Did Covid-19 affect crypto gambling?

[hatshepsut93]

As you know, Covid-19 caused serious economic problems in the whole world, and a lot of industries got affected even indirectly, simply because people may now have less money to spend.

Do you think crypto gambling is one of such industries? Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment, and I would assume people will be gambling much less if they have lost their jobs due to lockdown. Or maybe there are some factors that counter that - like maybe crypto gamblers have deep enough pockets to sit through this quarantine and keep gambling.

What do you think? What is your experience in these times?

Nowadays more and more gambling is online because offline gambling is no longer open due to the lockdown situation that occurs in that area so I think there is no influence on crypto gambling and I think this is increasing.

This pandemic keeps people at home constantly and can't go anywhere so people who are bored will certainly do online gambling which is now widely available on various platforms with crypto, so this is expensive entertainment where here we will lose a lot of money.

[Genemind]

It could have affected gambling or instead the demand on crypto gambling might have increased since most casinos had closed down and some gamblers might have switched to online gambling.

Honestly since the lockdown, I haven't gambled online since I am keeping my crypto stash due to the halving. But this lockdown gave me a lot of time to gamble with some of my colleagues during the weekends since we are locked down at work.

Maybe those who have a huge amount of crypto savings still gamble despite of the pandemic for extra income. Some must have cashed-out since most of people had been laid-off from work.

[bitcoin31]

Because of the covid19 we have lockdown to prevent it and everyone are mandatory to stay at home and for sure most of them are playing gambling once they have money that will saved in the last few months or extra money but other people are don't have money to play gambling anymore because they did not have job and we know if you do not have that you cannot get your salary.

[GreatArkansas]

The good effect of Covid 19 is the traffic of some gambling websites (online). Most of the casinos are close, so people will start to learn how to gamble online.
But then again, there is the negative part here, there are some people who lost their job or temporary no job because of this pandemic covid 19, so, there are less or no money to gamble.

[Darker45]

As far as my personal experience is concerned, my crypto gambling spending has increased during these lockdown days. This may also be the same with others who have kept their sources of income but are required to stay at home nevertheless. Crypto gambling is a nice way to kill boredom these days. It helps a lot.

It might also be a factor that the huge majority of the land-based casinos and gambling houses, big and small, all over the world are now shut down. That might have introduced a lot of traditional gamblers to crypto gambling online. So, I guess, the loss of gamblers due to unemployment, among other reasons, is somehow balanced out with the coming of new gamblers and the increasing gambling spending of current users.

[michellee]

As the crypto gambling is at the internet, maybe crypto gambling is not get affected from the virus. But people who gamble using crypto will get the affected as they need money to survive, and they can sell their crypto if they runs out of the money. If that is happen, then they will not playing gambling because they don't have more coins to gamble. People who have much crypto amount will not have a problem if they want to playing gambling anytime but not all people can have much amount of crypto.

[Rosilito]

Facts, everyone was affected by this crisis, and there's no exception.

Do you think crypto gambling is one of such industries? Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment, and I would assume people will be gambling much less if they have lost their jobs due to lockdown. Or maybe there are some factors that counter that - like maybe crypto gamblers have deep enough pockets to sit through this quarantine and keep gambling.

With that being said. Market had been gone down below for a couple weeks back then in which might be because of people who draw their stuff out to cover up the mess such crisis been doing so. Hence, crypto gambling, I guess goes a bit low of course to wisely spend money on necessary stuff than risking it for entertainment. Well, today's market doesn't change the fact that they could spend more, not unless they can work now, or lockdown have been lifted up, or they got penny to spend with without worrying a stomach to feed.

Even I, I won't bother gambling it for a while specially I ain't that wealthy enough, and I don't even have anything much left to burn out of gambling.

[Bitinity]

No need to create a new topic for this discussion imho since there are some other topic with the same discussion in this board. One of the topis is Corona virus (COVID19) Effect in Cryptocurrency Gambling and there are still some other topics related to covid19 vs crypto gambling. So better to lock this thread to avoid repepetive posts for the same discussion.

[Jawhead999]

From my experience during quarantine I didn't gambled to much, only for fun to fill up my free time. Because I think this pandemic will be long and we can't predict what will facing in the future, better safe than sorry. But for many people who have a lot of money, probably they will gambling more as they want.

Nowadays more and more gambling is online because offline gambling is no longer open due to the lockdown situation that occurs in that area so I think there is no influence on crypto gambling and I think this is increasing.

I think you're right, we can see how people is interested about online gambling during this situation and this is the opportunity for online casino

But then again, there is the negative part here, there are some people who lost their job or temporary no job because of this pandemic covid 19, so, there are less or no money to gamble.

Crypto gambling and online gambling is not the same, crypto gambling is just a subtype of the latter, and it's likely only a very small piece of it. When people who used to go to brick and mortar casinos google "online casino", they likely won't get any crypto-related results, and unless they dig deeper or are already aware of crypto side, they'll probably never now about it. So, I really doubt that the coronavirus had positive effect on this industry.

[reliable]

I am waiting for some one here to share their experience mostly from the people who had being an additive to casinos and now due to covid could not go out and do not even enjoy the online gambling. Have they stopped it and come out of their addiction as this is also a time for them to refresh them self and think something new and do many new things during this lockdown.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

The pandemic of COVID-19 don't have any negative effect on crypto gambling because it is the reason why more gamblers put a lot of time in playing crypto casinos, since most of them temporarily don't have any jobs they have more time to enjoy themselves to play gambling through online.

[sunsilk]

It's real that everyone is suffering and have to tighten up their budget for important things to survive while we're in this pandemic. But, as it's getting longer and longer, most people that find this lockdown boring might look for some activities to do to enjoy their stay.

They might not be full time gamblers but they are gamblers at heart. And people like them are willing to spend a certain amount just to fulfill themselves. I think the badly most affected are the physical casinos as they are not allowed to operate.

[stadus]

Why crypto casinos will grow is because people does not consider it as a form of entertainment, they gamble because they want to win, and these gamblers exists even if there is a crisis, the word entertainment seems like an expense for the gamblers, they are more concern on the income side, so they will gamble because they think they can earn.

