Title: Social aspects of online gambling
Post by: alani123 on January 15, 2024, 11:08:59 PM
To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

Well, I don't think it's really for "socializing" because the majority for sure is only small talk if you don't know the person. If you do know, you won't have time to even talk to them I think. It's better to find somewhere else to socialize if you were to want to "touch grass" or something like that.

I feel like you want some social media aspect in casinos. That may be a new idea or something. Please credit me with the idea lol  :o

I do not know how online casino can be socialized like land based casinos. The only fun I use to have is when I am with my friends and playing some games together. But this is not happening all the time but just few days in a year.

Land based casinos are more socialized but more people are visiting online casinos. Socializing will not be a way to make online casinos draw more gamblers to them (the gambling  site), but what could draw more users to gambling site is what online casinos will focus more on.

The thing is, even for small talk, you need to see a person's face and hear their tone of voice.
The snarky comments made at poker and blackjack tables for instance are all the money sometimes.
Or getting to know someone that just went bust for the day and just wants to talk about slots, these are some of the funniest conversations one can have imho. But the features in an online casino wouldn't really provide such a experience or anything equivalent to any level.

Maaaaybe to some extent streamers cover part of that, but still itls also one sided because the streamer is the only one interacting, and viewers can only just write.

It would probably look good for casinos if they implement a feature where players has the option to just talk over a mic and not type what they want to say. The socialization on online games would improve dramatically but they would need more moderation on that because some players could be wild and chaotic or talk over each other. That's going to cost them too so they can weigh in on the pros and cons of adding it.

I think I understand more of what you want. Is it like a visual table that you get to see and hear, like when you put on a discord call or something? I think it could be done that way so it is somehow interesting or something. And have your visual faces on the board or something.

Online casinos were kind of isolating people and the best thing about it is the privacy. When we talk about socializing it is the land based casinos where people come just to have good talk and spend their time playing games and the win/loss serves to be discussion for some time period.

With online casinos the chats used to serve as a communication system, but the same doesn't serve as a effective way. Some find it disturbing as gamblers used to request tip and support to funds to gamble. Socializing through online casinos takes place when friends unite or at some special occasions.

This makes me remember when I was reading about meta and how virtual reality can bring friends together at a particular place online. It would be good if this can be done in gambling in a way that people can meet at an online casino in a way they can see their virtual form, gamble and communicate together just like land based casinos. If the equipment that will be used are not expensive and if gambling sites are providing such service, I will like to gamble this way that can make online casinos look more real.

Personally I'd be more willing to sit on a table if it had this feature.
Of course it would need some moderation but also if it is only for the higher stake tables probably it would make sense financially.
Casinos hire so many people to run live games, even for low stakes tables. Wouldn't it also be worth it to have a moderator as a second worker for high stakes ones? I think it would surely be possible and interesting to test out. Maybe players that want this would maybe end up playing on higher stakes just to be able to do a little talking.

I guess it doesn't hurt if they could test it out with few select players and get their honest feedback. They could go from there if they want to roll it out. Casinos could also make it an exclusive event for the high rollers so at least they could feel more special if they're the only ones who could use this feature.

If we talk about socializing with other gamblers, you can find casinos that have a chatbox feature so that gamblers can communicate with other gamblers. That won't stop them from sharing anything. Even if anyone wants to give a tip, they can share it via that chatbox. Many gamblers have taken advantage of the chatbox feature and chat with other gamblers. There may be a difference between physical casinos, where gamblers can chat with each other and see the person they are talking to, while this cannot be achieved in online casinos. But that's okay because at least the gamblers can still chat via chatbox.

It's not a bad suggestion, but I don't know how that would work out. I've seen a few casinos with an online chat, but it's often global, and there's a ton of messages with no logical flow or a topic of discussion. I personally wouldn't bother having small talk on an online gambling platform; I don't see much point, nor is there something specific, except the game in which you're both participating, to discuss. That could be just me, though, because I'm not participating in such live games, but perhaps it could be a nice addition, along with the feature of being able to add other people as friends and socialize.

The social aspects present in physical gambling cannot be matched by online gambling. While there are online casinos that allow interaction with other players through chat, it is not enough to rival the social interaction provided by a physical casino. I am not aware of or have not encountered an online casino with voice chat.

I believe that if an online casino were to incorporate such a feature, it could create a unique environment for players seeking a more social and immersive experience. It could also serve as a way for casinos to experiment with enhancing user engagement. While moderation and potential disruptions might pose a challenge, I think it can be addressed by giving users control to enable/disable or mute the voice chat feature.

Socialize in casino is a joke, gamblers walk into a casino with the hope of making money, even if they have to interact with strangers it will be for a minute, money is all on their mind, casino is not Facebook, if they need the socialization part there are many ways to do it, not in a casino, they can visit a coffee shop and talk to strangers, they can also use online video to make friends, there is time for everything.

Also don't you see that it will be distracting to gamble and to meet people? It only make sense if you are playing games that involves other gamblers, still, you don't want to let your guide down, because other player can take advantage of you easily.

I know it depends on who you are, some people do like the social aspect, that's why we will see sports fan going to watch matches with their friends or even strangers, I am not like this, I am more of an introvert, I will prefer to enjoy my games alone and that's why I don't even visit casinos apart from the risks side of located casinos.

Socializing during gambling is very important, however I havent experienced much of it, and frankly speaking was afraid to socialize when gambling offline at the beginning. I have little experience of gambling offline, but when I played poker, the only talk dealer made was game related. He was distracting on speaking on different topics, just announcing game aspects. In opposite, gamblers were talking all the time. And it really made me nervous, as all I was thinking about how not to lose, and thought that they were talking on purpose to distract me from game and force making mistakes. During online poker, I havent noticed that people chat a lot. During gambling online, I prefer either to turn off chat, or not watch at it at all. People talk there about everything except gambling, usually ask for tips or spam with "HI" or emotes.

The features of land base casino can never be compared with online casino because in land based casino or traditional way of gambling are too beneficial to it's users, with land based casino you can interact with almost everyone there and can share some common ideas together, I could remember a day I went to a local gambling shop to place few of my bets I didn't have funds to make deposits to my online gambling site then I took a walk down to the shops and I met some guys who were discussing over some matches.

I wanted to place my bet but I had to break down a bit to listen over their discussion it happens that a game I pick to place bet has change player and with their discussion there is a real knowledge that if I place that my game could cut off so I decided to change my option to other more favorable one.

Lesson; If that I didn't go to gamble in a local shop there isn't a way I could have known all these if not for involving in real discussion with people who always passes information across the local shops. Online casino would never have this advantage over land-based casino.

Not sure but have read some article that claim the dealers are some AI claiming to be human. Looking at the responses as you said, it doesn't sound like human or hold on to a conversation as humans do. However, not all casinos would implement an AI as a dealer, but the whole scenario looks quite boring compared to the offline casino. Although people want to communicate with others by seeing their facial reactions. The casino also provides chat boxes for gamblers to participate in a group chat with other players in the casino. Those chats are quite interesting and could keep a gambler busy for a reasonable period of time. We are expected to get what other online platforms would offer us in real sense. There've never been a time when online communication would be fun and better than physically talking and having fun with people.

A gambler that wants to discuss with other players, should visit the local casino near him and hold some conversation. Moreover, we all have friends that gamble. Depending on the online gamblers, may not be satisfactory enough for you. Personally, holding some gathering with other online gambler close-by could be a bit more fun than what we've got online. However, people are getting too attached to online activities compared to offline activities, which I think some day will have a diminishing return. Online communication in some sense is quite boring especially when the banters are not there or some thrilling stuffs. Online gamblers should look for fun near them in their environment or society. Neglecting that aspect of life may not be proper for a person who is into an emotional and mental intensive game like gambling.

Personally I don't have any  problems with these 2 conditions and can  still adapt to the circumstances. In this case for example several friends  gathered to watch the bet  I was playing. On the slot machine we even took turns  with each other and continued to communicate even while playing. The point is to just be happy and  not focus  too much on gambling to the point of ignoring the people around you. As long as my friends both like gambling  we actually create an exciting atmosphere as if we are competing with each other. Coming back to  the criteria of the person because there are some gamblers who don't  like gambling in large crowds whereas for me so far we can still control the situation we just need to adapt ourselves to the  atmosphere around us.

Depending on the site and the player's decision. When playing live table games, conversation with the dealer is mostly repetitive, limiting meaningful interaction. Having limited participants, the chat function may not engage in discussions. But it remains subjective and depends on the player's preferences.

Yes I agree with you, in my opinion although socializing or connecting with other people is always a good thing in building or strengthening relationships but I think this is not really needed in online gambling activities, I believe most gamblers will prioritize the bets they make over other things such as socializing with other users, like you said maybe it's just for the sake of small talk because in addition this is a type of online betting where even if you talk to other people there is still no chemistry that you feel and maybe this is also the reason for most of the gamblers involved, different if you gamble in an offline casino where you can really feel the family environment with other visitors who are there. I'm not saying I don't support this idea but most people probably already have other places they socialize and this gambling will only focus on the betting they do.

It is true that socializing online gambling does have several benefits, but don't take it seriously and just think of it as an interesting topic and entertainment when playing or being involved in online gambling. And I think it can bring people together, especially when playing in multiplayer mode or discussing strategy or other things that are not meant to be taken seriously. And most importantly, we must also be able to assess whether the socialization is good for us, or just mere lip service.
We must be able to consider socialization only as a form of entertainment and relaxation and only to unwind and relieve stress. And we can judge this socialization in online gambling for ourselves and if we are honest, because we are also serious and focused on our game, and socialization is just entertainment so that we don't get too carried away by the gambling atmosphere which makes us lose control.
If we compare online and offline gambling, it is clear that there are many differences and maybe we all know the differences, especially in terms of socialization. Offline gambling not only allows us to socialize in the real world, but we can also see their facial expressions and even touch them. ;D

Socializing at online gambling is inferior when compared to physical casinos, because it takes longer to write than to speak. So it's natural people will tend to talk less and in more abbreviated manners at online environments. Also, in most cases people are mainly at such places to gamble, and not to chat to each other... Therefore, it's not a very important demand from gamblers to have the social aspects of online platforms improved.

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.
I guess the solution would be to have a very limited number of players at a single table, besides allowing players to talk through voice as well, and not solely tipping on their keyboards. It would give a more fluid and natural conversation aspect to the gambling session, as the dealer wouldn't have to read anything in the chat anymore. That is the way to bring the social trait from physical casinos to the virtual ones efficiently. Furthermore, to create more chatrooms channels could also be an idea, although I think people still prefer the crowded single one, as it's there where whales share tips with gamblers fellows...

For me the social aspect of gambling really doesn't matter unless I'm playing with friends. I'll provide an example.  Let's say I'm playin in a Poker/Texas Hold'em tournament.  If I'm playing with a bunch of friends then of course it's more fun having a social aspect behind it, whether that means being in person, or playing online and all being connected to say a discord chat where we can discuss the game.  Otherwise if I'm playing poker at a physical casino, I really don't care much for conversing with others.  It sort of hurts my strategy.

For crypto online casinos some of them are created with anonymity so they can't really allow for so much of a socialization els the anonymous aspect of the site online will be defeated, socialization is much better with land casino. Some online casinos do have chat boxes where you can drop chat and have a chance to communicate with other players while still maintaining anonymity but if they should allow for any other form of socialization beyond the chat box communication then there will be no anonymity amongst players.

There are other online casinos who have good socialization platforms you can make use of such casinos if you so desire much socialization gambling but of you must use crypto casino be sure to experience more of anonymity.

Other than just chatbox or here in the forum socializing in this manner.
But usually, those players in the live poker games wouldn't chat either. If the dealer could just introduce a topic that can be answered by yes or no or just a question that can be answered by one to two words that would be enough to have fun.

One time I saw the chatbox of a casino was too busy all because of a question from one user asking who would we want to go to bed with among the celebrities of your age? And then someone answered Kim Cattrall. And so they know how old he is.

Do the gambling casinos, really care for our social aspects and do they care if we interact with other gamblers through chat or directly (in the case of physical gambling). Most of gambling sites will only focus on how they can make money and they do not care for the social benefits of gambling nor they are interested in the health of the gambler.

I also do not know if the purpose of the chat feature in the gambling site is that the gamblers interact with each other. I guess it is more that they chat along with gambling and this way they may stay a bit longer on the online gambling site and therefore gamble more. Some sites also often free money in the form of rain or bonus to the players who are active on chat.
Basically, the gambling sites' main target is that people wager more and therefore the gambling sites can make more money.

this reminds me that a few years ago, when poloniex was very popular, their chat was very active and we could all have good conversations about many topics, like some good news about an altcoin or some bad news about some altcoin, but after they removed the chat because they accused the people in the chat of running a pump and dump scheme, the exchange stopped having many people online constantly and consequently many people abandoned the site. in the case of poloniex there were many topics for us to talk about, this is because there were many altcoins listed and it was difficult for a single person to have access to news about all altcoins listed on poloniex, so some people knew about some altcoins, other people knew about other altcoins and so shared information they knew

This meant that more people had access to information. but when we look at the case of casinos the situation becomes more complex, because when many people are playing they need concentration, they don't need distractions like chatting. For example, someone who is placing sports bets, the person chooses the games, analyzes them and when choosing them, the person needs concentration to decide for themselves, they cannot keep looking at the chat and seeing comments about the teams of football and then place bets based on the comments of those people in the chat, this would be a very serious mistake that no one should make

Another case is for example when people are playing cards, they need concentration to observe all the movements of the opponents, talking would not help the players, on the contrary it would harm them, after the game is over then people can go relax and talk somewhere restaurant, I don't see any problem with that, on the contrary it will be good for people. We always need to remember that we are playing with money, even if it is an amount that we can afford to lose, so we need to focus and fight to win and make a profit whenever possible.

