Investing and the casino business.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Investing in a casino is profitable as you tried to explain but there are also the risky part to the sweet story behind it. Nothing is actually, very free on the internet.
These looks like buying merchant shares from a big company or bank. It is always profitable but, this happens only when the company is making profit. If they have an electrocution problem , fire outbreak, run bankrupt IMO -- except those companies kept a bill with the government for such exigencies -- your investment capital is lost for life.

If that's a case in banks which, sometimes collaborate with the government as well, how much more a gambling site on the web that might decide to fold up anytime, based on its predicaments? So I'll say it's very risky.

Don't put another problem in your head as there are a lot of good opportunities there aside from this.

If we are gamblers, then just enjoy being a gambler. Buying stocks is not as simple as we think especially if what we are talking about is investing in gambling site shares. This is not a simple investment and it will take several years before we can see a profit here - and that's even a question.

Remember what the pandemic brought to us? That's enough to know what business can survive in the worst situation.

Individuals collective summed up investment on casinos could have been more acceptable and reliable to them but the offer may be too small to their expectations, that's why they'd prefer reputable organizations and individuals that are financially bouyant enough to strick a business deal with them, bith the investment and casino business are good initiatives they could stream a good benefit of income flow but the capital intensive makes it more inaccessible for an average individual gamblers.

It's definitely a smart idea to invest on casinos' stocks, but I don't even know from where to start or if it's possible for me living outside the countries where those casinos are based and living in a country where gambling is forbidden.

That is why crypto casinos bankroll investments were so good for common investors like us. You could benefit from the profit made by casinos, while investing any amounts of money without any difficult or bureaucracy. Just by signing up on crypto casinos you had access to this feature already.

However, now casinos are self-sustainable and don't want borrowed funds from investors anymore.

AFAIK Bustadice and Bitvest are two reputable casinos in this forum that still offer bankroll investment, so if you really want to invest you can choose those casinos. Although it sound investing in casinos are very profitable since the house always win, but they have a rules about withdraw fees where you want to withdraw your money from the bankroll investment. It depends on each casinos, just like Bustadice who ask 2% of the total investment.

If you didn't hold for long and withdraw your investment before it reach at least 2% profit, you'll loss.

This is quite interesting. I have never thought about investing in casinos or online bookies. Well, now that the OP has brought it up, it is worth considering and looking into. However, I think not all gamblers would want to invest because the dynamics are different. Gambling brings quick/fast money and there is a thrill to it because it is short-termed unlike investing which is not quick money and it is long term so there is no pleasure. Also, gambling doesn't require a lot of money unlike investing.

Investing in casinos and sports betting can be a profitable deal for you if you invest and buy good stock from worthy casinos.

That is true you can earn profit from buying casino stocks but it still has its own risks though and even though it sounds simple I wouldn't easily recommend it to others.

I agree, back then bankroll investments were so common in crypto casinos and it's one of the better alternatives but now only a few casinos accept bankroll investments, and other casinos distribute a portion of their casino profits through their own tokens that can only be earned by playing in their site.

[Cling18]

To be honest, I also didn't know that we can invest in casino businesses. This sounds interesting, especially to those who want to maximize their earnings and profit. I think this is possible for those who have huge capital so it's a big challenge for small-time investors. We only have to choose highly reputable casinos.

[Invester]

It's the reason why casino business is a booming industry. Physical casinos took heavy hits during COVID-19. But online casinos took much of the market share and continued to flourish even up to now that physical casinos are back into business.

It's rare to find physical casinos filing for bankruptcy and closing its operations. There are more casino openings than casino closings. And the birth of the internet also gave birth to online casinos that are until now growing fast.

[Boristhecat]

It may be profitable but it's not a guarantee investing in casinos may look appealing but you need to do diligent research, checking the information on the internet and on how these casinos perform in the market just saw this now, investing in casinos is like gambling you need to invest what you can afford to lose, you need financial advice from a stockbroker and financial advisor although investing in the Cryptocurrency market is more volatile than casino investing

Great chart, thanks! I wrote about this right on the first page without even checking the charts of stock quotes - casinos have long become a traditional business and if the entire market falls, then their shares also fall. Now the whole market is in recession and it is more profitable to hold cash than stocks (or even short, but this is very dangerous since on average the market is always going up and you have to guess a good short point). Maybe after the end of the crisis it will be profitable to buy shares that are at the bottom.

Through July 2022, American gaming revenue hit $34.3 billion, a 15.5 percent rise from the same period in 2021, according to the American Gaming Association.

It can be a small minded thing to think that the only way to benefit from casinos and sports betting places is to gamble there. Investing in casinos and sports betting can be a profitable deal for you if you invest and buy good stock from worthy casinos.

Below is a list of Casino's to consider buying their stock, it is not a broad list, but just names some, please feel free to extend the list.

Unlike gambling you can find stocks much more reliable sources of income - provided you do a lot of research and gain a good understanding of how the underlying company really works. You definitely want to stick with casino or gambling companies based in places like the US or Europe, because anything connected with China will likely leave you penniless, as they are very lawless in many respects. There are quite a few worldwide gambling companies that are based in the UK which are surprisingly absent from your list. It definitely takes a degree of patience and timing, they skyrocketed during Covid lockdowns for example but since then have slumped.

