Reasons Why We Prefer Online Casinos to Land-based Casinos

[lionheart78]

The argument is maybe biased and there should be no comparison between visiting online casinos mostly compare to land-based casinos.

We can't remove the comparison between the two since the thread is about reasons of why other people prefer online casino over land based casino.

Not just accessibility but land-based casinos are not something we can see around like grocery, pet shops, barber shops, etc.

This is the same reason why more people prefer online casinos.  Though we might find land-based casinos interesting due to different emotional and environmental experiences the rarity and distance of it from home discourage us (who love to gamble asap)from traveling going to the land-based casino.

If any case that I have the opportunity to visit land-based casinos, I would definitely like to always try them. We should not just limit our gambling experience to online gambling. For me, it's boring to just stay in the house. Try also to get some taste of social interaction.

Not for me, I always find the comfort of home beautiful and I find loud noise and music irritating.  This means it is all in the players' preference.

Yes, there are a lot of us here prefer playing online casinos for various reasons. However, I don't agree on "Increased Chances of Winning", Casino's can set the RTP of any slots machines and the chances will be the same as land based casinos.

For me though, even before joining crypto space and betting online, I do go to landbase so from time to time. After the casinos started to open up in our country, I do visit my favorite casino and play.

Well to me, I agree about it because in online crypto casinos we have this provably fair system and we can verify each of our rolls if we are doubting if the game is fair or not but there is no such thing as that in offline casinos. We don't know if what is inside them but it will still boil down to our luck.

No matter how rigged the game or the machine are but if our luck strikes then it is always possible for us to win on them. Good for you that you are dual in terms of casino choices while most of us here are only single. Like for me I only stick on online casinos because this is where im comfortable with because im also a shy type of person.

The access to the online casinos is simple and easy while the local casinos are only limited to some people, i mean there is not physical casinos everywhere. Only the big cities has them, so, not all of us have the option to decide, our only option are online casinos.

I have been in tons of online casinos, but in real ones just like 5 times, and the experience in the real ones is totally different, real casinos are have crazy ambient.

Because indeed we also have new things and more sensations when we are in a real casino but actually in this case it may return to everyone's point of view. for people who have never been to a casino, online casinos are something that is very good because the sensations given by them have never felt different from people who have felt the sensation.
But on the other hand, when our access is quite limited at land casinos, the best choice is online.

Another premium reason why most people prefer online casinos to land casinos Is what I will call "Referral bonus", as this is one feature online casinos have that land don't, whereby you get paid a commission whenever the person you referred to a casino deposit funds and plays a game, whether he or she wins or not, which has been an additional source of income to many who grabbed into this oppotunity promoting a casino, as they can use this extra funds can be use to either gamble or withdraw for use

Only a few does really have that kind of interest when it comes to referral bonus including me which im not really that good when it comes on inviting or convincing other people to sign up under my link but
there are eventually people who do really get some users on using up this method and getting some considerable bonuses in regarding to that.Yes, its one of the perks and advantage on online casinos
which you cant really be able to get on playing on a land based.The main reason on why i do play on online casinos is that i dont really have any problems when it comes to deposit options.
Once you do have some crypto coins or tokens then you could deposit right away without minding about those kyc and verification.

I have the same case. I don't really shine or have the initiative inviting people since I don't have a space or platform to share at and I think it's a waste of time for me since whenever I invited on my socials, I would be lucky enough to get at most 1 referral in it. Though I still prefer online casino rather than land based casino because of my current situation. Don't get me wrong, I still like land based casino since there are still some perks on it but I like the accessibility that online casino has.

Most of the casinos now are requiring KYC on different scenarios, Even if you play with crypto it doesn't mean that you are safe from KYC or verification. It's a luxury now to have 100% no KYC on a casino.

This is because our adrenaline is more pumped when we are in a land-based casino.
Actually this is a natural thing because when we are online all we see is a screen that visualizes gambling but when we are in a land-based casino it will obviously be a little different because indeed what we feel and see is real and we can even feel the sensation of holding chips which are actually very different from seeing the balance that we deposit at the online casino.

Majority or most of online casinos are regulated or licensed which does means that they do really have the full rights on asking for some KYC if they did notice something on your betting style or activity
on which you should really prepare yourself for possible verification to be asked.Its true that not all does have the interest on having that referral thing which we could really play without needing those bonuses.
For physical casinos then the best thing i could say about that is that you could really be having social interactions with other  gamblers around plus the ambiance which you cant really
able to experience when you do play online or sitting in front of your computer.

Or is your country allowed online gambling and just ban land based casino?

I think the gambling regulation there targets the gambling provider and not the users.

There are online casinos that accept users from countries where online gambling is illegal.

That's why you can see, for example, in Islam countries, where gambling is illegal but there are users here who can access online gambling sites because the gambling provider itself allows these people to use the site as it was already outside the Muslim culture jurisdiction.

