Online Gambling vs Real Gambling

[Natalim]

Real gambling is more fun and also less more addictive because with online gambling its just so easy to spend money because its digital.

You maybe true but that's base on how we were able to manage ourselves in gambling. We cannot expect that people have the same likes and interest in gambling because some prefer it online so they can stop anytime they want. It's a different scenario when in real gambling as the emotion is very intense and you might see trouble with your opponent.

thats the problem when dealing inside real casino the emotion will eat you have trying keep you playing even you already have enough and keep you excite yourself seeing that you are in a winning streak unlike if you are playing online you can always stop and quit then enjoy your earnings without thinking of anything regarding to the place that you are playing with.

And with online casino you are a lot safer as you are not vulnerable to the eyes of the robber, even if you win a good amount of money online you can still be confident that no one will think of robbing you since you are protecting your identity due to the anonymous gambling. That's the big different also and that's one of the reason why bitcoin gambling is very popular now.

there are also some casinos where there is more criminals than players and that happens especially in third world countries so these places are considered as bad places but when the people of those places go to online casino they find these online casino much interesting and find these casino as a place of entertainment.

In terms of that there is no difference at all because some criminals would also gamble online and also innovates their ways on how can they get amounts from other gamblers (eg. scamming)

So its mean online gambling is better to play than real gambling. But in my eyes, online gambling is best forever. Usually i play online gambling and always use bitcoin, because use the bitcoin instead of fiat, online gambling is more easy.
But real gambling is necessary for real experienced gamblers and also it is difficult to handle it. I don't think that everyone can play real gambling, So in the start of gambling career better to play online gambling.

I want to add that another reason some people may prefer online casinos over live casinos is because in some countries casinos are not like the one you see in Las Vegas, instead casinos can be very shady places with prostitutes and drugs so some people may not like to go to a place like that.

It's actually a valid point.

I never thought of this situation in this context, maybe because I only see fully legalized and "nice" casinos in my city so there is not possible for gamblers to feel threatened or insecure while playing.

But if you haven't access to serious casino then online gambling is here to help.

I personally believe that taking drugs or doing anything such is totally in our control and no one can stop us from doing that, what stops us from taking drugs at home while gambling online ? Nothing so that's not a good argument though I understand that real life casinos effect life much more than online ones.

You did not even read the post, the user maku was responding to a point I made about why some people may not like to go to live casinos, and he was agreeing and expressing his opinion, there is nothing about consuming drugs in his post.

I think that both casinos can offer nice experience,at least from my perspective,maybe if you go to a casino which is really under the radar,there might be some things there which can concern you but I don't think most casinos are like that,in fact they can offer you something to eat to give you a nice experience so you stay there betting,that's why you have to control yourself.

I have never been to a real casino but mostly why governments ban pnline casino is because they cannot collect tax from them where as in case of real casino they can collect tax.

There are hundreds of online casino and government do not know that which one is from their country and do not know that from where the players are so they cannot find and sentence anyone and if they block the sites in their country then users can use VPN for accessing to these online casino to play games of their desire so there is no any problem if government ban online casinos.

I guess it's almost the same comparing the two. In online gambling, you are just not physically there. The possibilities of risk are less compared when you're in a casino. No people would be staring at you, but there are also instances of hacking when you've exposed yourself with your money. I would prefer online still.

The being "not physically there"  and the actual being there is very different.  In some point yes. they are the same (gambling)  but the experience is way far different.  It is far more exciting and fun to see real slots, roulette and other machine game in action.  There is a very big difference between seeing and touching the real stuff.

Not only in Philippines but many other countries also banned online gambling, So if you want access these online gambling sites then only option is using VPN or proxy ip's.

In India also all kinds of gambling is banned but still people access these online gambling sites using proxies but most of the new sites you can access without any proxy.

Whatever you do, do not use VPN or proxies to access gambling site if they are illegal in your country.  The site could lock your account and freeze your funds.  It would be better to stay away from online gambling completely than risk losing your money.

why would a site lock any account if someone is accessing the site using an VPN what is wrong in that. If at all the gambling site freezes the account it is plain cheating as long you have not committed any fraud. Bitcoin gambling is the future and we do not need to verify anything in that. I am not sure about other sites.

It is not a problem there is some site that actually accepting vpn... i think almost gambling casino in bitcoin are accepting to use vpn.. like here in forum you can access with vpn or without vpn. I heard before there is a site that can freeze your account if you use vpn but there are many site which is accepting vpn or proxy..

Well for me, I have a lesson learned. I tried using a VPN and access a faucet well it really works and it is really fun being "anonymous" though there is one thing after that. When I removed the VPN and try to access again that site, I can access it yeah, but I can't get my free roll, I scrolled down and it says my IP is blocked. I don't know any reason to make my IPs blocked and it is really dissapointing, I can access other faucets except that one. It is really dissapointing.

