What does it take for a game to "hook" people

[Smartvirus]

Bonuses do help but then, is it good for business? The bonuses to a large extent is a lose of income on the gambling platform and its even possible that once a gambler exhausts his or her registration bonus, they are most likely to abuse the system and switch to opening a fresh account. Hence, registration bonuses might not be the best of strategy to keep the gamblers but, the multiplier bonus is most likely to help. You know, haven't considered the reward on an odd and compared with some order platform, you would always prefer more money to just money. After all, money is why most persons gamble.

.. there are many other people that just prefer games in which there is no skill involved and they are relying 100% on their luck, they simply want to have some relaxation without having to think too much about what they are doing and by what I can see in physical casinos these are the most popular kind of games by far.

Yeah, there are.
I am personally not really good enough on luck, so only relying on luck as the main basis for winning gambling may be too risky.
Usually, we use Tacti more often and various considerations when playing gambling, in terms of some, and the rest is just a few who rely on luck. But it cannot be denied if there are indeed many people who might have a high fortune level so that they prefer to rely more on luck.

This may be one of the marketing strategies to attract many more users to signup and join the platform. however, there may be other T&C required to claim any welcome bonuses.
Sometimes, new or certain gambling sites use welcome bonuses in order to get more participants, for, we know that sometimes they cosndier that they can promote their platform by saying ".. has been more than ..... users trust registering in this site, and so many users have won the big bonuses and also jackpots.." and so on.
Yeah, it si no other, only one of the promotional strategies in which someday the bonus may be removed after reaching a certain amount.

Casinos have long learned how to deal with multi-registrations of bonus hunters and this does not pose any particular problem. In addition, the conditions under which you can cash out the bonus are very strict, in fact, until you fulfill all the requirements for receiving the bonus at your complete disposal, you will lose much more money.

Actually most of the bonuses offered by the casino right now are too good to be true, They required  shit tons of wagering requirements just to claim it that's why they can give big bonus. This is not very effective anymore since most user know how hard it s to claim and they just play directly on the game. Free bets and lottery giveaways are the best promotion in my opinion because every user has a chance to win it without any difficult requirements, They just need luck to win.

It depends on the preferences of the player, in my case that is what I prefer, games on which skill plays a part like poker, blackjack and sports bets are my favorites but just as there are people like me there are many other people that just prefer games in which there is no skill involved and they are relying 100% on their luck, they simply want to have some relaxation without having to think too much about what they are doing and by what I can see in physical casinos these are the most popular kind of games by far.

You're absolutely right mate, we as a gambler have a different preferences when it comes to the game that we would like to play. Some gambling games may sound boring to others but it is a full of entertainment to others. I really like to play card games like poker. But somehow answering the question of OP of what does it take for a game to "hook" people I guess the answer is simply provide the player a good service that would make them earning while playing, in gambling it is impossible to earn consecutively but at least a good service from the gambling business is such a good factor.

Right, but there are people still abusing giveaways and bonuses like No-Deposit bonuses and free spins because they just create accounts under special affiliates and get those perks.

Talking about the hook that attracts gamblers, it can vary based on the players but there are some common attributes that will help the casinos:

1- Fast deposits and Instant withdrawals with minimum fees or free withdrawals like sportsbet(.)io
2- Large number of promotions like stake
3- Fast support
4- Many coins supported maybe like wolf bet or bitsler

I guess casino games and rpg games have their different factprs for hooking people. I've played several RPG games and it seems that unique  game mechanics, design, grinding and luck maoes people being hooked to it. Most people spend their time playing games where they  can loot rare items while grinding. Games with ranking makes it competitive, all gamers are competitive only few play for fun. They want to be on top and they want to own items as exclusive and rare as it could be.

Yah, the way its designed and the atmosphere around are the ones hook players. As simple the game is, more try give a try. Here where emotionally one gets attached and pushes himself to try for an attempt. So the design and atmosphere around  plays a great role in hooking people. Other one would be, the bet amount. As much as the amount is very small, more would make a try. Here where more fall into.

Good selectios of those important factors that mostly hooked gamblers to continue playing.

Most of the time, those 4 are the reason why gamblers keep coming back and play, they feel the comfort and they enjoy the perks.

The quality of design commonly attracts gamers, plus the atmosphere where if comfort being felt around will surely hooked players to keep playing back and enjoy the platform.

Just take a look into those people who are really a fan of slots type of game which it turns out that these games are not really that attractive for most people just like me on where i dont really able to feel the thrill
or entertainment when we do play it but some people do really find it very interesting and entertaining and its true that we do really have our own preference when it comes to games being offered
and gambling businesses or sites would really be doing their best on hooking up people basing up into the games been offered and the bonuses which should really be that appealing
so that potential users would really be seeing it as a good one.

The fact that someone is winning many times in a row all the time does not mean anything. This happens simply due to randomness, some gamblers guess 10 times in a row the color that will appear in the roulette wheel, but this does not mean that they could predict it   

As for cockfighting and tips for them, I would stay away from that, in any case there is some unpleasant background and it is better to avoid meeting it.

