Reasons Why We Prefer Online Casinos to Land-based Casinos

[TravelMug]

It might be better if the OP put a poll in the beginning, at least we can vote why we like playing online as compare to traditional based casinos around.

But I will echo the same sentiments, its Accessibility, anytime we want to play regardless of location, our home or outside or we just want to pass some time and have fun at the same time. We can just used our mobile phone and hardware deposit and it's instant and then play, very convenient for the majority of us.

[Darker45]

For sure, accessibility is one big reason why I prefer online casino over brick-and-mortar casino. But not always. There are times when the vibe and environment of a brick-and-mortar casino is more preferable.

Another reason, of course, is comfort and convenience. You can play while lying on your bed, while eating breakfast, while watching Netflix, and so on.

Privacy is another. You can avoid the curious eyes of the public if you're playing in an online casino.

Another reason is that when I play in an online casino, I could have a break anytime. I can play for 20 minutes and then focus on something else and then resume playing. That's usually what I do when I need to finish a task. I can play for a while, shift to finishing a chore or running an errand, get back to playing, attend to another task, play again, and so on. I can't do this when I play in a brick-and-mortar casino.

I doubt any of the other matters except for accessibility. One can gamble online from home whenever he feels like. You can't always go to land based casino when you want to gamble, can you?  And it is all about being comfortable. There are people that feels more comfortable when gambling from home without being surrounded by people. And then there are people that feel more comfortable gambling on land based casinos surrounded by people they can socialize with.

And I don't think online casinos have higher win chances than that of land based casinos. Both are digital slots with almost no differences!

[Wexnident]

99% of the reason why I prefer online (not only in gambling but amongst anything else that can be done online really) is accessibility really. The rest can just be an add-on bonus. It's not that I hate going out or seeing people in the flesh, it's just more comfortable in my case. I'm also much free in terms of interacting with people and can do multiple things at once while gambling. All in all accessibility online just makes it really comfortable to play. Brick and mortar casinos just require that certain interaction from you that can be really exhausting at times.

I think one of the reasons why I prefer to gamble online is the fact that the most popular Slots are almost always occupied in a Brick n Mortar casino, so you have to wait for someone else to finish, before you can play that Slot. (Some will even leave their card in the Slot and then they will leave it there, until they get back.... causing a lot of frustration) 

When I play at Online casinos... my favorite Slots are available 24/7 and I can sit there for hours playing it, not having to feel guilty that I am hogging the Slot and that other people also have to get a chance playing it. 

[Oasisman]

Accessibility, convenience, and comfort are the top three reasons why someone will prefer online gambling than visiting land base casinos. However, when you're the type of person who loves to socialize, then I guess visiting land base casinos is inevitable for you.
I can see a disadvantage on the feature for online casinos to have different options to cash in. Because, It's easier for someone to be out of control and spend more unnecessarily in betting, due to the fact that you're one click away in cashing in another round of betting when you're frustrated with constant loss.

[makishart]

I will always prefer online based rather than land based. Accessibility will always become my main reason why i pick online rather than land based. it's caused by online based makes me feel easy to access anything anytime, anywhere.
it doesn't matter where im as long as i have my phone in my hand and i can access anything with it. I saw mostly of people above me are also seeing accessibility as their main reason too.

[Pierre 2]

I think main reason must be speed of accessibility. Its like if you fast internet it's very easy to gamble on online casinos. You don't need to spend that much effort just to use your money, or spend it, or just withdraw it. My another favourite thing about online casinos is reason they let you jump through geographical restrictions very easily. Especially crypto casinos are very awesome with this. You avoid many restrictions.

• Increased Chances of Winning

Online casinos have cheaper operating costs because they do not have the same overhead as brick and mortar casinos, such as rent and personnel. On the other hand, the Return To Player rates on online gambling slots is far greater than those on slot machines in traditional casinos. Online slots have an industry-standard return on investment (RTI) of 94% or higher, but stationary slot machines have an average return on investment of 70% to 90%. A UK gambling session at an online casino is significantly more advantageous when one’s primary concern is winning a reward.

You stated your points fine and well explained in all the points but I don't understand what you mean by online gambling increases chances of winning. If anyone can explain for me or op explain for me. I am asking because all my good winnings I made in gambling are from offline. Since I shifted totally to online, I haven't good any nice winning. I was contemplating if I should go back to offline casinos and see if I will start winning again.

I can understand what Op means, the difference in costs required between land-based casinos and online casinos is different so the implementation of the house edge is also different and the difference affects the player's chances of winning.
Online casinos apply a lower house edge so that players have a greater chance of winning, this is what I understand from what Op said.

Oh! I think I now understand what the OP mean. Thank you for explaining. The capital they use to pay staff, pay House rent, electricity rent and buy equipments. They will calculate them into their house edge which will reduce the chances of winning by gamblers. While online casino doesn't have those much expenses.

