Online casino searches at "all time high" during lockdown

[coinfinger]

It's expected, people are on lockdown but now there are easing in many casinos, we will still have a lot of people going for online casinos because there are still no vaccine and they don't want to compromise their safety, it's great if you are an online casino operator because many people are going for online casinos.

It is expected at some levels but what I am seeing last week really made me shocked. It seems people have started adopting bitcoins and other cryptos just for the reason of lockdown and eventually they also searching for gambling entertainment. Houses with dedicated android and IOS app are getting crazy level of traffic after the pandemic restrictions imposed world wide. I just wanted to study on VPN subscription peaks but not available as people might be buying VPN already from (free)VPN, it seems.

it is natural that in these conditions, the demand for online casinos has grown. And of course, the attendance of crypto casinos should also have increased.

Yes, it seems until we are going to have vaccine for covid19, I guess these scenarios keep going up which will definitely scale some unforgettable peaks. I guess most gambling houses are adjusting/adding servers to make sure their remaining accessible even with multi-fold access requests.

Search interest in online casinos has hit an all-time high in the UK since lockdown began, data show.

Google Trends shows gambling has moved online amid the closure of physical gambling venues and cancellation of sports events.

Ref: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-52633355

Well it wasn't unprecedented. Regular gamblers had to find a way to play while offline casinos are barred worldwide. Even though the overall volume has dropped, the interest about online gambling is on the ride.

I am just wondering if crypto casinos are benefiting from this! It's a great chance for crypto casinos to fetch a new customer base as well as cryptos should see new adoption. Could be a win-win situation for us!

Ofcourse the crypto casinos would be benefited from the same .
The users are most likely worried about their privacy , therefore cryptocurrencies are actually something that they would like to invest in for the Gambling . At the same time I have noticed that :
Crypo Gambling is more diverse
They have actually a lot of options out there and I do think it is amazing to see people actually coming out to experience this.
I have seen such wonderful games , with a whole different concept , whereas the traditional Gambling is actually limited in most cities.
We have also seen some newbies coming out to just buy some Bitcoins for the sake of Gambling. To sum up they are providing:
More Diversification
Privacy
Transparent
No taxation in many countries

People need to "let off steam" from time to time. Most often this is done by playing sports or watching sports games. Gambling is also a great way to test your nerves and luck.
In the conditions of self-isolation, gambling in online casinos has remained almost the only opportunity to "blow off steam". Therefore, it is natural that in these conditions, the demand for online casinos has grown. And of course, the attendance of crypto casinos should also have increased.

Being able to play at the same may have a chance to gain profit at the comfort of our home is the new norm, though profit is not guaranteed, it's just people will keep trying it to put some fun for themselves at the same time trying their luck in gambling. During lockdown I was able to try different gambling sites that I'd never been before when I have a regular 8 hr job, so  many will seek more ways to do things online even in gambling.

If you are a gambler in real life then its no surprise that you will seek for it even on online specially now that we are on a lockdown or quarantine period.
Its up to a person if he would tend to do it since accessibility is easy as breeze as long you do have internet then you can able to access it without
any problems.No one can stop us on what are the things we should gonna do.Those services/platforms do exist, its our own will
if we do gamble.

It's expected, people are on lockdown but now there are easing in many casinos, we will still have a lot of people going for online casinos because there are still no vaccine and they don't want to compromise their safety, it's great if you are an online casino operator because many people are going for online casinos.

Based from the news that's there, some of the casinos in certain parts of the world will start to get back in operations. Yes, they're be coming back again and it's not just a plan but an execution despite there is a pandemic crisis.
As you say, the search for online casinos will continue because there's a lot of gamblers that don't want to compromise themselves because they want to gamble. If there's an alternative, they should go online gambling.

They are already opening their doors but as expected they would need to comply into the new normal on where is anyone been following on.
For physical type of gamblers then this one is a good news but i do still doubt on going outside or these places yet you know the risk
is still high as long the vaccine isnt still available yet.

I have always played in casinos for the purpose of entertaining myself and having a good time. Therefore, I am thinking from this position. People stay at home and get bored. They also need to cheer themselves up. Of course, there are also those people who play in casinos only for the purpose of earning money. And all of them increase the number of visits to online casinos.

