After the global epidemic that started in 2019, there were problems not only in football but also in all sports branches. However, sports branches that appealed to the audience live, such as football, were more affected.

Even if normalization begins towards the end of last season, we are getting ready to enter a season that we can call normal.

In this process, especially for football, I think that the big teams lose more power in general. Because supporter support is one of the most important criteria. This season, we will have a more normal season and I think we can watch better matches. Of course, we may also be entering a more enjoyable period for betting.

I think it is normal for the teams to play more beautiful football when they are enhanced by the fan saying the players name or supporting the team by singing the team anthem.This season it is a sure thing that we almost will see a normal season as the economies of both clubs,countries and other actors directly involved have lost a lot of money from CoronaVirus 19.A lot of industries have been hit and football is no different,other sports include MotoGP and F1 which have held races near empty without fans at all in the year that Covid blasted in 2020.Finally now Covid has become to many countries like a normal flu which most of the people pass without heavy symptoms.

For betting it is always the same period though,we could bet in pandemic,we could bet now,this has not changed that much from the pandemic,we have been able to bet on football,F1 and other sports even in 2020 when the peak of Covid was worldwide.

This is 2022, what effect did COVID-19 really had in gambling in 2021? The wost effect was in 2020, but the big clubs still came out good just as usual like before, before the pandemic.

Do you mean the big clubs will lose more power in this coming season or they lost more power during covid-19? Like I have said, big clubs still won as usual, Manchester City in EPL, Real Madrid in La Liga Santander, PSG in Ligie 1, Juventus was not able to win in Seria A, but not due to COVID-19 and it was still a strong club that won Seria A. Real Madrid won Champions League.

Not only, big teams has lost a ton of money, there is a giant business around the football and during the coronavirus we've seen many negative effect about it between teams (reduction of engagement, transfer, ecc., check

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan balance). Hope that know we'll go ahead in this way, hope to not see anymore supporter far from a field !

Considering the time when they played in empty stadiums and then how people were allowed with masks and vaccinations as well I do think that we have come a really long way.

The whole idea is making sure that people do not spread the virus but at the same time there are countries like the UK where it's spreading tremendously but they are still having matches normally, The epidemic have improved the sanitation and provided a new era for gambling and betting undoubtedly.

I do think we are as close as we are going to get to normality but the online betting sites are an excellent alternative to in-person bettering especially concerning with sports betting as well. They provide more offers, have more practical applications and at the same time have better winning percentages in certain areas, what not to love?

The COVID lockdowns helped the online betting to increased widely, the best so far that had happened which come to be normal now, its very practical to just do it at home than getting the virus.

As more and more people got vaccinated, we're going back to what was before though even when the virus hasn't completely gone. We're getting there and its normal to see players wearing masks anymore. The betting continues too.

The virus may have started in December of 2019 but it was declared a pandemic in the first quarter of 2020

Everything in real life or offline is affected, jobs, companies industries not only sporting events with live audiences only online is not affected



We are not yet safe the virus is mutating and there are countries that experienced waves of infection, but in countries where the virus is fully controlled they can go back to normal and sporting events will have live audiences making it a great event for players and fans.

I think the big teams still have the fans' support even though they watch their favorite team on television. That doesn't stop the fans from supporting their team but it's because the situation and conditions don't allow them to provide support directly on the pitch. But fortunately, the situation and conditions have now changed so that they can watch their favorite team play live. Sooner or later, everything will return to normal as it used to be and maybe it will be a new beginning for all of us.

The big team already made a name for themselves in the football industry such clubs as Manchester city and real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea with rest of others have already established a brand for their clubs and even if the fans change the chanting of their name in support, it will not affect them that much but again it all together drive us the fact that the coronavirus pandemic slow down a lot of activities in football and also weakened clubs motivation and that can be seen in the last season.

It may have happened that some people who were adept at live sports betting or even at not live betting on other events that occur in the "real world" had to find different ways of gambling for fun and enjoying the excitement. That is, people could have passed from football betting to on-line poker or even slots given the opportunity. Also, some people gambling with state aids during covid may not have the same budget not time to dedicate now.

If you look at now only some teams are still affected by this, but most of the others I think they can already anticipate, especially for very large teams because it was only in the 2020 season that they were badly affected, 2021 began to improve and now the 2022 season most have returned to normal.
As for the problem of betting, what I feel is increasing and this is quite natural because many people do not work and are at home so they have quite a lot of time and some of them spend time gambling.

Covid is already gone, or if it is still here then I think people are not afraid anymore.

The sports industry would like to recover, and what I'm seeing is that we are getting back to the old days where everything is normal, people can watch games in the arena, and players can enjoy playing due to fewer restrictions, and of course, with that, bettors are happy to see the teams are complete and the crowd are chearing.

In the end, it's just how you enjoy the value of your money if entertainment is your main purpose.

It's no wonder that sports industry has taken a big hit during pandemic which is now slowly coming back to normal. But online gambling industry had really flourished to another level during this time. While people were stuck at home, they found gambling entertainment quite amusing and started jumping into the bandwagon.

There is a fascinating study available if you want to read,

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/05/210517083636.htm

So even when the market is coming back to normal, gambling industry found new players who are expected to indulge more into grambling especially sports.

It's all positive for business. Let's just hope it doesn't bring multiple disorders back associated with gambling.

Since the sports industry, especially football, has such a huge audience capacity, I thought it would definitely make a difference to the players as there was no one cheering them on with cheers from the crowd which excited the players.
but that is not a barrier because players are required to keep playing professionally and fans can still watch on television to support even if it is not visible, and betting problems are not an obstacle because soccer betting is very fun and can still bet online and watch on television even though the pandemic makes the game they are different and unpredictable.
looks like the pandemic is over and everyone is tired of such situations, even though it's still there I think they will ignore it.

Indeed, almost all the big teams lost their strength due to the Corona effect, there was no cheers from audience that caused their energy to disappear. A new era for betting may tend to be normal for sportsbook as before corona, but now that's better a lot third party providers are starting to develop more who are also more advanced on the live casino side.

Corona virus pandemic outbreak did affect land(offline) casinos and betting shops. but on the other hand, the pandemic brought a major break through to online casinos, online casinos before the pandemic weren't as popular as they are now, most people preferred walking into the casino with friends, grabbing a few bottle each and drinking while they gamble.
But fortunate enough for the online casinos, pandemic came and the narrative changed, today, most gamblers have gotten used to gambling online while indoors.
I myself cannot remember when last i visited a game shop. 

The decrease in live sport games is not unexpected. If you look at the ongoing Russia-Ukraine, you know games are now lost close to 200 million potential audiences. Then the economy went downhill around the world especially in the EU zone making audiences tighten their spending on both going to see a match live or make a bet in sportsbooks. Online casinos and sportsbooks might get more people to join since the new normal after the corona but I think the overall revenue will decrease for all.

A lot of factors have affected the sports sector lately after the coronavirus a lot of events have been canceled and most teams have lost motivation in the current season, football events were postponed for several months a d when things were beginning to get back to normal the war in Ukraine has also played a negative role in football events this season.

Actually, since 2022 everything has started to recover and looks normal for some states. The crowd is clearly waiting for the moment to return to normal to be on the pitch with great gusto. Direct support makes the atmosphere of the match more pronounced, rather than seeing the empty spectator seats for almost 2 years. This has an impact on the stadium business which only relies on live broadcasts to be broadcast. So the gambling industry improved dramatically. Despite the fact, that gambling has never experienced a shortage of making money. I certainly have the same hope as the others, that the opening for the normal season should be done soon. We will have bigger games in the League and the World Cup this year.

That was a general problem that affected all aspects of sporting activities as much as it affected football as people were more concerned about their health and lives.
I would say you didn't feel the impact on other branch of sports because football has the most attention when it comes to sporting activities , if you had paid attention to other branch of sports,  you would have noticed the impact was much as it were to football too.


Surely everything is getting normal now and we do hope for a fantastic season ahead.

in this historical moment, the effects of the pandemic on live sports  are practically exhausted. all matches are played with a live audience, there are no travel restrictions, even for celebration (I have seen both Roma and Milan party overcrowded with a lot of people on street).

either there will be a catastrophic worsening of the situation or these restrictions will be a thing of the past....

The Covid-19 did affect gambling which made the online gambling used by many people just to gamble. For sportsbook, I think it is a big problem for the owner since many of the sports they supported depends on the sport if it is cancelled or the game will continue but on certain condition and no live audience. As I have said it did cause a lot of problem for everyone and also cause the land based casino owners to shutdown their casinos to avoid further spread of the virus. People almost doesn't have time to go outside for important matters like buying food and more. The gamblers in the land based casinos won't be able to gamble and unable to place a bet (since the casinos are closed/shutdown temporarily due to Covid-19 Virus until it will return to normal) then their only choice is to gamble in an online casino.

Football has been a big thing over the past years and when the pandemic hit, they are shock with it and probably didn’t expect to lose that much. Well, we can’t always make profit here and the pandemic really change the whole system and now most of the sports are able to adopt the new system, we might continue to see more live sports as the pandemic slowly dying, the vaccines really work and I hope that Covid19 will totally gone by next year.

The era has now been better after two years maybe we went through a lockdown which had to result in a lot of shop closures and also traditional gambling due to crowding bans, but now it has recovered all betting is running normally as some matches have been running smoothly like football and other sports , in the pandemic era and now gambling is the same but indeed the increase in online gambling is much more now there are more enthusiasts and it is simpler what we bet on.

The recovery becomes more effective and the Covid19 looks like becoming a normal flu already, though there's still a threat but it looks like people are already moving on and they are ready to accept the consequences. Most of the sports now are back with the live audience, so this could be the start of recovery and with Football I'm sure they can recover easily since there's a huge fan based and many really love this sport.

Whose the one doesnt really like for us to go back into those normal days? For sure all of us and we've seen on how this pandemic had affected lots of industries not only on sports but also in other key areas as well.

Im bit agreeing on the thing been said about crowd relevance on sports like football or even basketball or any sports that does have huge audience and on the time that pandemic hits then we've able to adjust
but its totally different when you do hear out an actual crowd noise compared on artificial ones.

This pandemic is slowly vanishing and people are starting now to go out without having any mask plus businesses are opening up their doors.We do all hope on going back into those normal days.

Sports are live again with full audience, though they lose a lot of money in the past two years but I’m confident that they can have good bounce back here since the fans are also excited to watch them playing live. This a new normal, people slowly adopting the normal and probably, this covid will become a normal flu in the coming years. People still need to be more careful though, I believe getting the vaccines can still a big help. Football is already back, fans are still with them.

Well I have noticed this but there are still strict health protocols, I would say, 2022 is the end of the epidemic and it could be back to normal in 2023 by next year. Not only on sports been affected, all kinds of activities that can create gatherings that result in a crowded place have also been affected. For now --let online gambling casinos grow more rapidly than traditional ones because of that issue.

well, covid was classified as a pandemic... and about soccer it is very evident that many teams were very strong before the pandemic but since the pandemic started those teams that were very strong started to weaken and when it came to sports betting in sport it was very difficult to predict the result, because when the person bet on the big team thinking that the big team would win the game? next day the person would hear something like: "big team X had 3 important players infected by covid" and as a result big team X lost the game. covid brought a lot of misfortune, I hope this season things go better than last season

As they say, we're in the new normal but with the looks of it, it's not a new normal but basically the same normal as before but with a new beginning.
There are still countries that are too strict with their health protocols and it's because of the covid situation in their areas. But if there's a big decrease, there can be crowded places where all fans can come together and support their favorite teams. And for as the gamblers, there goes the online betting with the use of crypto and fiat if you want to.

Of course a fresh new start is too exciting to deal with but we need to understand that this new normal will be prolonged as expected. Some may be used to watch in their homes but those avid fans that are excited to see it up close will surely be excited it live on every arenas. Can't see for sure about the idea that it will flourish but I can feel it should be the case.

Covid circumstances have made more newcomers into gambling. During those days of lockdown all about around the world, majority of the sports matches were postponed/cancelled. This made more number of users move towards casinos. For now the usage of gambling platforms have increased a lot. What the sporting industry have lost is a big revenue, as things get to move normal, automatically audience will enjoy their roles.

The pandemic is not yet over, the world is now adjusting and there is still health protocol that needs to be followed but we are trying to get to where we left off before the pandemic, humans can adjust to any situation, we've seen it in when the pandemic is on it's highest where the vaccine is not yet administered, we still have a lot of adjustment to do and everything is on recovery phase and the live sporting events is more enjoyable.
We have missed so many things we enjoy doing before the pandemic, but life must go on.