Aside from the OP's given reason, the comfort of home is the main reason why I personally prefer Online Casinos to Land-based Casinos.  Aside from that, the ability to turn down audio and sound effect is also another reason.  Nothing beats having complete control of the environment  .  Besides, I hate crowds, intentions, and observing eyes of other people.  In short, having privacy while playing is the best thing to have.  No one knows if I hit a big jackpot or if I lost a lot unlike in a physical Casino, when someone hits a jackpot a device triggers a sound that conveys someone hits a huge jackpot which then captures the attention of all people in the vicinity.

There's a reason we visit our favourite online casino more than the land-based casino, whether next door or a couple of blocks away. There is a reason we recommend our favourite online casinos to friends. In this short article, I will highlight some of the reasons why online casino games are becoming popular. Lastly, I hope users will also share their thoughts on this.

...
 

Laziness is the biggest reason for the most of us.

Getting dressed and going outside needs you to spend time on these too. Also when you get out of your home you don't do just gambling. You eat, drink, buy silly stuff... Going out is way costlier than staying home.

When you are home, you go to kitchen, get your favorite snacks and have fun in front of your computer. You can have your fun even naked. No need to do any preparations at all.

I choose online gambling because of the ease of access and because I can play gambling using many devices and anywhere. As long as I have access to the internet, it will make it easier for me to play in many casinos. This is what makes online gambling grow as it is today. People who couldn't go anywhere because of Covid-19 finally chose to use online gambling because they can play at home, in their rooms, using their cellphones, laptops, or computers.

As for everything else, I don't think it will be much different from a physical casino. So I guess it doesn't really matter to gamblers. And now that we are allowed to go everywhere, I think people are still playing online gambling, although some are still visiting physical casinos to see what the difference is now that Covid-19 has passed.

[Bananington]

Land based casino will still remain existing even if the online casino's seem to be becoming more of a choice for people who have played on them and appears to be a threat to the existence of Land based casino. For people who are not very good with technology or the internet and do not own cell phones with internet connectivity, and for people who enjoy the ambiance experienced in a Land based casino, Land based casino will be their preferred choice.

[Smartprofit]

Online casinos are very convenient for lazy people who like to lie on the couch drinking grog and betting at the casino. 

The Internet and virtual reality have made a wide variety of entertainment accessible to people.  And this is very good! 

However, real offline casinos, in my opinion, have very big advantages compared to online casinos. 

Off-line casinos are primarily valuable for their atmosphere.  Men in tailcoats, beautiful girls in evening dresses, imperturbable and dexterous croupiers, charming waitresses... All this reproduces the atmosphere of the James Bond movie "Casino Royale".

In an offline casino, you can imagine yourself as an aristocrat, and going to an offline casino is an exciting adventure!

[TheUltraElite]

Getting access to a casino from your bedroom is defenitely a good option for those who are privacy concerned added to it the chance to deposit with cryptocurrency as an icing on the cake.

Land based casinos should not be compared like that, those are different experience mainly attracting tourists and big names. More like a one night outing to a club and hence have their own space. Of course addictive gambling at either of these are bad and has the same outcome, but if done as a once per year thing, I think its worth the experience.

Some local casinos are often the haunts of many local gamblers. They would always go there for the ambience, the people and the locality. It becomes a personal preference only then.

[Plaguedeath]

I can't pick either online casino or land based casino because each of them are different.

Usually if I want to gamble with my friends, I will going to land based casinos since it's more exciting to see someone hit a jackpot on the machine slots and we can chill together talk about anything we want.

While if I want to gamble alone, I will choose online casino since it's easy to access and I can sit on my couch to enjoy every spin I click.

[Beparanf]

You forgot to mention security and privacy. This is the most important advantage of online casino to Land based casino because you don’t need to worry for your safety once you win big amount on online casino since no one knows your identity unless you broadcast it publicly while Land based casino will give you danger if ever thief is watching your win history on casino and steal your profit outside the casino and worst if your family become involved when this thief intrude your house for your money.

Alot of Peeps don't like getting stressed at all; you know how much time and energy it takes to sit under the roof of a casino-house ?? Sometimes, you've got some stuffs to run-up for yourself and also, a game to meet up on time; So you'd have to abandon whatever you had on your schedule and run to a casino shop, isn't that crazy?😂
Doing anything from the comfort of your home is something that anyone would prefer over the latter; infact, if it's possible to sit a-home and work in the government offices, then we'll have peeps doing that intermittently.
You see....ehhhhh.....the joy of being in a compacted edifice, with different profound gamblers --just like yourself, having multiple gazes at different stakes and ways another gambler would prefer to bet on the same game you have in mind, that'll be much of fun and encouragement.
The both have their impartations; depends on what you want.