[Finestream]

The thing is, it's not easy to invest in these entities unless you have millions to use as a capital for investment. They'd probably focus more on the big fishes to keep on funding their platform rather than small timers like us to give them a steady stream of funding. While on paper, with these numbers included, it is a no-brainer to invest on these platforms, in practice (especially crypto gambling platforms) your investment can only last for a few months before it gets used up by the casino as a payout for their winners.

Investing in casinos is not the same investing in crypto as you can always invest on the amount you can afford to lose. However, when it comes to casinos, I think that there is a desired initial amount to invest, and it’s a bigger amount of capital that any regular gambler will find it hard to earn. This is the reason why most of the casino investors are those high rollers and those who are big time businesses owners. Of course, since the capital requires huge amount, then expect that they will get huge returns too in the future.

I've heard it as well from the financial advisors that I've seen. They say that instead of being only a consumer and buyer of the goods, be their stock investor too. Nothing wrong with that and I find it wise and brilliant to have that eye opener for those that don't know that they can do better.
The same goes for gamblers, aside from being a gambler, if you think that the market for these casinos is high and they're going nowhere but only to the top then it's one of the best stocks to have it as part of your port.

[samuraijin]

I think it's really difficult to invest in a casino like some friends have said here because maybe we can get profits considering the casino income is also very large and has the potential to be a money machine, I haven't found a good site to invest in casino stocks, but this is a very good thread. interesting

It will take long before the crisis will end, however. and by the time it's almost over that we can see improvements, the stocks may probably be bought and accumulated by the wealthy investors wanting to dominate the industry.

Even when the stocks are crashing, the price still is very unaffordable for small investors. More people will prefer to store food in times of crisis than spend to get 100 MGM or WYNN stocks.

If the stock price is not expensive, I think many people will try to invest in a well-known and trusted casino because it means they can get passive income from casino income. They can play gambling from the income from that investment so they don't need to use their money. But during the current situation, people need to learn more about how much they will get if they buy their shares because all businesses are still trying to bounce back. But it can be tried, but be careful if you want to try it.

If the company opens a public offer, it might not be a bad investment to put a little cash into such shares if the casino firm is reputable. Just like you gamble with your extra income, I would only invest what I can comfortably lose without developing health problems because of worries and frustration. This is because the casino business is very risky especially if they are the crypto types. I might never invest heavily in a casino company except if I am part of the management team or if I have total confidence in the team.

Also, I might also consider investing in casino companies that are registered in my location. It might be more safer and convenient to invest in casino firms that are within your jurisdiction because making inputs in the decision-making process and claiming damages due to mismanagement would be easier. I might be wrong but I don't think any crypto casino firm has listed its shares in my country's stock exchange.  

As long as we try to invest money in a reputable casino company, I think we can hope to profit from that investment. However, it will not be a guarantee that the casino company will survive in the long term. But before you decide to invest anywhere, you should study it until you really understand how it works to make a profit.

It would be better if we invest in our location or country so that if something bad happens, we can get protection from the government. In addition, casino or investment companies already registered with the government will not try to do anything against the law.

its a stock market, it open for anyone to invest and regulated too. stock market however crashed deeper since yesterday.
but crypto market didn't. all the more reason to go for blockchain casinos. passive income from casino business is good as long as you have already gained back your capital particularly in crypto casino tokens.

[Mauser]

It's  not a bad idea to invest in stocks of gambling companies. In my opinion anybody who is looking to invest money should atleast put some of his funds into stocks. Historically stocks have outperformed most of the other asset classes. A well diversified portfolio should contain stocks, crypto currencies, commodities, real estate and bonds. Especially now with 2 digit inflation rates it becomes more important to look for high return investments. The problem with the list of companies you propose is that many of them operate physical casinos, which have a lot of areas that are part of their business model. All of the big casinos also operate hotels that have a lot of costs and could be affected harshly again by another covid wave. That's why I would prefer to invest only in online casinos without all the side business. Also gambling returns are very different from investing. With gambling we can get our winnings immediately, as for stocks it can take years for the stock price to rise.

The duration of the crisis will depend on the measures taken - maybe the governments will finally decide to "even out" everything with the help of inflation. And then, as a result of money printing, in a couple of years, all markets will formally come out of the crisis. And just in this scenario, it will be very unprofitable to keep the cash, and the worst stock will show growth.
But as you rightly noted, if we are talking about money "for food", then there is no difference where to invest it and how to store it - this is too little capital to feel the profit from investing it.

When we say benefit I think it won't only mean money but we can also say that we benefit in the casino because we enjoy it or we are having fun out of it. For those types of people, the only way for them to benefit in a casino is to play there but if you are a money/business minded person then you can think of many ways and one of it is investing in casino's stocks.

In some casinos, we can also invest on their bankroll but I think this one is less profitable. I've read negative feedbacks from users who did this and then most of the casinos who offer bankroll investing are shutting down. Thanks for the list anyway @OP but I think all of them are non crypto based. I think crypto casinos has more potential as it is still a new thing compared to fiat based casinos.