^ Definitely right because the virus was not totally eliminated and possible it will create a massive infection or worse it becomes worldwide.
We are still on the stage of the pandemic and we do not yet end, though in the other countries this was still going on but in some countries it was effective the pandemic protocols and they are very strict on it, that is why some sports are still wont work because of that. Just wait until we are back to normal and everything were right, for now, online gambling casinos are very popular and I don't think it will easily people leave online gambling.

this is somehow true. most people got stuck in their homes and were looking for entertainment activities to kill the boredom. so some people indeed find their way to online gambling sites. and later on, bitcoin and other crypto-related articles got a boost because of the btc halving among other things. so some of these individuals got their interest in crypto casinos. i believe some traditional casino players found their way in also in some online casinos. for sure, some gamblers will find a way how to cater their desires.
and this is why online gambling businesses proliferate up until now owed to this pandemic. remember, it is one of the few industries that survive during this crisis.

I am sure that many people and moreover sports betting will really miss live betting when its sport is ongoing. Well, we know that the pandemic likely froze anything in the world and made sports betting also not really highly interesting. But because the condition is now much better, we can start doing that in any time, visiting the sports place and also do betting directly. This will give a different environment to the gamblers

Some of the teams now getting lack practice because they are home quarantine but still, we know some of them to w to train even though there's a covid but it just starts when the cases go down. One of the most conquering sports games this time is e-sports because most of their training is still online so active bettors can still make a bet. Safety is a must.

Yes fan support helps a team a lot to perform in the game. It boost ups the moral and mental strength of the players.
I too agree that the corona pandemic hit hard to both the sports and betting industry.
During corona, only esports events were at top, but yes as many of us don’t watch it, so the craze wasn’t high.
Right now as the situation is coming under control, so big events are planned to be take place, so yes it will again regrow the betting industry.

Yeah, it would really be more interesting to make a bet on a certain team and watch the game live. That must be a lot more fun and exciting. Fortunately, the circumstances are already allowing that.

As for me, I'm betting on the likes of boxing, basketball, MMA, and others but I never really watched any of their matches or games live. Well, in the first place, I'm living somewhere far from the venues of these sports. But even if I'm away from real events, I still can feel the thrill watching live games on TV. How much more if the game is taking place right in front of me?

I don’t consider this as new era of betting because the sports betting is still same even before because people can still bet on sports while teams still playing on league as usual. The only difference was there’s no live crowd but that doesn’t affect the game directly because if you are pertaining to home court advantage due to crowd support, remember that all team has no crowd which is the reason its just even for all of them.

There’s nothing change in sports betting aspect except those players that can’t participate freely due to vaccine restrictions is now can play without interruption.

all things in the world are affected still of the corona virus attack so expect a slow adoption again from the general public.
this is not something that everyone wanted but we must adopt ourselves to this nature.
eventually everything will come to normal and what it use to be but this will take long , people nowadays starts to learn other things than gambling and sports because we lose watching everything for more than 2 years so basically it may not come our way our time.

Let's hope that the next waves of COVID and the new variants will be less aggressive and we will return to complete normality.


I wouldn't call it a new era for betting either, it would be more like a return to normality. Although in reality during the lockdowns what there was was a spike in betting, as there were a lot of people at home with little to do who bet more than they used to. It was a golden era for gambling houses in 2020

During the pandemic the effect was only on spectators who wanted to watch the match live in the stadium but who used to only watch on television it had no effect at all, the difference was only in the voice that could be heard and this was replaced by recorded sound.
For other sports the competition has become less because many tournaments have been cancelled. But as far as I remember all the changes only in 2020 in 2021 many have gone normally and this year everything will return to normal.
Sports betting during a pandemic only affects the number of matches that are not too many but the method will be the same through online bookies

Sports betting has existed for a long time in many forms, all oriented towards the outcome of sports competitions.
However, due to the pandemic period some time ago, all sports competitions were stopped and many betting companies reacted immediately and went into cyberspace, intensifying competition with online betting companies that have been operating for a long time and are increasingly in demand today, even to all circles.
while gambling addicts prefer to move to casino gambling because they have many choices of games and many wins in casino games that can be determined by the individual himself.

according to the news and the Department of Health the  new variants are getting weaker or less dangerous mate and it getting lessen as the days goes by though the various is easily to be acquired .
maybe what he meant is New Era in terms of the volume of bettors and the amount they will be spending .
because nowadays even gamblers learned how to keep their funds and knows how to spend right amount.

A new era for betting? Because of COVID? Nonsense. I didn't really see a huge difference between gambling during the pre-COVID and post-COVID times which is why I disagree with what you are trying to say op.

The only major difference that I observed is the lack of spectators due to COVID protocols which hasn't really impacted gamblers in a big way in crypto or FIAT gambling sites.

Gamblers always find a way to gamble regardless of external circumstances basically.

"Supporter support" isn't the most important factor for the performance of a professional football club. It might be a factor for amateur football clubs, but professional players can't be bothered by the lack of public or the lack of support.
The big problems with the pandemic were in the 2020-2021 season, with all the championships stopping, playing without audience and many football players getting infected with COVID. I think that things got back to normal in season 2021-2022, so you are a little bit late with your conclusions. ;D
I don't think that the decline of the pandemic will change the performance of the teams. Actually there might be another COVID wave, but all players are vaccinated. You are clearly exaggerating the influence of COVID over professional sports.

We are all so accustomed to the fact that here and there in the world various measures to combat COVID are being introduced and canceled, that no one is particularly surprised anymore.  And life is still normalizing in terms of the epidemiological situation. 

However, now the events in Ukraine and all sorts of sanctions, including in sports, have begun to play a big role.  It is a pity, of course, that politicians oppress athletes and entire teams. 
Sport was supposed to be out of politics, but now it is far from the case.

I think after this global epidemic, a lot of problems have occurred in sports because spectators can't watch every match live. And finally, we are entering a transitional period, namely normalization where one by one sports can be watched live even though they still have to follow strict health protocols.

I think it's only temporary because once everything can go back to normal, we can all watch all the games we want live. So we better enjoy every game and we choose which one we want.

Well at the moment since the vaccine has been created the restriction has been lower down that's why we can see a live audience cheering up for their teams, if many people would decide to get vaccinated for sure we can see all of this almost back to normal. And for sure at this moment many people are not thinking about covid since looking at streets people seems moving on and back on their feet.

I think it's like that, but I see that there is one oddity in the country I live in now, which has indeed made orders to wear masks again after several months of being freed from masks and lockdowns.
I don't know if something new has emerged or if this is just a game from those who have power, but what is certain is that this makes it an obstacle again in any case and it is clear that gambling is also included.

I could assume that the hardest blow to football and other sports suffered since the beginning of the pandemic has to do with the fact clubs can't/could not longer play in full stadiums, reducing dramatically the income in terms of tickets to see the matches in person. Nonetheless, we live in a technologically connected world which allow those clubs to earn some revenue in terms of rights to broadcast the matches through satelite and cable TV.  Football is such a big and passionate business that I am quite sure they will recover from this situation rapidly.

What you wrote is obvious. It is enough to count the losses suffered by football clubs on the fact that they could not sell tickets to stadiums. It is enough to look at how big financial problems Barcelona has fallen into, and there are hundreds or even thousands of such clubs. We can only hope that this does not happen again and we can enjoy normal full season.

You have marked your line of context in sports and especially soccer, but in general the rebound in the nature of betting that grew in those couple of years is on its way to normalize, yes! In the case of bets, in general, casinos can continue to have a significant traffic of players, but those surprising peaks (over) are going to get more realistic lines in the average of the historical ones that are handled frequently.

So because of that, times of good promotions are coming to start attracting players and keep those who are there, the World Cup in Qatar will undoubtedly be the new apex to measure how things are in terms of events and that flow of bettors that will come in the specific case of soccer.

In football fans are not called the "12th player" for no reason. Similar to how motivational music hypes you up in the gym to go closer to your limit, that's exactly how fans can impact a team for the better or for the worse. Believe me, you don't wanna be the player who gets whistled by an entire stadium.

Sports betting should certainly be more predictable this year. I'd say that teams playing at home should have an extra "edge" this season.

With crowds slowly returning to stadiums, I think it will be a huge morale boost for teams which will result to them playing more beautifully. A lot of hype matches will surely arise and a lot more epic moments will be produced. Just imagine how pumped these players are after not playing in the stadium with real, live fans watching for years. Must be extremely nice to show your talent and your skills to the world again. Betting would surely be more enjoyable and more realistic given that we're slowly returning to normalcy.

Yes you are right that mate, we need to adopt because this is it the new good governance it's been three years that we suffer from the coronavirus that makes our life controlled by our fear. And in every gambling nowadays online gambling platform is basically the choice of people who want to gamble but they are not allowed to go out side of the house because of lock down. But for now many countries slowly go back to normal and it's nice go back in the casino and play.

The corona pandemic has caused alot already on the general sport games and events not until now which things has began to go normal but still yet, many were suffering the impact till today, but as for this time henceforth, i think the whole thing has been balanced to continue with the same tempo as from before, the affected are getting to recover gradually and normalcy is restored back to sport games in general.

I look at the OP statement as a new beginning/ start for sports betting since it was derailed and took a heavy blow during the pandemic.  And now that the economy of each country beginning to open for everyone one again, OP thinks that betting or sports betting will have its former activity commence again and will perform better than before the pandemic happened. Thus for his statement "New Era" (shifting from pandemic to normal activities)


That is what OP was trying to portray I think.  But it isn't true that  Covid does not have impact on gamblers, the fact that most gamblers shifted to online gambling is one of the major pieces of evidence that gamblers are widely affected by the pandemic.

It's pandemic so basically, it's worldwide. And it's said that this virus is going to stay and will be like the typical diseases that we get like cold, flu, and other diseases that we take normally.

Hoping for that day that the world and every country will announce that we've overcome the pandemic. Although, I think that we're still quite far from situation but everyone is hopeful with that.

Covid-19 have changed a lot of things mist especially the football calendar as a lot of tournaments were shifted and sime even canceled all because of social distance rules. This have affect and impacted most teams negativelythis season.

There has to be some sort of balance in this kind of setting where businesses and football teams must attract more audiences while respecting the parameters set by the pandemic. This is one of the struggles of most business, in general, as this pandemic proved that the latter may operate in an online scale, rather than having their operations physically.

While this may be the case, people are still looking for that kind of excitement that they get on attending stadiums rather than watching it online, and this has taken a significant amount of toll to most football teams. But with viruses becoming more contagious and more mutations/variants have been introduced, I somehow doubt that we will likely return to the normal experience.

Most sectors were prejudiced by covid-19 pandemic, but it's undeniable virtual and crypto gambling ones have been growing meanwhile, as it has been already presented on this forum several times in different threads. Somehow the virus boosted gambling activity and made it more present in people's lives in different countries and cultures. Thinking on online gambling before and after the pandemic, the difference is pretty clear in every media vehicles. Now I see there is no turnback. Online gambling is here to stay and that is the first icon coming to my mind when I hear the catchphrase introduced by OP: The New Era for Betting.

Lol what we are talking here is about the situation now and now in the midst of covid? so after everything  lets tackle what we have today and the soon to come and indeed things have changed and will keep like this at lest for the next couple of years more.
but of course we can expect something new  as this will not end here because gamblers and spectators misses more actual and live betting than those online.

Fans support is not the most important but what is important is the skill of each players. Each team may feel different playing on the field with a less to no fans at all but they will definitely adjust later on. They know that all of it happens for a reason, that safety is of the audience is more important.

Even without the presence of their fans and supporters, they know that they are still cheering and praying for them in the comfort of their own home. The effects of the pandemic are not that strong as before but we should not be fully confident because there are still new cases that are coming out. People should still practice safety measures.

I am not sure if this is really the case, both smaller and larger teams rely on supporters to watch their games live. But I would expect that smaller teams get a larger percentage from their earnings directly from the supporters, whereas larger teams can also rely on sponsorship deals to cover their expenses. The biggest companies have the most lucrative sponsorship deals and most of them were not cancelled during covid pandemic as the games were shown on TV. That is why the big clubs should still have all their money to keep running the most successful teams. Also the big tournaments didn't seem to have changed much during covid. The Champions League final 2021 was Man City vs Chelsea and this years final was Liverpool vs Real Madrid, so the same teams as usual still competing at the top. I felt like the first season during covid football lost a lot of it's charm without any fans actually watching the game. Seeing a whole stadium completely empty was a bit depressing for me, the flags and fans shouting makes up most of the football atmosphere.

The current situation is better than 2 years or 1 year ago because with normalization in many countries and people have been allowed to leave their homes, tournaments have started again. This raises interest for people to watch the game live and once everything is back to normal, I mean even better, we can be free from the pandemic and everything will run smoothly again. But there have been many changes in social society because of yesterday's pandemic, and the world order has also changed with normalization regulations.

I believe what Op is making out is that the restrictions of covid-19 are no more and things have returned to normal on sports not like everything is now new. The games are still the same thing, the players and every other thing as usual is getting back to normal unlike during the time we had some players being out of games because they caught the covid-19 virus and are quarantine. Back then in 2020 and 2021, the field and spectators stands were scanty because of the restrictions that made the games boring to watch because there is an extra feeling of the game from the gearing of the crowd and the commentary  contributing to the razzmatazz of the game.