We are giving base on assumption, because it might be true or correct or it might be incorrect, because some of the gamblers who are gambler addict doesn't gamble because of referral bonus, why some can exactly because of bonus of a game and play online as you said, but one thing is that, online game is more preferable because it's a game you can monitor in any place you  find yourself provided that you have handset or your internet system.

^ In short, it is easy to access online casinos than land-based casinos.
But it depends on the casino's jurisdiction because as we can see as of now, those trusted online gambling casinos are implementing KYC and they must know their customers which is if you are Islam, they know it already. But of course, it is you between and the casino, you did not publicly see by other gamblers like a land-based casino. That is probably the main reason why gamblers are prefer on online gambling casino and I agree with the OP.

But it depends on the casino's jurisdiction because as we can see as of now, those trusted online gambling casinos are implementing KYC and they must know their customers which is if you are Islam, they know it already.

Since some online gambling casinos accept users from countries that are illegal especially Islam countries, even knowing these users are Islam thru KYC, it's not a big deal to them. Everyone is welcome at that site as long as they support users at those places.

I don't see or heard yet a case where these Islam countries, penalized their people doing online gambling. What they do is collect information about these sites and blocked it on their local ISP. That's why most people here used VPN to access online gambling.

[bitbollo]

It should also considered the "kind" of play that is possible.
with an online casino (which uses crypto) it is possible to have fun / enjoy the time even with a few cents!
You don't need large amounts of money to sit at the tables and play.
I have seen web casino that allow to play with fraction of penny!

In many land-based casinos, the single chips to play can have "large" denominations (no less then 5 USD) and in a few minutes you risk playing the average salary of a worker

~snip~I don't see or heard yet a case where these Islam countries, penalized their people doing online gambling. What they do is collect information about these sites and blocked it on their local ISP. That's why most people here used VPN to access online gambling.

Once I saw news about the arrest of online slot bookies and punishing them, because it has harmed many people and this also depends on reports from the public. But about online casinos that are played by many people today that have been blocked by local ISPs, they can still be accessed using a VPN. it is very rare that people who play online casinos will be arrested because they are only players not the dealer of the casino, as well as large online casinos that do not have offices in Islamic countries, they are in countries where gambling is legal.

Access is a big factor and if we're living far from the city, that needs some effort just to go to the local casinos. But since there are too many online casinos there.
Instead of going there and doing some efforts, we choose not to go anymore and we're just used to the usual thing that we do and that is to gamble from the online casinos.

The internet has made it easier for us to play casino games from anywhere in the world. There are many reasons why people prefer online casinos over land-based casinos. The best thing about online casinos is that they are easy to access, and you can play whenever you want. It might be hard to find a land-based casino that has all your favorite games and offers the same level of service as an online casino. You can chat with other players and even if you don't have any friends in real life, you can make some new ones through the chat rooms in an online casino. There are so many other things that you can do and they are all quite fun. And if you get bored of playing the same game over and over again, you can switch to another one with just a few clicks of your mouse.

Preference of Online Casino over Land based Casino

• Convenience to play
• Play on the go(usage of Mobile, tabs, etc)
• Unwanted travel isn't necessary
• Gives the best of privacy
• Availability of big list of games

[chaser15]

Not for me, I always find the comfort of home beautiful and I find loud noise and music irritating.  This means it is all in the players' preference.

I once visited a physical casino before and there was no loud noise or irritating music there. The music and entertainment part of the land-based casino is separated on the actual gambling hall because it will result in wrecking the focus of the gambler.

There might be background music in the gambling hall but that was solemn as the key is to give those gamblers a relax mind when playing. The loud noise is only present in other areas of that casino where the actual gambling is not present.

People trying to be responsible while betting, they don't want to be seen in the offline shop betting or making the entire street known about your gambling habits and would results to lack of respect. Naturally peoples sees gambler as those who don't have futures who is only looking for a free money to won, so with online gambling you could be at your comfort home place your bet and withdraw whenever you feels like without any interference from any third party.
Lastly Security; is another curial aspect of offline gambling, with online don't expose yourself that much, you stays at your comfort zone and gamble smoothly without any obstruction like physical weather etc.

You summarised a lot of valid points why so many people these days prefer gambling online instead of visiting their physical home casino. In my opinion the most dominant factor of the rise of online gambling was the covid pandemic. Having lockdowns all around the world and restricting people from travelling made it almost impossible to visit physical casinos. Then on top of that were the government relief funds which gave money to the businesses which stayed closed during covid. For a long time in my home town the casino was closed, only in the next bugger city 80 km away was still an open casino. That leads to my personal argument why I mainly enjoy online gambling these days, it's so much more comfortable. After a long day at work you can enjoy gambling at home from your couch for 1 hour without any hassle. Comparing that to driving a car for 40 minutes and having to wear a suit to enter is a pretty easy decision for me. When on vacation it's a different story, it's more of a highlight to visit a physical casino and its usually an event for a whole night. At home I use gambling more to relax and to test my luck.