[MFahad]

Good thing about the gambling industry is that it was not closed in the covid-19 situation. People could easily play gambling online.
However I am not sure if people were able to spend a lot of money on gambling because in this covid-19 situation people have lost their jobs and businesses and therefore they might have less money to gamble.

[Clark05]

The pandemic of COVID-19 don't have any negative effect on crypto gambling because it is the reason why more gamblers put a lot of time in playing crypto casinos, since most of them temporarily don't have any jobs they have more time to enjoy themselves to play gambling through online.

So if they don't have any job because they businesses are temporarily close they don't have money to use in playing.
They have a little effect on the bad side but they have more good side on the crypto gambling because of people bored and they are plaher of traditonal gambling for sure they will play gambling by using of crypto.

[DoublerHunter]

What do you think? What is your experience in these times?

^ There will an effect but not too much. Because there are some gamblers did not have a source of income or revenue and they probably cant sustain to gamble in a long period of time. During this self-quarantine isolation is quite boring and gambling is the best alternative to have fun but I think those people who can afford to gamble even are in an economic crisis. Nevertheless, we don't cant gather data analysis because those using crypto to gamble are anonymous.

[abel1337]

I think for some crypto gamblers who gamble regularly, Their gambling activities didn't change even if there's lockdown because they are used to play online. For crypto gambling businesses I think they gained more users than before because some players temporarily switched to online gambling since physical casinos are closed. And for the gambling experience, I expect that nothing has changed even though the traffic is more due to new gamblers playing it would probably not affect the gambling experience of the gamblers.

[Naida_BR]

In my opinion, crypto gambling is affected positively due to COVID-19.
As traditional casinos are closed due to lockdown and social distancing measures, people have started turning to online casinos and crypto casinos in order to savor their casino desires.

[Shasha80]

Based on the results of my investigation covid-19 has a positive effect on crypto gambling. It's true that many people lose their jobs,
but for Gambling crypto the user is increasing. Because most countries impose lockdowns, it makes some people feel bored after a few
weeks of going nowhere. And gambling oline can be a solution to eliminate burnout, because crypto gambling is an entertainment in
a situation like now and also playing crypto gambling does not have to use large capital. Enough with $ 10 can start crypto gambling.

Economic problems in the world are different world were expected, we just waited something to happen to show the true power of global economy and how shallow it is! Wholes from before are now bigger and there's nothing that can stop current economy from falling apart! But of course governments and banks will try to save it with our own money! Bailing out is just for big ones!

But we in crypto are in the same position as before, we know what we have, we are looking for ways to earn more, we are spending crypto on trading or gambling, and there's always some coins for that What pandemic did to us, nothing we just had more time to be here online! At least for me, and as I can see many others. We made a great bitcointalk tournament, and we played series 1 and started second series, feel free to join us! We can make even better and bigger tournament!

[cabron]

Tables are turned I guess. In the previous years, the traditional casinos are the ones that earnings big but Covid19 had changed it. When the virus made us all stay at home for safety, people didn't just look for safety but also entertainment and gamblers turn to online casinos, I doubt many of them will return to physical casinos. The internet win and cryptocurrency technology are leading all these to happen.

[Swordsoffreedom]

For Covid-19 epidemic, there are so many people are forced to stayed at home, for this reason online traffic is growing rapidly. Not only gambling, it impacts on Online based dating, games, cinemas, learning platforms and online based adult industry too. Since people can't go to the casino, this is a huge opportunity for online gambling platforms to attract the visitors who are stuck at home for lockdown.  Now a days I've noticed that too many players are started to enter in online poker rooms.

[Gotumoot]

I think it does because all of the casino has been shutdown due to lockdown casino gamblers would seek other type of gambling and they could see crypto gambling.
So for me it affected crypto but in a positive way it attracts more gambler.

We have no data to check what is the real picture but based on my observation, people still playing and will continue to play, it's not a world war scenario it's a stay home scenario, where people are locked in their home and they can do what they want to do they have all the time, it's all up on if they have the money to spend playing, I guess some have it, and some do not.

So better to lock this thread to avoid repepetive posts for the same discussion.

I agree with you...
discussing things that already exist is a waste of time. it is clear that this outbreak greatly affected crypto gambling, especially sports betting, all major games were canceled but good news came to online casinos that experienced an increase in players due to this outbreak.

[$crypto$]

In my opinion, crypto gambling is affected positively due to COVID-19.
As traditional casinos are closed due to lockdown and social distancing measures, people have started turning to online casinos and crypto casinos in order to savor their casino desires.

That's right, traditional casinos have been closed since the lockdown took effect and many gambling lovers are now turning to online casinos because it is one of the gambles that can be played at the moment but only sports gambling is not available due to being stopped due to this pandemic.
But casinos and poker are now becoming a lot of buried gamblers to play but we must be able to play with a quiet time and of course this to eliminate the sense of boredom at home.

[hahay]

So far gambling has not completely stopped just because of this epidemic and yes, at least the crypto gambler still holds some crypto in his wallet and that means gamblers who use crypto are still very likely to bet at the casino and also, even in my environment there are still a few places for some people get together and they really gamble. So even though the reduced income still won't stop every gambling addict, because as long as they or the gambling addicts still have money they will be ready to bet even in this Covid-19 pandemic and that is very worrying.

[figmentofmyass]

So, I really doubt that the coronavirus had positive effect on this industry.

it boils down to individual demographics. crypto gamblers who weren't too adversely affected economically hit the tables more, being shut in by the quarantines. SwC Poker had noticeably more traffic in april than march. they ran a quarantine poker series to capitalize on people staying home.

with spring weather in full swing though and the lockdowns being lifted, traffic seems to be lightening up again. our 2nd bitcointalk poker series which started last week brought out ~ 1/3 less players this time. hopefully that improves but we'll see. SwC is ending their quarantine series this week after a couple tourneys didn't reach their guarantees, which also tells me their traffic is dipping back down.

All of industries are heavily affected on this one yet we know that quarantine which do made these industries doesnt generate any income because of the absence of people into a particular platform or place which is understandable but there are things that can still be done online like online casinos which are still continuing to operate amidst with the current pandemic situation.People who do play on physical places might consider this option while waiting for things to be resolved just to ease their leisure or want to gamble.It just a matter of choice and capacity though because not all would really have that
fund into their pockets to play while in a crisis, lucky for those who are rich but not for the average or lower ones.