That is true. Back then when covid 19 was at peak nobody was even allowed to go out without a valid reason.
Also, there were times when although players from various sports were allowed to play their games, many were not available to get to the games.
Sports have indeed faced a troublesome time but it's good to see that things are finally back to normal now.
People are visiting stadiums, playing live casinos as well as the online casino sites are having a good traffic.

I never stated that COVID had zero effect on gamblers in my previous statements. I merely pointed out that it didn't usher in a new era of gambling or anything even though it did impact gambling sites to some extent.

Probably. He could have simply mentioned pre-pandemic and post-pandemic gambling since a new era of gambling makes zero sense.

Am not sure everything about the football settings as it were before the Advent of the global epidemic will completely take place. Looking back at the middle of 2020 football fans will never forget too quick how boring it was for us all, and so we would really be glad for this season, even as we all try to keep to the covid19 rules so we can eventually have it better as it were ;D

I don't think that the period that you are referring to can be considered a new era. I believe there are lots of factors to be considered before you can tell/declare a new "era". It must meet these factors.
For betting, personally I didn't saw any decline for the number of bets being staked. Snd honestly I think online betting became vast than ever since the pandemic started.

Yes, I also have that same impressions because due to boresome more people gambles after learning this online activities, I mean because of pandemic there are people who spend most of their time online and finding gambling site is another way of entertaining themselves makes gambling industry stand up and cater more people than the regular before the pandemic.

Though the bad impact is there are also many people who use money that came from the relief of the government, overspent the money into gambling.

Contrary to Op, I have the same impression too. The pendamic period made people who are majorly offline begin to shift grounds to online, including business. It also made people who were already online to be more strengthened and convinced that they were on the right track.
Many offline or local casinos were shutdown as everyone was indoors, that was actually the period that every business that was based online was booming and it rather gave online casinos some advantages rather than disadvantages.
The only challenge was that people were skeptical to spend because they didn't know how long the pendamic would last.

The covid-19 affect many aspects of life and affect schools, sports, economy and many other things  that made many people to lose there jobs and cry for help including funds. Now things are just coming and improving gradually and I hope the changes will be as fast as much. The gambling world really had so many new participants that look into gambling for alternative means to survive.

I saw a video before that a food store that only sells on a sports stadium learned that their business has still a lot of room to grow. If not because of pandemic, they wouldn't know that they have more potential customers if they market their product online. When they promoted it and got popular, the owner said it helped them a lot to survive the pandemic and not close his business.

Yes, it makes people happy to go outside and watch the game live in the stadium. This condition will get better after the virus or pandemic is completely over and disappears from the world. And fortunately, many people have decided to follow the vaccination, which has greatly helped the government reduce the death rate due to the virus. Hopefully, the current restrictions will disappear soon so we can go anywhere without any restrictions.

In my country, and in my preferite stadium, there were a lot of food seller around it. When there were pandemic, everyone has closed its store and try to move in other part of town, results was that after 2 year at least 35%

of them has definitively close his activity. So, sometimes depends, but the best thing for an entrepeneur anyway is always to research alternative of work for his activity.

I felt that during (pandemic), there wasn't much that could be done what else to do in the world of sports, especially football, I was more silent than having to place bets, it wasn't fun watching on the screen.

2022 is a lucky year for sports bettors, myself included, what's more, the world cup in Qatar is coming soon, this is the moment that many sports fans and bettors have been waiting for for their best teams, I'm sure this season as you said one nice thing, I hope there will be no more corona when the world cup takes place in Qatar.

For sure, people are enjoying betting on all sports these days and we are in the pre-covid phase where everything was normal.

I remember in 2020 sports were totally banned and there were very limited options for betting. 2021 was better than 2020 but still, we had some limitations in sports like matches were held without crowds, etc.

2022 seems to be the best year for sports and betting.

It may not be the best but definitely, a lot of things with regard to sports have improved tremendously.
Just take for example, the boxing sports were conducting a lot of exhibition matches in replacement of the real ones.
But at least, people had some form of entertainment and some of these old boxers got some money from these exhibition fights.
And the Paul brothers got their share of limelight even if they are not really professional boxers.
But after this, we are now seeing boxing matches with belts on the line. Even if there is another scare like monkeypox, I think, we are indeed going back to normal.

And even in exhibition fights gambling still available, we as gamblers have that chance to bet with those fights and like you mentioned those old fighters who do we love seeing inside, the ring was able to entertain the fans. Though personalities like the Paul brothers and other ufc fighters manage to gain some attentions, it's a more alternate means for gamblers to bet and see some luck.

we are now in a pre-pandemic and lots of fights are in the line, more gambling sites that open and more opportunities to

enjoy those perks from different house who offers bonuses. It's more about how you pick your platforms and take the advantages.

Everything not only football should make an adjustment now, the pandemic is not officially over the past two years took a big toll on revenues on almost all industries not only live sports, but the only betting industry gains a lot from this situation, although we seem to be back to normal there is still health protocol that needs to be followed.

It will take some time before we really get back from what we used to enjoy three years ago but our scientists and authorities are working hard to get everything to normal, not only pandemic but wars, inflation, and poor economic situation, there's still a lot of things to deal with.

The impact is still felt today even though the current situation is much more under control. Especially regarding gambling, I think during the pandemic there was a big improvement in the industry as most of the gamblers who used to play in physical casinos had to switch to online casinos due to restrictions.

But of course once the pandemic subsides then gamblers seem to find it easier to fulfill their desire to gamble regardless of whether they want to gamble online or physically. There has been an increase in the inflow of money into the post-pandemic gambling industry mainly because people may have recovered from a bad financial situation in the last 3 years.

Large number of gamblers who are regular participant of physical caisnos moved into online gambling platforms. During the same time period more number of gambling sites came into usage. This increase in userbase as well as the gambling sites brought more inflow of money. During the pandemic gambling industry experienced big success. Some of the physical casinos too started their online gambling service.


As mentioned people who are stuck without business and lack of employment benefits started to progress as situation slowly came back to normal life. During this time period more sports betting persons have shifted their interest towards casino games as there is no sports activities during the pandemic.

I just adore football! The year of Covid-19 was so difficult also for this reason...I hope that over time my favorite sport will become the same as before

There are many ways that the football or any other sports events generates their income, starting frombthe live numbers of spectators, on-line subscribers, gambling predictions and bettings and so on, the reason why we see that some of the big teams got affected is because the higher the were, the higher the requirements been expected from them, but people can't do without any of these sport activities that's why you see them recovering immediately they resume back from the pandemic break.

Most of the sports related having a bad time too at the same time practice because of the pandemic there's a lot of restriction but today there's some changes because there's a lot of international doing back again also at the same time the stadium, allowing the viewers again to come but still there's some thing need to manage like the restriction to make sure all of the people are safe in the venue.

monkeypox spread in a few countries but there is nothing like the covid-19 virus which affected the world simultaneously. I hope the world never sees such a virus ever again.

We are now enjoying almost every sport and this will continue now. Hopefully, there will be no more viruses affecting the world.

As for me, the season 2021-2022 was normal. It was not a big problem to get tickets on the match. And this season willn`t be normal - it will be a World Championship in Qatar. And it starts in the end of November, when all countries championships are played. I can`t say right now is it a good decision, but i`m sure that we`ll have some problems in the local championships due to this event.

If this globally pandemic has brought tremendous effects on most of the physical games, well online betting has also been given a chance to flourish and succeed. You can just enjoy the game watching at the expense of your home. However, since we are now in new normal, football and the rest of sports games have started to be alive again gaining back the interest of the players and the audience themselves. Just never mind the masks and vaccinations as they will always be part of the new normal.

Improvement is always there even if there's no pandemic that occurs because if there are improvements, existing players are going to feel more satisfied so they will stay on that casino and they will try to gamble more than usual. Online casinos know that there might be offline casino players that are willing to try them so they also integrate metaverse on their services.

We know how metaverse works, and that is it has the ability to bring the real world experience online or on the virtual world. Pandemic seem to have a good benefit as it lead for the people to discover things that they didn't know before. Now they have more options to choose from.

as the competition among online casinos are getting tough everyday, the owners/developers should think of ways how to sustain their players. thus, they do need to innovate their services and adopt some features that will keep up the interest of their players. as we have seen, a casino or sportsbook has been launched regularly. it means, if the casino won't keep up with the current demands of their players, they may possibly be left behind.

As to maintain their costumers a casino needs to have regular running promotion and contest so that their costumers will stick to them since if they don't do anything then rely only on their fame for sure they will be out played on new doing their best to promote their business to more people possible they reached. Casino owners need to think something new or adopt to the trend to survive on this business.

It is known that it is way easier to keep a customer that you already have than to try to win a new customer which may already be playing at another casino, it is because of this that casinos are always trying to offer all kind of bonuses to new and their existing players in order to win them over or to keep them respectively, a casino that ignored such a thing will soon find itself without new customers coming and with their current players leaving for more generous casinos, and from that point on if the casino does not change their ways then their demise is almost inevitable.

Actually, this pandemic is not 100% ended because there are some new variants always changing from time to time. But, we seem to be usual with the condition and the new variants may not be as high as the previous.
That is why any sports have been opening the watch live at the stadium or on the spot.
This also relates to gambling and sports betting where the gamblers can visit the spots directly and feel the euphoria directly. This will be different, of course, compared with online betting sports.
See, how long it's been waiting for this new era, after several years of not going on live sports because of this pandemic. Many people are really exciting.

Actaully, in terms of damage control, MMA and Boxing didn't come to Football, Basketall and other sports that require more than two player, I know that it require just a single person to start a turnament in boxing but if you compare it to other sporting activities, it is very easy to handle when a single player becomes corona positive and quickly evacuate and quarantine than when a single player that is in the mix of 11 players, football requires you to attack an opponent which brings you too expose to other players.

Football clubs will not be able to return to the pre-pandemic time and live as before. For everyone, the distribution of income was familiar: about a third of the revenue was provided by commercial activities, media outlets and the stadium — covid broke this system, the benchmarks shifted. Given the latest news that the incidence is growing again, I'm afraid to assume that restrictions will be introduced again. Before the pandemic, it was believed that there were about 30 elite, influential clubs in Europe that could participate in making key decisions. The crisis reduced this number, and the attempt to create a Super League only confirmed: now there are about ten such teams. And among them only representatives of England, Italy and Spain.

Yes.. you are absolutely right, and just the same way football before the Covid19 pandemic wasn't the same as the 1990s, so will football after the pandemic not be the same before the pandemic, because change is the only thing constant in life, and as such life should be given top priority before any other, because you and I know that a lot of persons died during the pandemic period and it will be unethical to still give room for such in the near future, because no matter how the game of football is been played people will still find joy in it. So healthy living first should be our top most priority

Last year was okay unlike what happened in 2020 where there's no life since fans are not permitted to watch live inside the dome.
That's for basketball though, I don't have an idea if the same happened with football.
I think it's getting better and better and as I said last year was a success and a small number of players are reported to be affected by the coronavirus unlike the year before it when the league itself find a way to continue each game by pulling other players from a lower league.
Yes, just for the roster to be complete with some backups. 10-day contracts.

In this process, especially for football, I think that the big teams lose more power in general. Because supporter support is one of the most important criteria. This season, we will have a more normal season and I think we can watch better matches. Of course, we may also be entering a more enjoyable period for betting.
[/quote]

I disagree with you. The big teams didn't lose any power as you said because the clubs were still making huge profits with the sales of jerseys of big names in the club. The big teams were only affected by the sales of tickets because football supporters and fans were not allowed to come inside the stadium to watch the game because of the deadly virus covid. It was the small clubs that were affected as there were not many ways for them to make a profit during that time of covid because they had few number of stars that people will likely buy their jersey numbers but yet it was not announced that any of the small teams went bankrupt or find it difficult to pay their players.

No, he wasn't talking about the infection of the virus but he was referring to the crowd but indeed that other team based sports like basketball and football are the ones that are mostly affected with this because they have a wider stadium and their crowd are much more compared to the two fighting sports that we talked about earlier. They made a temporary fix for this where they put an artificial crowd and then there is also a sound along with it.

I think that's better and it does not look boring at all to watch. In terms of virus, they will do a testing and if there are players who are positive, they can't play and there will always be a reserve player that will replace that position.

Well, as we know by now.... Most of the Corona Virus hysteria has past now... and people have realized that it was all hyped up by governments and paid media to push for their agenda to print money for big pharmaceutical companies and to get big kickbacks and bribes. So now stadiums are filled again.... and that is what athletes need to perform better.  ;)

I watched some Rugby games that was streamed during the pandemic and it was very sad.... and without the usual spark that we were used to when the stadiums were full.  ::)

There may not be more restrict as it were before because i remember in UK when the cases go beyond they could cope they had to olace that same restriction on every sport events but within a short period of time they couldn't cope anymore with that, they had to let people has their freedom back and get access to their normal lives but the sport event suffers a great loss then and that has nothing to do with the protocols laid down on every sport and gambling event because every aspect was then affected really bad, but we may not experience it to that extent anymore regardless of the situation.

