every slot just for 10 minutes, it's 500 hours of playing! So, if you play slots for 1-2 hours each day, it's enough for 1 year of playing a different slot each time. And in one year, I can assure you, there will be new slots. Many of them.

If you were saying that playing slots was boring for you, I wouldn't argue because everyone has their own preferences. But for someone enjoying slots, today is the best time ever.

Online casino trends are a fantastic idea for this gambling discussion subforum and I think we would benefit from making a yearly or even monthly traditional of gathering the data and posting it here for our fellow Bitcointalk gambling community members.

Although having said that, I don't want to make your post seem inauthentic but I must ask: where and how did you gather the data (sources)? We should make sure that the data stays accurate.

I think it's because of the regulation of a country that prohibits gambling so people there are not allowed to gamble but are still looking for casinos that allow them to gamble. If their country prohibits gambling, it is illegal because if these people are caught, they can be subject to punishment in their country.

It will also apply if that person uses crypto. They can even be penalized twice for violating the rules that make gambling illegal and using crypto as a medium for gambling.

That's why many people still use VPNs to gamble but don't think about the consequences if they get caught by a casino using a VPN because there are casinos that don't allow VPNs.

And it's where the drama started, the gamblers will blame to the casino because they're freeze his funds and ask KYC while he doesn't did anything wrong. Obviously he doesn't did any cheat way or looking for a loophole etc, but he's using VPN and it's the casino right to ask his KYC. I think those people who're using VPN is a real gamblers since they're mostly lose all of their money, either they lose streak or ask to submit KYC.

Slots games are provided by a game provider and majority of the casinos will hire a game provider to supply them games other than their original games, this is why you are seeing the same type of slots games. There are also live games. I don't see a dice game being offered by a game provider but this one belongs to the original games created by a casino, that is why they differ a little bit.

A casino can't just copy everything on what they see with the other because that will be plagiarized and they will be punished for doing that, also they won't get more players but they need to be creative and think something unique.