Are you in casino to socialize or you there to do 2+2 to get 4 or get -2? Or you are there to do 2+2 =fun. This is what I think gambling casino is all about in online casino, if you want to socialize there are other platforms like Telegram where people discussed about casino stuffs and have fun, I think Twitch is another place people socialize especially gamers and you can even make you of Discord, it is more fun in Discord as a gambler to chat and get to meet your friends that like the same games.

I think Casino don't do this or make chatting too complex because of the extra space will require them to put those file. Imagine a casino as a platform been hosted with huge amount of money and then spend extra cost to fund this chatting, it wouldn't make sense to them.
The second reason might be for privacy and protection of each customers. They don't want a situation where one player will influence another person, they also don't want people information to be made available through their platform. It's better you do your social gambling outside the casino.

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.
When it comes to social aspects then expect that it would really be that totally different on which there's no way that it would really be that similar or would really be that comparable into those people who do really
play into those local or physical places on which you could really be able to deal with. It would always boils down into someones interest if we do speak about this on which we do know that not all would really be that
having that kind of preference when it comes on playing gambling. In my part then im a type of person who is really that introvert on which i dont like those kind of socialization with other people on the time that it would be playing gambling on which it would really be just fine if i dont have any social interactions with other players online because i could be able to play without minding with those kind of talking and interacting
into other people as long i do make myself having that leisure time then this what matter the most.

I think it's just a matter of choice, as we know that there are two types of gambling which are online and offline, let's put it simply that if people (gamblers) want their gambling activities to involve socializing with other people then I think it's easy they just have to go to a physical casino where the atmosphere is quite crowded, You can come face to face with other patrons and perhaps build a rapport by chatting to increase your socialization with others or with the aim of making new friends, and if socialization is something you don't really need such as you are an introvert and don't like crowds then obviously you can engage in this type of online gambling by just focusing on your bets and not being bothered by others.

I think it seems that the purpose of online casinos is to balance what the general public needs, it's easier for them and can make gamblers more focused in their gambling involvement, after all I don't think that all gamblers always want to socialize, but yes it's a pretty good idea for online casinos to build active chat facilities with other gamblers, and can make it easier for gamblers who want to gamble with socialization involved to not bother going to physical casinos.

Online casino was made for privacy and not for socialization, and this is why you see that even people that gambles secretly are safe, since nobody will know if they are gambling or not. We shouldn't also forget that it was during the period of Covid-19 that online casino started getting popular and gamblers finds it more convenient to use, because you can gamble at any time that you are free in your house or anywhere.

Anyone that needs to socialize as he is gambling should use a physical base casino where you will have all the socialization that you want. You can also gamble with friends as that is the only way one can socialize when he is gambling online. Sometimes, when I am gambling, I don't like talking so that I don't get distracted.

It is different from the physical gambling but I think that in online gambling it can become better.It can become better in the sense that if you win big,no one knows but you can call friends and invite them to a pizza just for the sake of doing it,you can also go for dinner with your girlfriend or wife and the level of stress when playing online gambling is much better.When you play in a physical casino and you lose a lot the level of sadness and rage cannot be hidden from the people around you while when you gamble all alone no one would notice anything except your wife or closest relatives.That is that online gambling when you win it can boost your social aspect and I think it is better this way.

For me the social aspect of gambling really doesn't matter unless I'm playing with friends. I'll provide an example.  Let's say I'm playin in a Poker/Texas Hold'em tournament.  If I'm playing with a bunch of friends then of course it's more fun having a social aspect behind it, whether that means being in person, or playing online and all being connected to say a discord chat where we can discuss the game.  Otherwise if I'm playing poker at a physical casino, I really don't care much for conversing with others.  It sort of hurts my strategy.
The social aspect in gambling is not fun compared to when you are gambling physically with friends.. although there are games that do not allow us to gamble with computers alone, they have option to gamble like a real world with other players. There it can be fun when the two or more players are trying their best to earn something from the bet. It is not like a game like the house will determine who will win.

Here we can have enough social gambling vibes with other really players not computer or bots. The place where we can get social media gambling experience is when we go on Twitter, Meta and other social media to talk about our wins and loses, also getting games we can bet on.

There is definitely a positive side to this. I wouldn't want to sit in a casino in a small town when everyone around me will know when I win and word of it will spread faster than I can reach my home.

When it comes to online gambling and chat, many people really like to chat there and share their winnings and losses. Some sit there so constantly that it replaces their communication in real life. As for me, I rarely place bets, so I have no need to chat with other players. Moreover, since I have little time, I usually close the chat to concentrate on the game itself. I would recommend doing this too and only then going into the chat, where you can also find valuable advice that experienced players have gone through.

Firstly, I have never visited a land-based casino because there are no such things as land-based casinos where I live, so I cannot comment further on this matter. But when it comes to online casinos, I personally visit them quite often. When gambling at online casinos, I really focus on playing the game and pay attention to every card that comes out. When gambling, I don't feel any warm chat at all. because all players focus on their gambling. And what's more, in online casinos we don't know each other, so when I started chatting it felt a little awkward.
It's different when I gamble with friends, where it seems like we are more focused on chatting and joking than the gambling itself. And what I remember is not the gambling game, but the warm chat. Personally, I really miss these moments because we haven't seen each other for a long time, because everyone has their own busy lives.

There is no real socialisation in online gambling. The fun and real bonding happens in physical gambling. A good number of my friends are people I met in the gambling shop, and our relationship has gone beyond gambling.

There is a type of gamble called pools that is popular in my country. At the centres where this is done are where you will hear the latest gists in town. We discuss practically about everything, from politics to spots and even real business. Those who have not visited a gambling shop before may not know that gambling can be likened to a culture that has it's uniqueness. Like I said before, physical shop is where real socialisation happens and not online.

I do not like the social aspects of physical gambling casinos anymore. They were still good in the 90s but now... It just is not the same.

Nowadays physical gambling environments have been sterilized to the point where its just as fun as to stay home and play on your own screen on some online gambling casino. You still can have social interactions. Ironically you will find better social interactions through the internet than in some mostly-empty physical casino. At least that is how things are in my country. But I guess these things can differ from country to country and culture to culture.

online casinos are not only for introverts but also for gamblers who are always on the go and they find it very convenient for them to just access the site basically from anywhere they are on the globe or at the very comfort of their home.
this very perks is why a lot of gamblers are having their good times even if they are alone playing. though it is nice if you can visit offline casinos from time to time. but i guess, times are changing. a lot of these new gen gamblers are already using online gambling platforms.

i believe, the experience is still different in physical casinos like in Macau or Vegas. definitely, there are so many people not only gamblers but people from all walks of life. but it is understandable if more and more people are finding some comfort just by using these online sites. i guess, it really depends on the mood of the player. in some instances, you just want to go out and observe people. whereas, if you want to focus with your bets, you will prefer to be in front of your computer or your gadget.

Physical Vs online casinos are like night and day. The difference is huge. For physical casinos, maybe except slot games etc, the social element is often the most important factor for people to come there. That's especially true nowadays when everyone has access to online gambling at any time, so the only reason to bother to go to a physical casino is to meet other people.
The social element online is often lacking or non-existent, although there are exceptions, e.g. some poker sites or some smaller dice sites when people interact in chats and get to know each other overtime.

If social interactions are what you're looking for, I'd be looking for such outside of gambling. There are plenty of other, healthier activities where you could meet people.

It is definitely lacking without a doubt, when you sit at a regular table in a casino the socializing aspect is way more prominent, since even if there are a few people out there that seem to be completely focusing on the games, the majority is there just for the fun they can obtain out of the games, and this means they are very open to talk to you and make new friends just as you are, however in most online casinos this is difficult to do as the games are faster and communicating with each other is less natural than what you can find at regular casinos.

Even me doesnt really like on having those kind of distractions on the time that i do gamble on which i do even not that having that kind of behavior on which making up some chats with other people on the chatbox.

Somehow this would really be actually depending on a certain person because there are ones who are really that wants to interact with other people even when  they are just playing online.
Just like the rest been saying that there are ones who are really that wants to be alone and there are ones who do really have that want to have some chat with other people.

This is actually that depending or basing up on a certain personality of a certain person since we do know that each person would really be that different in different aspects.
Although it wont really be that much of an issue since people could really have their own full choice on where they would really be playing.
Some wants to be on facing up personally and there are ones who do really love online.

~snip~

For online casinos, I think it will be very difficult to increase socialization between players and dealers because of the large number of gamblers playing at the same time. One of the alternatives provided by online casinos is a chatroom which can be used for discussions between gamblers, telling stories about everything from strategy, wins to losses. But unfortunately many gamblers spam to get rain or drops from the casino

I sometimes enjoy chatting in online casino chat rooms because there I can sometimes vent my frustration when I lose or my excitement when I win. I have online friends at several online casinos and sometimes we share small tip when we win. It was quite fun

I rarely chat with other gamblers because I gamble to fill my free time, and if I get involved in conversations with people in the casino, I might forget about the time and money I have prepared. Perhaps for other people, it is also a pleasure because we chat with other people after we have been gambling for a while and release the tension that we get after gambling.

If there are requests from customers about how to socialize with other gamblers in the casino, maybe the casino will add new features so that customers can gain knowledge that is not related to gambling. This will make them more comfortable when playing gambling at the casino because they rest after getting pleasure from gambling.

A window of socialization in online crypto gambling can be a distraction that can cost gamblers losing extra money from what they are currently losing to the house, the discussions will not flow that with that of on land casinos. Verbal discussions and that of typing a keyboard from different ends are obviously not same, an i can't wrap my head around to figuring out the essence of attaching a socializing section to the online gambling.

 If a gambler wanna socialized he gotta go make use of on-land casinos, as the online imposters and mediocres may use the means to starts giving stupid deceptive professional gambling predictions and advise. safer to chat with whom you are seeing face-to-face than some random dude online

There's too much negativity in online chats than it is with physical chats in physical casinos. I like talking to real people in real-time more than with online chats. What I found out in online chat was, that people tend to be too brave because they know they can say anything they want without the fear of someone punching their face all of a sudden. I've stayed for a while in one online chat with a favorite sports bookie and I saw how mad people are in terms of socializing. Bad way of talking although no bad words because the chat rules won't let it enter, and then there are people who think they are superior to others just because they have a higher VIP rank, and others suddenly pop out in madness because they had a losing streak without RTP coming out.
It was way different when I was in a poker room back then. More laughs and giggles, and we are all happy chatting with each other because we are enjoying the company. That cannot be done in online gambling, socializing there lacks something, the eye to eye contact to see if the person is telling the truth or lying.

Yes, besides of having another cost or hire someone for the chat's moderation, it's another resources to be considered on what kind of server should a casino be using especially for a casino that has hundred of thousands or even millions of users.

Some old casinos has this, with features like some tipping, but they have limited users not hundred of thousands. Although it was fun having it, chatting some users but sometimes you can't unseen the negativity there.

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

Many players fall into this category of players who love to socialize while playing as they do at physical casinos, they love to do this to relax while betting, we all know it is always high risk when we bet, some players turn on the sound to relax, some chat on social media but it's different when done in the casino platform with fellow players who you choose to chat.

This is a big difference between online and offline casinos, on offline casinos you can enjoy conversations because you are face-to-face with other players and bystanders there are gamblers who play little in casinos they are just there for the ambiance.

Maybe some casinos will pick this idea and install not only a group chat but also a peer-to-peer chat, who knows we'll see this feature in the future they have to keep their players online, and a peer-to-peer chat is such a good idea so players can chat with a player of their choosing and share tips and methods.
I'm not very active on chats I am more concentrated on my games even though there are platforms I'm playing that are giving tips that I'm missing.

I think it's also matter of "space" people behind a laptop for a betting "are just few". meanwhile people that can follow a bet in a corner or behind a table in a casino are much much more!
I think that we must divide two kinds of betting: play for fun (ok social betting), play to have profit (then we need to stay focused so play alone it's the best).

Social life isn’t really an objective part to online gambling. It wasn’t very much of the focus about this although, there have been some improvements in the field as, you can have a near staff experience with the bots available on the sites, designed to be as real as possible.

Most users that prefer online gambling does so mainly because of the convenience it provides and you don’t have to mind who’s seated next to you or what your stakes would be perceived as, as well as your losses/profit. Everything stays confidential and you’re good.

