What do you appreciate more Desktop or Phone

[danadc]

There's this comfortability we get while operating on mobile device in gambling taking any good position that best suit the comfortability of the gambler either by sitting, slouching, sleeping, bending or even standing, gambling can be enjoyed on different body positionings without being distracted for any reason, we gamble at our convenient time and place without having barriers to how and when we gambles as long as we are on the mobile version.

And i would like to add up to what's a very obvious reason why a lot of people prefer to place a bet on their mobile devices. When you have such an annoying wife who's always going to scold at you for spending money for gambling, then I guess playing on a desktop or laptop computer is not gonna be a suitable device for gambling for you, coz your wife can easily spot what you were doing lol.
Another thing is that, your children or even your wife may mess up with your account when they discover you're gambling online. 

That's a good point for using cell phones instead of a desktop PC for gambling. If our children our spouse can aceess our gambling sites easily it's a big security risk. It's not only about the potential money we could lose if someone else places bets for us, it's also that our minor children could get access to casinos. I think it's normal for any young kid to sneak around and try to find hidden treasures from our parents. That's why it's important to have different profiles for any user and to make sure we have a good password in place. Also if we spend too much time on our phone gambling without telling our wife what we are doing she could become jealous and demand to know what we are doing. The more secretive we are the more our it makes us look guilty of something. In my opinion it's best to play with open cards and tell at least our wife what we are doing. No need to talk about every win or loss, but at least be open in general. For me gambling on my desktop PC is still the most relaxing way.

That made me laugh a lot, but you are right, there are women who are very jealous and when they see their husbands the first thing they think is that they are writing to someone else or that they are messing with someone else, but I am sure that when they realize that they are not that's it, nothing will happen, but women are very curious, they can get into the casino and play for you, but not everything is bad, just as you lose you can also win and that would be very beneficial for both of you, you should give her the half of the profits to her for having made you win, that can be an advantage / disadvantage.

I am strongly in favour of desktop applications or even web based, as I think that phones are usually to small and I do not really trust much the apps, but there seems to be many people who would rather use their phone. Is that because they do not have access to a desktop computer? It may also be a regional issue, the same as people that do not use a browser?

It feels like with a bit of thought and effort, it might be possible to make a really great mobile only setup but I think trying to blend to two or make a website multi-device can often be done badly. Ergonomically speaking the two interfaces are very different and you should be tailoring your whole experience separately instead of thinking that something like shrinking to match the screen size is an acceptable trade off. Desktop apps when opened in a mobile device can often be clunky, allowing for "fat finger" mistakes or even dropping off important parts of the functionality that the developer decides it is too hard to accommodate. Even things like sliders can be hard to operate in the same way.

Both devices have their own advantages and disadvantages and that's one of it which is the size of the screen in both devices where you know the sizes of the two. I really can't say which one I really appreciate more since I appreciate both. In my opinion, this feel like a contest of which one is the best and both devices are at draw unless you dig more from both of which of the devices will win either the desktop or the mobile phone. Anyway, desktop have much more feature than mobile though but it is not portable and yet you can install an app like an emulator to be able to install apps that can only be installed on mobile phones. I think we need more effort and thinking. Just saying.

Yes, one device could be use when you are in transit and one which is not.When it comes to overall user experience then you would really be appreciating on what a desktop computer could give out since it does shows up big screen and better viewing angle which you cant be able to achieve or impress yourself when you do play on mobile phone but on the time that we do speak about convenience when we are on transit then mobile phone is really that relevant.

Just like the rest been saying that when you are on a phone then it would be literally convenient since you could place up your body on whatever angle you would be like to play
which some people do mostly prefer on this way.

Well, 90% of the population use mobile phones and yes it is indeed what many people use and as you have said about the angle that you prefer when using mobile phones and about the desktop which I really appreciate on what it can give or provide when using it which explained that desktops could also be used to install an application like an emulator (Bluestacks for example) and be able to download apps that are meant for mobile phones which is very convenient although you can't bring it wherever you go unless you are using a laptop which is very similar to desktop but you can also bring it anywhere you go (If there's no problem with the batteries)?

Mobiles have more advantages than it's disadvantages and that's just the truth, when we are talking about technology advancement the purpose was to create more ease to how people enjoy live before and having a mobile version of games and bets we play in gambling is a different advantage on itself because some people sat down to think about having this done before it was implement through findings, there's mobile internet connectivity with mobile phones, gambling opportunities and many more aside the normal calls we make or receive from it, almost every gambler have tasted this mobile version in gambling while some never use the desktop to gamble in this present era.

Smartphones without a doubt are very practical and they offer many advantages over desktops, but it is precisely that versatility that makes them dangerous for gamblers with control problems, as many years ago you need to visit a casino in order to gamble, but now you have the casino in your own pocket tempting you to play, this is in fact one of the reasons why I prefer to gamble on my desktop and not on my smartphone, as in that way I avoid making gambling too accessible to myself.

well, that's the problem sometimes taking a laptop out of the house and using it for gambling is indeed more fun with a screen like a desktop computer but laptop batteries are very wasteful and if it is far from charging it will be very annoying when we bet. and maybe one of the more efficient ways to use a tablet that is similar to a cellphone but has a wider screen.
and I think if you use a computer or laptop to download an emulator like Bluestack it's not efficient. because if your laptop or computer does not have high enough RAM space, it will experience a decrease in the performance of your computer or laptop. I mean after you install Bluestack on your laptop or computer you will usually experience problems with the graphics being broken and it will interfere when you are gambling.
maybe you have experienced something like this when using Bluestack on your PC.

