Why offline casino go online? Thoughts?

[Oasisman]

Both offline and online casino business can be profitable or not, that exactly depends on the users that became interested in your service, and that also depends on how your service has been for the clients.
If your online crypto business took off, the I can say extending your business and try offline ones will be ideal for your business expansion. The same goes for offline casino operators.
No matter what, people would always visit physical casinos for fun and some people would gamble at the comfort of their home.

Do you think it's profitable for the casinos to go online at the moment since considering the amount of competition that there is and considering how many sites have shut down, even some old ones.

Whereas the traditional casinos continue to provide a sense of fun and adventure in the moment for most people. Therefore should the online casinos do extend their administration futher and go offline as well? What if most amazing crypto casinos went offline as well !? You think that would be a profitable industry?

Just to relate this with our current situation, it has been proven by most companies that their employees are more efficient in an online kind of setup. That is why, some companies have started to integrate this kind of idea, where they do not need to do onsite work- a WFH setup makes their job more efficient.

Same concept in gambling- it has been steadily proven that online gambling has been increasing its popularity due to the pandemic. Since lots of online gambling websites have resurfaced once again, this kind of trend may continue thereby slowly making physical casinos obsolete.

Simply because they don't want to become the next Nokia who thought they will be the best mobile company all-time and being stubborn with switching to Android device.

Just stay with the trend if you want keep making profits.

It seems to me that having a successful online casino makes no sense to open a land-based casino. To maintain a land-based casino you need to spend a lot more money and its profitability depends directly on the location and the financial situation of the local population. That's why I think it's better to invest in development of an existing online casino and continue to attract users.

So I came through the article concerning the fact that a lot of crypto casinos at the moment are going online. The offline casinos are moving towards the crypto trend. The following article states the following reasons that might be going:
1. Pandemic
2. Innovative industry, cryptocurrencies
3. Moving to New markets
4. Mobile friendly

What other choice they have when no customer visits their place? These people naturally will want to keep doing what they do best which is running a casino.  Some of them will fail and only then they will try the other options.

Let's have some empathy... Let's say me running an offline casino but I am barely covering my expenses now. However, before the pandemic I was making huge money. That means I exactly know how to run my business so the problem isn't about how I run my business. The problem simply is people don't want to leave their homes.

What am I going to do? Learn another profession after spending so many years as a casino owner? Of course not. I'll try the next best thing first which is running an online casino.

Pandemic is really the main reason for this, the other 3 reason that you mention is just a mere speculation because offline/physical Casino industry has a strong and active market during pre-pandemic while crypto is already available that time for so many years. This increase in volume of Online Casino just start during pandemic since Casino is a business, they will need to adopt on the current situation to still get profit but soon they will back to business when pandemic restrictions or the threat of the virus will be eliminated for all the gamblers. Many gamblers still preferred playing inside the Casino especially those old gamblers out there.

Definately but you know at the same time the online casinos kind of combines online gaming with the casinos, therefore it kinds of provides you with more options, making it more popular for the long term as well.

Plus the growth and the profits of most crypto casinos is much more than what an offline casino earns and at the same time I also think that you would be able to get license much easier, you can also get overseas customers as well therefore this is even more profitable for the business perse, isn't it ?

[ajochems]

Casino is the profitable one,if you create your own statics for it.In a casino their will be some competition on certain things.But only one can win and all the rest loss.The capacity to win the casino is very simple.You had a opinion to win ,but you need to start the game with the betting of money.Crypto casino was created to get a good huge amount of crypto betting,it’s easy to win easy here.

You answered your own questions! The customer base is expanding, many more people from all over the world will be able to play in your casino and leave money there! Getting a license for an online casino is not difficult, it's an investment for a casino and the casino gets a lot from it! First of all, many more users, and that leads to higher possible profits, isn't that all that is important actually?!

I don't know how much it can cost to maintain an offline casino?! Pay for a place, workers, and everything else in offline casinos vs online casinos where you pay a couple of moderators! Does anyone have data on how much it costs to run an offline casino and an online casino?! Somehow I'm sure running an offline casino is a lot more expensive, am I right?!