Still, physical gambling has got a social aspect of it that makes you want to seat around, have a bear or some bottles of whisky, some fine ass staff here and there, music and a lot of other fun stuff that I wouldn’t want to mention.

This will still depend on what personality a gambler has. There are a lot of gamblers who want to play online because, for a certain reason, they don't like socialising. Some people are what we call introverts; they don't want to socialise too much; they rather stay alone most of the time while doing what they want.

But of course, for gamblers who like to socialise, physical casinos are the most suitable for them, or in online casinos, there should be interaction between players, but it's being limited by most casinos because it might start a not-so-good conversation between players if the battle or match is heated. So I think it's good to have player-to-player communication in some online casinos, but it's limited to avoid not-so-good interactions between them.

But for me, I prefer not to, because I like more gambling games that I would play against the system or players, but I prefer not to have concern or interaction as I want to focus as long as I want.

But of course, for gamblers who like to socialise, physical casinos are the most suitable for them, or in online casinos, there should be interaction between players, but it's being limited by most casinos because it might start a not-so-good conversation between players if the battle or match is heated. So I think it's good to have player-to-player communication in some online casinos, but it's limited to avoid not-so-good interactions between them.

But for me, I prefer not to, because I like more gambling games that I would play against the system or players, but I prefer not to have concern or interaction as I want to focus as long as I want.
Maybe online gamblers prefer to gamble rather than socialize when they gamble because, according to them, they cannot focus on the gambling game, and it can cause them to lose. It will disturb them from gambling so they prefer not to socialize. And it depends on each gambler so they will decide.

Yes, physical casinos are suitable gambling places for those who want to socialize so they can meet other gamblers. They can chat while gambling and of course, it can give them pleasure in gambling. Maybe that can enable them to make new friends in gambling so that they can contact each other if they want to gamble. And maybe they will hold a small competition between them in gambling so that it will give them different pleasures.

I haven't been gambling for too long without using online casinos as a place to socialize because I come to casinos just to gamble. And after finishing gambling, I immediately left the casino. If I want to socialize, I will always visit my friends and chat.

Online casino was made for privacy and not for socialization, and this is why you see that even people that gambles secretly are safe, since nobody will know if they are gambling or not. We shouldn't also forget that it was during the period of Covid-19 that online casino started getting popular and gamblers finds it more convenient to use, because you can gamble at any time that you are free in your house or anywhere.

Anyone that needs to socialize as he is gambling should use a physical base casino where you will have all the socialization that you want. You can also gamble with friends as that is the only way one can socialize when he is gambling online. Sometimes, when I am gambling, I don't like talking so that I don't get distracted.
I will add that online casinos are suitable for introverts who don't like socializing. They prefer to stay in the comfort of their home and place bets. Most of these shy people are not concerned about socialization and are comfortable not relating with anybody online. However, I am not insinuating that online casinos are not suitable for people who are extroverts that is why many casinos tend to make provisions for interaction between gamblers but it is not still enough to facilitate socialization. But if you want to get the best entertainment and socialization from gambling, use physical casinos. In such places, you will have the privilege to meet people and even make some friends. Some casinos have spots for drinking and this also facilitates socialization.

 Even though most of these online casinos  have chat rooms and forums where the players sometimes share ideas between themselves, the level of interaction there cannot be compared to a physical casino where the interaction and socialisation is high. When ever I visit any online casino, socialisation doesn't come on my mind and I believe many people fall under this category too. The main focus is to gamble and that's all. If a gambler wishes to socialize while gambling, a land casino becomes an option.  But if he cannot access any land casino or he is just an introvert, then the casino chatrooms or forums are there for him.
Both online and physical casinos have their good sides and bad sides, and it depends on the bettor on what they will always like which also depends on the personality of the bettor. Some of us are introverts while others are extroverts, and some even combine the two fairly which is the category I belong to. It also depends on the mood at times, you might want to do your thing alone at times and still go to bed or find other engagements thereafter. But at times, it might be to do the opposite and go to the casino house to interact with people, drink and see a lot with your own eyes to have the fun to the fullest.

Any of it we pick, I believe that it will fulfil the task/want for us at that time and it is all about happiness here. Personally, I love the two, not minding the cons in them, and I have tried them times without numbers, but it is better stated that online gambling will ever be more for us since we are closer to our gadget which is the housing unit of it, so we do it more, and even if I visit the physical gambling house at times, it is for the fun because I love my privacy still, unless the kind that I can't do online or that it might not matter if I do it online or offline. Above all, let's continue to do whatever we are pleased it, especially what gives us unending joy about our gambling lifestyle. We should only not get addicted to anything but keep utilising gambling to our advantage and having fun where possible.

I agree with you, socialization between offline casinos and physical casinos is very different, because it is impossible for it to be equally equal, even though in online casinos there is a chat feature or there is a chat room but it will be very different, because in my opinion it will be limited, even I think it will probably never happen. because online casino gambling is based on them playing it themselves using a cellphone or PC, and I think they tend to do it themselves in a place that they want and makes them comfortable.

but with a physical casino they can meet lots of people to interact with each other, and that way I think they will more or less make new friends, starting with small talk about gambling or other things to potentially becoming friends. also with the large number of people in offline casinos, in my opinion those who step into offline casinos or go there do not only aim to gamble, but just to look around, or just to socialize, although I don't know that offline casinos allow everyone to enter without requirements or only specifically for people who really want to gamble. It's true what you said, if a gambler wants to gamble and socialize, then offline casino gambling is the right choice. But for those who are introverts, they can gamble online, which is also easy for everyone to access, as long as they understand the steps.

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

Social aspects of online gambling

I took some test online between Introvert and Extrovert and the result is I am a Introvert person but when I play card example is Black jack I choose to talk other people even tho is small talk I mean do card without talking feel so different in my opinion.

But it only happens occasionally sometimes I want a piece of quiet and when this comes I just play the House game Black Jack to pure computer without real people in it.

I rarely chat with other gamblers because I gamble to fill my free time, and if I get involved in conversations with people in the casino, I might forget about the time and money I have prepared. Perhaps for other people, it is also a pleasure because we chat with other people after we have been gambling for a while and release the tension that we get after gambling.
But sometimes interacting with other gamblers is quite fun and can give us additional experience.
In gambling, having lot of experience will be very useful so we also need something called sharing experiences with other gamblers.
It just that some people may also be active in the gambling site chat room, they don't know each other but it very fun and can reduce the level of mental stress when experiencing several losing bets.
It just that if in the real world or land-based casinos we really need to limit ourselves because there are several groups that might influence our mindset and they will have bad impacts such as making us uncontrollable with several invitations to bet excessively.
We must be wise in choosing groups or people in gambling because not all of them can have positive impact.

Quote
If there are requests from customers about how to socialize with other gamblers in the casino, maybe the casino will add new features so that customers can gain knowledge that is not related to gambling. This will make them more comfortable when playing gambling at the casino because they rest after getting pleasure from gambling.
I don't understand the new features that the casino might provide, but if it just for resting then we can improve the gambling site.
It just that if you really want to rest by having social interaction with other gamblers, it will be as easy as sitting at table and chatting with each other.
And for online casinos, can do as I mentioned before, namely entering the chat room.

Well that would be kinda hard for your side since most of the people who gamble online, doesn't really look for socializing when playing. And probably most of the reason why they choose to gamble online is because they don't want to socialize and maintain small talks only. In my case as an online gambler, I just want to focus on playing and doesn't really look for someone to talk to while gambling.

While on the other hand, physical casinos are more on socializing and making connection with other people inside the casino. If you want to gamble and socialize at the same time, maybe you can do it with sports betting and then join groups or channel in discord.

Post by: Jody.Drummer on January 17, 2024, 01:11:42 PM
Well, I don't think it's really for "socializing" because the majority for sure is only small talk if you don't know the person. If you do know, you won't have time to even talk to them I think. It's better to find somewhere else to socialize if you were to want to "touch grass" or something like that.

I feel like you want some social media aspect in casinos. That may be a new idea or something. Please credit me with the idea lol  :o

Yes I agree with you, in my opinion although socializing or connecting with other people is always a good thing in building or strengthening relationships but I think this is not really needed in online gambling activities, I believe most gamblers will prioritize the bets they make over other things such as socializing with other users, like you said maybe it's just for the sake of small talk because in addition this is a type of online betting where even if you talk to other people there is still no chemistry that you feel and maybe this is also the reason for most of the gamblers involved, different if you gamble in an offline casino where you can really feel the family environment with other visitors who are there. I'm not saying I don't support this idea but most people probably already have other places they socialize and this gambling will only focus on the betting they do.
It is true that socializing online gambling does have several benefits, but don't take it seriously and just think of it as an interesting topic and entertainment when playing or being involved in online gambling. And I think it can bring people together, especially when playing in multiplayer mode or discussing strategy or other things that are not meant to be taken seriously. And most importantly, we must also be able to assess whether the socialization is good for us, or just mere lip service.
We must be able to consider socialization only as a form of entertainment and relaxation and only to unwind and relieve stress. And we can judge this socialization in online gambling for ourselves and if we are honest, because we are also serious and focused on our game, and socialization is just entertainment so that we don't get too carried away by the gambling atmosphere which makes us lose control.
If we compare online and offline gambling, it is clear that there are many differences and maybe we all know the differences, especially in terms of socialization. Offline gambling not only allows us to socialize in the real world, but we can also see their facial expressions and even touch them. ;D

Well and it seems that this can be useful to relieve a little fatigue when we have just experienced a defeat like you said and this is quite reasonable friend, Because maybe we can chat a little just for the sake of small talk like for example tattle with other gamblers and ask "are you lucky today" this could be chosen and done by some gamblers because honestly I also feel that I need a little socialization with others when I lose or am quite upset at least even if it's just small talk but this is enough to make ourselves a little entertainment or relaxation even though basically as I said before that there is no chemistry that we feel if we just chat doing the chat feature.

Right, so the point is that online gambling as a whole can make us more focused in the gambling activities that we do and if only casinos create or realize chat features for socialization for gamblers then I think this also clearly has benefits and you have said it one of them is to relieve fatigue when the situation is not good - okay due to defeat, it seems like a good idea for casinos.

In the world of gambling, in general many people view actions and situations as worrying, especially in the social field, there are many aspects that can be symbolized and can be understood, it depends on the social environment in which we are.

The majority's view of social life is generally religious, of course the aspects that arise are negative and if the majority's life is social, of course the aspects of gambling that arise are normal, in fact there is social pride, but the point is that as long as online gambling is growing now, of course in my opinion it is normal without any striking aspects, it has become entertainment and pride for those who gamble at online casinos.

Having never tried physical gambling, I don't know about the interaction, let alone the actual socialization aspect.

In client gambling I don't really socialize much because for me it has become a comfort for an introvert maybe only the aspect of the social chatroom that is in gambling but that's not entirely socialization because we know the object there is often random and difficult to understand from the beginning.

So I don't have a lot of interaction in online gambling we just stay in the room and do the game quietly there is also socialization outside we don't talk much because we know gambling is more of a worry aspect in the circle so we never talk this.

Everyone was busy with their own gambling, even when they sat at the same table, I didn't hear any warm conversation or just small talk. Likewise when talking about online gambling, when I find a friend sitting next to me and he is gambling online, let alone talk and joke. I tried asking, he didn't answer at all. and as for one word he said to me, that word made me feel a little hurt, where he spoke in a high tone and told me to be quiet for a while and just wait until the gambling was over.

In both cases, for me, socialization has a lot to do with what I want to achieve, for me it is very easy to talk to people, regardless of the environment, because I have that, but there are people who are very introverted and it is difficult for them to do so. socialize, but in these two things for people who are this introverted, but things can be easier to play in an online casino and make friends there, I am not one of those who starts looking, sometimes they come to me talk to me, it's not like I'm playing all day, every day, in physical ways, those activities are also presented.

For introverted people in casinos that are offline, it is difficult for them, they are always quiet and only speak what is necessary, sometimes they are not liked because it is thought that they only seek their own interest and not fraternize, sometimes it is good to have friends, to be able to have The more options for help in any activity, is what I have learned, the more friends, the better.

Social aspects of online gambling may exist in pvp based games such as poker but of course the communication will be limited to chat messages.
Maybe in the future there will be poker game where players need to open their camera so players can see other player's face like what they can see in real poker game.
Nowadays we can see most casinos has chatroom, it can be one of the social aspects we find in online gambling but what I can see is that now most chat rooms are now full of spams only especially if the casino has a lot of online chatters.
Maybe some casino has a feature like "add friends" so it can be the next level of social things in the casino so players can send private message to their friend list.

Socializing and building interpersonal relationship skill through gambling, can't be gotten online. Another advantage of offline casino, spotted. A gambler who engages in playing games online and wishes to have some fun with other players, have no other option than visiting the physical casinos. Where he'd meet follow gamblers and share ideas. However, when we want it online at all costs. One could begin to enjoy the fun of chatting online on special interest boards relating to gambling. It mustn't be some popular platforms like discord, though it helps, but I think if one does their research, they would be able to find a fun conducive platform for gamblers, where they can have some virtual conversation online and see each other's faces. Looking at Op's idea, he's mainly concerned about the live games where he'd see other players.

