Question about Blockchain/Smart Contract/Decentralized Casino

[Yatsan]

I think because there is more player in the browser. And playstore and appstore don't permit gambling apps in their platform because that will be against their rule. And when they launch an app that will be hosted on their site, there will be no source of income or rather ad income there. So the best option they have is to launch a website for their platform, because simply the Application will not be that profitable.

But what's in it for them?

Maybe not casino per se.
With their (running games of chance) experience, they could create "simulated gambling" games to earn from ads and virtual currency purchases (like mana or gold). Imagine mobile apps that enable users to play dice with virtual (worthless) tokens for fun, playing poker with friends, messaging, commenting, contests and leaderboards, etc.

I think Match365 is a beautiful example of this use case in a soccer betting environment.

I do not think gamblers really care about all those additional things like ads, virtual currency purchase or mana or whatever. Gamers maybe,,, and if you can find a way to combine gaming and gambling, ok I would give it a shot. But take a real look at actual serious gamblers and they want the gambling experience not to be too distracting. Which sounds like what most sites become with chat and extra interactive stuff.

Then just don't put it right there, simply let people to download through the official site. The most make sense reasons is that most people in this blockchain space have their own PC or Laptop and they are active on it more than on smartphone. Hence, it's more convenient to play on the site instead of on their smartphone.

yeah . that should solve thier problem but even me i notice that official sites dont put download links now but what they do is that they only put a google play link or an appstore link  . they want us to download on the store  .  also , i see many card games simillar to poker  that are listed on the appstore and on the google playstore .  i think they are also simillar to gambling but why they dont allow gambling apps ?  uploading gambling apps on other file/app hosting sites is also a good option  .

Hi everyone:

Good day. Need some guidance on my study now. I am currently studying blockchain/smart contract/decentralized casino, just wondering why that is no android/IOS app available on listed TOP 20 casino in DAPPRADAR. Is that anything related to technical limitation or any other specific reason. Appreciate if anyone can explain it to me. Thank you.

Because simply those casinos didnt tend to make their own on making some apps which can be convenient for most mobile users.

This isnt really related to technical limitation or any other reason because the team itself will decide if they do consider out that basic norm
on having an app or not but i shall say that it isnt really that necessary to have one.

The reason that such gambling platforms don't invest in mobile apps is that Play Store has very strict policies regarding such apps.

FYI, gambling apps published through Google Play Store are available in UK, Ireland, and France only. The company has to fill out a detailed contract complete with a gambling license and whatnot.

WWW has seen a shift from desktop to increase in mobile users, but as far as crypto users are concerned most still use pc's and that are still willing to gamble on their mobiles can just use the website.

Exactly, playstore is crowded by Domino QiuQiu and so far it's okay. I don't know much about playstore / appstore policies anyway but we can assume that there is no problem in building mobile app for most gambling site.

This may help a bit

Actually, I expected something like that

If someone loses a ton of money, he could potentially sue Google for letting him download such an app. It is unlikely that he will get anywhere in the court (though who knows), but it is certainly going to damage the image and public perception that Google wants to present and translate into the world. In simple words, it is easier and probably safer for them to distance themselves from online gambling platforms and not to get entangled in possible controversies
