Online gambling becomes popular

[Fatunad]

Axie Infinity is something that is completely out of context, and yes... it's possible to earn a lot of money if the person is able to make a good initial investment and has plenty of time left to play.

Whats  the connection of Axie infinity into this topic? This isnt something that could really be considered to be a gambling but rather an investment in form of play to earn.
It shouldnt really be included on the comparison since both are different things and going back into the topic about online gambling becomes popular then its just
normal for the trend to continue because we are already on digital age and accessibility is already in a few clicks by our hands which means it wont really be
that hard to gamble.

You got a point.

But I think what he's trying to say was since we've got no choice but online gambling sites, people started to adapt it. Government even allowed it because it could lessen the people that could go outside just to play in the land based casino because way back 2020, COVID-19 was too wild compare to now that it somehow lessens because the vaccine was already released in public.

At some countries, land based casinos already started to operate but there are more countries where they still prohibit land based casinos to operate, therefore people still appreciate online gambling sites.

And now with another  covid variant (delta) the chance that the spread is much quicker,

We would expect more gamblers who learned how to use online  platforms to continue using it, they might concern about this new virus to spread with their love ones,.

from where am I, offshore casinos are still not allowed to run forcing those owners to open up their business online since they already have patrons who keep asking, they are now adopting and moving forward to continue.

This is a very controversial statement. I think that if you compare any average casino with any of the best online casinos, the comparison will not be in favor of the latter. An offline casino is always an atmosphere of a holiday of adventure and a lot of emotions from other people, and an offline casino is just another evening in front of the computer.

If we compare online gambling with just being locked up because of a lockdown, then of course it will be a very exciting opportunity (and by the way, usually in online casinos there are chats where you can even get a little human communication and emotions). But I think any person who has visited an offline casino at least once will say that when compared to an online casino, an offline casino always guarantees a lot more emotions and pleasure.

this is true
can't compare both experiences, there are things on the physical world that we won't be able to have on digital
and the opposite also applies

Online gambling have gained widespread popularity during the covid-19 lock down players could no longer visit casino houses because restrictions and the only way to gamble was to do that online, the coming of cryptocurrency have given online gambling some credibility and have aided it activities giving easy accessibility to gambler.

Yes, you're right, but in some cases of countries with high inflation people access casinos with the intention of seeing it as a job, that is, at the cost of whatever they are doing their best to generate QEU income, they are superior to those of A normal salary in your country.

In Venezuela I know many friends who enter the casinos with the intention of having those touches of luck to be able to withdraw money and solve expenses, as well as they also play other things, such as the game of tibia, Axie Infinity for those who have more money, I think that those needs is that the gambling and sports betting have become very popular, also the condition of pandemic help.

Man, invading casinos and gamble to earn money to pay bills and necessary expenses is the most riskiest thing I've ever heard. I just can't imagine how these people are considering gambling as a regular job. Luck doesn't seem to work every single time.
The same thing goes to the online gambling websites. I have heard some stories about people who are actually earning a living through online casinos.

On the other hand Axie Infinity isn't a form of online gambling, literally. It's more of an investment. The only risk involved is when the game economy crashes. But as long as the game economy stays healthy, there's no way you'll gonna lose your money, instead your invested capital will multiply a hundred or thousand times.

Another good example is a massage parlor and a porn site 
Although in the (not close) perspective, the differences will seriously diminish and may someday become minimal.
Facebook’s future lies in virtual ‘Metaverse’, Mark Zuckerberg says - quite an interesting article showing the plans of global corporations to blur the distinction between online and offline. From the point of view of technical capabilities, the development of this area is completely satisfactory to me.

Yes, it really is something very risky, but there are many people who previously worked in companies and others had prosperous businesses, but the government system has been so radical that many companies and businesses have had to close due to not being able to support themselves, people for They find desperation in Google that this is an option to make money, and based on the fact that Venezuela the minimum salary is around $ 4- $ 5 it is much better to take this type of risk.

For the most daring they take these platforms as jobs, and traditional casinos are prohibited, the only option there is through online sites, among them casinos shine, and games like tibia and axie infinity, in fact a large part of the population in Caracas the Capital lives off these games.

It is much better to dedicate yourself to playing all day because you will earn more than working in a company where there are more responsibilities and you will be paid less having the pressure that at any time you can be fired for not having economic stability in the company. For this reason, I think if the casino platforms focused on South America with more aggressive advertising, they would have very good and constant customers, especially for Venezuela and Colombia, which have very complete players.

Actually in pandemic situation most of the people without jobs passing out their days with passive income but they find a popular and interesting site with gambling but teenager also have addicted in gambling just a dangerous for future world.

Yea that sucks, gambling can make desperate people become delusional by the train of thoughts by thinking they'll be able to make enough and keep on making enough,
Might work in short term for some but i'm sure that it won't work for everyone.