As someone who worked closely with pharmaceuticals, hospitals, governments, and laboratories during the height of the pandemic, I wouldn't say that it was all for big pharma companies to get a big boost on their profits. We were tasked to collect data independent of those that the government are getting, so as to contribute to the global initiative of COVID cases reporting that is unbiased and factual. The difference isn't night and day, and there really was a problem in COVID outbreaks before. But since people were able to build up immunity and natural resistance to the virus over time, the cases that we're getting right now are much less severe and can be treated even at the comfort of the infected person's home.

 

I agree, though I must say that the local leagues that we have this year are extremely lively since it's been over 2 years with no live sporting events for our community. There's that at least, though hopefully the big leagues can catch up with the hype.

At the beginning of the corona there was no interruption in sports but when it became a pandemic, all sports were stopped.

There was a kind of irritation among the people due to not playing for a long time. But whenever the corona virus pandemic was in under control, the trend of the game increased a lot. After pandemic, there has been a huge change in sports, especially in gambling. Now most of the gamblers are gambling in online. Which gives the gambler many advantages. Comparatively the gambling market increase from all aspects after Corona circumstance.

I agree with your statement.

With almost everyone missing on sports action, most sports teams had to adjust their ways and change their system in order to integrate a new way in approaching their respective sports, while maintaining physical distancing due to the dangers of the virus. I remember back in 2020, the NBA was able to cast their games but this required very stringent rules on the players and on the teams about quarantine.

Now that most sports have been given the green signal to participate, this brought the interest of everyone again. Thus, increasing more gamblers in the process due to the long hiatus when the pandemic happened.

The existence of this pandemic has had a major impact on all businesses in real life so it has also limited the daily movement of people outside the home. But these restrictions will gradually be eased if the pandemic can begin to subside and although there are still restrictions on gathering in some countries, it's just so that they don't congregate in one place at the same time. After this pandemic, I'm sure everything will return to normal, including sporting events so we have to understand that because it's all for our health as well.

There were measures that kept people afar from being infected and this was a result of the pandemic and there were no matches most especially football, Boxing 🥊, Racing and all sorts of sporting. Currently I don't think if there were much effects or limitations regarding sporting though most the country still observing some cases and as well following covid-19 protocols.
Really 2020 was a thoughtful year one can't just forget about.

You wouldnt know how far you can go if adversities did not hit you. Many businesses that have offline customer base thought that they have arrived until they were hit by pandemic such that their customers couldn't come out to patronise them. It became obvious that there was paradigm shift and there need to be adjustments to meet up with the new order. Covid-19 removed food from the mouth of many and it also tripled the income of many as people with offline base lost their prospects to online companies. Same thing happened in gambling.

Of course there is a significant increase considering that in this case because indeed when we were in a pandemic, let alone going to gamble, we just couldn't get out so it would be very difficult to gamble even though there was already online gambling at that time, it was still very difficult because indeed the fact is that sometimes we are also faced with the necessities of life during Lockdown.
When we are done in this lockdown it is like being released again after we have been locked for so long that so many people spend their time happily especially in gambling.

There are active rules that still exist from some countries who continue to count numbers of active virus, they are still observing health protocols, in terms of gambling pandemic really affects this industry and we have seen that after some countries gives a sign of opening sports back, there are many available fights and competitions that now being catered by sport bookies.

Sports betting is again rallying high with more games that being open, and promoters and league/organizations are also pushing games/ fight  for bettors and fans.

Not only on sports industry but also in industries as well where they are starting up to open up their doors where even despite of the existing pandemic situation but it seems or turns out that people doesnt really

care anymore or simply they arent already afraid for such thing to gets worst.I do even see places which they arent already wearing their mask or simply just going back into those normal days.
We cant really be still that confident because the situation might become even more worst once again but for sure people or us is already that prepared in terms of vaccination and cure

Lots of industries is indeed been affected but we know that recovery and fixing things is something that we do normally do.

The majority of the world is now well out of the Covid era and back to business as normal - well, with all the financial pressures surrounding inflation and broken supply chains factored in. I'm not sure your last statement is true, I think the biggest teams will always benefit from the normal situation because they get the most exposure on places like TV which generates even more fans further down the line. Even places like Wembley stadium have been back to normal with full capacity for about a year now, so we're far past that point. It's a bit unfortunate in some respects, like Covid caused an interruption to the never ending cycle of bigger player transfer costs and wage packets.

The Covid-19 era saw a lot of persons to an entirely different kind of lifestyle for which, most of the world got used to while others didn't. It made others to look in areas where they saw less value, not excluding gambling. There was a serious need for a get away from the hardship that accompanied the pandemic for most that didn't have essential services to offer and where confined in there homes by government order to feed on there reserves and when it's exhausted, its only natural to look else where.
This ushered in gambling for a means of earning ends means and you can tell it stock for some as a highly addictive field whole others used it for a positive means to survive the season at most but it sure enriched the gaming field with new customers.

I believe most of them who's trying to use gambling as means of earning will definitely NOT sustain doing that for a very long time. It's like those people in the Trading sub, who are very positive that they can make a living using "day-trading". I'm not a person to discourage anyone from trying, but facts are facts, 90% of people don't profit enough to be called successful day-traders. It might be a little more in gambling in games that have house edge.

I agree, unless you are really very lucky you might be able to sustain. But we all know that it is base on luck and there will be a time that you might not just experience one lost, but in succession.

Although I would admire one man that I know off, who make gambling his bread and butter, have his son graduated in colleges. I'm not saying that the money came from pure gambling. But I know for a fact that he bring food in the table for the money he win.

I could only say that it is not easy to earn money from pure gambling and even have a son who graduated from college because it will be tough for him to do that.
Only a few people can do like what he did and I am sure he is a risk taker by playing gambling as we know that playing gambling for a long time does not give us the money but he gets that.
I am curious what gambling games he played? Is it card games or sports betting?
Because that two types of gambling games can give us a chance to earn money from gambling, we need to find out the right information to place a bet for sports betting and have skills in card games.

To be honest, I don’t really believe that it’s possible to earn so much for a long time. 
More precisely, it is probably possible, but only if the financial turnover constantly included in gambling is 10-20-25% of the capital that this person has in total.  If you never exceed the established limit and be very careful in your bets in gambling, probably only then you can earn money from gambling for a long time.  Otherwise, I don't think it will work.  Even the most brilliant players will not succeed.  Of course, if the game is fair without insider information.

The corona outbreak that attacked has made a lot of losses from various aspects of life including sports and gambling, during corona we have been forced to lock ourselves at home without much entertainment available and even football match which was previously entertainment for us had stop due to the increasingly widespread spread of the virus,  the cessation of football matches has made many football clubs have to suffer losses and are also financially disturbed due to not having sources of income such as from tickets and others, but fortunately now the corona is starting to disappear, although some cases still occur but at least we can still carry on normally without any excessive fear of corona again, in less than a month we will see the world football competition again being held and hope that everything will run smoothly without a pandemic that hits.

Covid made it hard for physical gaming activities to strive since after the covid 19 pandemic and the lockdown a lot of games have moved online and that is virtual gaming, and quite a lot of people have adopted those to keep themselves busy and also as a means to earn some extra cash to survive the time.

Yeah, or you are very lucky to make six digits because of a winning streak, and with that new capital you can use it for other more stable profit-making activities. I believe it's also the same with trading/investing or starting a business. You definitely will need the luck, not just hard work. Hard work without luck has a higher probability for failure.

The organization will try to make things as normal as it is, we know how pandemic hit the business and now that they see the opportunities they will now try to maximize not just the potential profits but also the entertaining part, having he fans supporting their teams it's something that bring the league to the max level.

Football generates huge crowds, there are fans who really waiting for these upcoming events and they are really excited to see how the league will proceed since the pandemic is no longer that much active.

Can't argue with that because there is indeed those people who are much luckier than us when it comes to gambling, I'm not saying that they have some way to avoid some losses because that's really inevitable but their wins is much more greater than what they've lost.
I'm quite certain about their luck because my uncle is like that, he had 4 kids and all of them already graduated from college. Well, he got a main job but his salary doesn't amount that much to get his kids into college and afford a 4 or 5 year course.

Again. Why are you talking about a pandemic this season? Last season everything was fine, and there were no problems with the pandemic. But we have problems this season - we have the World Cup in November-December. This will change everything in local championships. I cannot predict any results. Weak teams will get an advantage because their players will rest.

You know, when players rest so much, they get to loose there rhythm, there winning mentality but the stressed players who continues to be involved in the game, always on the pitch, though they might be stressed, they sure do get better at the games and it's a mentality they would carry to the leagues. Not to mention, all on an international team don't play on the same club side so, this kind of equates the platform and it becomes subject to individual performance a that point. More over, weaker teams don't get to future more on an international scale given the player quality.

The bets made on virtual games were limited and not interesting at all.

Thanks for 2022, where we are seeing full physical sports tournaments and betting also in full swing. Bookmakers and sports betting business is also on the rise in this year and it was very much limited in the covid-19 days.

We should be prepared because is like another set of covid is coming again ..now that the US president was diagnosed of having COVID some days ago which means that we can entering into another season of this virus that had killed lots of people and render many people useless not having a job to sustain themselves or have the finance to get things done by themselves. I pray this should not come again.

The latest news that the US President condition has improved and hopefully the latest covid virus variant does not experience a high spike in transmission, we hope that anything related to any covid variant will no longer kill many people, we hope the future can be free from covid. Regarding casinos, after the US President tested positive for covid, what are the government actions for public places and will public regulations be tightened including for traditional casinos?

As you said, 2020 may the worst year for all sport activities becuase of limitations, fear and some strict rules.
But here in my country 2021 was also not good. Challenges with out fans was not cool and also not excited.

And yes. I think big clubs lose more power. I don't know what will happen this or next seasons. But last 2 years took some good reputations. Yes maybe some big clubs won the title but. But you really think we watch same teams as we did before covid?  No I think. Big clubs may won the title but some small teams gained a good things I think. And we will see really what's going on.

This bottleneck I believe, will be overcome by these athletes.
As we are heading back to normal situation, these players are also starting to go back to their normal routine.
We can understand that some of them really do need to recover from pandemic way of life.
But in time, they will return to where they were, it is not easy being a bum for about couple of years, right?  :P
So the betting, it may be slightly different, but give it a time, and they will be back on their feet.

Adopting a new environment will take some time to fully absorb and become used to it.

Having a large audience that supports a team or players really plays a big role in their performance but regardless, they should also be able to play at their best under any circumstances as that's why they are there and chosen as a player. Becoming weak because there's no audience shouldn't be a big problem to bear for long. But anyway, since almost the entire sports league is coming back to its usual scene where big audiences are now allowed, we should also feel now the excitement prior to the pandemic.

The adjustment phase is part of the process after a change in a sports environment.

I`m looking mostly English Premier League. And i see the difference between how they begin play at the start of the season and how the play at November. The World Championship will be more interesting, because the players will be in the best conditions that time. But the same time the players works hard and in the same style from the August to the May. And such events break training mode. It can become a problem for the players. And the players who willn`t play for their national teams will break training mode too. May be they willn`t get injures due the World Championship, but the chance to get injury after will be higher.

If you can’t cope up with the competition, you will certainly lose in this game. Casino operators should be more resourceful at least and put new interesting promotions and bonuses as often as they can because that’s one way of keeping their old customers and gaining new customers as well. Because admit it or not, customers will never stick in old trend casinos, they will always look for new trends that will keep them excited to play. That is why online betting in casinos nowadays are more successful than physical casinos because there are more new promotions and bonuses that they try to embrace, compared to old plain casinos.

It's critical since 2020 up to this moment for some leagues and countries. But as much as I see, there have been recovery plans for these sporting events and as well as clubs or sports organizations on how they're going to keep up with the current situation.
So far, we've been seeing good progress in the sports area and closed indoor audiences have been there as long as the medical protocols have been maintained and implemented.

In Ecuador, the local leagues have also lost a bit of power, this is due to the pandemic, it brought many losses not only for the teams but for everyone, the decrease in jobs, the layoffs, the way everything changed, and this was seen in football, I am a fan of Barcelona, and for me it is a team that fell a lot during the pandemic, the fact that they did not sell products and tickets to their stadium affected them a lot, also the fact that the players were losing conditions , Messi had not yet been kicked out, but that coup was already in the making.

I believe that the global corona virus epidemic really pushed down the interest for many things like sports gambling but other online gambling was not really one of them. If anything I think the other online gambling casinos branches really profited off the new, bored and locked-down gamblers. But since sports players could not have the freedom to play, it really took the wind out of the fans sails. I think a large number of sport fans never returned after corona was over (basically over).

