Accesibility is one of the most common reason on why online gambling is having a progress or recognition due into this factor and you are right that not covid-19 is the reason even if this one
didnt happen we can still see the development since we are already on an high-tech era where someone could engage on gambling in the comfort of their own home
but still there are people whom do still consider nor prefer on playing into physical places or casinos which it isnt surprising.
There are different markets on different individuals whom do prefer on playing into these places.

^ But I think Covid19 contributes a lot to all online businesses and I think that is the reason also that cryptocurrencies increase too much the price lately.
There is no doubt the stat will increase because most people have stayed at home or most are having quarantine and there is nothing they can do to break boredom to watch videos, gambling, or everything online that they can enjoy. Definitely right, the easy accessibility makes become more popular online gambling businesses, and even until today, everything is almost online.

For countries whose gambling status is illegal, I think online gambling is quite popular there to avoid restriction from government regulations. There are quite a number of development on online gambling sites now and it was very much supported during covid19.

People couldn't go out and they were locked up for that long and I think some of them got bored and tried to gamble for fun. So far, the development of crypto gambling site has also increased, but not many have decentralized without KYC. I like the idea of ​​crypto gambling without requiring the customer to complete KYC upon withdrawal, but most of them do.

No doubt online gamblinng's gonna boom especially in dire situations like these. People will find a way to socialize, earn money, entertain themselves, or all three of them combined. At least much of this is available for access in online gambling sites, which of course is further improved by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which literally barred people from interacting with each other beyond the internet.

A few years ago when the pandemic is not yet coming to our economy or when the virus is not yet starting because physical gambling is the hype in which live poker, live tables are the ones who are in the mainstream but due to that pandemic is happening into us. Online gambling becomes more popular than live gambling and it is because of the pandemic in which people are limited to go outside and to lessen the mass gathering that will be brought by live gamblings.

This is the main reason why many gamblers are now playing online, though we all know that if Casinos are open again, gamblers will slowly go back to normal and play on casinos since we know the excitement we have on playing in casinos are literally different compare if you just play online, and in my place where gamblers are not that techy, they tend to play more on casinos to enjoy the machined games at their own hands.

And that's with the use of cryptocurrencies. No need for any credit or debit card to be attached and linked to an account into a casino where you're going to gamble.
That's truly an ease and you can try almost all of the crypto casinos that you can. I think there will be more of them to come since the crypto market has dropped a lot, it means that there will be more coins that will be taken upon buying that can be used to gamble.

If you think that people who are choosing online gambling just to make money since they have no money due to lockdown then its wrong!

Most people knows that gambling has risks and millions of people have it as habit like how people used to visit their social media, so those people need to do it some way that is why there is a spike in the lockdown time since they used online to satisfy their urge.

We never know what their reason is to gamble because I am sure they will not tell the truth. Maybe they will say that they want to feel like playing online gambling or maybe they really want to try to make money from online gambling. They can say anything they want because they decide by themselves without telling us.

Online gambling could be a new thing for offline gamblers because that will be a different experience for them while they can not go to the offline casino. Maybe they will moves to online gambling, especially if they only stay at home.

Some people who are gambling online have the habit of hiding their gambling activity to anyone because they don't feel safer if they share their winning or losing history or afraid of family member will react opposite to them. But who are gambling offline already known for their gambling habit and the reason for gambling it can be anything like money or just for the entertainment purposes.

They feel that if their family knows about their gambling activity, they cannot play gambling freely because their family will disturb their time in gambling. But that can make them addicted sooner or later as no one knows what they did in their room. If they become addicted to gambling and it is hard to tell other people about their addiction, that can become a nightmare to that person because they will not have a chance to solve the addiction to gambling.

Poker was the first form of online gambling and got a lot of attention 10 years ago just to eventually not be so important anymore. People tend to prefer live tournaments, the biggest money was always on the physical tables. But due to the pandemic this changed again last year.
I am always glad to see a hype in online gambling because it means that there will be more money coming in for the casinos. And if the casinos make more money they can give more money back to the gamblers through promotions. I probably got in the last 6-12 months more free bets and free games than I got over the last 3 years. I hope that this trend will continue next year so we can all profit from it.