[ShowOff]

So far gambling has not completely stopped just because of this epidemic and yes,

Especially for crypto-based gambling, the pandemic at least has an impact on sports betting that has been suspended. In general, other games will continue as usual and there may be an increase in the transition from sports bets to other bets.

So even though the reduced income still won't stop every gambling addict, because as long as they or the gambling addicts still have money they will be ready to bet even in this Covid-19 pandemic and that is very worrying.

Only heavy addicts have a habit of continuing to gamble under any circumstances and they like to make gambling where they make money. We dont need to worry about that, gambling is each others decision without coercion.

Right at this point of time, economic state is really being affected because of the pandemic since people are tend to stay at home so there will be no production being made to produce goods and services that brings the economic state down for this moment. Gambling is one of those who is affected and it is included on the gaming industry that also have a big contribution to the economic state of a country since it pays taxes which is where the fund of a country came from. Well, offline gambling are the ones who are directly being affected by this since casinos and sports hall (for sports bet) is temporarily closed for a while. We can say that gambling still continue in an online platform through the use of online gambling sites which enables people to conveniently play while staying indoors. It is still somehow being affected because people might tend to temporarily stop playing because of limited source of money whether crypto or stable coins because people do not have jobs as of the moment.

[Natalim]

It's hard to get the exact effect because these data can only be acquired from the crypto casinos and they are not publishing it.

Here's my simple analysis..

people are struggling financially due to the covid-19 pandemic, but there are people who are still winning to gamble, maybe if we will based it on the financial struggle, money spent in gambling will be reduce but we also have to look at the bright side as gamblers on land based casino are now going into online gambling since we know they are close at the moment, so it's just some kind of ( clients = deduct + add)... I mean there's a little effect negatively.

overall they'll survive and might grow over time.

During lockdown I still find the time to play because I have a long hour infront of the computer, I believe the effect is not really negative, there are some gamblers that got affected but those who are on a no work no pay basis but businessman and those with secured job are not, we hardly see online gambling closing during this pandemic.

[Kemarit]

Obviously, whales might not be affected though, they are big time gamblers and love to play all-in so I will assume that they will not be affected by this pandemic. They can throw literally millions of dollars to continue with their habits. But for average Joe's, it will be a different story, perhaps they will likely to play less and manage their crypto's accordingly. We really didn't anticipated that the lockdown will go on for months, maybe in the first month, they continue to gamble, but as the quarantine is extended, majority of them might shift their priorities, "to bring food in the table", instead of gambling their crypto/fiat.

Crypto gambling grows more in this Pandemic meaning that Gambling here Benefits from COVID-19 .about the less money ?well those small time gamblers but those capable?they can even spend more than they usually risk.
Look how much time they have now compared in normal or live casino?
and also the advantage of this Virus is people now learn more about online gambling  since this is the only option they have this days.

I don't think it has a negative impact all, there are still a lot of gambling sites and the promotion is still great, there are still a lot of promotion nothing really changes, I guess people are still playing and they can play longer hours now, because of the longer hours they now stay on their homes, and the longer you stay the longer coins that you are going to spend.

[imstillthebest]

on the chat where the gambling site i play i see people mentioned about the stimulus money or the one that governments give to them   . so i suspect that they are using that money to gamble   .

 so they still play gambling , they also recieve thier adavance 13 month pay and other incentives from thier postponed job   .   while on me  , i dont have work before so i can say that my gambling status is still the same    . i still play minimally with or without funds

[rhomelmabini]

I don't think it affects that much negatively on the gambling industry but I think the appropriate answer was it affect positively as many people who prefers physical casinos have turn into online gambling specifically crypto gambling.

Calvin Ayre endorses here shitcoinSV but I think that still makes an impact over crypto gambling, to say the least.

I don't think it affects that much negatively on the gambling industry but I think the appropriate answer was it affect positively as many people who prefers physical casinos have turn into online gambling specifically crypto gambling.

With the pandemic currently ravaging the world, the influx of people that have been gambling on casinos and playing online during the quarantine is very high. Gambling patrons will surely try this option since most of the casinos and gambling houses closed (saved for those illegal). In my opinion, this pandemic helped many online business peosper for obvious reasons and this is also very good PR for the online businesses because they are getting recognized by more people. My advice to people wanting to invest in something, try online casinos or better yet try kickstarting an online business.

[yazher]

In my opinion, crypto gambling is affected positively due to COVID-19.

Not only casinos, but most gambling activities are also closed because there's nothing to bet with, due to the games being suspended or moved to another schedule until further notice. it has affected not only the gambling industries but all of the sports companies franchises have faced a low income in their sales.

The sports companies are trying to resume their events again, but they need approval from the government because, without the government, they cannot do that. The sports companies, the gambling industries, and the other industries are dying, especially for small companies because they cannot make money from the industries. We hope that they can survive in this pandemic so they can resume their business once the pandemic ends.

[LincolnMikkel]

Currently can't afford me to gamble anymore until the virus outbreak will be stopped.

[mirakal]

Currently can't afford me to gamble anymore until the virus outbreak will be stopped.

At least you understand and you are honest, we don't need to force things up, we have to focus on our priority now.
Though there are people who can still gamble at the moment because they have a lot of savings or they are still making good income, this is not for everyone.

It did not affect the crypto gambling in overall because some are still gambling.
People just come and go here, this is the nature of the business.

[Latviand]

The good effect of Covid 19 is the traffic of some gambling websites (online). Most of the casinos are close, so people will start to learn how to gamble online.

So, I really doubt that the coronavirus had positive effect on this industry.

Not really because there are still online gambling casinos that allow its customer to use cryptocurrency in their platform. The gambling casinos that are really affected by this pandemic are those physical casinos that make people gather in a certain place. We all know that this quarantine makes people unable to go outside and go to the casino that they want to play with. Maybe, the crypto casinos are somehow affected because the volume of people who are gambling online will increase. This covid-19 affects all of the sectors in the government so maybe the economy is also affected and so the cryptocurrency. There are a lot of possibilities that may occur the the virus can also affect the gambling casino digitally.

