Online gambling becomes popular

[lienfaye]

Online gambling became a trend because since last there were a lot of us have been locked down in our homes. But look at that chart, when it has flattened it's because the restrictions have gone lower and everyone is starting to go back to their old lives at least for those countries that have beaten or almost beaten covid 19.

Thats true it didnt last long, its either some countries already beaten the virus or people are tempting to play because of financial problem wherein during that time most of us can only think of spending our money for essential things, rich people are exception to this. But no doubt online gambling became an alternative to gamblers who often go to physical casinos (and even not) to satisfy themselves. I think even everything turn back to normal, online casinos will remain popular because of the convenience of playing anywhere using our gadgets.

From the last year, we experience having pandemic. Most of us right now would like to play in real-life gambling, but most of them right now are temporary close. Still, with the use of the alternative of online gambling, some of us give satisfactions to ourselves to play gambling. Still, like real-life gambling, we exchange our money for a chip. We use the chips of their platform with the equivalent value of a stable value like usd. These stats came from the google trend because of my curiosity about how online gambling becomes more popular due to this pandemic.

Within the part of July, this is the part that covid spreading and base on their trend, this becomes part of most search because the gamblers would like to find a way to gamble.

After it becomes known the online gambling nowadays becomes popular and gather more up users to their platform.

I actually noticed this personally because those friend of mine that use to go in Live casino last year goes to my inbox and get interested about my gambling way when back years i encouraged them to try Crypto gambling but all they do is laugh at me 

But last yeay, i return the favor to them and laugh after giving them the sites i use to play with crypto and also let them create a wallet and sell them Crypto coins for them to start playing lol.

So at least not they are continuously asking me about crypto and some of them had already invested here.

Additional input about this statement, During the start of the pandemic, People still have funds from there savings/emergency funds that's why the graph shows many people play online gambling at initial phase of pandemic. Eventually, People starting to experience lack of funds due to low income incoming from there salary and finding job amidst pandemic was very hard that's why the graph already shows a pullback on numbers of searches since people already redirected there priorities instead of gambling.

You are right that in 2021 online gambling is indeed experiencing an increase in popularity, technology today is one of the reasons people want to bet online, in fact there are many other factors people want to be directly involved in playing online gambling.

One of them may be a factor:
• can play online at home, while gambling addicts have laptops and Android phones where people can deposit and play online.
• After all, nowadays there are many gambling sites that offer a variety of conveniences for addicts quickly and online.

And many other factors in this century as a whole online gambling is very popular both among young people and beyond.

Online gambling is really very popular because everyone can play it at home as they wish. Also if you want to play in crypto online casinos you can be sure that your personal information will remain as private as possible since cryptocurrencies use universal blockchain to transact this means they remain completely anonymous which is not the case with land based and online gambling venues. Crypto casinos do not track the activities of their customers and allow their transactions without any interference from regulators or any other government agency.

With the covid pandemic and most people are only at home they are finding ways to release their boredom. And some gambling games that are done outdoors like cockfighting also found a way to still continue their business despite this pandemic. Here in our country, online cockfighting is very popular now. It is done through a website and gamblers who are into this game should look for an agent that will allow them to bet on these websites. Cashouts are also processed by those agents and some commission goes to them which gave them to earn some money also during these hard times.

This is possible mate because there are no option to play in the last years pandemic issue, So people/gamblers plays via Online and the best option is Crypto gambling.

[vennali]

Crypto gambling has turned mainstream during the pandemic with most online casinos accepting crypto or have a way to facilitate crypto enthusiasts. I have been in the market for about 8 years and I can see the market thriving with almost infinite options now for gambling. I'd like for it to stay that way until the pandemic ends. Hopefully soon.

I wouldn't say that it is the best option since there are a lot of people that don't even know about crypto gambling but they are still gambling online. It's not crypto gambling that got more prominent but it's online gambling.

The pandemic gives a chance for online gambling to grows and since the last year, I think the number of people who visit online gambling has increased. That can increase more this year since we are still in the pandemic. We do not know when it will over. Even if the vaccine is now available in many countries, that does not mean people can go out for free because they still need to be careful and it is better to stay at home for more. So that can make not just online gambling but the other business can grow because people tend to use online to communicate or do their works and playing gambling.

