Devices used for Gambling

[Vaskiy]

Which device is much used for the purpose of gambling these days. Before covid-19 people kept moving without restrictions and the lockdown around the world have made lot of changes in everyone's life. As a result the usage of Mobile devices for the purpose of gambling have decreased and the usage of desktop and laptops have increased. I'm stating this based on friends around me and not on any data gathering. Sorry if things were wrong.

Through this thread lets share the device thats been used by you for the purpose of gambling. My 90% of gambling activities were on Mobile devices. This has given me lots and lots of memories. Whenever I pass some region I remember the loss and the place associated with it.

Aroud my region there is a beauty salon. Crossing that I remember I made an expensive haircut here, because I lost $2000 through gambling while waiting for a haircut. Another one is a hospital where I lost some big amount in the premises. Once lost while waiting for withdrawal from ATM. The biggest and the most remembered is my home where I lost that massive loan amount of about $9500. So, gambling has given me more memories.

I usually like to gamble on sports from my laptop. I can check out multiple sites for odds and compare them side by side easier on the laptop vs mobile. My main wallet is also only connected to my laptop and not my phone.

Maybe you have learned the lesson that you shouldn't gamble on a mobile device whenever you're out of your home. That's pushing you to gamble if you're in a line or waiting for the queue.
It's easier to navigate through desktop or laptop and browse unlike on mobile. But it's flexible when you're on mobile because even you're lying on the bed, you can gamble. I'm shifting from all of those wherever and whenever I want and based on what I feel and mood if I'm lazy, mobile.

Varies on situation though and we cant deny that mobile could really give out that accessibility when you are in transit or away from your pc and you do need to check out things
regarding into your bet.It isnt really that bad though but nothing beats out when you do make out bets or do gambling on a pc or desktop.User experience is totally different
specially with the screen size where you wont really be possibly able to make some miss clicks due to font size or buttons and also it is way more convenient but somehow
the cons on playing or make out bets is that you would only stay on a single place but if you are a person who do always travel then you wont have any options but to use mobile.

Where did you get this? It's kinda impossible that the usage of mobile devices recently was decreased, growth of gamblers using online gambling for me will also result of an increase in usage on mobile devices and desktops/laptops too, it's already given, either of these two, both increased.
Most of the people for sure these days have smartphones compare to desktops/laptops.

This data is the chart for usage for smartphones (overall, not only for gambling) but for this kind of data, we can't say that using mobile devices was decreased.

When in work or travelling= Desktop/PC

When you are in your home = Pc/Laptop

All of people would have the same impressions on choosing which device would be used when they do play gambling depending on what suits them best.

Just curious here. Do you gamble when you are at work?  If you are traveling, I think the most convenient way to use is your smartphone. But me, since I only gamble when I am at home, I use my laptop. I prefer using laptop as it has bigger screen as compared to if I use smartphone. These days, I think, a lot of gamblers are into smartphones, just for convenience. Because even if they are at home, they can bring their phone anywhere without much effort.

It is mentioned that the usage of Mobile Phone for the purpose of gambling could've got reduced. Because, earlier people used to travel to the office. Now most of the employees were given with work from home access. This has made the usage of desktop/laptops for gambling than the Mobile Phones which are much used when in travel.

I agree on your statement, there is overall increase in the usage of smartphones around the world.

I'm comfortable when I use a laptop or desktop, that's what I like when I'm in the right place. Yes, the screen size does matter and not all of us have good and clear eyesight it varies as we get older. Although you can zoom in and out the screen for the mobile device but for me, I only use it with the situation I've mentioned and I'm not always on the go. It really relies on how comfortable you are with any of those you prefer.

Bigger screen are much preferable by me since there are certain features nor sides cannot be access by mobile phones that's why I choose always to play on desktop when playing on casinos. But case will be different to on sports betting since phone is enough, we don't need any more clicks and we can bet using single click only.

i can very well agree here. more of as a desktop user  here as i like my screen big. but the new gen today i believe prefers their phone to be their side all the time. so no doubt most that are in the younger gen will prefer to use their phones.
i believe there is no stats yet having a comprehensive review regarding the use of these various devices when it comes to online gambling.

[Baofeng]

I'm more a laptop person when I'm gambling. I don't know I'm not comfortable with my phones, I guess I'm old school when doing my sports betting, I have multiple tabs open to check the odds and my bets and then opening other sports sites as well. Even when playing slots, I only used my laptops, and I'm thinking that I've never gamble using my smart phone in years. Probably I'm in the minority here.

Yup, the younger ones prefer to get onto their mobile phones and it's very accommodating to them wherever they are.

Well yes, there is none but maybe we'll get to see some stats and charts from studies who are into it or we there are already existing but we haven't seen it yet.

Most sites have terrible mobile interface and the inconvenience of a small screen when comparing odds is just something I try to avoid whenever possible. I use a laptop and compare odds across multiple betting websites before submitting them. I do sometimes use a mobile phone when on the go to check odds but I do usually place the bets on the laptop. I think this depends on the type of site though as I would only use the combination of the above if it was for sports betting. If I was looking to get a game of poker in it would most definitely have to be on my laptop.

You could take a look at the total downloads of apps that are on the app store and see how many downloads there were this is probably the only way to gauge how many people have downloaded and at least considered using the site with their phone. There will probably be private surveys done by betting companies to better tailor their experience to the user but I doubt they would publish this information for free.

The generation today is using phones all the time, they even have 2 to 3 phones with them while commuting the train. Even the homeless does have an iPhone to use just to browse the internet and just about everything on facebook.  There are reasons for using desktops and laptops but most of the people today somehow are comfortable using phones already even for gambling because its much convenient and you can bring it anywhere.

I used my laptop and then my mobile phone and Ipad for convenience sometimes. I guess it depends on what we are comfortable in the end. I see guys some play with their mobile phones specially slot games. But there are guys that I know who love to bet and play using their laptop.

So I guess to each it's own here, the same when doing our trading. So as long as you are having fun and getting the most benefits out of our gambling activity, it doesn't matter what devices we are going to used.

Laptop or computer is better than mobile devices since you can basically do more with it and it is more spacious compared to a phone, not to mention that you can't really trust the scan of your phone for threats compared to a laptop or computer but the best thing about mobile is that it is portable compared to both, so I guess that both have some benefits.

[Wexnident]

It'd probably be a laptop or a mobile phone. I myself use a desktop but fr, if you have the funds, even with a desktop, you'd honestly opt to use a laptop/mobile since it's a lot easier to bring with you around, plus, you can choose a location to play in that can probably soothe yourself. I haven't left much due to the lockdowns here and there, but there was an instance where I was able to leave and stay in a pretty good cafe for a few hours, so I started playing. Had some fun even though I lost.

[electronicash]

if there were just no phones today i will still be using the desktop and have a big screen all the time but if you keep monitors the market while also betting on sports and playing lottery or dice, it's the phone that gives you the best experience. the app of the casinos today is just making things easy for anyone to use their platform.
however, you wouldn't be using phones if you have experienced the fat finger mistake before. 

[Ulven]

Actually, I don't like using mobile devices to browse gambling sites and so forth. I prefer to use my computer because of the screen resolution and clicks. And I like to use the mobile phone only to chat.  ???I also believe that relying on a mobile device to access gambling sites greatly contributes to the growth of a player's addiction symptoms. If you rely too much on a smartphone to play slot games it will make you lose more so be careful!!!