[Wexnident]

I'm pretty sure that it got affected. I mean, was there a business that wasn't affected by the virus? Almost, if not all industries in the world revolve around buying and selling so I doubt there is one though. Especially since selling requires resources, and with a lot of places being unable to properly function, said resources would naturally dwindle down because no one can properly gather them at an amount where the demand meets the supply. Even with gambling which basically handles money. Sure, at the beginning, there may be a number of people who would still gamble, but that number should drop quite a bit as time passes by. The only ones who can afford to still gamble are those rich people out there that aren't much affected when it comes to money tbh. They have an abundant amount that they have no idea what to do with it anymore after all.

[LogitechMouse]

Due to the pandemic, gamblers can't go to work.
If they can't go to work they don't have any salary or money.
If they don't have money, they don't have funds to be use for gambling.
Therefore, COVID19 affected crypto gambling but not directly affected.

Since we know that most of the gamblers right now can't go to their work, the virus affected crypto gambling already since they don't have any funds to use. Those who are working at home who are also gambling aren't affected at all but those who are working in a company or an establishments who've been closed for months are greatly affected and their gambling habits are also affected too for sure.

There are a lot of possibilities that may occur the the virus can also affect the gambling casino digitally.

This is because Google search provides local search results which is why when people search for "online casino", the results show websites of local casinos. I can't see crypto-related casinos when I tried it but I think people will find these crypto casinos in some places where casinos are now starting to accept BTC.

The gamblers who are used to brick and mortar casinos will eventually start learning how to use BTC when they begin to see the benefit of being anonymous in online casinos.

[Questat]

Due to the pandemic, gamblers can't go to work.

Actually not all of us can't go to work, people who work in a business that is selling essential product and services are still permitted to work provided they follow all the safety measures, hence, they will receive a salary and they have a money to gamble, that if they choose to still gamble at this situation.

[bct_ail]

I think this pandemic will not have a negative impact on the online gambling industry. The revenues are more likely to increase. People are more bored than before, so they are looking for distractions.
The people who have less money than before will hopefully set the right priorities.

Positively yes,there is a Good effect in Crypto Gambling this pandemic ,Look how many gambling sites has been advertised here in forum in just a 2 months duration?meaning there are so many target gamblers of the developer thats why they are putting many sites and platform to gain from players this effect in crypto because many of us encourage our friends to try using crypto as materials compared to Fiat.

[GDragon]

As you know, Covid-19 caused serious economic problems in the whole world, and a lot of industries got affected even indirectly, simply because people may now have less money to spend.

Do you think crypto gambling is one of such industries? Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment, and I would assume people will be gambling much less if they have lost their jobs due to lockdown. Or maybe there are some factors that counter that - like maybe crypto gamblers have deep enough pockets to sit through this quarantine and keep gambling.

What do you think? What is your experience in these times?

I think so too. No one is exempted in this trying times. While its true that a lot of gamblers are still gambling through online gambling. We can't deny that some gamblers still chose to stop because of the pandemic. And we are in lockdown for 2 months now, some maybe lost their savings in the first month(unless they won or still working from home). Its also true that some gamblers can stay gambling for a few month without being in trouble, and they are the customers of the online gambling now.

As for me, I chose to stop because we are face with the uncertainty of the future, I just realized that I need to save for the future to come.

In some points that's right since there are people who are still into gambling even though there's already pandemic virus that spreading around, they will find online houses to fill in their urge of playing, but in the other hand, since there's also problem with the economy people also choose not to gamble the money that's left from their savings.

[plvbob0070]

Gambling may be expensive leisure but we have different financial statuses. Obviously, for those who struggle and have lesser income, there would be a negative effect of COVID on their gambling. But for those who are fortunate, they are still capable of gambling even with COVID so they don't have to worry financially.

Personally, I can still afford to buy my needs and still have a little budget for extra entertainment but thinking wisely, I will prefer not to gamble.  I want to use this extra money practically or save this in case of an extended lockdown or emergency. I'm thinking of only going back to gambling if everything started going back to normal. So to answer your question, yes, it made me stop gambling for a while since I have my priorities I need to think first than gambling.

[danherbias07]

But it's cheaper this way.

You could play a longer time with just $100.  
While in casinos it will just take minutes to deplete it, if lucky an hour then you will be going home early if you don't have a spare.
I try to do something else to avoid it.
Putting just the right amount and if I lose that, I will restart again tomorrow.
A limit to wins should also be provided. When you double the money then try to rest, do no let greed take over.

Well, I guess this is right. Obviously there is a change in crypto gambling because of the pandemic and that is the increase on the demand for online or crypto gambling for people who are fun of playing in physical casinos are now playing in online casinos because they don't have the option of doing it and boredom may push gamblers as well as some people to play in online casinos. Funds of gamblers may also affect crypto gambling for some people would tend to lessen their gambling time to save money and use it instead for their necessities especially we or some of us are still in lockdown but rest assure they cannot totally quit gambling it may only be reduced, --but once the lockdown has been lifted and they can earn again then they will go back to gamble as frequent as they were before. Indeed, COVID 19 has a huge impact on crypto gambling and it is profitable for the owners of these platforms.

I would really hope for those people, that they stand away from gambling if the have less money due to pandemic.

But if you refer to the revenues for the online gambling industry I guess the impact from people with less money is smaller. So I mean, at the end they will have slighty more revenues from the "boring gambler" who will have played more.

[skarais]

Right, there has been an increase in the promotion of new gambling sites and old sites on forums in the last few months. Gambling sites maximize their chances of attracting visitors because many people are bored staying at home while lockdown.

However, I dont think that this will increase site revenue quickly because some people will also save money during a pandemic. No sports betting also has an important factor for them to try to attract the interest of gamblers turning to sites with other classic games such as dice, blackjack, and others.

Of course we must be able to save in our finances because if we bet with existing money it will be difficult too if the lockdown is extended later with that policy we must think that entertainment with gambling is not right at that time except tips on having lots of money then it's up to you because with enough money will certainly make us calm.

I think the question should be more subjective because the covid-19 have nothing to do with crypto gambling it is impacting on every people so it should be more specific. Nonetheless, I haven't seen any data saying that the user of most gambling platform is decreasing. So I guess it is safe to say that covid-19 do not touch the crypto gambling. In theory, crypto gambling services should be in trend right now because every gambling houses is closed as of the moment.