If i am to talk about safety, i would actually choose to play in real world casino because i got to control the chips and the physical counter to exchange for cash and chips are always there. So it wont be a day that i have tons of chips and the next day i woke up to find that the casino is no longer there and i end up with useless chips. This is true for online casino whereby a lot of these casino can disappear overnight and you have lost everything.

yes the real world casino will never get dissapeared untraceable, they will always there no matter what as most real casino always registered under real name owner so you can track them in case they are run out or terminated.

while online casino always running anonymously, especially bitcoin gambling sites, you will always feel insecure.

The real casinos are not a scam, and we will get our winnings immediately without any issues. But in online gambling, some sites will cheat us and sometimes it will take too long to withdraw our winning. The real casino it is too expensive because we must play some coins over there and if we lose that money, the casinos will give some extra coins to play. This type of facilities is not there in online gambling.But still, The online gambling is good, because we can play whenever we want. And if we don't have money we have a chance to play free games.

They are doing it for business so they will not scam, the fact that they are earning a good profit regularly they will not sacrifice their reputation to lose their valued clients, if we can notice they are making promotions and that is to attract more clients and more investors if they have the investing program.

Online gambling is a form of gambling. I am not sure what you meant by real gambling. As far as I am concerned, real gambling is the act of risking your money on an odd that you are aware of and potentially making a profit.

If thats the definition of gambling, then online gambling is indeed real gambling.

[passwordnow]

Online gambling is nice but real gambling is way better because you can really enjoy yourself and the feeling if you win is just so much better than just behind your monitor..
I really think real life gambling is still better.

I like both of them, but it depends on my need. If I wanted to see some beautiful girls and gambling at the same time then I should go to the physical casino and take some real action of gambling. But if I'm tired from work and don't want to go outside but I wanted to relax and wants to have some fun with gambling, then I will just use online gambling. They are both good.

you are right. may I also will choose both, because gambling onine and offline was quite similar. but, in the real gambling, perhaps very many girls who will accompany you, but it does cost money, and online gambling is very good at doing when you are busy or at work. Well, even your boss will not know that you're playing online gambling in the office

I will choose both either because that is going to be in a different situation that you are facing. If you are bored enough already with online gambling because there is no live interaction with other players then you can just simply visit real gambling by going to the real casino's or you can call out your friends and start playing poker in your home.

maybe in your place, real casino is available so you can choose both but for me, real casino is not available so i will choose online gambling, beside that, i don't have to show my details when i want to make a bet.

Basically you do not need to come to a casino if you just want to gamble, real gambling is not always in casino. You can play cards game such as poker with your friends at your own home or somewhere else and you do not need to show any details because your friends knows about you very well lol.
Indeed it is not safe if your country has a law against gambling then you might be jailed if the police caught you play gambling with your friends.

I feel sorry for those folks that doesn't have physical casino in their places but the feeling to gamble with real gambling is totally different from the online gambling because of the crowd and the people who are you gambling with. Panjul is right, just like what others said you can just call out your friends and start your own poker game or any gambling game at your home.

I can't believe that there are still some places that doesn't have real casino's but you can build your own. You don't have to invest big money with it, you can just have a place in your garage and start your own casino there depending on the needs of the gamblers there. Because online and real gambling have their very own differences and advantages.

gambling in some countries is illegal so there is no gambling place (casinos,...) in those countries. also in other countries in many cities specially smaller cities there aren't that many people interested in gambling so even if you open up a casino it will fail miserably because of lack of customers and high cost of keeping in running.
so yeah there are many places without a casino, it is not hard to believe.

Because I'm thinking that almost all countries have their very own gambling industry and it is one of the biggest industry that is helping their economy to boost. So for those gamblers who doesn't their own casino, they don't have any other choice but to gamble online too sad that they can't experience real gambling.

Usually the country dont encourage their own citizen to go and play casino. So for my country, the local citizen need to pay an entrance fee of $100 in order to enter. Whereas any other foreigners will be able to enter for free.

What can you say about Las Vegas? They are known as the gambling city and I think they are even encouraging the citizens to have a business that is related for gambling for their city is being alive for its support to the gambling industry. And in your country, that real gambling entrance is kinda a ridiculous, surely they aren't encouraging their citizens to gamble but the foreigners.

Gambling is always taking act of risking your money why not to risk if theres an big chance to win big prizes? If you're really concerned of your money then why risking them if you can save it for your needs?

In real world casino, the government will be helping you to track down the casino owners so it is very difficult for them to just run away like that. In addition, you also can read the quarterly statement released by the company to see if they are making money or in debt. In this way, you can see that it will close down in the near future or not. However, for online casino, nothing is certain, even rep sites can disappear overnight.

I think what the OP is trying to mean is real gambling is refer to real world gambling, live casino, casino setup in physical land so that you can travel to the place to gamble. while online is referring to the digital gambling setup in a website.
