Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?
I highly doubt that they are giving up. especially those high stake gamblers that make betting online as their main source of income. Are some gambling on casinos instead?
as a guy who occasionally bet on sportsbooks? yes, but playing in an online casino has been my main gambling hobby which means I do not consider it as an alternative.

That is the concern YOSHIE because you know what they say about idle hands and all that. I hope people that are not regular gamblers do not start out of boredom and likewise I hope those that do gamble do not start increasing in their gambling out of boredom or addiction because of excess time they have in front of their PCs Now that almost all sporting events all over the world are cancelled,
Yes, you are right that all sports bets are now stopped. Whose names are addicts and gambling there is always an alternative way to place a bet in gambling. My example, at this time I still use local sports betting in my country, for example region vs region between provinces, online and manually, that's all I can do right now. I hope for the future, everything can return to normal as usual.

Well, definitely, sports betting has a very huge demographics in terms of bettors and gamblers. The reason is because they find it more fun when they could earn at the same time, watch their favorite player or team to win in the sports/game.
I shouldn't advise this as this has a very different enjoyment compared to sports betting, but I also consider gambling in online casino to be an alternate gambling activity we should take. We might not get the same satisfaction but I am pretty sure, more gamblers could earn, and even faster than sports betting.

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?

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?
There are a lot of online sports betting most specifically on eSports. E-sports doesn't require to be happened in a crowded people or be an event that requires physical attendance. E-sports betting is the best alternative so far yet it do somehow require a lot of studying and spectating before giving a bet on a team or a person. Yet, e-sports gambling doesn't usually gambles cryptocurrencies, but instead an item or a rare skins/HUDs depending on someone's bet. Corona might have stopped the actual sports gambling, but it somehow opened an opportunity to the growing community of esports.

This situation of virus spreading uncontrollably all don't want be exposed to corona, online casino is good enough for now and in future too be the best rather than having to bet on sports gambling that might not be sure to air cause of corona. Threat of this tragic disease think should be watched out especially for the health of sports athletes, not only threatening in the field of gambling but all things.

What could be the better choice now but to play online gambling, because the authorities are forbidding people to get close, and many countries are implementing community quarantine and lockdown, so in the privacy of your home you can play online gambling at a convenient time that you like to play anywhere in your house.

And not just online gambling but crypto gambling. I think once people who couldn't go to casinos found out they have no choice but to try it online, their next big shock will be all the geoblocks, and then all the KYC issues.
And then they will go online to look for non kyc anonymous gambling and find crypto casinos:)

I dont think so, because online gambling can be played anywhere and anytime as long as the players want to gamble. Online gambling can also be an alternative for most gambling addicts who previously liked to gamble in casino because players dont have to leave home to gamble during the lockdown. If a gambling addict leaves the house just to visit the casino, then I'm sure in this situation the authorities will not give permission for them and the casino house to open their business until an unknown deadline.

I don't think there are any sports bets that are taking place now all are postponed so that bet will be temporarily stopped, maybe only a few sports games can be bet but only some can understand it.
Now it will turn to casino gambling where people can play comfortably at home, like I can't come out here because of the danger of going co-19 so to overcome the boredom I gamble at home without anyone bothering me.

Online gambling is a route that we are taking right now because of corona but that doesn't mean that we are lacking something. Telling people to just gamble on dice or whatever because sports is not available is seriously not an answer, "I want an orange" can't be answered with "here is an apple", you still haven't given people what they want.
I am not saying we have a solution, we have this corona going around and we can't have the leagues and we will definitely can't gamble on them right now, so we just have to wait until it comes back, telling people to go on and gamble something else only supports addiction at this level, I mean if people wants to play on sports and can't find sports, let them not gamble for a while and stay at home and just try to avoid gambling all together.

Well, sporting events around the world is indeed canceled. CoronaVirus has a massive impact on the sports gambling industry. The majority of the gamblers globally are shifting in Online Casinos instead. Since in Physical/traditional casinos are also forced to close their operations. Some are playing cards with their friends or families indoors, as well. What I mean is, --we just can't do anything but to find alternatives, perhaps online gambling is the best one. I miss sports betting badly.
Be safe and always stay at home to avoid this coronavirus that widely spreading all over the country.

Nice idea with online gaming bets. But I completely agree with the opinion above that this will not replace the game that people are used to. But nothing can be done, we all need to wait.

I'm an occasional sports(cricket) gambler. Since I don't see that any sports event is going to take place in the next month, I have started to play card games like Rummy, Poker, Blackjack etc. But the thing is with online Poker and Rummy you can't read your opponent and might end up losing ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) But I don't see an alternative to gambling. Card games can't be equated to sports gambling. Both are different genres and the target audience and fan base may not be similar. I have never got myself involved with card games, because I found them difficult and less exciting. And also, I usually play card games in real world, rather than doing it online. I am more comfortable that way, than going online for this genre.

Apart from Sports gambling, I have a liking towards cards when compared to dice, Hi/LO games. This may differ from person to person.

As I said, I am not a big fan of card games, because I am not good in them. I have lost considerable amounts of money in card games (not the online version though), and nowadays I rarely play these games. Some of my friends are very good in it, and they regularly invite me. But I am trying to avoid these games as they are risky for me in monetary sense. And I don't think that I'll fare any better, if I try them online.

If there are a lot of sports events that had been cancelled due to the pandemic of the corona virus and lockdowns, i think the alternative ways for sports gamblers are online gambling because it is the only gambling game that they can play at their homes because without any sports events they couldn't bet to it.

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.