Correct. Those who lost their jobs are likely to quite gambling at least for now (or they go all crazy and try to gamble their savings). Again, those people whose pockets are already filled but want to gamble as a form of entertainment (during this boring lockdown). Again, those who are already heavy gamblers, but never gambled on crypto casino might also turn to online casinos. Highly likely to choose a crypto casino due its all the benefits and easiness.

[Rengga Jati]

As you know, Covid-19 caused serious economic problems in the whole world, and a lot of industries got affected even indirectly, simply because people may now have less money to spend.

Do you think crypto gambling is one of such industries?

The answer is yes. There are some reasons why the gambling industry also becomes one of the sectors that are influenced or affected by this pandemic.
1. There are so many offline casinos closed during this pandemic. It reduces the income for many parties; the owners, people working there, the environment around casinos, and also the gamblers itself.
2. Many gamblers cannot come to the casino to play, willing to win but they are not laying. Probably it does not only influence their financial system but also their physiology. Moreover, they are addicted to gambling.
3. Online gambling sites are now more popular. Many gamblers come to or switch to online gambling to keep playing gambling. It may be different enough from the offline casinos, but at least, they can still play them.

We can only spend our money for the needs and it's really hard to think about gambling, because people couldn't come out to work and earn money. What has left was minimal saving to feed the family as well as having that money for survival while every community was on quarantine. Those scenarios is the key factors why crypto gambling couldn't be patronized at 100% by now, due to ongoing financial crisis of every individuals.

[Debonaire217]

Of course yes, almost all of the industry has been affected by the covid19 crisis, however, physical gambling casinos are the ones who experience a higher intensity of the effect due to closing the establishments. While online gambling casinos possibly has higher traffic because there's a possibility that physical casino gamblers might seek alternative ways to play and playing online is the most efficient. Well, no other way to consider. On the other hand, there's also a possibility that most of the people are saving their funds for their needs so instead of gambling physically or online, they might consider buying foods and other goods they need.

[Fundamentals Of]

There are probably more crypto gamblers affected by the current crisis than those whose pockets are deep enough they need not worry about the pandemic at all. Gambling is a luxury many people must have set aside for now in favor of the more necessary expenses. This is my experience right now especially because the end of this crisis is still not in sight pending vaccine success.

Basic necessities doesn't matter for those who still itching to gamble because they still have enough money to survive for many years even with the pandemic and lockdown. Since most gamblers are rich and some are in the middle class. Not to mention they are into cryptocurrency, I assume they have enough money to risks in investing in cryptocurrency.
Nevertheless, you are right, let's set aside these vices for now. Let's help the needy first at this very moment.

Correct, many people are trying to fill their daily needs and reduce to buy an unnecessary thing before they can buy the primary thing. They need to save money for the future, just in case if the pandemic is over until the end of the year. That money will be too important for them to be used for playing gambling unless they have another cash that is free from the primary thing that they need to buy. Perhaps, if they have cryptocurrency, they will use that crypto to play gambling, and I guess some people who have crypto is already playing gambling using crypto.

Exactly my Point there mate because this kind of increase usually happens only in the year ender as on that days People having bonuses than can be spend in gambling but look at now while the world has crisis gambling sites are popping as if there are no big problem.

However, I dont think that this will increase site revenue quickly because some people will also save money during a pandemic. No sports betting also has an important factor for them to try to attract the interest of gamblers turning to sites with other classic games such as dice, blackjack, and others.

i believe that the main target here are those Big fishes in gambling,as they have no option to go in casino houses so they will surely provide something for their desires to gambling and that is online playing.

[Kasabus]

i believe that the main target here are those Big fishes in gambling,as they have no option to go in casino houses so they will surely provide something for their desires to gambling and that is online playing.

Maybe we should also try to ask ourselves, what are the games those big gamblers are playing in a casino? IMO, they risk more money on games they think they have a big chance of winning, like Poker, so do you think they would trust the online poker when they are a traditional gambler?

[kotajikikox]

I have seen some new gambling betting sites comes out this past months and i assume that this is the effect of quarantine so the gambling lords are targetting boring people in their houses to enjoy betting i guess?though i have no concrete evidence that gambling community grows with Covid19.

Remember gambler will always look for gambling and thats the reality of them to sustain their habits mate.

so for me even this is online but leaved them without options to play?of course they will surely risk money because they care nothing to lose what important to them is to make a chance of winning for their own satisfactions .

[stadus]

We will never know I guess but in general I think the gambling industry has been affected a lot.
Like for example, a land based casino like Vegas, they are making billions of money in a yearly basis, so that is a big loss now that they are stopped from operating.

[swogerino]

I think crypto gamblers are the least hit by the crisis.Most of the crypto gamblers have good money to spend and most of them may have backup crypto saved which they can use during this time.The same cannot be said for fiat gambling as people tend to spend their money through their daily living and I think have less money to spend on gambling compared with crypto gamblers.

[KrisAlex18]

This COVID-19 makes the whole casino gambling temporarily closed because they are lessening the risk of spreading the virus and as we all know if we are in the casino gambling, it is so crowded, there are many people inside the casino so if they still allow casino gambling to open there would be a lot of gamblers that will still play and the social distancing would not be seen in the casino.

Online gambling is now being popular, to avoid boredom at home we tend to do something, and play g online games is one of the common things we are doing because it finds so entertaining and it is also a way of making money.

But always be careful when gambling because it is like trading and investing, we are taking the risk, we may lose and we may win, so we really need a big capital when doing so.

The middle class and the lower class person are badly affected by covid 19 lock down and they find it difficult to meet their daily needs. In these situation they can't even think of playing gambling. However, this does not mean that gambling business is down, those who are rich are still playing and enjoying online gambling.

[BitcoinTurk]

What do you think?

If you need to evaluate about today, I think that interest in online gambling services will increase and services that provide cryptocurrencies and gambling services will be more preferred. Especially during this period when physical casinos are closed, many gamblers will prefer to continue gambling online. In the long term, I think that if this quarantine process gets longer, people will gain the habit of playing gambling online and the interest in such services will remain at such high levels in the future. In this process, it will be very easy to give people this habit, I think the services in the gambling industry should make good use of this opportunity. Who knows, perhaps the next trend will be online gambling services, and physical casinos will lose current market power.