But he's not comfortable with the fact that they'll hardly have a sound conversation. The online casino is quite growing and may become more fun in future, depending on the number of people who wish to make it a better place than the offline casino. Like I said, nothing beats physical conversation with other gamblers. It's very fun and worths the time spent in a casino. One could get a new network of friends. But looking at the response of most people only few gamblers care about having fun with other players online. The motive is to gamble and move on. It's more like ordering some products online, they're things we'll still need to get in the grocery store next to our home. We can't have it all online. Life is mainly sweeter offline, and gamblers know this, so swapping it would be fine.

Online gambling socialization among players is out of point. The few casinos I have gambled, I have not seen anyone who discussed with another person but in physical gambling centers and when you have placed your gambling and if you feel like to stay back to discuss with fellow members about any topic, they can discuss and wait for outcome of the game. But in online gambling, as you placed your bet, you login and do another thing because there no one to discuss with there. But I don't know if other casinos which I have not used have that chatting feature among gamblers. And if it is not, they should add it because it will make gamblers more busy online and learn new things.

Your only option is the chat feature of the casino but I don't think it is enough, this is the weak point of online casinos they lack the socializing feature of the physical casinos, so you'll have to fully concentrate on your game so it works for introvert gamblers.

The spate of online gambling has brought in more of having privacy in gambling than when we consider the social benefits it gives, here you will have to gamble online with the way you want, how you want and when you wanted to without having any form of distractions, with your gambling, but when we are talking about the way people go with the physical gambling, there's much of gamblers interactions in it than we see with online, but talking about the overall assessment, we are more concerned about what we actually want and how it has impact on the way we all gamble, which makes the online casino crypto gambling have more gamblers than the physical gambling casinos.

I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.
It's a good to have but not necessarily something that you'd be clapping your hands to the casino for if it were to be implemented. As crwth mentioned it's not like users will go actively out of their way to chat strangers even if they become so bored or so lonely from the gambling journey, so it's not that much big of a deal to implement in the first place.

However, I think a social aspect that every casino should have is the ability to add friends and actively chat with them within their premises. Some casino-goers would rather keep their identities within the casino inside there, for privacy purposes. Having a chat feature that doesn't require them to use any other third-party application greatly increases the usability of the site, from the usual gambling and dipping to gambling, chatting some of your friends to wish them a good luck, and then dipping. And for some people this will work wonders as it reduces the chances of them getting scammed, or their identities in the gambling site being used for the same manner. It's a win-win however I look at it.

Still, the need for chat features honestly pales in comparison to larger issues that gambling sites face today. One of which being complex terms and conditions that shouldn't even be that way in the first place. They should first focus on giving high quality of play features within their casinos before they jump into stuff like these in my opinion.

I don't think they will add or they can add although online casinos promote themselves as an entertainment portal adding a socializing feature is not their business, even if they can add social features like we're seeing on Facebook they will not do that, it will become a distraction for players, they are a betting site, casinos want you to use their platform not to socialize, they are not an advertising platform like all the social media where they make money from posting ads while their users are socializing.
This is the reason why physical casinos will not become obsolete or out of style they cater to gamblers who love to socialize and gamble, something online casinos cannot offer.

This is definitely spot on.

I have visited tons of online gambling platforms but there seems to be a lack of socialization platforms within the website in order to interact with the fellow gamblers. Maybe the reason on why only a few casinos have implemented this is because to avoid any form of toxicity or solicitation from random people?

Maybe this also focuses on the reason on why people gamble. If they want to socialize, I guess people would just visit physical casinos than to interact with people on an online platform. Maybe another factor here is on how the online casino creates a UI with friendly and easy controls for people to socialize with.

In my opinion for those gamblers who need socialization there are land-based casinos and cruise ship casinos. There you can always find someone with whom you can spend a good time for a pleasant conversation. In extreme cases, you can always invite friends to your home and play the same poker or other gambling card game.

Online games do not need to be socialized. They are designed for something else - a quick opportunity to play gambling having at hand a smartphone or laptop with an Internet connection.

Right, so I think it's just a matter of choice, as we know there are two types of gambling which are online and offline and for the socialization issue obviously a gambler can maximize it in the offline type of gambling because as you already said that there they can always find other people or visitors who are also trying their luck at the same time, you can make a lot of friends or maybe get some useful references in or out of the gambling field.

So the point is that casinos have provided easier choices and you have the freedom to choose, however each casino has its own advantages, online casinos make it easy for anyone to gamble anytime and anywhere unlimited by only using intermediaries such as cellphones or laptops, you manage it yourself as long as you have money to bet. And for offline casinos, obviously the way gambling works is real, meaning that you gamble through real gambling tools and in terms of the atmosphere is clearly different, which as we said above, you can meet many visitors there and I think this is the right choice if your goal is more towards socialization activities to build good relationships with many people directly, and this is an option.

I don't think they're lacking behind for communicating as they didn't put that in mind when creating online casino as most individual that use online casino are doing that for privacy and comfort. They don't want to socialize while gambling and that's why they didn't use the physical casino. I don't want more to be done to how we communicate online at the moment so we don't lose our privacy and other benefits of online casino that we're enjoy at the moment.

If you want to socialize, there are many other things that you can do to social and if you only want to socialize while gambling, go and use the traditional casino. Online casino don't need more things to be done. The chat box or the live box where some gamblers can discuss is okay. For casino that don't have a chat box that gamblers can use to chat with eachother they can add that to their casino and that's okay.

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

I don't think they're lacking behind for communicating as they didn't put that in mind when creating online casino as most individual that use online casino are doing that for privacy and comfort. They don't want to socialize while gambling and that's why they didn't use the physical casino. I don't want more to be done to how we communicate online at the moment so we don't lose our privacy and other benefits of online casino that we're enjoy at the moment.

If you want to socialize, there are many other things that you can do to social and if you only want to socialize while gambling, go and use the traditional casino. Online casino don't need more things to be done. The chat box or the live box where some gamblers can discuss is okay. For casino that don't have a chat box that gamblers can use to chat with eachother they can add that to their casino and that's okay.
True, for sure to those people who do make use of crypto gambling sites are the ones who are really that putting up focus when it comes to privacy and accessibility on which it is true that they wont really be minding about having those social interactions or whatsoever on the time that they would really be doing gambling on which they would really be focusing on playing without needing on paying up attention
in regarding about chit chatting with other people and this is why it doesnt really matter much on what are the things that they are involved into as long they could be able to play
without having those kind of worries on exposing their identities.

When it comes to social interactions then if they were really that interested of it in the first place, then you wont really be that making yourself
be that sticking into online gambling but rather you would really be going into physical ones. Its a matter of choice and preference in the end of the day.
There are really just that people has always something have to say.

Online gambling socialization among players is out of point. The few casinos I have gambled, I have not seen anyone who discussed with another person but in physical gambling centers and when you have placed your gambling and if you feel like to stay back to discuss with fellow members about any topic, they can discuss and wait for outcome of the game. But in online gambling, as you placed your bet, you login and do another thing because there no one to discuss with there. But I don't know if other casinos which I have not used have that chatting feature among gamblers. And if it is not, they should add it because it will make gamblers more busy online and learn new things.
Even if we do speak about to those people who are playing gambling online and made out some chats on the chatbox which it isnt really that totally the same when you are really that
having some interaction personally or face to face with other fellow members. This is why there are really some people whom do really love on sticking on playing on physical places
just because they do really love on playing and making out interactions on which they do really interested with that aside on making some entertainment with gambling.
There are ones who are really that skeptical on playing because of these aspects but just like said it will really always falls down on someones preference.

When a casino becomes super popular it's hard to chat... but in the beginning, when there are not so many active players chatting can be interesting, especially if there are some contests for some small prizes. I had the chance to be one of the first players in many casinos, and it's interesting to compete with a few people and chat with them.

Social aspects of online gambling may exist in pvp based games such as poker but of course the communication will be limited to chat messages.
Maybe in the future there will be poker game where players need to open their camera so players can see other player's face like what they can see in real poker game.

It's interesting to chat with other poker players, especially if know each other from before... but it's interesting when things become hot, when some crazy turns are happening on the table, and we all jump in with comments. That's is kinda enough thrill for me, I wouldn't like to play poker with an activated cam and look at other players. I don't feel it's my thing.

Online interactions are totally different than in physical interactions. I think most of the gamblers in an online casino doesn't want to socialize that much, so the online casinos didn't prioritize this feature. However, it is still an advantage if an online casino will put a friends list that would let the user sent private messages to other people. But then again, most gamblers in the online casino does not want to socialize but to gamble. Those who chose to socialize and wants to have fun while gambling will definitely going to visit physical casinos. That explains why most prestigious casinos are tied with five star hotels, because they want their target market to enjoy the ambiance and gamble mindlessly.

But the need to make it a fun place for communication, may not be as expected by some gamblers who wants the communication features available. On the long run, we could be seeing some casino who would adjust things and make availability for a better fun platform. Yet it wouldn't make many changes since the aim of other gambler is to gamble and chat using the chatbox. Any other feature one needs could be gotten on social media platforms. Nothing else can be done to change the way online gamblers communicate with one another. It must be on screen. We cannot feel or touch them, hence the virtual reality we seem to get isn't proper fun compared to what physical casinos provide for gamblers. However, the physical casino is fun, but people still mind their businesses. It's not like all people go there to do is socializing.

The only fun part of physical casinos is when we go together with our close friends, we'll enjoy the games. However, those who came alone can at least discuss with some experts who may want to help them with new strategies. Or argue with them about their prediction being wrong. And they need to try something else. You'd never have a substantial conversation with someone you just met, like you do with an old-time friend. So, an online gambler that wants to have fun like he's in a physical casino, can invite his friends over to his house to gamble with him and share ideas together. No other difference. Aside seeing people, some can go to the physical casino and still go back home not entertained by the people they see in the place. The person needs to know how to hold conversation and possess a good communication skill.

But sometimes interacting with other gamblers is quite fun and can give us additional experience.
In gambling, having lot of experience will be very useful so we also need something called sharing experiences with other gamblers.
It just that some people may also be active in the gambling site chat room, they don't know each other but it very fun and can reduce the level of mental stress when experiencing several losing bets.
It just that if in the real world or land-based casinos we really need to limit ourselves because there are several groups that might influence our mindset and they will have bad impacts such as making us uncontrollable with several invitations to bet excessively.
We must be wise in choosing groups or people in gambling because not all of them can have positive impact.
Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.

~snip~
I don't understand the new features that the casino might provide, but if it just for resting then we can improve the gambling site.
It just that if you really want to rest by having social interaction with other gamblers, it will be as easy as sitting at table and chatting with each other.
And for online casinos, can do as I mentioned before, namely entering the chat room.
I don't understand it myself, but if they want to take a break from gambling, it's better for them to immediately leave the casino so that they don't want to gamble again. That would be better because from telling each other stories, there may be a desire to continue gambling. After all, you are curious about what they are telling you. Chatting in the chat room will depend on each person, and there is no pressure to stay there.

I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

It honestly depends on the players, dealer and environment.  Some tables I've been at it's been a blast between the players and the dealer and others where it's very serious.  Mood even from table to table is very different.  I tend to gravitate towards the noise in the casino as its more entertaining than just sitting there grinding.

And if you are a type of person who doesnt really like on doing things on solo or in quiet then for sure you would really be that preferred on making use or would really be dealing up with physical casinos.
It would really be that actually be depending on someones preference because there are people who doesnt really like a noisy ambiance and there were people who does really like for them to make themselves on getting entertained more. Socialization is one of the best things when you do gamble on which it could really be acquire through on going into those physical places on which you could really be able to make out some interaction into other people on which some are really that liking it and some doesnt really care at all. For me i would really be liking to play
solo in front of my PC and its really just that fine that you would really be having that kind of choosing since it would be your choice at the end.

How tense it is to play live at a gambling table, I have never felt it but it looks very exciting to see people who focus on strategizing when playing poker. If you compare it to playing online, it won't provide any social aspect because it's like playing alone because you're just sitting in front of a computer or on a cellphone screen. Playing live will give you extraordinary adrenaline of course, that's what makes people excited and even though they experience losses sometimes there is support from other people, but if you play online people won't know.

This is the best aspect of gambling activity, and this is what people should primarily see at gambling. Interacting with other gamblers in chat rooms can lead to gaining useful knowledge and tips adds a collaborative and informative dimension to the online gambling experience. Sharing insights and strategies can contribute to a sense of community among players. The virtual environment allows people to connect and build relationships, fostering a sense of camaraderie within the community.

Some may prioritize the game itself, while others find value in the social interactions and discussions happening concurrently. The exchange of tips can be both informative and entertaining, contributing to a positive and collaborative environment among players. But Physical casinos is better at getting this experience. The ability to see and chat directly with individuals in physical casinos provides a unique form of interaction, highlighting the distinct social dynamics of each environment.

Surely anonymity is an important aspect of online gambling.