But thats just a logical conclusion, I might be completely wrong...

well maybe the point here is that If you have a college graduate son then there will be someone to fill the bag for foods so we can continue gambling without thinking for food anymore?
Well Gambling is Full of risk so indeed that mostly they are risk taker and willing to Lose just for them to win.
all gambling can bring us chance to earn money but all needs a luck to succeed and that is the reality of this area of earning .

We did really fall into those alternatives that we had done in the past or on the time the pandemic hits.It is really understandable that it is really need to make out adjustments and we've seen with those

fake crowd or audience noise into those sport which does have common crowd and it is really still a considerable replacement rather than on playing around without any noise which even players
cant really play well nor having some effect and now that we are starting to go back into normal days then it would really be nice to see and look back on what these sports should really be.

We should move forward yet every things in life could be a challenge for us to bare and survive and make adjustments if its really needed.

You're right here, the virtual sport games were less affected during the pandemic raid, lot of things went wrong while some were lay on pause during the period just for the normalcy to occur and now things were better than were before, the advance technology system in businesses and sport makes it have less effects on some individuals even though at the expense of the economy because the whole system is running on inflation, just few were less affected with the effect of covid 19 pandemic.

With the new technology, after experiencing the pandemic there are more new ways to continue betting, the digital world will always find ways and will try to work on whatever the situation will be, it's true that everything got stop especially for sports that needed to be dealing with face to face but there are e-games that still can be done without it.

With fewer cases of the virus the show must go on, and we will see how the sports community will maximize these opportunities to bring back the joy and entertainment, and the gambling market will not allow to be left behind they will offer every possible way as well to maximize the chances of all those loyal patrons and newcomers.

After the vaccine releases, there are a lot of people that don't mind anymore with the virus because they think they are already safe but it is just lessen the risk only to get a covid and also the investors and businessmen see the potential of having an online gambling casino even though they didn't open through physical casino still they can make an earning with the adaptation of the cryptocurrency at the same time. By that the both sides satisfied the casino runs and get their earnings and the players satisfied themselves to play gambling.

Yes that's true, i see gambling as the only aspect that should have less effects of the covid 19 pandemic because it has no barriers to the administration of how users can play or enjoy it, during the lockdown period, the internet was not locked down, virtual and digital economy continue it runnings, and this is of big advantage for some of the digital gambling casinos, and the use of cryptocurrency in gambling preferably than fiat also id another reason they got less challenges during the Pandemic.

all sports want to return to the way they used to be, not just football I think, but as we know football is a favorite sport for all people, and this season the value of bets will be even greater because the market returns to normal, and in the gambling industry they find new players who are expected to be able to win.

Well, gambling is a general term. For gambling activities such as card games and dice games, just to mention some of the popular ones, these are indeed less affected by restrictions across countries but since there's this sporta gambling, I think it would be qrong to generalize gambling as something to not be affected by the pandemic. Tournaments are not allowed in this mentioned category of gambling, which limits the fanatics of sports gambling to their enjoyment. Also, there's this 'live' feeling which excites gamblers more; betting and seeing the result of their play at first hand. So I guess the medium of payments, such as cryptocurrency as OP suggest, won't be the bottomline of the scenario, but it would quite help especially with regards to avoiding taxation and convenience ofcourse.

A lot of it has to do with the government regulating people's actions. Its mostly artificial so I doubt that it will stay as a long-time trend. Things will slowly but surely go back to how they were, so online gambling casinos as well as physical casinos should see this as a short setback. I think they would have been better prepared if the governments gave a few months warning before implementing further restrictions and lockdowns. Most people had no idea what the government was going to do next and it really messed up people's businesses.

Almost everyone like football it is true and maximum of gamblers like to bet for sports of football and gamblers didn’t care market conditions any time. All professional gamblers continue their gambling all the time. market conditions is not fucking motivation for them. But every noobs gamblers think about market conditions

But there's nothing that the government can do if emergency needs to be imposed in terms of limiting people from attending wide gathering like sports events. They are more on preventing the spread. I understand what you are trying to point here and I agree it's a messed with every business when the government didn't give enough time before implementing rules and gambling is included to several rules that are applied.

You are right the pandemic brought so many changes, as most physical activities were moved online, but those that could not move online such as football were negatively affected by the coronavirus. This resulted in a delay of many leagues in the last two seasons, but other gambling activities such as casino base games witnessed high traffic and this have lead to.more development in the gambling industry.

Outbreaks do not wait for anyone, so I don't think that giving casinos the leeway of waiting for a few months to get ready would help either sides anyway. More and more people would just contract the virus and more and more funds will be spent to healthcare, which may force the government to order lockdowns that are even longer compared to when they ordered everything a little earlier. That will hurt their profits even more IMO, and business owners don't usually like that.

When it comes to certain industries then they had been hit hard but there are some who do make out adjustments and still able to run even with some major adjustments just not to fully stopped because of this

pandemic situation.It is indeed bring up lots of changes but still some industries do able to sustain but of course the revenue is highly affected but now that everything turns out on going back to normal
then its time to cope up on what they had missed or lost into those past years that we had experienced.

Of course online gambling did really become the main trend and getting much revenue due to quarantine and stuffs.

From what I have seen I think you are Italian, and the truth is that it is a beautiful country that one day I would like to know, I understand that the Italians invented football, I have read it in some books, we think that the forerunners of football should be in this World Cup However, I hope that this team, which is one of my favorites, will be for the next one, and everything related to the customs of football catches my attention, in my country we have never been to a World Cup, and about 30 years ago In the past, the use of alcoholic beverages was even allowed, currently they no longer allow it because people lose control and it is prohibited, the meals around do not exist, only those that are normally established, and are those that are under legal conditions, although around They usually put up some food sales that sometimes give them good profits.

Many gamblers moved online as at the time it was the only way to keep gambling as casinos were closed like a great deal of businesses around the world, however this does not mean those casinos went online, gamblers played at online casinos which were already established while casinos which had a physical presence most likely failed to move their operations online, and most likely a great number of them went bankrupt due to the pandemic.

Well, I don't know about that because if he can make money gambling until he can use the money for his son's college tuition until his son graduates, that's an amazing story.
We know that gambling is a difficult way to make money, instead of making money, we can lose all our money.
From there, I thought it would be difficult for her to make money for her son's college tuition and to buy food and daily necessities.

Yes, indeed. That is why not many gamblers can take the risk and accept the risk and even make money from gambling.
It will be very difficult to do that because of the loss factor we can get from gambling.

That's what makes not many gamblers win so much in gambling that most of them will lose.
This should make us realize that we can never be like those who can make money from gambling.

I think it's not only about the vaccine part but many people starts to realize that this all was only a drama. The situation nowadays are not tight as before. Many establishments have now opened up and the public are now free to use them again but only for some conditions like they still need to wear a face mask and maybe do some social distancing, just to be safe in case there are some customer who are positive.

I think that some of the owners of crypto casinos don't also start with the physical one's but fortunately they be able to manage it well though it will become more easier if they already have an experience before.

Judging by the news and information from the attending physicians and specialists, the virus mutates rather quickly and adapts to bypass the vaccines developed two to a year or even half a year ago.  It looks like humanity will coexist with the virus for a long time, if not forever, as, for example, everyone is now used to the flu.  If this is true, then the physical casino industry will still decrease in attendance because many will be afraid of unnecessary contacts with other players who may be carriers of mutated viruses.  On the other hand, online casinos should, of course, increase the volume of users, but, I think, not as much and massively as it was at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. 
So the balance of physical/online casinos will shift slightly towards online.

There are many Things happen during and after pandemic we all know that during pandemic time it's hard to bet in the casino because the government do not allow gamblers who gamble in the casino and also you see right that mate some facilitator in casino afraid in physical contact because it hows the virus spreadout but a big thanks to the internet and some gamblers can gamble in online.

Even with the restriction made by government during the pandemic break that halted almost all gambling activities from taking place except for virtual, many of the casino operators and other gambling games inventors take the bold step forward in reaching out to the people by supplying them with releived materials during the pandemic lockdown while some other remain mute doing nothing, some government as well remain adamant while some shifted ground and will never be forgotten.

I don't agree that we're returning to normal here. We're moving from a locked down state of pandemic into a state of global recession. They opened all the entertainment again for people to use but we had market crashes all over and huge inflation. People are afraid to spend their money because they need savings in case they lose their jobs in a global meltdown or another lockdown comes. As you probably know China didn't completely end the lockdowns and their banks are starting to steal money. This could be the beginning of something big.

Almost all types of physical sports are merely affected by the pandemic but we're already in the recovery period and everyone has almost adopted the changes caused by the pandemic. However, that doesn't mean that it should affect the gameplay of players negatively. They stopped for a while but they still had a long time preparation to excel in their fields again. I hope that during this recovery phase, everything both online and physical sports betting will go back to what it used to be before the pandemic.

The government and alls its vassals and politicians and liars did certainly do a lot of damage during the corona pandemic, thats for sure. But at least we saw their true colors. Whenever there is an emergency, those are the people who will betray us first.

Although having said that gambling casino's game developers and operators did do some things which could be seen as relief for the lock-down-ees but being as pessimistic and suspicious as I am, I would probably say that 99% of that was just good marketing and PR.

Just like a megacorporation wearing blm flags on their social media accounts. Im not buying it.

It will be expected though there are some that might be still affected mentally but sooner or later they will be able to adopt and start to move forward and work with how the process comes up with them, pandemic hits everyone and there's no doubt that gambling industry are also affected especially those that inside offshore sports events.

But like what you just said, we are now in the recovery stage and hopefully everything will work accordingly.

It's a process that both sides are needed to accustom now.

we'll get over it all

I think I will just put you're fact, because during a pandemic time people was making use of Internet as a friend and a relative so therefore I am of the opinion that many people were into that gambling during the pandemic time especially does people who are into casino game on the poker gambling even soccer betting gambling many people use their smart phone laptops to book gambling games online instead of going to a visual centre or centralized areas we are government instructed not to go.

It's true that we're in inflation and the global crisis for now, but it looks like we're getting used to this kind of thing if we look at the experiences that happened during the pandemic. Honestly what big thing do you mean destruction or some other disaster?

For a common country yes that was true but for those countries who are known to be the gambling capital then people are still allowed to gamble on them because this is where their government gets most of their revenues although they will still apply a safety measure for all of their customers so that all are safe from the virus.

Even if those facilitators are afraid, they can't help it but still show up every day because this is where they get money to live but for a gambler, they have the option to stay at home because there are still gambling sites where they can play online. Luckily we have passed thru that hard times and we are now experiencing some relief.

Well, even if we are now living in this new normal, I still think that the pandemic is still going on. The reason why most of the people still play online and bet on their favorite teams through online. We can’t also blame them because it’s always safety first before anything else. While some people are starting to see real games from their big stadiums, others are still doing online betting as they feel more convenient doing it at home without a need to travel far from homes.

This pandemic destroy a lot, in 2020 pandemic control our physical activity and even socializing to our friends and in terms of gambling. But for me online gambling which is very known in pandemic days has a big role for me even though I am a small time gambler and also lazy enough to go to in the casino when I am discovered the online gambling I am happy because even I am in my office working still I can gamble.

Correct there are gamblers who will choose to play online to be safer in terms of medical condition, why bother to go offshore if there are available online, though it's more exciting and enjoyable watching live games and the crowd is really aiming to see their idols playing, but pandemic give us the situation where we all needed to adjust and understand, we are seeing openings and good recovery from the business side of gambling more games to open more bets to choose..

I believe most of the sports games is already back to normal because they are allowing now 100% capacity on every seat. Online games is just still popular because of its convenient feature which already love than betting in actual casino. I'm playing in land based casino before pandemic hits once a month but ever since pandemic limits me from moving outside, I 'm already too lazy to out side just to gamble while I can all this things in my house using my computer. Thanks to the live games that offers most of the games in the casino live.

Online games will remain popular but i don't think people would ever want to bet on them. I think gamblers also prefer physical games to bet on and enjoy the game too. We have seen a period of one to two years with very limited sport being played and almost no betting opportunities. It was a time of depression for those who had a habit of sports betting.
Thanks that 2022 bringing back those glory days when the sports and betting are in full flow.  :)

During the Corona Pandemic, almost everything around the world was closed. Especially people were told to avoid public gatherings. Extreme stagnation of action,players and spectators alike were desperate to stay at home. One of the things that can be done very well is online gambling and casino games. People used to spend most of their time in online because there was no work. After pandemic we see the income of online based casinos has increased to a great extent and it is increasing every year.

Regardless of which one is preferred, this returns to their respective perceptions because indeed different heads must have different thoughts.
Being in a casino is great but sometimes if you have other things to do then a really good option is to go online.
In this case we actually have more choices and of course that is something very good.