Considering 1% House edge.
1000 People started gambling with the mentality above.

Our of those 490 are most likely going to lose their deposit, this number can reduce based on how far they went.

Offline casinos are certainly interesting, you can meet new people who might be your friends or girlfriends.  but in this pandemic period, people are afraid to be there, this virus is very contagious, it is much better to play online gambling during this pandemic while hoping this will all end.

I think you're right - I'd be very cautious due to Covid and especially of STDs, btw do you know how any Offline casinos have under 5% House edge?
Btw you can go to the park, to the lake, museums, gamers gatherings, etc. Making contacts in casinos mostly with addicted gamblers is over my league tbh, gl to you for the meme, you made my day.

Not every person is afraid of covid, some even doubt its existence (I am not like that). Even in the midst of the epidemic, the underground clubs were overcrowded. And if you remember such news, then in the USA there were covid parties (mainly among young people) when people specifically tried to get infected with covid in order to get sick with it.

Although the people of the world are under house arrest due to the epidemic, they are involved in various online based activities. They're trying to adjust themselves with various gaming, betting and gambling site with incoming but they don't know they are becoming a real gambler.

It's not house arrest, staying at home is the key to be protected and won't be a potential carrier. It's done by everyone to stay safe and we can't do anything with that and even you have received full shots of the vaccine, it's still recommended to stay at home.
And this isn't just an epidemic but a global problem for this disease and called a pandemic. As everyone stayed at home for long and will keep staying, it is true that it's an adjustment that everyone has to be done because we don't know how long this pandemic will stay and and when it will end.

People are encouraged to stay at home but with the existence of the vaccine, we are getting back to normal again. Online gambling is a really good option for people who just want to stay at home while gambling, but it's still more fun if you go to a casino so you can socialize with friends and people you may meet in the casino, the main point of gambling is to really be entertain, so you have to see for the best entertainment for the value of your money.

Also, spending a lot of time at home due to lockdown does not guarantee they will become gambling addicts. With expenses that are very considered in this era of crisis, it is very possible that they will only gamble according to their abilities, by not forcing them to continue gambling, it will not lead them to become addicts. Also, in the online world it is not only about developing gambling, at least with them at home and doing activities online, then of course the online world will be increasingly popular in many sectors and not only about gambling.

Or you can stop playing gambling in this pandemic because it is better to save money for our needs. If you can still work and get paid, that will not be a problem. But if you get fired or reduce employees from your office, that will be a problem because you will not get paid.

Online gambling can be a solution for people who still want to continue playing gambling and move from offline gambling to online gambling. It makes online gambling become popular than a few years ago.

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.

Exactly! Ever since covid19 made people remain indoor and movements was restricted,people are used to Using their phones to do what ever they like,going to a bet hall where people are crowded seems to be achaic now.Online gambling has become the trending means of gambling now also because,it gives one confidentiality to ones gambling activity.

That's value added, gambling can be done discreetly now if you don't want someone to know about your gambling activities it's easier doing that with online platforms. You can play without any noticed from anyone around you, unlike with physical gambling chance that someone who knows you will caught you playing inside the casino house without your notice.

Online gaming gives freedom to those who wanted to play anonymously, bringing more gamblers online and surely enjoying it.

It became popular with the status of what we've been through.

Someone who wants to stay safe at home, now got a choice to gamble through their homes. No need to catch the possibility of getting the virus outside in the casino.

It's more enjoyable and relaxing while at home.

These days, as the younger generation is exposed to digital gadgets, at some point, parents don't know anymore about what their kids are doing. So you are just trusting your kids to do the right thing, and remember what has been instilled to them. Some may be influenced by their peers also. So you can't absolutely track your kid's activities unless, you are very close to him/her that he/she is very open to discuss anything.

The only thing we can do is to explain to  them why they are not mature enough to take decisions with their money and they need to stay away from gambling at this moment and hope that they understand it and listen to us, after all we know that even if we give them good advice they can listen to their peers and start doing stuff which is not appropriate for their age, however if you have a good relationship with your kid this should not really be a problem.

The challenges of parenting have always been challenging, but the widespread adoption of smartphones and the rise of social media have added to the difficulty.
How much screen time should parents allow their kids? And how long before it interferes with children's normal development? And what is normal in today's world anyway?

I recently read an article by Pew Research Center stating that two-thirds of parents in the U.S. say parenting is harder today than it was 20 years ago, with many citing technologies, like social media or smartphones, as a reason. As parents, however, I believe that should not be an excuse. It is our duty to stay up to date on our kids' activities, and we should actively participate in their interests.

The issue is that parents mostly because of their jobs do not have the time to watch their kids as close as they could in the past, I really think that when it comes to smartphones, computers and video games consoles some limits must be set, the amount of time they are allowed to use those devices is not important what matters is that there is a limit as it is not rare for kids today to spend most of their time in front of one of those 3 devices.