But probably the communications infrastructure in online casinos could be improved even with it in mind.
For instance when playing any card game in a table there could be an avatar based chat system where the text appears as though it's text bubbles (think of it like a comic).

Also for any other casino game, there could be a specific chat where maybe players could join each other's session.
If I make a big win for instance, I can share a clip. But what if I could share my live session and even have a specific chat for it?

There's many possibilities.

i can understand that sometimes we need to connect to these people just to understand their gambling life. believe it or not, we can learn a thing or two from these people and remind our own self about what to do in our own life. they have varied experiences but the bottomline is, how gambling influence the way of their life? is it for the better or worse?

I think it's also matter of "space" people behind a laptop for a betting "are just few". meanwhile people that can follow a bet in a corner or behind a table in a casino are much much more!
I think that we must divide two kinds of betting: play for fun (ok social betting), play to have profit (then we need to stay focused so play alone it's the best).
You really think so, that space is what make people to go to physicall casino and those that goes online, I don't think so at some point, although you may have a point in this, but for a fact the point that can possibly come from this can not be waiged to be enough to call it sufficient, because whatever space or social interaction that can occure in a physical casino can also take place online and is even better online since your privacy concern will be sorteyout in the case you get lucky to hit a big amount of winning.

Facebook suggests people want to share all their personal details online, Im not sure if gambling stops that being true or not.   Generally its always seemed best to me not to give out your personal details online as its assessible by anyone, by bots by agents such as various hostile states that want to profile and run files on people.   Because computers are so powerful its not a fictional story, its not especially a good idea to feed even more information about your gambling and just general spending habits imo, why should strangers have control of that info.    So yea I'd prefer anonymity based on understanding how information can be harmful, not everyone is friendly towards gambling but there is definitely levels of social gambling openly done where people just want to hang out and play thats fairly normal to imo just online turns data into a commodity.

With this then we can't rule out the socialization aspect of gambling, anything can be beneficial if we can take the opportunity to utilize it, such as connecting with other people in gambling, you can exchange stories with them through some chats and ask about how their experiences during their gambling and I think from there we can get some learning, every gambler has a different approach in their gambling involvement, there will definitely be some of them who have done crazy things that make them down and you can make it an example and learn so that you don't make the same mistakes in any situation. I think for the issue of whether gambling affects their lives or not I think it all comes back to how they approach and understand gambling, if indeed they come without the right understanding which causes them to always do things that are out of control and that they cannot be held accountable for then obviously it is a bad impact on their lives due to the wrong approach to gambling.

I think the social aspect of online gambling can't match that of offline gambling. The bond or the experience with other people can't be sufficiently provided in online gambling platforms. Perhaps it would only be activated if the other gamblers in your table are friends or if you are familiar with each other like when a poker game is composed of users from this forum. If they are not friends or familiar persons, you would even seldom contribute a response.

When you meet fellow gamblers of course they will have stories to tell about the games they play and can also exchange gambling strategies that fellow gamblers have, if they tell you that they can win their gambling in a row I think they are saying things that we cannot believe because Every gambler has certainly experienced defeat and it is very difficult to win in a row and if the person who tells the story has never won and they keep gambling, perhaps that person cannot learn from the mistakes they made in the gambling they played and decide to bet more. Many things in gambling are certainly wrong choices if we cannot correct mistakes in the games we play.

 Exactly! in that way, we will have more ideas about different events or experiences from other fellow gamblers, it is also better sometimes that we communicate with others because we can get new ideas on gambling and we can also learn from what they have been through already in their gambling journey.
sometimes, when we meet different people, that's when we learn more, you will also know that not all people tell the truth, Funny but true, others just make up stories to cover up what really happened, many of them are more experienced failure and defeat rather than victory.

This is what's missing, the act of forging connections with other people are not present when you are doing online gambling, there's no physical presence that can evoke the feeling and at the same time I feel like you're likely to spend more money online because there's no physical separation from you and the money so you don't feel that sadness that can make you when you're gambling on a physical casinos. Even when you're playing with your friends, it would still be different and I think it's noticeable, the banters are boring and the trashtalks with your friends are just different when you're offline, go on and test it to see if what I'm saying is somewhat true.

In as much as I am yet to fully grasp in details, what op is communicating, I would say that for me personally, I don't fancy socializing in online gambling, so, even if online casinos were to introduce a social media like online gambling experience for her users, It will mean absolutely nothing to me, as I am not that social kind of person.

So, in the nutshell, I would say that, online casinos are just perfect the way they are in terms of socialization, and one thing we must understand is that, online casino can never be like offline casinos in some aspect, and one of those aspect is in the area of socialization, gamblers who love to meet new people through gambling are better off choosing offline casinos for their gambling activities.

I don't consider writing messages in an online chat to be a true form of "socializing".
If you want to socialize just go out and meet people in person. A casino isn't supposed to be the place, where you could find real friends.
It's true that some casinos have chatrooms, but I couldn't care less about this feature. Maybe some people are more extroverted, so they want to talk with someone while gambling. I'm definitely not extroverted and talking(or writing messages) to other people while gambling is very distracting to me.

And the most funniest aspect of meeting or interacting with other gamblers is because every individual gambler have a unique story to tell you especially as it relates to their personal life experiences in gambling. Some of these gamblers have unique stories to tell you. For instance, some gamblers will tell you that since they started gambling they have never lost any odds before and it has been a straight win for them all these while. Whereas there are those who have never won a single game before since they started gambling yet they have never get tired of the gambling rather continuing to play even more.
They feel that sharing their unique story can make them feel relieved so that other people can learn the lessons behind their story, although it depends on each person. Perhaps some people don't listen to the shared stories because they only focus on gambling. More and more people will be willing to share their unique stories with other people just so that the people who are gambling with them will know. We don't know why they tell their stories to other people because some people share their unique stories about embarrassing things that happened to them. Socializing with other people is also based on their desires or goals for attending the casino.

~snip~
This is the best aspect of gambling activity, and this is what people should primarily see at gambling. Interacting with other gamblers in chat rooms can lead to gaining useful knowledge and tips adds a collaborative and informative dimension to the online gambling experience. Sharing insights and strategies can contribute to a sense of community among players. The virtual environment allows people to connect and build relationships, fostering a sense of camaraderie within the community.

Some may prioritize the game itself, while others find value in the social interactions and discussions happening concurrently. The exchange of tips can be both informative and entertaining, contributing to a positive and collaborative environment among players. But Physical casinos is better at getting this experience. The ability to see and chat directly with individuals in physical casinos provides a unique form of interaction, highlighting the distinct social dynamics of each environment.
In the chat room, people can get to know other people from different countries and share stories about what happened in their country or share tips and tricks for playing gambling. Of course, that is not a trick we should follow because casinos will not let gamblers win a lot of money. However, sharing insights and strategies can help improve their gambling skills so they can become professional gamblers later. The virtual environment can also be a place to discuss many things, including things that will happen.

Some gamblers expect tips from the winners so that they have more things that can be useful for them in gambling. It could also provide closeness to the people in the chat room so they can be more comfortable, calm, and free to gamble. But if they can't control themselves, they will only lose and get frustrated, so the atmosphere in the casino will not get better for them, especially for the losing gamblers. They are better off hiding their losses from other people than telling about them, even though there are gamblers who also tell about their losses in the chat room.

I think the social aspect of online gambling can't match that of offline gambling. The bond or the experience with other people can't be sufficiently provided in online gambling platforms. Perhaps it would only be activated if the other gamblers in your table are friends or if you are familiar with each other like when a poker game is composed of users from this forum. If they are not friends or familiar persons, you would even seldom contribute a response.

Right, there is a very significant difference if we look in terms of the socialization relationship, of course and I think this is the obvious difference between physical and online casinos, which if you gamble in a physical casino then obviously you will meet a lot of other visitors who certainly have a lot of time and opportunity to socialize by exchanging stories or various experiences in the world of gambling maybe which will certainly be able to increase the bond in terms of relationships.

So of course as you said that socialization in online casinos will not be able to match physical casinos because after all the services and situations are different, online gambling is more specifically for people who don't want to bother leaving the house to gamble like most people do when gambling in physical casinos, on the other hand I honestly never found out about how to connect with other people or even my own friends in online gambling, but maybe this is a good idea to develop.

This is why when it comes to choices then it would really be that totally depending on someones preference or liking if we do speak about physical or online casino on which it would really be that best that you should really be the ones who would really be finding out on which place you are really that interested on dealing with. There are some people who doesnt really like on crowded places and there are ones who are really that liking on having those kind of socialization with other people and this is why it would really be that depending on someone whether they would really be sticking into their own interest or would really be trying out
to test some other field on which it would really be just that depending on you.

This is why it would really be that always that matter on your own interest and if you are really that have plans on trying to test out other options
then it would really be that according into your own decisions because its your money to be used not theirs. So if you do find it to be that
interesting then it would be just that right that you would really be sticking into it.

Yeah based on definition socializing is more than just an exchange of words. So merely chatting about how is it going, or how are you doing isn't a form of socializing.
If you want to socialize just go out and meet people in person. A casino isn't supposed to be the place, where you could find real friends.
I don't know, but OP should have realize that casino isn't built to socialize to others, it is built to entertain and gamble. Sure you could find friends on casino, but it's just a bonus part of it.

It's true that some casinos have chatrooms, but I couldn't care less about this feature. Maybe some people are more extroverted, so they want to talk with someone while gambling. I'm definitely not extroverted and talking(or writing messages) to other people while gambling is very distracting to me.
That's casinos way to show that they are open, they let people talk on the chatroom but that's the end of it. Most of the times it causes distraction, so I couldn't care less about it.

This is what's missing, the act of forging connections with other people are not present when you are doing online gambling, there's no physical presence that can evoke the feeling and at the same time I feel like you're likely to spend more money online because there's no physical separation from you and the money so you don't feel that sadness that can make you when you're gambling on a physical casinos. Even when you're playing with your friends, it would still be different and I think it's noticeable, the banters are boring and the trashtalks with your friends are just different when you're offline, go on and test it to see if what I'm saying is somewhat true.

That's so true. If you love the fun of gambling with friends and the laughter when losing or winning, the breaks, and the excitement when you return to the table, you won't experience all of these in online gambling. Of course, gamblers have different attitudes. Some others might prefer a solo and silent moment when gambling. If this is a gambler's preference, the online setup is of course better than the physical setup. But I think the risk or the danger when you're gambling online and solo is higher than when you're gambling outside, talking with real people.

Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.
So, that is the purpose and benefit of interacting with other gamblers and related to chat rooms, it seems that there are quite few because when gamblers win or lose, on average they will enter the chat room and share the results they have obtained.
We can share experiences with each other and also joke about the results of other gamblers losses.
Maybe this is considered not very useful for other gamblers, but I think this is fun form of entertainment.

I don't understand it myself, but if they want to take a break from gambling, it's better for them to immediately leave the casino so that they don't want to gamble again. That would be better because from telling each other stories, there may be a desire to continue gambling. After all, you are curious about what they are telling you. Chatting in the chat room will depend on each person, and there is no pressure to stay there.
If you are taking break because you have experienced big loss and want to calm down, it is best to immediately leave the gambling site, but if it is only small loss that has no effect on your gambling budget then staying is still the choice for most gamblers.
The most important thing is that we can accept this loss and of course we can still think clearly or in control when we have lost.
Sometimes mistakes occur because of our own actions that get out of control after experiencing an unacceptable amount of defeat.

Your concluding part is not always as you believe it to be, all I can say is that this is now common here as people start attributing risks to gambling offline and I do not see this risk as feasible as much as they make it look but just of old times considerations where people would win big, withdraw cash and could be attacked. The world is revolving and people and casinos are getting smarter these days. What time did you last hear about that? It would have been so long and I do not think that casinos and the bettors could be daft these days to be paying and receiving big wins in cash, it is not good for both parties. But yes, online casinos can't be compared with online casinos when it comes to the fun involved, especially if such a casino is designed for maximum fun where a bar, lodge, pool, all extras you can think of and different games sections are there for you to choose from.

It is the place to have fun and also spend more money, you should know that, but one thing that is sure is that you will surely have that fun to the fullest. If that is the preference, why not? But this can't be done all the time as it is not cost-effective while the convenience due to the proximity can't be encouraging all the time as well. This is why one can't even do without online gambling as it is the closest to the gambler, but one can just try to moderate the two based on the purpose of gambling and their plans towards it.

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.
I agree with you, social aspect of online gambling is bad and needs to be improved but does anyone have any plan how it can be improved? Every casino where there is some kind of socialization, is full of people who beg for money.
By the way, live blackjack tables are a good way to socialize with real people while watching them but the problem is that these dealers are always tired and when they have many players, they can't read your messages and talk with you, it's probably hard for them to deal cards and focus on conversation. If they create a live blackjack tables with max 3 people, I think that socialization will be way better and interesting.

Maybe this is considered not very useful for other gamblers, but I think this is fun form of entertainment.
The gamblers who have lost will remain in the chat room while waiting for the winnings to be distributed by the winning gamblers. The distribution of winnings may not be big, but they are still willing to wait because it is something for those who wait. They think getting a share of the winnings is a pleasant thing, so they will stay in the chat room, perhaps even all day, to wait for it.

