CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[Dalmar]

The consequences of social isolation show its effect on the gambling industry too, the physical casinos have stopped to allow the gamblers to continue the gambling activity. Online sports betting is in the recession mode due to the lack of interest after the last decisions by teams. Even the manger of the well-known football team shared his opinion about the possible outcomes during matches, the storm is near.

Instead of betting in sports gambling, why can't we just donate our spare money? By that we can help our fellow citizen to overcome and protect themselves from the virus. Let's stop online casinos for now and let us enjoy our time with our families.

I love the idea of donating your spare money and putting it into better use. I hope the majority of the high rollers in casinos are thinking about this and possibly piling up all the money they can allocate and give to the needy. For sure there are a lot of people who desperately need it and that's just a starting point. I think it doesn't matter where it comes from whether gambling or hard-earned money, it's where it will go that will count.

Instead of sports betting, just play sports using our gadgets, cellphones, PS4, computer, by that we can entertain ourselves and enjoy playing games while we are safe from the virus. Also you can play cards, with your family to strengthen more your relationship to each other.

This is what I currently do and I feel unproductive yet I'm still entertained. I think it's okay right now but what I loved most when staying at home right now is the cleaning part. It's kind of therapeutic. You could add it to the list you have given.

United State
Australia
Israel
and China

these four countries claim that they have found the Corona Vaccine , we do not know whether the news they convey is true and also we do not know what they mean by claiming this when panic is still very high.

The world really needs this so that all sporting events begin again, many big game matches are postponed because of the large spread of this virus. it's better to play online gambling for now...

[semobo]

Soccer matches are still happening with no spectators so players were forced to bet on few games than their favorites and I see some casino and sport book sites temporarily stopped their sport book tab due to the crisis so most of the sport bookies were forced to go towards casinos or they have to find other entertainment other than gambling.

[Oceat]

Even Esports events are also cancelled Dota 2 the largest and most popular MOBA game just announced that the upcoming major wont be happening. I guess for me, this would become a break for gambling games for the moment.
Hopefully the vaccines gets approved, also i've seen some news that japans medicinal tablet is effective in fighting the virus.

I guess these virus would only take a month max, so everything would be back to normal.

For the first time ever this is the most intriguing pandemic than what usually happens in the past. Most big or small events and establishments are cancelled/closing due to the NCOV that forces everyone to stay at home because it is dangerous to go outside. I guess we could just play gambling games in our own house together with the family. I hope this virus thing will only last a month because it's affecting everything of our daily lives.

   Oceat we can play many online games, gambling and all other games too. We can bet on sports, and nobody can say how long this will
last. Some championships are postponed for next year, even Olympic games are in question.
   I play dices and other simple gambling games, with 1 satoshi bet's, just for fun. Not often, when I have free time. Anyone can find
a nice gambling game for crypto-currencies, there are many of them. Now when people are closed they will be more interested in
online gambling.

I think if it still exists without an audience then it is like training because if there are spectators who see a soccer match then they will see the results of the training and team performance so that it will be seen who will be the winner, whereas if there is no audience it might be possible gambling done through an online website.

There are really alternatives for those people who do like play yet they can search and able to online.The thing here is that they differ on games that offered.
Most sportsbetting site now is shutdown or closed due to current pandemic and we know that not all gamblers on this field would really like to bet on
luck or casino type of games so its a matter of preference or interest to those people.Impact is indeed big not only on gambling industry but also in others as well.

The virus will spread due to the obvious reason and there is no cure for this pandemic yet. If the whole process continues like this, I guess the cancelled sports will be more than the expected. The few more months and the online  gambling industry will grow like never it has been before.

Perhaps, we will see a long time to break in the sports so that impact with the gambling industry. We cannot do anything except follow what is happening because they don't want to see their player gets infected so I think that is the step that really needed to prevent the virus spreads. I agree with you, and I am sure that after the vaccine can get found, and many people will be cured, the sports game will continue, and it will grow bigger than before. We need to be patient and follow what the government suggest against the virus, including all people who are involved in the sports industry.