This is probably going to continue for some time, the vaccination around the world is going incredibly slowly and despite the efforts of people and governments and the predictions given the truth is that most likely many people are going to need to spend this year in a lockdown as well and avoid going out as much as possible, which means that many people are going to try to find a way to entertain themselves and online gambling is going to be there to help them out with this.

We cannot blame anyone why vaccination is so slow since the demand is so high and manufacturers cannot produce more since many countries are really in need of this, but I believe we will see a mass vaccination once the 1st world countries will be done vaccinating their citizens since for now they are the one who's capable to do this since they have money and power.

Your far going off topic guys, this is gambling discussions but you are talking about vaccination .

Please find place to talk about this and not in the thread about gambling alone.

I disagree.

COVID-19 is the one who boost it up, because people have no choice but to stay at home to obey health protocols and to make sure they are safe from the virus, that is why they adapted online gambling, for example is Online Sabong here in our country where they would conduct s live cock fighting and people will put bet on whichever cock they like. Mode of payment is via GCASH (an online wallet) if I'm not mistaken.

In my country it is exactly the same, physical casinos were always popular. It was the pandemic that closed these casinos for half year. So the regulars who like gambling had to transition into the online world. Especially older people never tried online gambling before but really like it now, because they gamble from home from their couch while watching TV.  It is really hard to imagine how the life after the pandemic will look like. Who knows if all the gamblers will go back to their favourite casinos and quit online gambling again.

I agree. Especially because I can see some hints that regulations get more liberal over time, but maybe my opinionis a bit subjective. But actually I dont know if this is a "good" development or something like a big drug wave, where all the negative consequences are not clear to the society right now.

I have the same thoughts. There are also new gamblers during this pandemic who just got really bored because of lockdowns and quarantines that just want to have entertainment. Online Live cockfighting really got its trend during the pandemic and even now, more and more players where keep playing it because people love how easily it works.

It's not just the new gamblers who were born during the pandemic but there are also many new casinos and gambling platforms that were made.

gone are the days of cockfighting kristos, online cockfighting is prefered nowadays! 😄  did you guys tried martingale to this cockfighting? 😬 i've seen that cockfighti g site buf didnt try it, it needs referral before you could actually bet.

the ones who normally engage to cockfighting before pandemic, just travel miles to another town every weekend
 in order to bet but since gathering is forbidden, organizers found ways to make it online. thanks to covid they learned to gamble online not just watching porn.

The way people communicate or other things already change after the virus attack in almost all countries. Their activity out there already change, including the way they play gambling, and maybe right now, many gamblers are moving into online gambling that can help them spend their time at home. But still, they need to take care of themselves by spending the money. Otherwise, they will not have any chance to keep their money for another thing.

It's true.
I am not an online sports gambler before but just betting with friends physically and mostly when it's just the Finals game of the NBA.
But right now, I rarely miss a game to watch and put a bet on it.
Covid-19 did really boost everything in the online industry. From deliveries, online markets, gambling, etc...
It changed the way people spend their money and I think that is the only good thing that happened in this pandemic.
People start to learn new ways of making their life easier.

Gamblers who really aiming to continue playing adopts online gaming for sure, they don't have any other options since the virus really prevent people to go out of their house.

Those who wanted to play even the hardship in life really affects everyone, they are force to use this venue just to please thier lust.

Online gaming brings more people who feel the boresome inside thier house, easy access just by using your gadgets and the internet you can play as quick as you want.

There are two reasons for such increase in number of casino users and why gambling industry is witnessing sudden boom:

Firstly as stated above by other gamblers also that during this lockdown period people find alternative ways to utilise their time and they find crypto gambling an interesting option as it provides both entertainment and profits also sometimes.

Secondly cryptocurrencies like bitcoin were ruling the market where every other sector was badly hit and prices were rising constantly so people find gambling as sort of source to double their funds while playing and want to have some extra sort of income in this tough time.So it was new for them as not only casinos but exchange also witness increase user base overall.

When there are talks in the market people want to be part of it as man is social animal.Same happened with crypto casinos.

I disagree with this. I don't see that as a reason why online gambling becomes much more popular. Market situation at worst or not, gamblers are gamblers and they will gamble anytime they want.

In general, it doesn't mean that everyone shifts into crypto gambling. Online gambling means "online gambling", not crypto-gambling purely. There are lots of fiat online casinos and that's where people shifted most as not all are crypto-oriented.