~snip~

However, a person needs to take a break from gambling, especially after a losing streak because it will affect his emotions. He should calm his emotions first before making a decision, and it would be best if he could think about quitting gambling for a while. And we should be able to think clearly when we experience defeat to think of a way out. Mistakes that occur because of our out-of-control actions after experiencing defeat must be immediately changed so that they don't happen again, and we need to learn self-control to prevent it from happening again. But there must be an acknowledgement from him that he has made a mistake and does not want to repeat it.

Yes, I also explained above about one of the most significant differences between these two types of gambling, each type of casino has its own advantages and obviously as you said it's just about a person's choice and depending on which one they're interested in getting involved with whether it's an online or physical casino it's all up to them because they have their own criteria when it comes to choosing and also another reason is you also said that there are some people who don't like crowds which means they would definitely prefer online casinos and others prefer to build socializing relationships with other people in person and also of course that means they would definitely choose to get involved in physical casinos.

The fact is that it's as simple as this to conclude and I don't think it should be a problem whatsoever because everyone has different choices and they're just going to go to the place that they want to go to that can certainly fulfill their desires, so they have the right to make whatever decision they want.

Online casino would have been completely made private, if not for KYC. But the need to make it a fun place for communication, may not be as expected by some gamblers who wants the communication features available. On the long run, we could be seeing some casino who would adjust things and make availability for a better fun platform. Yet it wouldn't make many changes since the aim of other gambler is to gamble and chat using the chatbox. Any other feature one needs could be gotten on social media platforms. Nothing else can be done to change the way online gamblers communicate with one another. It must be on screen. We cannot feel or touch them, hence the virtual reality we seem to get isn't proper fun compared to what physical casinos provide for gamblers. However, the physical casino is fun, but people still mind their businesses. It's not like all people go there to do is socializing.

Surely anonymity is an important aspect of online gambling.

But probably the communications infrastructure in online casinos could be improved even with it in mind.
For instance when playing any card game in a table there could be an avatar based chat system where the text appears as though it's text bubbles (think of it like a comic).

Also for any other casino game, there could be a specific chat where maybe players could join each other's session.
If I make a big win for instance, I can share a clip. But what if I could share my live session and even have a specific chat for it?

There's many possibilities.

In the perspective of yours, it's opening up a new view on my end that the gambling platforms may collaborate with online platforms like Instagram to handle those live video sessions. It'll save the casino some bandwidth while sharing some customers with the online social media platform which already pays a lot on bandwidths enough to accept any number of videos. If the casino, allows for gamblers to make live sessions it'll be quite fun, but may be flooded by unending number of gamblers who would priorities on those fun parts until the site begin to lag or perform slowly. Looking at the enormous amount of software running on the casino website, adding more features could be a hassle on the long run. The chat rooms or box made available seem to be the best they could provide. But your idea shows how important it is to make the online casino a fun place for participants to engage with one another and see no reason to visit the offline casino.

That will intrigue many gamblers to spend more time in the online casino, thereby generating more money for the casino to cover for bandwidth, and things as such. But, if it gets too compactible to what we've got on Instagram or other social media platform, visitor may now depend on watching live sessions, instead of gambling. These changes could deter or distract some player's concentration on gambling. Since its highly an emotional intelligent game, players need to focus carefully and abstain from any distraction. While many would like it, I understand, but lots of people wouldn't feel comfortable have a social online gambling platform. That means, expect a diminishing return on the long run.

In general, a gambler rarely socializes or interacts with the outside world (society), especially if the community where he lives is very against gambling activities. “A gambler will only associate with someone who likes to gamble.” Because of everyone's tendencies, they will often socialize and make friends with people who have the same thoughts or the same hobbies.

That's what happens where I live, which may be different from where you all live. because there is a region that really strongly opposes all forms and types of gambling and there are also those that allow it.

And when I visit both online and land-based casinos, I very rarely see them chatting casually or joking around. because they focus on gambling. They will just talk and joke, after the game ends or before the game starts.

How many gamblers do you think come here for socialization? Only a few I guess and would be more expected with land based casinos. Indeed talking with other players will be fun however not the majority came for such feat. Most of the players are after profit and I guess to some, the convenience of not wanting to interact with others, is one of the reasons why some gamblers prefer online gambling especially those who are introverts or not fond of talking while playing.There are other ways as well which is to join online communities or social media groups wherein they could talk about various concerns in gambling. I also doubt that this would be put into priority by gambling providers more than with improving transaction speed, bonuses, and overall gambling experience of players.

Instead of adding a chat feature that looks forced, it's better to add a voice chat or live voice feature between players.
Maybe it could be closer to the atmosphere of offline gambling. However, I'm not sure whether this feature will really be useful.
Or will only be a means of mentally attacking each other between players because it's just live voice without meeting face to face.

We do know that there are types of people;

1. Introvert
2. Extrovert
3. Neutral

There are ones who do love to play alone and there are ones who do love on dealing with other people or into those people who are really that just that fine on dealing in between
things basing up on the situation that they are facing. There are ones who are really that skeptical basing up into their own experiences in life or someones experience.
Socialization is important though but just like been said that there are people who dont really like on having this kind of set up but rather they would really be liking
on doing things on their own and they wont really be that mattering on which one they would really be that doing as long it would

In that case, are casinos the one who needs to adjust rather than the players instead? If users find lacking features they want to see either online gambling or physical gambling, then find those where they will experience it. If those gamblers who are now mostly doing online gambling want to experience again the environment of playing in a physical casino, then find a way to do that. The same goes for those mostly engaging now in physical casinos but used to doing online gambling.

Online gambling and physical casinos do have their advantages. There are times that the things we are looking for are not present on both.

considering the different characters of people, I think online gambling is perfect for those who don't really like high social. more towards those with introverted characters. some who have a neutral character can still enjoy playing online gambling. for them calmness and focus are the main factors they pay attention to.
If OP doesn't like that kind of system, leave me online gambling and switch to offline gambling which directly comes to the casino and meets the people there.

It's a matter of players what they want to do, and not everyone wants to communicate, simply play normally. I have also become acquainted with some online players and we occasionally contact each other online, but that is just the internet environment and is not always convincing, even when playing offline, communication depends on on everyone.

I feel this issue is also noticed by online casinos, but as I said initially it depends on the player's choice. I remember using a soccer betting service, and the discussion around the match was quite fun and exciting among the members, so gambling freely was a personal choice without any regulations.

IMO, there is no need of socialising in an online casino. People go to online casino in order to gamble and make money. They don’t have time to ask and interfere with other gambler’s lives. Yes some casinos have the chat features, but I feel that it is only used by the people with no balance. They do passive begging there, and collect rains. The real gamblers hardly socialise in those chats. So yes according to me, socialising is just waste of time.

People have different personalities, some of them would like to play alone and some of them would like to enjoy themselves with the other players, with my personality I guess I'm suitable for playing with socializing with other gamblers even just chatroom is enough so we can have a good time communicating with them but it's different when in terms of actual casino you can check the face expression of the player if they are suitable with your personality or not so you can adjust the conversation you would like to start, part of entertainment in casino is socializing you can meet different gambelrs with different personalities might help you not only in gambling but outside of the casino.

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?
Their is no need to socialize yourself with people in casino because we are all strangers there and I see the gambling casino as an anonymous place and if casino gives access to gamblers to have access to one another,  people will use it as advantage against other people,  it is something that will really affect the beginners.  It is just better to stake your game on online casino and wait for the outcomes. In offline gambling shop people can go to extend of interacting with other gambler, here you see the people you are socialising with and make your decisions if they are good for you or not.

Some people prefer to play at offline casinos because they want to socialize with other players and feel the live casino vibe, which can improve their mood when playing. But there are people who prefer online casinos because they don't like crowds and can play anywhere and anytime via their devices - they can play more quietly without any interference from other players. So it's not a matter of shortcomings between offline and online platforms, but just a matter of gamblers' preferences.

But it would turn out that you would really be that a bitter person if you dont really have those kind of reactions or having those kind of treatment into other people and sometimes it cant really be avoided.
Also there's no fun when you do play gambling physically without having those kind of reactions to other people. Even myself cant really be able to avoid on not to make those kind of reactions
on the time that you are facing other fellow gamblers specially if you do make out some bets. There are indeed people who are really that introverts just like on what other members been saying above
that there are ones who do love to go solo and this is why they would really be opting on making some online gambling dealing rather than on making themselves going into physical.

It will make them get to know other gamblers and being able to gamble with them will feel even more fun. Some like to gamble at online casinos where they don't need to go anywhere and can gamble anywhere and anytime. This makes it easy for them if they want to gamble at home. They can do other things while gambling, providing them with fun.

With this opportunity, it can pave the way for you to have relationships with many people and maybe you can make many new friends which is certainly true what you said that our gambling will feel more fun. Now in this modern era everything looks easier to do, one example might be from gambling, you can choose according to what you want, if you really don't want to bother leaving the house then obviously your choice is to get involved in online casinos but if you want to meet lots of people in person with a lively atmosphere that can make you feel more happy or mean you are one of those people who like crowds then of course you can come to a physical casino, all of this is your choice.

Making friends with gamblers in a casino brings distraction, if you so want to make friends there are many places for this, either offline or online you can do that but when it comes to gambling, majority of gamblers intend to double their money, not make new friends, some people are even wired in a way that they want limited friend.

If you as a gambler can't have fun in gambling because there are no other people around then your real intent is different, not impossible but you are different from hundreds of other gamblers, you should engage in other gambling games that requires player to player instead of games like Slots.

It depends. Not everyone who make friend of you in a casino brings distraction to you. Some are making good advices and will give you tips on how to increase your chances in winning some games. However, the most common reason why people in a casino wants to make friend with you, is that they want to increase their connections and possibly widen their choices of people they want to beg to whenever one of their friends they made in a casino win big amount of money. This gives them another reason to stay in a casino even if they run out of money.

IIRC there was a casino that allow you to chat with other user in private, but I didn't remember exactly the name is.

I'm not sure if it's regularly used by other users, but I don't think it's important. Most users only chat in global where you can earn rain reward, joining a mini games by other people or someone is kind to share his money to active users.

Yes, it really depends on yourself whether you feel disturbed or not, all this depends on your needs too if basically you need people to accompany your gambling then I think this will actually benefit you because you need their presence. On the other hand I think there is no problem to have friends in gambling activities, one of the possible things is as you said that maybe they can provide tips to increase the chances of winning even though this is still difficult to believe to actually be able to produce victory because after all, gambling cannot be fully predicted.

And the general reason is that you have also said that socialization relationships are one of the reasons why someone looks for fellow gamblers, maybe they want to share experiences or tell stories about the downturns they have experienced during their gambling, because this reason makes more sense.

Online gambling gives portability and comfortability than the offline casino but doesn't provide some of the good things of life offline casino possess. Although nobody is restricted from using the offline casino, the online players can switch to physical casino any moment they feel lonely. However, not everybody has the ability to start or hold conversations with other people, hence the offline casino may not be a conducive place for them, regardless. Hence, it's crucial that gamblers who intend to make fun while using the physical casino should be able to engage and approach people. But if they have a clique already, it wouldn't be a hassle to get fun there. I think most online gamblers are comfortable with the provision of the opportunity to gamble online. Other requirements are secondary, the aim has been achieved. Gambling and getting paid online is what matters.

Yes, it's true, regardless of whether you gamble physically or online, winning is an absolute must for the players. It doesn't matter where it is, as long as we can win, that's where the fun of gambling is.
Some even feel that online gambling is more interesting than coming directly to the casino. because they don't need more energy to go, just lying on the bed they can get enough victory for their lives.

Building relationships with other people while doing activities may or may not be necessary, depending on what we are doing. But if someone wants to build relationships with other people while gambling, maybe people can go to a physical casino because they will meet many people from various places. In physical casinos, they can gamble with them, see each gambler, feel the sensation of gambling together, and more. But in this day and age, where there is ease in accessing the internet, people can also spend their time gambling from home so they don't need to visit a physical casino. They don't mind if they can't meet and build relationships with other gamblers while they are gambling. Their goal is only to gamble and spend their free time while they can build relationships with other people through other activities.

Online gambling, especially at crypto casinos, lacks the social atmosphere of real casinos. Yes, chat functions frequently feel like shouting into the void with little meaningful interaction.

Lets consider the potential. Imagine online platforms with social aspects like social media - game-segregated chat rooms or virtual tables where you can "sit" with friends. The tech exists - implementation is required. I think there's a big demand for sociable online gambling.

The idea of virtual reality casinos where you can move around, chat, and engage as in a real casino is appealing. Online gaming ease must be balanced with human engagement. Im confident that technology will improve online gambling, closing this societal gap.

Indeed, the charm of physical casinos isnt just in the games; its the human connection. I remember the days of laughter and cheers around a bustling roulette table, the camaraderie in the air almost tangible. I's a social hub where friendships are born over a shared thrill of the game.