There are surely people who are not affected by the crisis brought by the covid pandemic.

I don't agree that most gamblers are rich. That is not what many available data on the subject show us. Majority of the world's gamblers are poor. Gambling is especially rampant in poor and depressed communities.

You're right, if rich people can have the luxury to gamble during this crisis, they might be able to help the needy also. But it's their freedom.

[LogitechMouse]

In my opinion, COVID19 affected crypto gambling but not a directly affected.

Most of the gamblers right now can't go to work since there is a lockdown in their place. Since they can't work, they have no monthly salary for 1-2 months already. They have no salary means they don't have any funds to be use for crypto gambling. Since most of the gamblers can't gamble right now, the daily profit of the owners of these crypto gambling sites are affected and decreased.

It is not affected directly by the virus but the fact that it affected the gamblers since they have no source of income for a month or two is the proof that it really is affected.

[TheUltraElite]

It is the start of the month June and still people are gambling like nothing happened on online casinos. New casinos are coming up everyday and new games which are mostly PvC type.

The difference is only that EV+ games have reduced but with soccer games coming soon we might see reopening on sports betting as well. For now it is just eSports and if you are not a fan of those or have prior experience in them, dont go for them. Of course a wise gambler would know that already.

Also people have less money in their pockets now. So it would wiser to save up for essential costs. Many people have lost their jobs too.

[Shimmiry]

Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment, and I would assume people will be gambling much less if they have lost their jobs due to lockdown. Or maybe there are some factors that counter that - like maybe crypto gamblers have deep enough pockets to sit through this quarantine and keep gambling.

Well, I believe that those were the only two possibilities on how does covid-19 affect crypto gamling worldwide. Covid-19 might made crypto gamblers be out from gambling for a while because it became a pandemic, maybe they thought that it will be the best option to stay away from it and fund their money for emerygency purposes and for food and other necessary things that they will be using under quarantine. Because of that, a lot of gamblers maybe stopped for a while. On the otherhand, due to gamblers are off from work, and they do have a lot of money to spend with, and they are crypto gamblers, they had a lot of time to gamble. If a lot of them did that, it will make crypto gambling to become steady as it is because they filled those holes left by those who are out on fambling for a while. Or maybe crypto gambling went higher because there are a lot of gamblers that are at home gambling from time to time.

This scenario demonstrates that no matter what situation we have or whatever crisis we are in, online casinos will thrive as people from all walks of life can access it anytime, anywhere. Only thing is that, most of those players that are relying on their salary are having their tight budget to nothing at all during this pandemic. Yet, even if they say they are in budget, they still can allot a lil bit to spend on their gambling habits. This is where casinos are capitalizing at, those gambling addicts that will play no matter the situation is.

[LogitechMouse]

Well, these probably are the ones whose either addicted to gambling already and they can't help themselves and pandemic isn't enough to stop them or they are just hoping that gambling can give some money for them to be use to buy some essentials - in short they are risking their money thru gambling. Can't blame them but it would be better if they will stop gambling right now and focus on buying essentials and find another job either online (better) or offline if they can go out and work.

Also people have less money in their pockets now. So it would wiser to save up for essential costs. Many people have lost their jobs too.

With the establishments being closed worldwide for more than a month, the pockets of the employees and those who are working are empty unless they have emergency funds which is I recommend for those who are working. I'm saving up some money too so that I can buy some essentials that will help us to survive in this pandemic.

Its just sad to think that they are still trying out their best to play even if their salary or money is just really enough for their daily needs.Well, this is
how gambling addicts do make such dumb decisions as long they can feed out their leisure on playing gambling and thats the priority on their mind most of the
time.Covid pandemic indeed affect crypto gambling both casinos houses and players itself but still we can access it through online which means
people do still have that option and now that casino physical places already open their doors then situation would even more rampant.

[mersal]

I feel like this corona pandemic lockdown made the crypto gambling industry to boost up more from their past because people no need to visit casinos and also they will not be having any issues if they olay on gambling sites which has no KYC policies.

One who is living their life from their monthly salary and having gambling as their regular habit got affected but as you said its expensive form of entertainment so more people who got money will be spending online for now.

[boltz]

Every domain was affected but gambling was hard affected as there were no games or sports playing during this period besides some Esports tourney but most of the gamblers have no idea about Counter Strike, Dota , LoL or Overwatch leagues so they did not attract a lot of new gambles but instead a lot of gamblers start using online casinos.

In my country the gamble agencies will reopen only one month from now so if you're not using a visa or paypall, skrill , you have no option to gamble on sports, even now when Bundesliga and a few other league are back.

[dentolas]

I think that crypto gambling should have been rising as people are sitting at home doing nothing and a lot of them are holding a lot of their crypto and loosing hope on a bull run... perfect combination for spending some crypto by gambling (and note that for a lot of people crypto is not on the same mind compartment as "true" money)
And you are safe from the virus at the same time...

Yup, it increased the profits for sure especially due to lockdowns.

People were made to stay at home and work online so they were able to do things they weren't able to during work. Like you wouldn't be able to gamble at work because someone might come in and catch you.

 Also in many workplaces casinos and porn sites are blocked and you can't even access them or get a warning if you're found doing it. At home you're free to do whatever you want.

[BITCOIN4X]

I think that crypto gambling should have been rising as people are sitting at home doing nothing

It is possible that the increase in new users on gambling sites, both crypto and fiat gambling sites is caused because they have to stay at home. People are too stressed at home and gambling is the solution for those who like to spend money for pleasure.

Only by staying at home, you will reduce the burden on the government and health workers in terms of reducing the incidence of infection and you are free to do anything while at home including gambling. Remember that during a pandemic many people need more saving money, so its better to manage the amount of money that will be spent gambling each month is something to consider.

It still needs more time to see crypto gambling rising because people can not accept crypto as soon as possible. I think people need to think about crypto itself, and they need to learn more about crypto so they can understand how to use crypto. If they already know about crypto, and they found a gambling website by coincidentally, I think that can encourage them to try to play crypto gambling. Maybe we will see the number of people who play crypto gambling will increase, but still, we don't know how many people who gamble using crypto.