Although there are sports that are now being played with fans including football as what the OP has described. So I would say that we are going back to where we were before the pandemic. However, some of us might not be comfortable and wishes to stay at home. And that's where online gambling enter. So even if, let's say fans are going to the stadium to watch, maybe some of us are still watching in tv and doesn't want to risk. And instead of going to land based casino, still prefer to play online. That's what pandemic changes in our lives as a gambler.

although the latest variant of corona continues to appear, everything related to sporting events is normal...

we have seen that supporters are free to enter the stadium with their attributes without having to keep their distance and are required to wear masks again, this is proof that all the restrictions imposed by the government have been relaxed and we can relax without worrying anymore to support and bet on our favorite football team.

Looks like people are already getting used to it on which they are already trying to ignore despite of being a health threat but it cant really be that possible that we should really be that confident because we wont

know if upcoming or recent variants are not really that contagious or something that easily spreads just like into its origin where lots had died and totally affecting the economic state of every country.
Now that businesses and platforms are starting to open their doors then we are slowly or gradually going back to normal days where operations and experience is really getting back to those casual days.

Yes, corona did make a significant effect but we know that nothing do last forever and could really pass away.

It is because the majority of people had been vaccinated and had developed immunity to the severe effects of the corona virus and probably the government had decided to go forward even with the threat of the pandemic.


And the most benefited from those significant effects are the medical industries, online services, delivery services, and online gambling due to the fact that people are getting used to online transactions and home activities caused by the lockdowns in the previous months.

We are more aware of the use of digital money during the Corona period. When the fiat currencies were confirmed to contain viruses, everyone started avoiding that currencies and used payment apps to pay using banking services in various markets. When this facility was available in online casinos, there was no need for anyone to go out side. The facility to deposit and withdraw in Casino through a bank account has further enriched this reputation. Now people enjoy playing casino at home instead of going anywhere.

Why are we support you is that during that coronavirus many people we are indoor and the internet became their friends both father mother children uncle and relatives so only only way to communicate to each other is through internet so many people use that opportunity true value digital currency and also making enquiries about digital research or digital currency research. So I will say that that is why are some people discover all this casino gambling website and games

I guess that we will have to live with it forever since variants are transforming into a new one and it's unlikely that it will get annihilated.

With the new disease that revolves again that scares everyone about this monkeypox. There should be a campaign drive about informing everyone on how someone will get affected by it.

For sporting events like football matches, even if the governments are telling that everyone is free to wear a mask or not, you as an individual should think on how important it is to wear one for your own protection.

The pandemic has been a catalyst for the growth of online gambling and betting but not for the football industry,
the majority of clubs experienced a financial crisis.
Despite the uncertainty in recent years, football and clubs proved to be able to survive.
"If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger"

And now we have come out of the pandemic but we have to be able to adapt to the new normal.
Stay healthy and stay stronger. Happy betting

We are now seeing that the market is again facilitating the way it was before the pandemic, good to know that we are now moving forward and the memory of the pandemic is slowly being overcome, we can see live games now and fans are enjoying watching those games that they really missed, time for teams to generate a good amount of profits since they've really lost a lot of money during the hot days of the pandemic, they will do everything now to get more from the people who missed watching games.

we will always surpass any struggle in this life. that's how humanity evolve over time. but with this pandemic period, i do agree that online betting or gambling got their boost. some traditional gamblers find their way in in those casinos. just to give one example of an influencer that may have contributed in the increase of gamblers- drake, we all know that he is in the music industry. but look at his million followers, once he posted about his stake collab, for sure, some of his followers got curious and check this site. how likely that some of them are now loyal patrons of the site? this is just an example.

Do not believe, where I live there is a considerable peak of people with covid-19, even more so it is a disease that has not yet been eradicated as it should be, I have already lost the number of vaccines that have been released to combat the pandemic, which for They were of no use to me because they have not achieved herd immunity, however I would say that the circumstances have changed, there is already talk of other diseases, there is talk of the disease caused by the monkey that according to the WHO has declared it a global emergency, then we would have a possible fundamental that can affect all kinds of activities, and in some way affects this and all speculative markets.

If it is true, of all the cases that there were of unemployed people, when they searched the web for a way to make money, casinos appear as an option, despite the fact that the warning is very strong, and that it always focuses on not recommends doing it or taking it as a job, however many people seeing that with a touch of luck they can resolve a month of child support, some did not hesitate, some would win and others lose, but that small percentage that won, who took the risk, I'm sure they're still playing on the platforms.

The pandemic will end soon, sooner or later, giving the world a chance to start a new life.
This will also happen in many sectors, including sports and there may be new rules that regulators will implement once the pandemic is over.
But for online sports betting, it looks like it will also experience a change from before and even though the changes are not too significant now, maybe it will happen in a few years.
And yes, during a pandemic that is still happening, sports betting has again found its way to attract the interest of its followers and can even invite more people to bet on sports.

only Live casino is being affected , while the crypto gambling increase really high , because Gamblers has no where to go but in this platforms .

Now that we are back to action ? I can assure that casino houses losses many of their regular players , maybe they truly divert in Online gambling in which accessible and not needed too much capital to play with.

People in South America do have a lot of things to take care of, and comparing the ways of taking care of themselves in the middle of the world, people take care of themselves a lot, there are people who do not use the mask much, and ignore all the things that doctors order and WHO, in the casinos there are many people and it fills up as if nothing is happening. Most people have been vaccinated and this gives them a lot of immunity, but it is not to be trusted, the vaccine only helps but does not have a total protective effect.

Indeed, that's what I was about to say. The boredom of not having much to do, and so many hours in front of the TV watching betting commercials is the perfect breeding ground to increase the volume of non-sport betting activity and the number of new users (not to say the hell that it has surely supposed for people with gambling addiction).

With female teams being more and more interesting for fans, and the new people who didn't bet before the lockdown but have started doing it, the next league may truly be the start of a new era for betting.

It depends on the interest that would be showed upon but we know that this is something that we cant really able to determine if we do talk about increase in numbers or what because there are different

factors which could really affect out when it comes to recognition and demand.Year by year where innovation becomes even more better and when it comes to accessibility then we do know

that it do becomes even more easy.In the time when pandemic hits then this is where adjustments been made and since we are on that having easy access then there's no problem much in regarding to that.

Yes, you are right, and I am one of those set of persons who loves playing casino with my smartphone from home, because from the area where I come from, we don't have physical casinos, but sportbooking centers are the most common that could be found in almost all the streets in my locality, betting on live or future matches such as Man-city vs Liverpool e.t.c and those places are always crowded by the youths, as football is one game that brings peace and people together in harmony

Indeed, by giving enough time for the entire economy to move forward it will be overcome, and we as people will live as normal as covid is now on our cycle, we will adjust and find the best way not to be infected but we will work as we needed to continue life with or without covid, it applies as well with sports and gambling industry, adjustments will be done and will some new rule will be implemented to make sure that it will lessen or avoid any harm with the sports and the business.

We just have to apply caution in all areas of endeavor many lives have been lost businesses shuting down many things happening were we thought live is over and today we have another chance to correct our over zealous activities by simply working on the protocol and applying all technical measure in all areas of our life both in sport, industries any other governmental organizations. Most of the country are yet to be recovered to their normal life and way of living.

Our government still keeps reminding us to wear facemask but since we are level one in COVID alert people prefers to not wear their facemask their alibi is they already got their vaccines and they are immune to it, but unfortunately there is no such thing as immunity we can still get it but our immune system can combat it if we have completed our vaccines, I still wear my facemask wherever I go there are times that I'm the only one who's wearing a facemask in one public place, I prefer to keep it and be different, the sports industry maybe back and people can freely watch but they should keep reminding people to wear a mask.
The sports organizations should first be the ones to remind people to wear their masks.

After around 2 years of this pandemic, I already learn how to make fun even inside in my home without my friends, that's playing online casino until now. Even we're already freely to go outside, but still wearing a mask, I feel it's already different before the pandemic happen. I can make some fun outside of my home, but I already enjoyed what I do inside my home and I think would keep continue to gamble on online casinos until something big change in the future.

Football is a World Sport and there is universalism in football.
The feel of the rivalry between the clubs, a sense of community, collective identity, spontaneous shouting when a goal occurs,
and the representation of the supporter in the stadium also evoke the emotions of the audience,
providing tension that makes this game even more enjoyable.
But watching and enjoying football matches and betting on football games are two different things

Yes that is right some areas, mainly sports and prediction markets on live events in general got hit hard, however the general market did grow at a great pace because people were at home without that much to do and would rather have a good time betting than watching yet another Netflix series :).  Now all that people may have liked the betting and are part of the ecosystem.

This in unfortunately one big side-effect of lockdowns etc., people became more and more anti-social. It is especially bad for teenagers, who need contact with other people to learn and profit from interpersonal relations.
We all see that a lot has changed - just look how many food delivery companies has started - it is really a huge market now.
I wonder what will be the impact of global inflation on casinos, but I assume that running business online is cheaper than IRL, so they may have lower margin.

Antisocial behaviors were already on the rise but the pandemic increased this tendency, and this is worrying especially for those that are younger, after all there are a great deal of kids in which all their memories include the pandemic, and unless something is done about it they will believe that is how the world has always been, and once they enter on their next stages of development they will show even more antisocial behaviors than what we are seeing with the young people of today.

As time goes by, they will also change their social skills and adopt what surrounds them.
We can't tell or dictate them what to do, they will find their way on how to interact with people.
Later on with their lives, they will learn and understand more about what normal life is.
We can't teach this kind of life's skills, they will learn these while they live their lives on this Earth.

No more queue in the betting line. That's also one of the changes. You can just literally enter the dome and get ready to watch the game, use your smartphone if you want to put your bets because online betting now is exploding in numbers.
You just have to find the right bookie where you could trust your funds and have a reputation to give whatever the amount you will win exactly.
Safer too. You won't be handling cash as you walk out.

Well that adds to the convenience of things. Everything seemed to be orderly after the pandemic hit the world because almost everyone is observant of the health protocols and do not want to catch the virus. There are a few people that are oblivious from the fact that this virus exist, although they are very few and far between.

Online sportsbetting opened a new doorway for a lot of people to experience betting on their favorite teams. It is really one of the best things that's happened in the gambling industry IMO, and only proved its importance when the pandemic hit.

It was crazy to see stadiums with 50,000+ thousand seats completely empty during Covid and that would have had a massive impact on the revenues for the club's - I doubt the poor footballers were taking a pay cut during that time though. Everything does seem to be back to normal now for most countries which is nice, and there does seem to still be a push for keeping space between people and staff in some circumstances still wearing masks. The only exception is zero Covid China which still seems quite backwards, luckily they contribute little in terms of international sporting events.

In some places there are still queue with long line in betting house, not everyone have move to online betting which is more convenient but due to illiteracy and poverty most local gamblers don't comply with the social distances precautions measures against covid-19. But then again those that have taken advantage of online gambling most especially cryptocurrency platforms have minimized their physical contact with others.

With the existence of online gambling platforms people standing on the queue to spend on gambling have reduced drastically. Right now the gambling sites are easy accessible, even the uneducated can make use of it. Possibly in locations where there is no better internet access, people might be in queue on the betting houses.

well it is so far to talk about what had happened in the past as the covid 19 is almost gone from the system , though there are still some cases yet this topic stands for the present and not to talk about the past anymore and how did affect the gambling industry now.

The new era that OP is trying to explain is just what happened early this year but in totality now? market us already standing good and the gamblers had already find their way to go back to what they are doing before the pandemic ruined the system.

I haven't been inside a tipping saloon for atleast 5 years. It's so much more comfortable to place sport bets online and not have to worry about going somewhere for it, making sure not to lose your receipt and worrying about picking up the winnings. Somehow the betting places in my country have become more sketchy over the years. What surprises me the most is that all these places haven't closed down during the pandemic. In my hometown I still see plenty of people outside of the places. During the lockdowns they must have been closed too. It must be a matter of time when the online gambling industry will take over the whole market. They save money on rent, upkeep and employee salaries. That's why their quotes should always be better for us than in the places downtown.

In many cases that seems to be what happened, but there are some football clubs that have increased their revenue incredibly. It is the case of the Manchester City, for example, whose income from TV rights went up 55% between 2020 and 2021 (and partnerships increased by 8% also). One could think that the biggest income for a big club comes from the ticket sale, but its relative weight decreases year by year, especially for the most famous teams which have supporters all around the globe.

Yes, and even those offshore gaming house do offer online transactions, they adjusted due to the demand of many gamblers who don't want to fall in the line and wait till the cashier accepted their bets, nowadays online gaming is really exploding, you can bet in the comfort of your house or whatever place you wants long as internet is accessible there's no problem to place your pick and wait for the result.

Yes, that's correct. Maybe there is no queue in one location but we won't know if there is also no queue in another because we are not there. Local gamblers are very happy to see the casino they used to go to has reopened because they can visit it and play there again and we can only hope that they will continue to follow the social distancing measures against Covid-19. People who continue to take advantage of online gambling will not go to these casinos because some already feel comfortable playing online gambling compared to offline gambling.