The reasons for an "offline" casino to go "online" is the same as any business and I don't think it's primarily pandemic related, I think the pandemic just pushed society in that direction.  Business go online because 1) online businesses typically have much lower costs and larger profit margins, 2) online businesses can reach more people and open your business up to new clients all over the world.  With crypto, it has enabled gambling businesses to go online much easier than before.  We've reached the point in our society where businesses basically have to be online now to survive.  If your business can't be found with a Google search, it's pretty hard for you to make it...

IMO, number 4 is the reason.

They want to add more their income casino, so they targeting not online-offline people but also online people from around the world + expanding the currency not only fiat like USD but they are adding cryptocurrency. More category target market for them is good sometimes you need to follow how the industry is on-going and we are live in 2000 century.

Everything is online now.

I think it's normal when an offline casino goes online. Since even if it is doing well, in any case, the future is online, plus even just for the sake of representing its brand, it needs to go online. The reverse direction of development is highly controversial. Offline requires much more regulation than online, so complicating your business so much and sending it to a deliberately tougher regulatory system looks doubtful.

I see no reason for online casinos go offline, because that would imply extra operational costs for the owners with physical structure, employees, maintenance and security. Since they can reach a wider public only by operating online, why would they spend more to reach only a localized public through a land based casino?

And if an amazing crypto casino decided to go offline, I suppose it would be more for status and power demonstration than anything else. Profitability stays in second plan on this case.

And if you add to this very stiff competition, which is currently observed in the gambling sphere of land-based casinos, the transition of the business from the online model to offline means guaranteed bankruptcy within a very short time. I do not think that the big monopolists of this sphere will give the development of a new competitor.

[darxiaomi]

Because they know they have to catch the new generation of gamblers.
The old ones keep going to the Casino but, when this ones dies?.

They know all the youth made your gamblings in Web so they dont have any choice to move to the WEB.

Simply as that. The pandemic only made things fast.

Doesnt matter whether they do extent out their market or whether they would really be switching off and take focus on a particular are because no one really knows on what up into their minds when it comes on

handling out their business which is totally unpredictable but those would really be anticipated and those reasons above are actually valid specially on expanding out business via embracing on whats the current
trend and interest that circles around the market.It wont really be that simple though since it would consume out some resources or funds but we know that its always been part of a business.

Possible reason i do think off on why offline goes online.

1. Expanding business
2. Offline doesnt generate that much revenue

Or simply they do see that online casinos are much more getting attraction but we could say that if a casino is indeed profitable
then they wont really be planning on going through online.

People like something different and at this time, people want digital things than analog. Online casino is available at anywhere and it saves time and money. Easy interface and user friendly system are also reason behind choosing online casino than offline casino. In online casino, owner doesn't need to pay extra cost like rental cost, more employees, electricity and others bills.

[rhomelmabini]

If they can cater to do both, then why not? Of course it's an additional cost to labor but if people do tend to like it then it's probably a profitable in its sense because they just expand their operation. I think traditional can still go their way as it has the experience an online casino can't give so do the online one.

No, it's all about the simple access from anywhere. Online casinos will not go physical. It's going to be the other way round up until online casinos take over 90% of the industry. It's not about the pandemics, but about bans and limits and the requirements to enter a physical casino. For instance, I live in the suburbs. To go to a casino in town I'd need to drive 30 min. I'd have to pay for parking, wouldn't be able to drink because I'd have to drive home at night in the cold- no fun. In an online casino, I can play in my underwear, while drinking as much as I can. If I get wasted I can simply go to bed within seconds. I'm sure there's many people like me who come from work after a long day and just want to play a few rounds of poker, have a beer and go to bed.

As long there's internet then you could really access those sites without any problems or just few simple clicks and this is something that businesses wont really miss
out and as long they do know that they could market out globally then having online platform would be the key or the way on getting that chance but of course it wont
really be meaning out to be successful on guaranteed manner since we know that competition is really high on this aspect but its not really bad to have some
considerations.