On the other hand, I appreciate the convenience of online casinos. They're a godsend on lazy evenings when I just want to relax and not step out. The comfort of playing from home, coupled with the endless game choices - it's a digital wonderland for a gambler like me! However, it does lack that human touch, doesnt it? The buzz of a crowd, the clinking of glasses, the collective suspense; online platforms cant replicate these.

Is about what you're seeking. For a fun, social outing, physical casinos are irreplaceable. But for ease and variety, online casinos are unbeatable. I love how gambling has evolved, giving us the best of both worlds. Whether it's the glittering lights of Vegas or the convenience of my couch, the joy of gambling remains undiminished.

the VR aspect of gambling haven been an ongoing development in the gambling industry. there are some few projects that were actually launched here but it seems they haven't found their success yet on this facet of gambling.

for one, not all gamblers can afford to buy the VR gadget at the moment. maybe in time, this equipment will be affordable to regular gamblers. also, not many people are acquainted to this new tech. but i can very well agree that the experience will be very different. if this type of gambling will go mainstream in the near future, i believe a lot of players will get addicted to this. and not even gamblers just ordinary people will also be enticed to try this type of gambling.

they have both pros and cons, that's a fact. online vs offline gambling. it has been debated, discussed here quite many times. bottomline, it depends on you as a gambler, which casino will suit your needs depending on the time of your usage, your mood, your financial capabilities and other personal concerns.

But with the popularity of online casinos now, many people choose online casinos because online casinos provide many more conveniences than offline casinos. They don't need to leave the house and can gamble and even do other activities at home. This makes gamblers comfortable using online casinos because they do not need to visit the casino to gamble. And you are right in saying that slot games are one of the gambling games most often played by people. It's because they often see advertisements showing people getting huge wins that they could only dream of. They become more interested and play gambling more often, especially playing slots. Maybe some of them are even willing to use a lot of money to play slots just to get that big win.

The decision between the two depends on what each gambler values in their gambling experience. Offline casinos offer the opportunity for socializing with other gamblers that can create a more interactive atmosphere. This should also be one of the motivation to enjoy gambling activity. Online casinos have gained popularity due to the convenience they provide, the ability to gamble from the comfort of home and the flexibility to engage in other activities simultaneously.

The allure of slot games is well-understood with the visual appeal and the potential for substantial winnings can be enticing for many gamblers. The changing dynamics of the gambling landscape is significant, with the rise of online casinos offering new conveniences that attract a growing number of players. Balancing the desire for convenience with responsible gambling practices is key for a satisfying and sustainable gambling experience.

But with the popularity of online casinos now, many people choose online casinos because online casinos provide many more conveniences than offline casinos. They don't need to leave the house and can gamble and even do other activities at home. This makes gamblers comfortable using online casinos because they do not need to visit the casino to gamble. And you are right in saying that slot games are one of the gambling games most often played by people. It's because they often see advertisements showing people getting huge wins that they could only dream of. They become more interested and play gambling more often, especially playing slots. Maybe some of them are even willing to use a lot of money to play slots just to get that big win.
Always falls on someones preference on where they would really be planning on playing on which there are ones who do love on playing online and there are ones who do love to play on physically.

It would really be just that depending into someone because not all would really be falling out with the same interest and this is something that would really be that much needed.
There are really those people who are really just that skeptical on playing into those venues just because of some hesitation or really just not that available.
There are ones who do really make some switch up according into their mood.

In my case then this is what im doing on which on the time that i would really be liking on playing into physical ones then i do it and on other
day which i do feel on playing online then i do also do it, it varies.

Some people prefer to play at offline casinos because they want to socialize with other players and feel the live casino vibe, which can improve their mood when playing. But there are people who prefer online casinos because they don't like crowds and can play anywhere and anytime via their devices - they can play more quietly without any interference from other players. So it's not a matter of shortcomings between offline and online platforms, but just a matter of gamblers' preferences.



In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...


Yes it is a matter of preference. Some people like the offline gambling because they are not hiding their gambling character while some gamblers don't like someone to know how they gamble so it is about preference.

I know that casinos have a single chat room that is difficult to keep up with and some gamblers like it just that way because they don't want traces of their chat easily that is if at all they are chatting, hence they just want to gamble on their own in their own closet without involving any other party. But really online gambling doesn't really need a third party just like cryptocurrency.

I think that the physical gambling is more okay than online Gambling, because while one is gambling he and the other gamblers might be sharing predictions and that's what really makes gambling to be fun.
However, I could say that what makes a lot of people to gamble is because they will want to chat with others and continue betting and that's what really makes the betting to be fun.
Although I can say that it is not only the winning that is making some gamblers to be more happy, chatting with others is also among the game but many don't know, sometimes when some groups of gamblers go to a casino to gamble and they loses all their money, based on the chatting that they might be in they will not put in mind the losing. So I am just trying to say that the physical gambling is more fun that the online gambling because the online gambling is somehow boring.

If I look at it from this side, it is probably true that people who go to physical casinos will get other services that casinos do not provide, namely the opportunity to socialize with many people in person and this is an advantage that we will not be able to get if we gamble at online casinos. With this opportunity, it can pave the way for you to have relationships with many people and maybe you can make many new friends which is certainly true what you said that our gambling will feel more fun. Now in this modern era everything looks easier to do, one example might be from gambling, you can choose according to what you want, if you really don't want to bother leaving the house then obviously your choice is to get involved in online casinos but if you want to meet lots of people in person with a lively atmosphere that can make you feel more happy or mean you are one of those people who like crowds then of course you can come to a physical casino, all of this is your choice.

Online gambling gives portability and comfortability than the offline casino but doesn't provide some of the good things of life offline casino possess. Although nobody is restricted from using the offline casino, the online players can switch to physical casino any moment they feel lonely. However, not everybody has the ability to start or hold conversations with other people, hence the offline casino may not be a conducive place for them, regardless. Hence, it's crucial that gamblers who intend to make fun while using the physical casino should be able to engage and approach people. But if they have a clique already, it wouldn't be a hassle to get fun there. I think most online gamblers are comfortable with the provision of the opportunity to gamble online. Other requirements are secondary, the aim has been achieved. Gambling and getting paid online is what matters.
The difference between online and offline gambling is not much a chance to socialize with other people and enjoy the entertainment on offer at physical betting shops. But it is true that online gambling is more popular than offline in today's era with the advancement of technology and everyone feels more comfortable like offline gambling no need to present themselves a gambler can enjoy online gambling from his own home. And here the information is easy to keep secret. In the physical casino, everyone knows everything and all the hearts of the society come out.

The world is transformed online and that is why we have almost everything online, and so much also we have better social connections online compared to the physical socialization process, because with online casinos, you have what we call the chat room, in this room, everything as regards to the group and other life relavance topics are discuesed and from that place, players communicate and socialise with each other, and even make personal friendships and contacts exchange.

Infact I enjoyed socialising with my online forks than my physical forks, even if we visit the casino together, reason being that, I like privacy and for that I won't want anyone knowing how much I won or lose at some point, but if it online, the secret is up to you and no one else, you only tell someone that I want about either your winnings or loses sometimes.

And here the information is easy to keep secret. In the physical casino, everyone knows everything and all the hearts of the society come out.

On that perspective, the offline casino unveils most of the results or information of the player, like his face, earnings etc. I mean everyone would know the person as a gambler, compared to the online casino. Where the gambler can conceal his gambling habit to himself, while risking his personal information to KYC. Having this is mind, you'd understand that no place is safe; online or offline. Since the government insists on KYC online casinos lost its privacy feature. But the player is safe from his loved one or friends knowing that he's into gambling. That's what you're talking about, it makes a good difference. In the world of today, people who go to offline casinos, may not really go out to the society or our environment with a microphone telling them about seeing us in a casino. Things look mature.

A player who doesn't want such visibility, can go to a distant casino far from his house or neighborhood and gamble. If he's a social being, enough, he'd get more fun playing offline than online. It now depends on the gambler. The online space is mainly for gamblers who don't have the energy to associate with friends, in the offline casino. Hence, they wish to continue their habit at home to keep things safe and secure about their behavior. Although it strived during the locked down period, but that may have been the reason for online casino. A place for less social people to spend time gambling, at the serenity of their home. Nothing else can be offered to the players, he's social activity now depends on him. Online casino puts every other responsibility on the player, aside, providing games, support, and chat box.

Well that would be kinda hard for your side since most of the people who gamble online, doesn't really look for socializing when playing. And probably most of the reason why they choose to gamble online is because they don't want to socialize and maintain small talks only. In my case as an online gambler, I just want to focus on playing and doesn't really look for someone to talk to while gambling.

While on the other hand, physical casinos are more on socializing and making connection with other people inside the casino. If you want to gamble and socialize at the same time, maybe you can do it with sports betting and then join groups or channel in discord.
   For me as a player there are some positive benefits that comes with online gambling. One of these is the interaction with some people through online. With the help of chat options and multiplayer games, several platforms for online gambling can promote social engagement. Even if they are physically separated, this can be a means for individuals to connect and compete with one another. However, if you spend too much time gambling online and find yourself too comfortable alone. This could affect both your personal connections and the larger community. The social benefits and potential drawbacks can be hard to weigh for both individuals and society as a whole. However, it's important to remember that responsible gambling is key to enjoying these benefits without any downsides.
   A bit more cynical point is that it allows a safe space to do what would be awkward or unacceptable in real life. The racial abuse and momma curses unless admin or auto-ban can come in place. This will give the space a more efficient environment to users to play.  With time more gambling site will finally adopt the communication among players. It will be nice seeing come to play, there you free up your mind and even get more insight for other player.

So each casino has advantages and disadvantages that we won't be able to find in each casino. People will choose which casino is comfortable for them, so they will return to that casino. Building relationships with other people while doing activities may or may not be necessary, depending on what we are doing. But if someone wants to build relationships with other people while gambling, maybe people can go to a physical casino because they will meet many people from various places. In physical casinos, they can gamble with them, see each gambler, feel the sensation of gambling together, and more. But in this day and age, where there is ease in accessing the internet, people can also spend their time gambling from home so they don't need to visit a physical casino. They don't mind if they can't meet and build relationships with other gamblers while they are gambling. Their goal is only to gamble and spend their free time while they can build relationships with other people through other activities.

Right, the conclusion is as you said that each casino has its own advantages and in general we can see from the difference between online and offline casinos, they offer something different that is needed by all types of people. For the problem of whether they want to build relationships with other people they have never met before, it really depends on their own desires and they only have to choose if that is true then yes they have to go to an offline casino because we can see that it is a more effective place with a crowded atmosphere from the visitors who come, but if not, the choice is definitely an online casino. But on the other hand these days I think more people prefer online casinos because indeed now this type of gambling is increasingly popular in the eyes of the public and one of the games that is more often played by them is slot machines, I don't really know what the reason is but certainly what I see is because this type of game is very easy and does not require any skills, you just press the button to play the game that's enough and you will see in the final round whether you are lucky or not at all.

You are right and what you are giving is a clear example of what really happens with casinos and the people who frequent them, what many can do is Frequent a casino to see how they can learn , how other people play and how they can establish bond of Friendship with people , but that is very personal however you want to see it, in online casinos you can also make friends, it is very easy, but there are times when people are not so nice to someone, simply because of the fact that they are being what they are, personally I have Always said something when a person is close to doing any type of things in the casino they have to see that, if the person is very and concentrated playing, they should not be careless, any bad move cannot be blamed on you, if the person that you see you want to go there with her, it's only if she gives you the option to enter, otherwise I think it's not possible, and it's better that way.

In online casinos there is the Option of Chatting where basically the eproans give their opinion, joke around, have a good time, others merely talk about the juice, and that's it, they stick to just that, but I think there are many possibilities in the game. When it comes to slots, I think that's very tricky, because most people want to play games, and if Someone tries to talk to them, first they will interrupt their Concentration, then they will stone if they are not yours , They'll either let you know or they'll just ignore you, that's what happens to some people when they don't want to talk to you, some don't even respond to them, so these types of Things are what we're going to take into consideration, each of these has a way to being, a way of acting and a way of integrating, it is in ourselves how we can open Ourselves to a casino Community , or to a person in particular, casinos are good for that, sometimes socializing or something, but With great care , any Bad move wouldn't make a Person lose.

I don't think there is any potential to socialize with others when you chose an online platform for your activities, still there is a live chat option where player can interact with others who are online but most people don't really want to socialize via gambling platform. Because we have tons of social media apps for that same purpose where people interaction is the only thing they do.

I don't think any player would think about socializing with other players online in casino games. their goal is to play and the focus is definitely on the game.
it will be different when we play offline gambling. Interaction with other players may also be aimed at psychological attacks or disturbing the opponent's concentration of play.
but for online games, interaction is not important. just focus on playing and get our luck.

When we go to the physical casino with friends, we will enjoy gambling and have more fun as compared to the online gambling or going to the casino alone with no one to give us company. Gambling in the presence of friends, may not let us concentrate much on gambling but then who cares about the concentration, when winning in gambling depends upon the luck, and not on the dedication we give to the gambling.

it will be different when we play offline gambling. Interaction with other players may also be aimed at psychological attacks or disturbing the opponent's concentration of play.