Unless if you are from those gambling capital country/city then physical gambling places are still going to be opened since this is where governments gets most of their revenues but if not then indeed it's really surprising. Maybe they are illegal? Some concerned citizens should report it to the authorities as that can worsen the situation of the pandemic.

I don't think online gambling will take over physical gambling. It's because not all have the ability to play online especially if they are more mature. In online, there no need to rent but you still need to pay to keep the site online. Also you might still be needing employees to handle the customer support function and others like marketing.

Due to the pandemic the world force to lockdown and had a negative impact on everything but online gambling has continued its positive trend. During the long period of lockdown, many have lost lot of money by getting addicted to gambling and many have gained. It can be said that since the year of 2020 is new form or trend that arrived  in gambling where people have left the land base casino or gambling activities and now they are heavily leaning towards online gambling.

The last season the were no problems with corona circumstances. But this season will be awful. Due to the World Championship the local championships starts earlier - i watched this weekend about 4 matches - the players not ready and the weather is really hot - it will be the problem too. And during the WC the top teams will send their players to play, the same time weak teams will rest.

Players arent ready? I dont think so but it wont be surprising that they would really be degradation in terms of overall performance since it did really took a long break before things becomes normal.

Now that pandemic is becoming even more going back to normal then those things that we've been dealing before is gradually coming back.Adjustments would be made later on which is a casual thing.

Due to pandemic online betting or dealing becomes relevant but now we are going back to normal then its really good to see on having this back.

Things have changed after the coronavirus lock down as many gamblers now find online platform favorable, I like the fact that it allows us to maintain social distance and also help us to minimize our gambling activities. Am sure most of the physical casinos are already moving online to meet up with current demands.

To all those who think online betting will never overshadow the physical ones, worry no more! Things are changing and the trend is showing that all the betting sites now have their own online platforms. So, it is not anymore a question of IF but WHEN. This is just the beginning of online gambling and we will be likely seeing casino platforms who will take over the traditional casino houses. After all, online betting platforms are a lot cheaper to maintain than a physical casino. Not to mention, they have the advantage of not being limited to a specific location. You can bet online from any place that you want.

Real money online gambling is definitely a viable option in today's internet-based world and I think the online casino industry will continue to grow at a steady pace. And with new innovations being made as we speak, I think this boom will continue for years to come, even if we have a few bumps along the way. It is inevitable.

They arent ready. Every season starts with bad football, but this season it is awful. And this is not due to pandemic. The last season was ok - bad start, some pandemic circumstances(not a lot), fans on the matches. But this season starts a month earlier - not enough time to train, new players don`t ready to understand their new partners, the weather is hot. And these problems just at the start of the season. Some of them will be solved by time, but it makes difficulties both for players and gamblers.

Changes after the coronavirus are very pronounced at this time and make us unable to be in public areas freely and this makes online businesses see the opportunity. They are online gambling business owners trying to take advantage of the situation and conditions that occur so that they offer solutions to people to be still able to gamble even though they are at home. Well, many physical casinos may have started trying to expand their business through the internet because they don't want to lose the momentum to make profits again.

well this happens in the month before but these days? all casino houses are open and can accommodate 100% again and yes  changes takes place as I myself are not enjoying Online betting than what I use to do back in 2019 , nowadays i play only in casino online site though visiting some real casino at least once a month or every 2 months.

Many changes after corona virus and I'm not sure if you say public areas are still limited access, we are almost back to normal mode after post corona virus but don't know if your country is free from corona virus. Even though physical casinos are not yet fully open to the public, people are very happy to be back betting on physical casinos after we are almost 2 years fighting the corona virus.

the point now is that with people vaccinated and the reduction in the number of cases of covid and governments withdrew the harsh measures they had put in place to prevent a greater number of deaths, made offline casinos start to work with the same number of people that they had before the pandemic, that means online casinos will again lose customers to physical casinos. this is inevitable because people want fun, they want to be around other people to talk, and in physical casinos they will be able to do that. even though many people used online casinos when the pandemic was more aggressive these people will not leave the physical casino to stay at the online casino


in my country, for example, everything is open, the number of covid cases dropped to less than 100 cases a day, so casinos, bars are all open as before covid


In fact, in physical casinos people can interact with other people, they have the opportunity to meet more people

Technology has made all kinds of difficult tasks so easy. Now people can control anything from one place. In this regard, the Internet is playing the most important role. People used to flock to casinos earlier but that trend has changed now. Today's gamblers are successfully performing all their activities without going anywhere. They can easily hide themselves. They are enjoying their pleasure at home with real money gambling facilities.

Even technology cannot always be a substitute for everything. For example, we have online betting opportunities but if there are no physical sports (like we had no sports in covid days), then we will not be able to bet on matches.

In covid days especially in the year 2020, gambling was not much affected but betting got a serious hit due to no matches to bet upon.

Actually the new football game will be come in a upcoming days.Because the market was normal now,most of the country and people suffer lot by economic crisis.After some pandemic and war circumstances,now the economic of most of the country back to normal.So it will reflect in the game of football and the gambling.It’s right time to hold for good win.

It will reflect fr sure as each country are trying to work as normal after the pandemic hits every economy, now that they've got lesser threat since the development of boosters and vaccinations, the government will try everything to cope up with the high losses since the day corona hits the economy, it will surely reflects to gambling industry especially for those who have live events now, both online and offline casinos will bring every possible offer to make money from target audiences.

Yes, and those are days in which sports betting people turned towards casino games. By the time more number of cryptocurrency accepted casino sites came into existence. Sites initially got into existence with dice and further added different other games and now those sites have got casino games as well as sports betting access. So, the platforms made use of the opportunity and improved their service in the right way.

You are right about the trend, Corona has reconfigured the social relations and the way people do things and now there is a return to the social component and the physical meeting of people vs the virtual enjoyment. However, that reconfiguration has been important in the sense that many of the ones who have tried betting on-line do now have a taste for it.

well that is not part of what he is talking , because what he meant is those areas that available the betting and not those live one , remember that we are in Online gambling and those are the main intentions here.
you are just talking about sports betting mate, but what about the online casinos that we have been running all those time that corona is in the process?

I still prefer to play gambling on online casino sites because I consider the convenience factor in my gambling. Playing at online casino sites, I can play in my yard or bedroom before I go to sleep. I am still very careful to leave the house because the pandemic is still ongoing and there are still victims from this pandemic. That's why playing online gambling from home is better because we don't need to go anywhere.

Maybe we are almost back to normal mode but who knows if there will be a spike after the coronavirus has attacked us for nearly 3 years, right? But yes, I agree that people are very happy to be back betting in physical casinos because they can get back to gambling with their friends or just hang out and talk. But we should still be careful and be able to take care of ourselves while we are in a public area because we don't know what will happen.

We realize that the corona virus is not over but there is some news stating that the corona virus is still around us, so we have to improve health protocols when we are outside the house, even though the government has relaxed the use of masks but the conditions do not automatically return to normal mode. But we hope we recover soon from the global covid disaster and we will gather at one table in the casino room.

A rare event. I would care about my health more than being on the line with a lot of people.
What I mostly see today are lotto players queuing to place their bets, I don't think they have an online betting just yet.
The same with horse race, they have places where they broadcast the race but that's where you put your bets with people around you, no online betting.
Perhaps it's time to change that because these games are also scheduled which means there will be a time for gamblers to make a bet before the game starts. As long as they offer broad options for payments, it can be done.

of course things are changing abd we follow up with the trends in development, even the old physical betting operators now diverted to online because there they can accommodate as many as possible users across the world instead of being limited to their own geographical zone alone.


don't ever underlook the traditional casino houses because they are now getting modified into a standard and modern casinos where you can find lots of bitches, drinks, gangs, music, barons and mafias there, they make varieties of deal right there, that's why some gamblers cannot do in a day without visiting these casino houses, just the varieties of fun there is breathe taking already.

We are now transitioning in the new normal. I think eventually, everyone will bounce back and go back to the pre-pandemic routines. It's just that sports has been widely affected by the pandemic crisis which made them go into some kind of hiatus in playing personally for security reasons. In this case, it could be said that the teams somehow weaken over the span of time that they had no practice. It can't be helped since it is for the safety of everyone.

However, right now, some matches has been approved and we are slowly seeing them on the field and in the screens. Hopefully, this will continue since covid-19 cases are slowly decreasing as time passes by. It's still better to have normal and actual matches after all.

Yes, we can't put everything aside and turn a blind eye, in the middle of the pandemic, there were many things, among them many people lost their jobs, many turned to online casinos and discovered ways to earn money very easily, some they won others they lost, but I think that after Corno, people are leading their lives normally with the strategies of being able to have prevention, however we have been able to see that some leagues suffered, such as the Italian, the Spanish, the circumstances after the pandemic they changed a lot, some took advantage, others went bankrupt, but I think everyone tries to cope with things for the better, and taking advantage of the benefits offered by some casinos.


Yes, in fact, many leagues were affected by the lack of money, even those that we saw that they would not fail in terms of money failed, as is the case with Barcelona, I think this team suffered a lot from it, some Italian teams also, but the best thing is that now they have been recovering, I don't know about the case of Barcelona, but with almost no money they have made great contracts and that has given them current problems, however, nothing that cannot be solved.

But in general terms, for me this has been very strong, the pandemic has been diminishing and despite the fact that there have been some peaks, it has been controlled.

Hopefully, the recovering stage will continue and people will accept the fact that it's a new way of normal life, covid is already here and we needed to take care of yourself in order to avoid being hit by this virus, the business side and the gambling sides are all working now and they are doing well in terms of trying to bring the game again for the fans and also for their financial stake.

Not sure also with how other teams are trying to recover but for sure they will find ways and will make a big use of this current situation.

Due to such a great loss of attention and matches, i bet this season will be spectacular. They need to gain money they lost;)

We are slowly and gradually going back into normal as we do observe since games are now not in prohibition or already been happening.On times of pandemic then we could really say that this is a tough

one but we did really make out adjustments which we do able to adapt even though it is really something hard but not really impossible and we do able to make it through.

Online betting and gambling did really turn out to be significant when pandemic hits but now that everything is going back to normal then casual betting and events are also too
but we cant just ignore the fact that people had already been get used to on what we had done recently.

The pandemic has changed the way we do things lately, with most people preferring to play in an online casino rather than going to a physical casino to avoid the crowd. The good thing about this is that it has led to more development in the gaming industry with the metaverse and NFTs development lot of content is now available online which has helped increase the content of online materials even the i-gaming industry has seen a massive growth also.

Certainly the fans are always even in the most adverse situations in normal conditions, that is, the team does not win a game.  :)

 I think there's a group of people who aren't really fans (with any sport), but like to go to certain games or sports, that's a major group that comes back.

 In that sense, I think that the World Cup Qatar is going to event that will make us return not only in the feeling but also in the confidence that everything has already started to be normal.

Not really because not all are into online but they can still prefer the old way of doing things. Real life gambling places might be closed but there are still a way for the people to play gambling. It can be done inside their house or someone's house.

There's dice, mahjong, cards and other available games but they only need to be careful from the authorities as this was still illegal since we are advised to do a social distancing but this is the reason why this is being done inside and not from the sight of the many. I think that metaverse and nft's are already in the line-up and has nothing to do with the pandemic or the growth of online gambling and as we see most of their features aren't focused in gambling.

Covid really sucked, Two words for Covid are Covid Sucked. Rwally impact of Covid was hot, after coivid I'm Bullish about everything inflation, Prediction. So you right After Covid its the fresh air for everything, Crypto, Stocks and Even Gambling. Favts really changed for the Gambling.

We are getting new edges over the pandemic effect and things were basically going to normal, aside the sports and gambling that record a huge losses, other sectors were also affected to the brim, but this year after things were expected to keep running as usual towards the progress and profitability of sports and gambling activities henceforth, indeed we are into another nee era after that of the pandemic season.

I hope so, but the war in Ukraine and the shocking wave of inflation are haunting the world economy,
there are fears that inflation will trigger a recession, and there are many countries that could potentially go bankrupt.
Let's hope that doesn't happen - but if it does, you better be prepared and have reviewed your entire risk portfolio
So don't jump to conclusions so quickly, stay calm. Let's check back in a few months.

Do you know the funny thing concerning gambling especially prediction of matches when matches is not going the way we are expecting or we expected it is the find many people who predict from soccer game winning numerous matches so no attention or no group or team in football that is fair to do well that is useless to gamblers because the more some group he is winning the more some people is benefiting from the bet and the more some people is losing it is the same thing some people is also making money so your prediction and another person prediction cannot be the same that is the rules and regulation of gambling because you don't know who played it anything you feel like

Yes . You are right, because the Covid period was actually a big blow to the gambling industry and the world at large, of which till now most people prefer online gambling compared to the physical casino gambling that was more preferable before the Covid19 pendemic, But despite all that, it can't stop gambling, because gambling has become a way of life for most people who derives joy from it as a way of spending quality time.