[Fredomago]

As you know, Covid-19 caused serious economic problems in the whole world, and a lot of industries got affected even indirectly, simply because people may now have less money to spend.

Actually as time passed by there is a harder and harder effect over the weeks since you post this the effect really goes wider and all the businesses and establishments falls down.

Do you think crypto gambling is one of such industries? Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment, and I would assume people will be gambling much less if they have lost their jobs due to lockdown. Or maybe there are some factors that counter that - like maybe crypto gamblers have deep enough pockets to sit through this quarantine and keep gambling.

Gambling can be called luxury game and will only fulfilled if we have much money to play with and because Jobs are forbidden these days?only few gamblers can spend time and money to play.

What do you think? What is your experience in these times?

But i think since even whales or millionaires has no other place to play?then Gambling online is blooming and making way to growth.

[Questat]

It is reported that during the COVID-19, the flow of blockchain gaming platforms increased significantly. As more and more people isolate themselves due to the COVID-19, game platforms around the world have experienced peak traffic. The intuitive factor for the growth of blockchain game traffic this time is the epidemic, but the real reason behind it is the demand for blockchain games.

There's a demand already, it has just increase now as traditional gamblers are introduce to crypto online gambling and they love platforms in crypto and that result to the adoption. We can consider what is happening now helps the us to introduce crypto gambling to traditional gamblers, and hopefully they will stay even when the pandemic is over.

With the less appearance of physical casino it is indeed online casino is in demand nowadays due to the pandemic. This makes more demand in online gambling since people can't go out too due to the lockdown. But I doubt if more people would stay to play in online gambling anymore if the pandemic is over, I'm sure they missed having someone to talk to when playing. It's like more people is excited about how to socialize to others.

The current health issue is changing a lot not only in gambling but everything we have before and having a new normal this time.

Most likely before we saw a lot of people go to casinos, sports live games but everything has changed now. Instead of seeing them roam around, they'll keep themselves at home and gamble online. That is why we could see the massive growth of online gamblers compared before COVID-19 and the lockdown. But the worse thing that I may see this is will cause more gambling addiction.

To see there is a positive effect but also creating a negative result. Now that people are getting lazy to go outside because they'll keep gambling.

It is reported that during the COVID-19, the flow of blockchain gaming platforms increased significantly. As more and more people isolate themselves due to the COVID-19, game platforms around the world have experienced peak traffic. The intuitive factor for the growth of blockchain game traffic this time is the epidemic, but the real reason behind it is the demand for blockchain games.

There's a demand already, it has just increase now as traditional gamblers are introduce to crypto online gambling and they love platforms in crypto and that result to the adoption. We can consider what is happening now helps the us to introduce crypto gambling to traditional gamblers, and hopefully they will stay even when the pandemic is over.

It's like more people is excited about how to socialize to others.

And that is also a proof that gamblers can't hold of themselves even when there is a pandemic. They will choose to gamble instead of focusing their money in the essentials for their family .

After this pandemic, probably there will be some who will stay in online gambling because they see it enjoyable and less hassle for them but still there are some who will go to a physical casino as they are more comfortable with many people around them. They can communicate with other people personally and maybe that is what makes them excited like you said.

It affects Crypto gambling in positive and negative ways, but it's more on a positive because those who are playing in the gambling casinos are shifting to online casinos and there was a study about that, people have a lot of time to play or gambling online because of the pandemic, on the negative side since a lot of industries are closed not everyone can play on whatever they have they have to allocate first for their basic needs and only use what remains on the budget.

We don't hope that if many people playing online gambling will make them addicted to gambling because they have a lot of time to play gambling at their home. They can play gambling anytime they want, but they must know that playing gambling is only for fun purposes and don't use gambling as a source of income because we already know that many people lost their job because of this pandemic. People should use the internet to search for a new way of making money so they can have a chance to buy their basic needs such as food, drinks, vitamin, fruits, and else.

i think that pretty much summarizes what happened during this pandemic. online casinos gain some new users, but other players have their tight budget, that they need to secure their basic needs first. but i think generally speaking, its more on the positive side as many people are stuck in their homes, they have nothing to do but spend more time online and gambling is one of the entertainment platforms that they can easily accustomed to

The intuitive factor for the growth of blockchain game traffic this time is the epidemic, but the real reason behind it is the demand for blockchain games.

Demand for Blockchain games are indeed but of course there are no option because live casinos and local gambling places are off as they are being forced to close by government.

but we know that the search for Cryptocurrency because of lockdown so the implication of affecting the gambling world will also increased.

What i wanted to see is the graph about how each gambling sites increase this covid19 season.

[xSkylarx]

I don't think so. It even helped to introduce to some people the blockchain and cryptocurrencies because of their habit in gambling. More people are now aware and they can use it to gamble online. Maybe some of them are now investing in crypto because they learned the potential of it in the future.

[Negotiation]

Covid-19 has no effect on gambling but rather has increased the demand for gambling Because of the lockdown everyone is leaning towards online gambling without wasting time sitting at home. Many play for fun. But most people are participating in gambling to overcome the financial crisis The demand for crypto is increasing along with gambling Covid-19 hurts the country's economy but has no effect on crypto and gambling.

Maybe some of them are now investing in crypto because they learned the potential of it in the future.

Any valid source? Gambling online is not always crypto-gambling.

People become more active in online gambling but do you really think more become an enthusiast of crypto-gambling online?"

And for a gambler, I doubt they really care for the potential on crypto by investing in it. They gamble to win, not to hold it for long.

The demand for crypto is increasing along with gambling Covid-19 hurts the country's economy but has no effect on crypto and gambling.

Let's face the fact that crypto is not helpful in a time like this. It can't use much for food delivery online, purchasing essential things, basic things since there is the only few merchant that accepting crypto payment that much directly.

Good thing there are exchangers that convert BTC to fiat. But not all countries, do have a service like this.

Online fiat payment is the one that most used today. More convenient and fast.

[Janation]

Some online casinos as far as I know are affected.

It doesn't mean that they are an online casino, it doesn't mean that they don't need anyone managing the site. There are a lot of online sites that can't be managed well since workers are not allowed to go to their offices. Another thing is that since there are a lot of sports events that's been cancelled, the options to bet are limited.