In Italy, for example, there has been a significant increase in online gaming accounts during the pandemic period. The numbers record up to 200% more users for online slots and almost 3,500% more for online poker accounts. This means that the first lockdown period has accelerated the progressive shift of gaming to online, so much so that it is assumed that the related market is worth 40% of total revenue.
On the other hand, the period following the lockdown in March and April 2020 had shown a general increase in signs of unease in various forms. Among these in particular were conflicts and family violence. At the same time, there was an increase in requests for counseling from family members of those dependent on gambling.
I guess other countries have experienced similar online gambling growth alongside the same problems.

You're right our country have experienced similar online gambling growth. According to a survey conducted by Rakuten Insight in the Philippines, 75 percent of respondents stated playing online games as of March 2020. The majority of the respondents were highly engaged in online gaming, while only 24 percent weren't. It means last year when pandemic start (first lockdown period) a lot of people use their time in playing online games while staying at home.

It has happened and it is happening everywhere and, in a way, it is inevitable that is happening. It was not easy to be locked down, unable to go out and those who already had serious addictions found themselves very vulnerable to create a huge online gambling one. I know a guy who gambled away €25k in less than two months from march to april playing poker.....

This current situation we are in did really spark out even more when it comes to online things that we can possibly get involved since we do have the free time and the access which even kids or minors
would able to do so.

When it comes to numbers then it cant really be denied that theres really an increase to that but when the situation we are in would comes back to normal then those numbers will surely
decrease since people will go back into things that they had get used to before.

Its evident that online gambling business had boomed out on this pandemic situation because of this lock down situation or pandemic which do prohibits us those
gamblers to go outside physically.

And it is very easy for a newbie that don't understand crypto but is a sure gambler. He can buy with small amounts of crypto and have it deposited to the chosen casino that he wants.
That's the beauty of crypto gambling, the minimum amount is very little and adjustable but varies from casino to casino. There's also no need to verify identity if you're just a casual gambler.

I also see that the development of online gambling has increased since last year, especially since many traditional casinos have closed in 2020.
This is what triggers gamblers to finally choose to play online gambling. This year more increasing number of online gambling users, because
the pandemic has not ended, many people have visited online gambling sites. Moreover,  the current situation of many people is experiencing
a financial crisis, finally there are those who argue that online gambling can be a source of income. It's such a wrong thought, because after all
online gambling should be just entertainment. Because the more often we play online gambling, the greater our losses will be.

And it is very easy for a newbie that don't understand crypto but is a sure gambler. He can buy with small amounts of crypto and have it deposited to the chosen casino that he wants.

Opportunity not that much but to have fun instead just like what everyone else is saying.

Yes, there's no need to do that, as long as you are aiming to play then you can proceed and use this place.

For the chosen casinos that are not strict and don't ask for kyc until they have to.

I hope they can manage their money while still playing online gambling because they need to think about their lives and survive in this pandemic. No one knows when the pandemic is over and if they still use their money to playing gambling to make money, it will difficult to survive and buy the food. There is no guarantee to win from offline and online gambling, so they need to aware of that. The financial crisis is the next problem that people faced after the virus because they need to survive.

Thanks to this pandemic the people wanting to find some way to pass the time and they end up doing gambling. There's no suprises in the recent popularity of online gambling since as I said earlier, people need some distraction and online gambling for some is what their definition of distraction is.

[imstillthebest]

on a crypto gambling you are exchanging your money with cryptos and not with chips but on some crypto gambling sites they are supporting stable coins and this can work like a chip because both have stable value's .
online gambling is not my alternative but it was my main even if theres no covid .
gamblers that use to play online gambling for alternative will soon make it as their main because covid doesnt seem to end .

What can we do about it, I mean we need some form of distraction as you've said. That's the healthier option compared to not doing anything and become crazy because of being isolated in your house and having nothing to do, you will lose your mind just sitting in your house staring in the wall.