Also, covid 19  makes online gambling platforms more popular because in my country before covid online casinos or any site did not much paying attention to gamblers it because they preferred to gamble in casinos but when covid came across the world a big impact teach the gamblers to gamble in online casino/sites. Also even the bad impact of covid there's still we as a gambler we can gamble anywhere through online.

Yes, let's still look out for what this season holds for us, because you never can tell as the season is just starting and all clubs were given opportunities to buy players to cover up wherever they had suspected to be lacking. So hopefully, let's pray for the best for our various clubs @ Man City for me (because that's my club)

This is something that happened to many businesses and not only to the gambling industry, since people had to go through the lockdowns they needed a way to get what they wanted while at the same time remain at their homes, so a lot of businesses online went through a boom, however the businesses that saw the biggest growth were the ones that allowed you to somehow forget about what was happening, so the gambling and the video game industry saw a huge increase since people were desperate to get any entertainment while they were at their homes.

Indeed! We can't deny the fact that there are some businesses which really found their boost during this pandemic crisis.
Online gambling industry is one of them, and so the increase of online gambling users.
If we noticed and observed, in this forum alone, there are several known casinos today that were introduced during the height of covid pandemic.
I also think some of these traditional casino goers found a way in in these online crypto casinos.

I also believe that online gambling sites are among the leaders of growth during the pandemic, especially since many countries paid people money during forced downtime, but I would like to see the real statistics of online casinos during this time.

There are people / gamblers that will continue to enjoy using the current settings aside from those who really wanted to watch live events and not afraid of having a chance of being infected by the virus, but in the same settings they will enjoy what they've been paid for, it's a matter of choices and depends from how people will project the types of games that they wanted to see and if they are really longing to watch and visit the arena for live games to enjoy.

Both the old and the new settings will help in the process of recovering. The economy is now getting back, that includes the gambling industry.

Well, actually all this is something strong for many, it is difficult to overcome when many families all their members died and left children totally alone and adrift, for some this pandemic did not touch them and I am happy for them, but those who touched and what loved ones also took all my consideration and strength, I think that part also influences that many people are currently much more lonely and see in online casinos that entertainment that many times they can no longer take in real life because they don't want to, they don't want it and because they are in mourning, this is something that casinos can offer as an option for those people who don't want to go out into a harsh world yet, where they can be singled out and possibly fear it.

I think the fans will be disappointed if their favorite team doesn't win the game but they have to know that it's a risk they have to face because their favorite team could meet a stronger team.

People who like a particular sport or game will surely know what they should choose based on the strengths of that team so they will choose it.

The Qatar World Cup will probably be a big show at the end of this year because with the current situation, audience can watch live in every stadium to watch their teams compete. It will be a very interesting show considering that we haven't seen a live match at the stadium in almost 3 years.

The virus remains, I am in Ecuador and there are cases of people who are still in hospitals and it continues to affect them, the cold in Ecuador makes this virus stick even more to kill people, it is strange that this is not let the people in the world know, the covid-19 continues to take people, and there are many affected, but despite all that, the world is no longer paralyzed, and it may be good, oepro still continues to talk about this virus.

This is surprising to know that corona virus is still killing. Are the people in Ecuador still in lock down? I suggest corona has gone and the virant which was discovered had already gone, I think it was called omicron. Any other thing now could be high level malaria or what politicians are using to get money from the international bodies. Anyways, I can be said that men has learnt how to live with the deadly disease. We should not be threatened with it or by it anymore.

I'm also surprise that there are still places in the world who continue to suffer with this virus I was in the impression that government already funded mass vaccinations to prevent the spread though there are still active cases from where am I but he people here are already in used to it and are now moving forward knowing that the virus will continue to exist but with lesser chances of killing people.

It will be your own care with your body, continuing the practices that will keep you safe from the virus should be attended and it should be a must each time you go out from your house.

And moving back to this topic, the majority are already open and live events are no longer prohibited. The industry is now recovering
and it will continue no matter what happens.

There are many ways of betting and to some people it is all about supporting their team or their region or city, despite the odds, so the bet does more of a psychological effect than of a real best effort to win the bet or make money. That way also creates a massive liftup effect if they win because there a double punch - win and money for their team.

If their favorite team wins, there will be a big celebration in their city. I remember this happening in some cities where the favorite team wins often and this city celebrates the team's victory. That made a lot of people in the city end up placing bets for his team. I think betting can be a form of support to his team so that his team knows that the townspeople are behind them. This also motivates the team to give a good performance and win the game.

In the country I live in now, mass vaccination is still being carried out and the government still continues to recommend using masks when leaving the house even though the Lockdown ban is now over, but here there is still little to be done to minimize this virus.
Now about some countries that have been liberated this is a good thing especially when it comes to the re-opening of some casinos but maybe in this case there is a new competitor because there are definitely some people who are already comfortable with online casinos.

Seems like everything is turning back to normal because here on our country it is already not strict anymore when it comes to imposing health protocols where people can freely not wear their mask but

there are some who are still that mindful in towards their health which it did really make them a bit paranoid because of that pandemic situation where they do end up on having that wearing of mask most of the time which i couldnt blame them off. Until we wont really be hearing up a global notice or announcement about this pandemic is over then we shouldnt really be that confident on making
ourselves not to be protected even though it is gradually turning out to normal days but we cant really be that confident.

The impact of covid -19 is still not gone from the whole world but it is largely under control ‍and in this corona period, online casinos have gained great popularity. If you look at the statistics, it will be seen that the number of new casinos and their users has increased rapidly after the corona period.

Because of the covid there's a lot of establishment not working right now because of the spread out but recently like the gambling casinos instead with this they make another way and one of this is become the gambling casino online and more convenient to the people who want to play gambling at the same time is still in their houses the people now can adopt with th is virus and getting back to normal and soon gambling casino and online gambling can resume to their work again slowly but still it is good thing.

I know that even if the impact of covid - 19 is still not gone from the world or from part of the world, but the whole world is not going on lockdown anymore. The world have moved on and that is how it will continue, unless a new virus comes on.
Online casino got popularity after covid 19 when traditional casinos where locked down. Covid-19 actually did more good than harm to online gambling.

if the covid19 did not come to place i think crypto gambling is still struggling to earn  popularity and not this big , because remember that the traditional casino is in blooming time back in 2020 and keep going high as I am also starting to become more addicted in gambling in casinos those days.
but when corona comes? then I have no choice but to completely gamble using my crypto funds and yes, this is what i love to  do till now.

I still remember the way the price of Bitcoin fell below the 4K support when the first lockdowns were announced worldwide, and time has proved that this painful pandemics has ended up having a positive impact not only for online gambling but for the crypto ecosystem in general.   

I think this one contribute to the growth but this most likely not disturbing to the growth rate does the casino got since there are so many ways to market their business and some of them got wide reach up especially when they are entering to promote their website on big sporting event in the world. But we can't also deny that the pandemic creates huge demand since for sure many people finds some outlets to kill their time and ease their boredom.

Yeah, covid-19 make the economy sector were very bad, but when it's already become new normal, the economy sector went up and Bitcoin is able to reach new ATH. Another effect it's increase many players to play on online gambling since they're only allowed to have activity inside on their home. I think those online casinos which using that moment already become successful right now, just like how many casinos still run the signature campaign.

It is like we have witnessed the typical price correction, but inverse. I mean, we are used to see extreme leg-downs when the FOMO on Bitcoin ends, but this time it was like they were extremely oversold, so the price striked up like a 1500% to reach a new ATH. A new typical correction has led to the current price, but I expect the next wave to be very positive in terms of price, as the potential user base has grown a lot due to the lockdowns.

Yes you are right that the covid-19 is one of the big reason for gaining popularity of online casino. Moreover, people are gradually becoming dependent on cryptocurrencies and technology, which is also a reason for their popularity . And if you see that online casinos offer more facilities than offline casinos, here you don't have to bother and attend the casino, you can easily enjoy the casino at home.

I wouldn't be much surprised because the covid-19 isn't completely gone. It is still hunting for people in some parts of my country.
But yeah the affect of it is not much these days. It's more or same like a flu. No deaths are occurring due to covid-19 since all people in my country are now vaccinated.
I think vaccination has really helped everyone in standing firm against this virus or we can say it has given us our routine life back.

Yes also in my country  even though not all people here in my country did not take the vaccine because of some reason. but still as a vaccinated person it feels that  a regular flu did not hurt me to much a ordinary fever takes atmost 2-3 days so it's a big help for me to take the vaccine and also it's an advantage for me in terms of travel or entering the malls and in casino because of my vaccination card and now I can gamble in casino.

Some countries are in the process of recovering from the decline in death cases due to COVID-19, but the majority of people have not carried out normal activities so they are waiting for the government's announcement about fully recovering and being free from the effects of Covid-19 before opening public activities including gambling places. Maybe until the end of this year many countries will be free of COVID-19 because the government is aggressively campaigning for vaccines for everyone so that all Covid-19 statuses can be revoked and free from all bad effects.

Yeah the pandemic era with limited or no fans definitely had an effect on the sport and made it difficult to bet, not just (soccer) but all other sports too.  Having home and road games with fans present versus no on ethere has a huge effect on the outcome.  Glad that whole period is over with and we are almost back to normal at this point.

there is a possibility that this is a new variant or the effect of cold weather so that many people are susceptible to the flu, so it is easy to affect the minds of many people if the corona virus is still feared.

if most countries have not been able to fight it then there will be no progress regarding the sports industry, prevention is always done but there is no movement to be able to revive its economic growth especially normalizing football spectators on the podium and other types of sports

Yes, many countries have started going through this pandemic and currently conditions are much better. However, behind that side, people's habits during the pandemic are still often carried away. One of them is online activities that are growing. Apart from most people, online gambling has become one of their favorite activities during the pandemic. And it turns out that this continues to this day. In fact, we can find various online gambling advertisements easily anywhere. That's why online gambling is still going on and there are more and more users.

On most countries yes the virus is now weak and people are not required to wear face masks anymore however on some places like on Ecuador, the climate there is cold, that is why the virus is hard to kill. They say that there is also omicron and latest one which is monkey pox but I think the two are not as lethal as the first one because there are no lockdowns yet that is declared. When it comes to betting, indeed that betting places are now open and active again.

Let us hope that this will continue because the economy of those countries which mainly depends on gambling have been heavily affected as well as the offline bettors.

There is a new era after covid-19 since most businesses have transformed from what there used to be to a more virtual world, my boss from the office asked most of the staffs to work from home after the lockdown and things have continued that way even after the lockdown period and vaccine policy that lifted the social distancing order. Even the gambling industry has also transformed in that direction too with most platforms having their casino transferred online with so many new options and development that will attract potential clients.

Things have changed, even if the more strict measures against the virus have been lifted and we do not have to go through them anymore and be so wary of the virus, things are never going to go back to the way they were, people are now more guarded against diseases and even now many people still decide to protect themselves in public, so it is likely this trend towards online gambling will do nothing but to intensify during the next years, to the point any psychical casino without an online presence will begin to find problems to remain in business.

There are many existing online casinos and they don't have to do any transition but, I haven't really seen a physically established casino to transition that quickly into an online one.
It's a business that focuses on physical attributes and services that it can offer so, I haven't seen those that did it. Maybe I've just missed those that made their business and operations from physical to online so fast in adoption that they did it easily.

I have made some research and covid-19 is still disturbing some countries with very low temperature. But it is not killing as it was being reported then, men has learnt how to leave with it. Is till want to point out that it was fear that contributed to the massive death of patients then. There is nothing fear and panic will not cause. It was a bad experience that I wish not to have anymore. It was then I knew that life is precious.
I even doubt that people were gambling online because the direction of the world itself was uncertain.

It is such a sad thing to hear that Covid19 virus still kills till date. But sometimes, it is not the virus alone of that kills most of these people, but the trauma and feeling of been left alone in an isolated area by your family and loved ones that kills more rapidly.  Because the out break of Corona virus was one virus that can never be forgotten in these world. I witnessed it and I know how it feels, and i'm just wondering how the people living in Ecuador will be feeling right now.. So sad

Regarding to that kind of transition, I've heard some offshore casinos who managed to transform to online services, while pandemic is hitting the place instead of completely closing the business they managed to create platforms online and drive their patrons to the site, either they use digital process or bank transactions to allow gamblers to play in the comfort of their home.

Though moving to the main topic, live events are now generating decent profits so probably the government will allow those games to facilitate even there's still threat for virus to spread but safety protocols will going to be monitored and will be strictly implemented.

Yeah you are right I also have not seen any physical casino that move online during the covid 19 outbreak but there is speculation and news of transformation which have triggered the virtual world which is a contemporary way of life existing in the virtual reality, and what made it hard to notice physical casinos that have move online to be noticed is because most of the physical casinos already have an online version before covid 19 outbreak the only thing that was done is to move all their payment online to avoid physical contact in betting shops and casino houses.