[adaseb]

I think the effect was pretty much neutral. Even though people were stuck at home so out of boredom they could of gambled more, at the same time people lost their jobs and couldn't afford to gamble. Been part of Bitcointalk for the last 5-6 years or so and the only time that the gambling section or any BCT section was busy with newbies when during 2017-2018. In the past couple of months I didn't notice any new adoption to crypto or crypto gambling.

The only sector that did well in covid19 was the stock brokerages. Basically millions of people started trading for the first time with their phones and caused companies like Hertz to go up like crazy after they went bankrupt. There is a website called Robintrack which shows how many new positions were taken with a certain stocks and in the past 2 months there was like 1 million positions opened with the leadership top 10 stocks. Imagine how many it is all together with all brokerages.

Many play for fun. But most people are participating in gambling to overcome the financial crisis The demand for crypto is increasing along with gambling Covid-19 hurts the country's economy but has no effect on crypto and gambling.

It is fact that suddenly the demand for the gambling during this pandemic times would have shoot up as many who could not visit the casinos due to lockdown might have moved to online and thus many gambling sites would have seen a huge traffic in lasts 2 months . Also we are seeing new bonuses , free spins etc offers are also being rolled out to attract more customers .

I agree that there is a large rise in demand for online gambling, because the casinos are closed. A lot of people who play regularly in a physical casino can't do it anymore. So the only solution is to play online. Also, people have more spare time at the moment and a lot of people work from home, saving  time in commuting to work.

The only backlash from covid 19 would be that people are not so willing to spend a lot of money, I would assume that we see more gambling for smaller amounts than we have seen before

[KrisAlex18]

I think so, because of this pandemic virus, we are all now jobless therefore we don't have that much money, even though we have saved money, we would not spend it for gambling, better to spend it for our daily needs like foods, hygiene, etc. instead of spending it on gambling. Most people are thinking that way because they don't want to be hungry. It's really hard if you don't have money in this current situation because the help of our government Is not quite enough to support and sustain the needs of their family.

Nowadays more and more gambling is online because offline gambling is no longer open due to the lockdown situation that occurs in that area so I think there is no influence on crypto gambling and I think this is increasing.

Well said, as of now online gambling is commonly used by the gamblers because casino gambling is now temporarily closed for the safety of everyone. We are doing online gambling because of boredom, or for entertainment, we have so much time at home and to spend in gambling is what we do sometimes.

Do we have a data that would support this? Without which, either way is possible.

While the closure of land-based casinos may mean higher demand for online casinos, online casinos do not necessarily mean crypto casinos. If the traditional land-based casino gamblers will shift online, how likely it is that they would shift to crypto as well?

Also, the loss of jobs and the shutting down of businesses will likely hit a lot of gamblers, online and land-based. So there must be a lot of gamblers right now who are quitting for the time being or are reducing gambling expenses. That is a luxury that might be hard to maintain during this crisis.

Covid-19 affects everything in the world. However, crypto gambling can receive some positive impact from this pandemic. As you can see, many people have to take the quarantine and they can not do anything but staying at home. And due to that fact, many people will try to find some sorts of entertainments which requires the internet. Online gaming, crypto-gambling, and TikTok, they all become more famous as the world keeps struggling with this disease. And from the report on the Internet, the study has found that more people are engaging cs-go while they have nothing to do.

Therefore, despite no evidence of an increasing number in crypto gambling (most of the platforms are decentralized), I do believe that gambling does earn many benefits from this quarantine. After all, the Internet is our savior

[traderethereum]

I think quarantine has affected all areas of people's lives, not just gambling.

I also saw statistics that online gambling made a lot of revenue. But it seems to me that online gambling was available to those who had money or who did not lose their jobs. The rest suspended this gambling activity.

But the quarantine is not affecting online gambling because that is out from real life.
Online gambling makes a lot of money from the people who move from traditional gambling or physical gambling to online gambling. Still, since on the internet, we know that there are online crypto gambling and online gambling using fiat money, we don't know which website has made the biggest money.
Some countries decide to reopen their country so that they can allow physical gambling to start their business and make money again.
I am not expecting the new case of Covid-19 if the physical casino reopens.

When everything is closed then we cant really deny that online services or platforms did really have took the advantage since physical places had been temporarily closed down. Its affecting any sector not really just gambling industry.We cant say precisely that they indeed make money but to presume out that gamblers will surely switch on to online from physical since it isnt available but now that casinos are starting to open its doors once again then we would really expect that those traditional casino players will surely go back on where they've been used to.

[Best Dreams]

As you know, Covid-19 caused serious economic problems in the whole world, and a lot of industries got affected even indirectly, simply because people may now have less money to spend.

Actually as time passed by there is a harder and harder effect over the weeks since you post this the effect really goes wider and all the businesses and establishments falls down.

Do you think crypto gambling is one of such industries? Gambling is an expensive form of entertainment, and I would assume people will be gambling much less if they have lost their jobs due to lockdown. Or maybe there are some factors that counter that - like maybe crypto gamblers have deep enough pockets to sit through this quarantine and keep gambling.

Gambling can be called luxury game and will only fulfilled if we have much money to play with and because Jobs are forbidden these days?only few gamblers can spend time and money to play.

What do you think? What is your experience in these times?

But i think since even whales or millionaires has no other place to play?then Gambling online is blooming and making way to growth.

Yeah there are millionaires of people who are now good gamblers and are getting so much from gambling with crypto will surely never stop gambling but they will find some new ways to get their target so better keep gambling online if covid19 made you stay home after closing all the casinos just relax and gamble online with well-trusted website's and also play with different games.

[MCobian]

In my opinion crypto gambling is increasingly interested in COVID19 situations, because addicted gamblers who normally play physical casinos
will move playing crypto gambling. So it's different from other businesses that crypto gambling has a positive impact with COVID19, because
crypto gambling done online. Which during COVID19, everyone must be at home to prevent the spread of the virus. So automatic activity
mostly done online, including crypto gambling.

Welp, that's the human nature they can't resist the urge to having someone to talk to or else they will go crazy. Lol

This pandemic just prove us that it can't stop people from having fun even though there are restrictions. This new normal might be a little tight to others but we'll still have to stick with it until the pandemic is over. Gamblers everywhere around the world are so eager to go to their favorite casino.