It has a great impact on sports betting as a lot of events are being postponed.This also impacts the sport section of online casinos leaving gamblers with only a few options to bet on.It does not have an impact in slots and other casino games as they don’t pose any risk to our health.

Definitely because only sports are being suspended, it could take time so that means we have to wait a little longer now.

There is no negative impact on majority of the gamblers since most of us are losing in sports betting but on sportsbook, they are losing a good amount of money because of the suspension on sports, therefore casinos now should try to add more games and does not only focus on sports betting so they can still operate with profit.

[imstillthebest]

switching on casinos ? nope not either   . casinos are also closed  , yes im talking about live casinos that we saw on a real world  .

if your talking about online casinos  welll that also depend on the country   . also not all sport gambler love to play casino games , for what is the reason they chose sports betting anyway  ?  means some of them have tried casino games before but didnt like it and realized that its not easy to earn on them but its easy to earn on sports bettting  .

Now that almost all sporting events all over the world are cancelled, those wanting bet of sports events are left with having to find alternatives. What are the majority doing?

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?

I think the most thing of the gamblers do as of now is betting and playing on online casino. There are many gambling sites that is not associated with sports or e-sports. So I think, those gambling games like poker, blackjack, dice, roulette are the majority. Gamblers don't easily give up and they will have another way to play gambling and earn money.

I saw the news that if casinos in US do not open within 8 weeks, the budget will lose 21 billion profits. And this is only America and only gambling. If you take the full impact of coronavirus on the global economy, you can be horrified.

[Mallow]

House gambling,  , me and my friends and families are playing poker, just to pass some time because we are already in a lock-down, curfews are implemented here. But the money involved is not that huge, it's only friendly games, instead of doing nothing.

But yes, the only options for us is go online, dice, slots etc.

Very nice idea with house gambling. I'll take a note! We like to play board games.. Agricola is our fav one.

Now that almost all sporting events all over the world are cancelled, those wanting bet of sports events are left with having to find alternatives. What are the majority doing?

1. Probably some of them are finding alternatives for them to gamble.
2. Probably some of them stopped and focused on their family and their needs as they are experiencing this shitty virus.

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

For sure, most of the casinos right now all over the world are closed already because of the virus. Most of the countries right now are already affected by this stupid virus. Maybe if there are some countries who aren't affected right now and has a casino then probably they are still operating until this time.

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?

For me, none. Instead of finding an alternative way to bet, it would be better if they will just stay in their house and spend time to their love ones. Watch TV with them or anything that can make them happy as long as they will not gamble. For sure, their health is their priority right now.

On the other hand, if they are just addicted into gambling and they really want to gamble then online sites probably the one they are switching now.

Yes, right. Better play online. I also saw news about the vaccine, but it will take a lot of time to test it. It seems to me that eliminating all the consequences will take at least a year..

For hardcore football fans there is still the Australian league, one can bet on those. They are played behind closed doors though.
There seem to be many football friendly matches scheduled for tomorrow, mostly involving Scandinavian teams. But overall, it is not the best time to be a sports gambler. 

[tataren]

Unfortunately, I also do not see alternatives to the types of gambling that were before. I like to play live, online does not cause me so many emotions. But if you look for positive moments, then now is the time when you can do many other things - education, reading books, talking with loved ones etc.

[Meowth05]

What are the majority doing?

I can't say for many but I am at my house and reading a book and watcing movie.

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

I can't say that I am sure that they are giving up because you can still go for online casinos.

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

Casinos are absolutely affected by the pandemic because they gather a huge amount of people they are mostly closed right now to prevent the further spread.

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?

You can do online casino, but if it is not in your liking then you might as well distract yourself with other things such as reading book, watching tv series or what not. This situation is a very good oppurtunity for gamblers to reform or atleast reduce their addiction.