Yes, online gambling can give you more concentration as here you can gamble will full dedication and no one can distract your attention. There may be benefits to this but you won't have fun that you will get when you are gambling with friends in a physical casino.
Also, gambling alone can make you get addicted to gambling too and it can have bad effects on your health if you gamble in excess. Also, since no one is with you you can over spend in gambling while when you are with friends, someone may give you advice to gamble or quit for the day.

That makes sense, as playing and socializing at online casinos allows you to do so from the comfort of your home. The convenience of use, in my opinion, may boost sociability since it allows players to interact without being restricted by a physical space.
Because face-to-face encounters can be intimidating at times, I believe that the privacy offered by online platforms will enable people to socialize without the strain of in-person conversations. For people who might feel better at ease expressing themselves online, this sense of privacy may be alluring.
Furthermore, because online gaming sites are always available, socializing possibilities will always be available. In contrast, real casinos might only be open for a certain number of hours. Consequently, in online gambling, you are free to wager whenever and any time you like.

The new era was born with the online platform,many works now was done by the Artificial Intelligence.Some gambler also using the AI for the betting,but it was against the rules of gambling site.It’s hard to predict the outcome of the gambling betting,because the gambling site was created in the way of hard predictable one.The gamblers who had huge knowledge in the gambling industry were able to make money from the gambling sites.The gamblers should keep their strategies as the secret one,because the strategy of one gamblers will not suit to the game of the other gamblers.So use your own strategy to make money using the gambling sites.

What are you talking about? Using AI to gamble in the usual casino games makes little sense. Maybe you could use it for Black Jack or for statistical analysis for sports betting, but that's pretty much it and I can't see how any online casino could prevent that.
And outcome is not hard to predict in online casino games if you know the house edge (any respectable casino should be informing their players of such). You might not know the outcome of each individual game, but you will know the expected long-term outcome.
Strategy is either good or useless, and either works for any player or for none.

I believe that whether casinos wanted to improve the social aspects of their gambling floors they could do it with some investment and setting places for gambling games with PVP components or even setting areas within the casino for gamblers to talk to each other while doing activies which could be unrelated to gambling.
The issue is that I do not believe casinos are truly interested in getting people to interact much with one another, to be honest. Because in the ideal case for casinos, gamblers would step into their facilities, gamble and then leave without much hassle or problems. The interaction part between gamblers can be either positive but also negative, specially if there is access to alcoholic beverages.

Some gamblers seem to prefer to stick to their session and not to talk too much with other gamblers who are strangers, I have specially noticed the lack of social behavior in gamblers who have as favorite games both slots and video poker. Those who like poker and blackjack tend to interact more with others. To each their own, I guess.

I would personally like to make friends while having a drink at the casino bar, even though I know that is kind of unlikely to happen.

Really alot have changed with this generation and many works are now done by third party artificial tools and for social it will bring alot of development and progress on the long run, but also I will like to know if we have some AI that can work on gambling because it quite a while now since we have being discussing here in the forum on the ability of AI to effect changing to the overall gambling experience since casinos have their own system on place that determine the probability fairness and what it stands to offers.

This is why, the usage or promotion of AI haven't gained alot of awareness lately and also haven't make any big significant impact to the overall outcome of gambling games, at some point in times.

That's not the primary aim of gambling and shouldn't bother any player. The main aim is to be active and make meaningful predictions. Other factors are secondary and wouldn't make any difference for the gambler whether he associates with gamblers or not. There is no rule about that. Maybe the Op participated in a live game where their opinion would be needed for a specific reason. It's not wrong for a dealer to let them discuss or chat online. However, it's not meant to be a rule, it's just a voluntary decision for the gambler. The fun part is only reasonable if we go with our friends for the purpose of getting fun while playing game of luck. There the players can align with other gamblers and build a strong network for the day, able to create enough fun for them. Once the day is over, they may go home to gamble online is the urge to gamble still drags the gambler. So, offline casinos, shouldn't be neglected because of online casinos. If the player is not able to get what he wants online, he can easily go offline and feed himself with new conversation from other gamblers.

The decision between the two depends on what each gambler values in their gambling experience. Offline casinos offer the opportunity for socializing with other gamblers that can create a more interactive atmosphere. This should also be one of the motivation to enjoy gambling activity. Online casinos have gained popularity due to the convenience they provide, the ability to gamble from the comfort of home and the flexibility to engage in other activities simultaneously.

The allure of slot games is well-understood with the visual appeal and the potential for substantial winnings can be enticing for many gamblers. The changing dynamics of the gambling landscape is significant, with the rise of online casinos offering new conveniences that attract a growing number of players. Balancing the desire for convenience with responsible gambling practices is key for a satisfying and sustainable gambling experience.
That's what makes many people still often visit offline casinos because they still want to experience the fun of gambling with other gamblers and socializing with them. Meeting many gamblers in offline casinos makes offline casinos increasingly crowded with people whose aim is to gamble, have fun and also win their gambling games. They gamble together and miss many of the interesting moments they get at the casino so they will keep returning to the offline casino.

The appeal of slot games really tempts people to keep coming back to play them because they can expect to make big fortunes after playing slots for a while. But if they are not lucky, they can continue playing slots and this is what often causes people to lose a lot of money playing slots. Casinos also know that gamblers are very curious about winning and gambling games, so they always try to provide the best to their gamblers and add many new games to their place.

Always falls on someones preference on where they would really be planning on playing on which there are ones who do love on playing online and there are ones who do love to play on physically.

It would really be just that depending into someone because not all would really be falling out with the same interest and this is something that would really be that much needed.
There are really those people who are really just that skeptical on playing into those venues just because of some hesitation or really just not that available.
There are ones who do really make some switch up according into their mood.

In my case then this is what im doing on which on the time that i would really be liking on playing into physical ones then i do it and on other
day which i do feel on playing online then i do also do it, it varies.
Yes, that's true because when choosing a casino, people will determine it based on what they want. Therefore, we still see many people gambling at each casino, both physical and online casinos because people have found which casinos they think are fun to gamble at.

If people previously gambled at a physical casino but then moved to an online casino, they definitely have a reason why they moved and that is up to them. Those who choose a casino, even if someone advises them to use a physical or online casino, will still look at the casino first and then decide which casino they want to gamble at. But some people also use both types of casinos because they find enjoyment in both types of casinos.

I prefer online crypto casinos because they provide a lot of convenience for me. I don't need to leave the house or deposit fiat from my bank account. I can gamble anytime and anywhere.

Going to gambling centers,(casino, sports betting etc) it is more sociable than gambling online, And it's interesting and funfull at casino game center than than gambling online.
Online gambling, is more of individual thing and privacy. I think if they can create online platforms were gamblers online can be playing games online and  interact making like gambling centers it will increase the sociality of online gambling.

Depending on the game the social aspect can be quite important, if you are playing poker live and you are chatting with the rest of the players, and suddenly one of them has a change on their attitude, this can be an indication that the cards they received are very good and you can take the necessary actions during that particular round to deal with that player, so do not minimize the importance of the social aspect in gambling, since there are many instances in which it can save you from making a poor decision.

I personally rarely socialize in online gambling, and I don't really pay attention to global chat. If you want to gamble and socialize, it's better to gamble physically with your friends or relatives who also have a hobby of gambling, rather than going to a physical gambling place, for In my opinion, they only interfere with concentration, causing us to lack focus in the game
The socialization aspect of online gambling is not necessary and I don't know why the OP explains the dialer tells every gambler to be active in chat, but we need a specific explanation about the kaisno site he is using because there are no rules that require users to be active in chat. I rarely monitor the chat unless the gambling system has an error then I will see complaints from other gamblers in the chat.

Those are situational basis on which you could really be able to take advantage but of course not all would really be loving on taking those fake reactions or trying out to bluff because there are really those
people who would really be showing up their real reactions basing up into their emotions on which you cant really be able to make assurance that those reactions were totally opposite. This is why it wont really be a guarantee that it would be a sure thing that could benefit you in terms of game strategy but i do really love on how these socialization been dont through online. How much more on offline?
The best thing i do prefer on offline or physical is that you could really be making those real interactions with people around and plus the ambiance or noise around while you are
playing on which it do really increase out that overall pleasure.

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

There is probably good reason that casinos limit the amount of discussion between players, at least from the companies perspective, because you tend to have a stream of people losing money and getting angry at their decisions. That does not make for a particularly welcoming, happy and friendly environment for discussion. Beyond that they would have to pay for extra staff to keep an eye on the conversations because things can tend to get wild if left alone. People will come up with all sorts of ideas to get around chat blocks that might censor certain keywords, but you can also end up with spamming of links or scams that will pervade - that could result in people losing their accounts. That element of social engineering would just open up too many liabilities and little benefit to these online casinos.

I don't think any casino is lacking anything for not creating that inevitable mutualism between fellow gamblers... If some secret dms and open interactions could be made, it'll trigger people into sharing their experiences -- good or bad -- and that might get the other person on Thier high heels for safety reasons.

creating a social bond on casinos could also not be a regrettable decision to make.. but I feel the "unnecessary interactions" is basically the reasons why some peeps would wanna avoid land-based casinos...

In live settings for poker game, the ability to observe and interpret changes in the attitudes or behaviors of other players can indeed provide valuable information. Recognizing shifts in demeanor may offer insights into the strength of their hand and, in turn, influence your decisions during the game. The social dynamics, including interactions and non-verbal cues, contribute to the strategic element of the game.

Being attuned to these social signals can potentially save you from making poor decisions and enhance your overall gameplay. There are multifaceted nature of these activities, where strategic thinking, psychological awareness, and social dynamics all play a role. Being mindful of these elements can contribute to a more nuanced and enjoyable gambling experience. Moreover, what would you do after folding the round while waiting for another round!?

I don't think there is any potential to socialize with others when you chose an online platform for your activities, still there is a live chat option where player can interact with others who are online but most people don't really want to socialize via gambling platform. Because we have tons of social media apps for that same purpose where people interaction is the only thing they do.
But Live chat if it is intended as a tool for socializing then in my opinion it is not enough, and it will only be like when we watch people's live streaming, when we greet the user it will accumulate messages that we do with thousands of other people's messages, of course this is not effective if the goal is to socialize.

But for me personally that the gambling platform is not a place to socialize like other platforms, so far no one has a peer-to-peer messaging feature in my opinion, but if anyone launches it is a new thing and it is very interesting in my opinion, where we can interact with many users of a casino around the world, and we can share ideas or tips with other users easily, if it is seen as good it will be very good in my opinion.

Well that would be kinda hard for your side since most of the people who gamble online, doesn't really look for socializing when playing. And probably most of the reason why they choose to gamble online is because they don't want to socialize and maintain small talks only. In my case as an online gambler, I just want to focus on playing and doesn't really look for someone to talk to while gambling.

While on the other hand, physical casinos are more on socializing and making connection with other people inside the casino. If you want to gamble and socialize at the same time, maybe you can do it with sports betting and then join groups or channel in discord.
I think they choose to play gambling online mainly because of its convenience and not because they are avoiding socializing with other gamblers. On the early days of online gambling, there is no such way to communicate with other players and maybe the gamblers are also the ones who request for this. Luckily there are now. It started from a simple personal message, to a forum, and then having a public shoutbox.

Socializing while playing gambling has never been this easy now. Some are still different. Like you for example, you don't want to socialize with other players for some reasons. That's okay. No one is forced to do it anyway.

You can already stream to 3rd party sites, it would quite exceptional to expect the site itself to allow streaming.  But I agree more then live chat would be ideal, if the game is simple enough then view friends should be possible to do which isnt streaming but duplication of view seems more feasible in a simple way.   Its in the site's best interest to introduce social aspect as much as possible because its more of a reinforcing experience then plain gambling by itself, generally people like to share or at least boast about their wins and being able to commiserate on the losses might be a possible too.

Exactly, even if poker is a game of skill, the fact that luck plays such a prominent role means that the highest level that can be reached is somewhat limited, so poker players need to find for other ways to make up for that limitation, and being able to read the reactions of your opponents can make a massive difference, because even if you were able to do this only half of the time, over the long term this will have massive implications when it comes to the amount of money you can make with poker.

You have the option to socialize or not when you gamble. But if that doesn't feel you good, you have the option to just ignore them and never talk in the chat and that's the same in the physical casinos but it's kind of awkward when someone approaches you and talks to you and then you never get to talk to them then you might be accused that you're snobbish and hard to approach.

There is nothing wrong being ignoring when you gamble because you're not there to socialize but just to gamble. But the fun there is you gotta meet new people and talk with some new connections but then again, it all lies up to your idea and intention if you want to go there and do something that you don't like while you gamble. So, putting aside the socializing and focusing on yourself to gamble is what you can do.

Just remember that it's no fun to become a loner but if you enjoy that, there's no argument needed to prove. But it won't also hurt you to have some good conversation, meeting new friends physically and online because they can be of your cheerful friends when your bets seems to be always failing you.