Online casino owners want their sites to work steadily and cope with the increased number of visitors. Therefore, it is natural that they will work to increase the bandwidth of servers.
This is much easier to do than an offline casino. It is not so easy to increase the size of halls.

I think this is not a very abnormal thing.  Especially during the quarantine period, not only gambler people but also people who were bored and wanted to spend time wanted to access such sites.  In addition, during this process, people preferred to gamble online and learned that they can actually gamble at home and go to casinos to gamble.  In this case, it will surely make such sites more popular and cause casinos to reach less customer potential.

Besides of the site become popular, the number of the gambler will also increase, and maybe that can lead many addicting gamblers in the future if people can not hold themselves not to play gambling in all day long. With the condition now which new normal applied in many countries, that will make people go out to search for a new job, and we hope that their time to play gambling will reduce. But the online gambling website will have many new people who will visit on that site because they already found a way to play gambling online.

But I think this sudden attention for online gambling by new gamblers won't last that much because knowing how long this quarantine will take, some gamblers will sooner understand that they should spend their money wisely. During the first phase of lockdown, it isn't surprising because they are bored but after some more months without a stable job, they will need to allocate their funds for daily expenses so only gamblers with the extra fund can still gamble even after months of quarantine.

And once land-based casino starts reopening I think some gamblers will eventually shift from online going back to physical casinos.

We cannot say that because most gamblers here are the ones who checked "what is gambling" when they first come across it. I mean gambling is attractive enough which might enforce people to continue gambling. So, people my continue gambling any any share their experience with friends and family which again resulting in more people to search about gambling and joining into gambling. This is how gambling industry itself surviving for centuries.

I do more number of gambler online on particular casino when they do share about big winning on this forum. Most gamblers keep attempting to copy such a big win or just remembering their past reasonable winning moments and then want to repeat similar to that. So, I guess this current pandemic and its lockdown might be giving long lasting consequences to gambling industry positively.

They have to. Gamblers that will violate the new rules during this new normal season won't be tolerated. Whether I'm also a physical gambler guy, I will not take risk to go outside. I'm strong and good but this virus is undetected if you're too careless dealing with people in your surroundings.
Well, at least for those gamblers that's waiting for this moment, their prayers has been heard.

I'm not sure about this, this plague has made it hard for us to go back to the pattern of life before the epidemic spread.  people who used to play offline casinos will definitely think hard to go back to playing there when in the last few weeks they played online casinos, gamblers will definitely not be comfortable wearing masks or other personal protective equipment in offline casinos because it will definitely interfere with their comfort..  Online casinos now offer good security, games, and concepts.  gamblers who have just started playing online casino will surely be addicted..

Does it mean that many people are playing gambling during the lockdown? it makes sense when we are so bored doing nothing and having the limited condition in our real-life because of lockdown. Playing gambling may be a good choice. Every player may have a different time to get the chance or the team. If they think that playing gambling is so enjoyable, moreover we can get more profits from them. How do you think? personally I will also get in touch with the casino. However, I don't know if it reaches the ATH of casino reports during this lockdown pandemic.

The only one who can answer that is the online casino itself if they can able to provide stats.

But pointing to the subject of the thread, it was in England so maybe we can assume that more people gambled there during the lockdown.

Here in our country, I also noticed an increase activity of online gambling like online "sabong" (cockfighting), online horse racing, online dice, etc. but it doesn't mean the numbers are greatly increased.

I think crypto casinos are taking advantage of the opportunity to offer a variety of games of chance and thus win more players now that the Land Casinos niche is working at limited capacity. CoinMarketcap has various online casino ads, I was surprised to see an ad on bplay.org that has a strategic alliance with Binance for its users to connect from their Binance account.
You can play DICE, Black Jack, Roulette, Texas Hold'em, Baccarat and Video Poker.
It is what we are seeing that there is a great demand and together with the growth of online casinos they are looking for a way to satisfy the players.

Just what a business entity would do whenever they see an opportunity. Restrictions are being lifted slowly all around the world but until we have the vaccine, the world will never be the same as before. People will have learn to live in a new way with things like social distancing and other hygiene parameters. So not just casinos, but all online businesses are seeing a great surge in volumes. Casinos are no exception.

It's a great time for online casinos to increase their business by attracting new players to their platform. Hope they can get the most out of it and promote crypto at the same time in the market which may help to increase mass adoption.

With this, I am locking the topic.