Yeah, winning 6 or any number of bets in a row is as common and random as losing that many in a row. Maybe in sports betting, one can claim that they know something others don't if they win more bets and maintain a good record.

I wasn't aware of cockfighting until now and seems like a pretty cruel game to me from what I have learned by googling the term because I am against any sport where you let two animals fight just for fun and even place bets on it. I would also stay away from betting on such events.

[Betwrong]

Cockfighting isn't purely luck-based game. If you are winning constantly in it, that means you know something(and you said it yourself - you are getting tips on who will win), and it's not just luck that hits you.

Normally I would say "Keep it up!, but, to be honest, I don't like the situation you are currently in. They surely made you hooked, but be cautious: those guys don't give away money for nothing.

Yeah, but ... you know the case: he's definitely getting tips, and that's why he wins. As for the theory that among millions and millions of players there can be several winning all the time - I used to believe in the past that even in poker and sports betting this often the case, but then I changed my mind. In fact, it's very rare.

Exactly. I hope @goinmerry reads our posts.

There is such a widespread fraud (not only in gambling, but also in trading and in other areas where there is forecasting): a fraudster gives opposite clues to many players and continues to give them to those for whom they turned out to be winning, so out of 100 people (for example) there remain 3 who received 5 correct tips in a row. After that, the fraudster demands a payment for the next hint, or makes a hint that will somehow bring profit to the fraudster (for example, buying some shares if we are talking about trading).
Perhaps the OP is getting hints from such a scammer and I would advise him to be as careful as possible.

[RokokGudangGaram]

For me first of all is the gameplay, if you enjoy the gameplay of course there's no way you would be hooked for that particular game just like bomb sweeper like game, I don't know but I do like that game for unknown reason, probably because there's thrill and you are the one to choose your destiny? The next one of course is the prize, the higher the prize the more people will be hooked for that game and lastly promotion, this is the powerful one I think. Who doesn't like promotion? but of course with low wagering requirement.

I suppose that those bonuses are in fact good for the casino otherwise they will not give them, it is true that there are people that could try to abuse those bonuses especially in this market in which people do not want to identify themselves as they want to gamble in an anonymous way, but it is unlikely this is going to be a problem because many of those websites are going to use cookies and other technologies to keep track of who has used their services and if they see any suspicious activity then they are going to ban your account.

I remember well that gambling site may store different user IP on their site so that multiple account created by the same user will be tracked. This will prevent bonus hunter from abusing the bonus system by creating a new account every time the first bonus runs out although some of them will also use vpn to trick the site. Obviously it will cause all tracked account to be blocked and in my opinion the bonus system offered by gambling site be it registration bonuses or other bonuses is one of the thing that can attract enthusiast.

There will always be those who will try to take advantage of the system. Especially when it comes to free money. I'm sure casinos are well prepared for such situations and have well-developed methods of detecting abusers. It is very unlikely that cheaters will escape detection thanks to cookie tracking, IP logging, browser fingerprinting, and who knows what else.

The free trial or bonus given to beginners to play, are the other ones hooks people. Whom so ever it would be, would make a try for the first play unless and until he has heard of the websites faking or he is an experienced. So the new registered player is always given a chance to win on their first swing which in turn pulls them in mentally to try with case on the second swing or when the free amount gets over. Here one just has to decide if to move further or not after their free trial is over.

The bonuses that the casino gives are without a doubt one of the main attractions for many gamblers, however that only attracts the gambler to that specific casino but it doesn't tell us anything about why the person decided to gamble on the first place and why it keeps doing it, personally I think there are many reasons for this to happen, some people just like the excitement, some people want to get fun, some just want to make money while others are just curious about it and want to try it.

I suspected something like this from the very beginning. Only it's not OP, it's this guy, @goinmerry, who posted earlier in this thread:

~Like in my case, I don't like to bet on online cockfighting, trending gambling here in our region, but since luck is hitting me and able to get a good profit already, I still continue to gamble there up to date. I'm affiliated with a premium group there so we have a tip on who will win.

and after that he never showed up here.

Since we are talking about "What does it take for a game to "hook" people", I think posting about his progress would be relevant here. Now he is definitely "hooked", but it would be interesting to know how those guys made him believe that they are just helping him to earn money.

I am asking this because I do have some short of an answer for videogames and for massive multiplayer games and even for social network oriented games. Videogames require a great design, good difficulty grading, an story that engages the user, massive multiplayer and network oriented are a lot about the interactions and how varied and fun these are. However, for casino games, it would seem that these factors are not really the most important ones. You can see games with very basic graphics and design, simple in the options for the player and not that engaging yet they do "hook" people in them.
What do these games have to have for you?

The real reason in casino games that hook the people is the simpleness and the reward combination in game. For example, Dice is a very simple game, you just have to roll low or high but at the same time, within a second you get a chance to double your money, to get 100% profit in just a second. This is what hooks people, just see what kind of games are popular: Roulette, BlackJack, Dice, Bustabit, etc... All of them are easiest to play and all of them offer you the great rewards within a seconds.
But there also come games like Poker that hugely depend on your bluff skills and this bluff is what hooks people too (cheat, lies).