More gamblers will appreciate using there phones to make bets than having to using desktops that are not always mobile. We cam take our phones to anywhere we like even to the toilet and secretly make bets or book games that we may want to paly letter.
Op need to know that desktop is not easy to use because it's partially mobile.

You are right about phones being more mobile because they are easy to carry around but not all players are people who are always on the move because there must be some of them who also spend more time at home so a desktop would be the choice and I don't know if there has been any research on that which device is more or chosen by the player so the assessment so far is only based on personal preferences and experience.

this is why it it depend on our stand in life, if we are mostly out of comfort zone then best to use Mobile accessing gambling casino site, but if we are home based or mostly in office and house? then better to stay in desktop in which for me is safer to access and with best quality in performance .

That had always been my big problem when it comes to using mobile browsers, big fingers.  I bought a bigger-screen smartphone and it only felt big at the start but as time flies, it feels smaller again. It is prone to mistakes and this is gambling with money on the risk. We cannot afford to make mistakes especially when we are betting high amounts.
The last time I made a mistake using my smartphone to bet was putting an Overscore bet for the whole game and I was even celebrating because I know I hit it but to my surprise when I checked it, I bet for the under total score. After that, I didn't use my phone again at opening browser-based gambling sites.
But if it is in a mobile application, then I might consider it.

I mainly use desktop more than mobile phone for gambling, especially for casinos and betting sites where direct wallet connection is required, I don't use mobile phone but connect wallet using desktop. But I use mobile phone when traveling somewhere far away. But in some cases, if there is some special software that does not support mobile phones, I use desktop. Desktop use in many cases offers many benefits to browser extensions that mobile phones typically don't.

But be careful if you are playing on a casino site that requires a direct wallet connection, as we may have heard about incidents of hacking crypto wallets installed in the browser.
It should be our concern not to use the main wallet we use to store our coins.
And be careful if you use a smartphone and use the browser on your smartphone to play gambling by connecting it to your direct wallet and ensuring it is safe for you.
I recommend that you separate your personal wallet and the wallet used to play gambling so that it will not interfere with storing your coins.

As far as I know, your wallet can only be hacked if you accessed a phishing site and entered the seed phrase of your wallet. More than that, I'm not aware if it is entirely safe for users to access and connect their wallets (e.g., Metamask) to casinos that has this feature, like Owlgames, which is a reputable business.

It is common today to have phishing and some people keep all of their funds in their wallets some of those are not secured with another layer of security such as using a two-way auth or more ideal with the use of the hardware wallet before making a transaction there are some people always getting bait with those websites and afterwards checking their wallet is already drained without knowing, also sometimes is the seed phrase still stored online so they can copy easily that habit might cause of losing their assets.

You can easily connect wallet through mobile phone to manage gambling. I think connecting the wallet is not a big factor. But if we talk about convenience then both desktop and mobile phone can provide convenience. But it will depend on the location. The use of mobile increasing which people moves to going outside. However, those who are used to using desktops at home will definitely be interested in using desktop computers. Nowadays, gambling software is adaptable to both devices, so manufacturers make software so that both desktop and phone users are able to run it seamlessly.

The phone is the part of our life. We can`t do anything with it and i don`t think that it is something bad. It gives us opportunities that we can`t get from the standard PC or even notebook - mobility. Now we don`t need something except the phone and the internet to make all these things that several years ago were possible only with PC. And of course we can gamble any moment we want.
But if it is possible - the PC is more comfortable for gambling for me.

All things here in the world have a good and bad side and Yes we can not disagree that Cellphone nowadays gives us the fast way or let say it will makes our job easier than before as we all know that That trough internet and mobile phone we can access More sites that we really need to go with. And in terms of gambling we can do it where ever we want as long as we have our phone and internet. But the bad side is that the more we can access everyday in some gambling sites the more we got addicted to it and we can not deny the fact that when the days goes by we got addicted.

It is the same with the other things. 20 years ago we could say it about the computers and today it is everywhere. We can talk about the bad side, but it depends on who we use it. The phone it is just an instrument. For me the phone with its opportunities an instrument that makes my job much easier and i get the result several times faster.
And i can gamble any time i want

To navigate detailed websites or to keep up with many tabs at once desktop is way superior than mobile

I’ll only prefer mobile when I’m on the road or for fast things that you can do on the go like betting on some game after already having deposited in the gambling website

I am always against the use of wallet connect to play because it exposes your wallet security details and this information can easily be stolen online just as you have mentioned.

I do prefer making deposits into your wallet instead of breaking your detail while trying to connect the wallat.

This is definitely true, but there are still some gamblers that would prefer to connect their wallet to decentralized casino and play rather than play on a casino where they are asked to go through kyc verification before they can withdraw their winnings.
The long and short of it all is that centralized and decentralized all have their pros and cons, we choose which ever we are more comfortable with, though decentralized casinos aren't that common yet anyways.

I really don't think that the ideology behind this topic is right a s beside, there are a whole of persons who will prefer to use their phones rather than using a desktop for some following reasons
1. Compactability: is one is one feature of using a phone over a desktop and you'll understand the ease of caring your phone compared to using a desktop.

2. Availability: this is another reason why phone is more preferable over desktop as one can easily stake a game at anywhere and at anytime.

3. User interface: if you'll agree with me that, the gambling apps are built with more simplicity than the website.

These are some few reasons why I feel the use of phone is at advantage over the use of desktop.

In today's world where everything is so fast and available at one call , everyone prefers phone over desktop as they are handy and easy accessible.  You can use it and carry it anywhere you want and your whole work and entertainment is on one click so for me phone always .
Desktops are now its less used as convenience of people.
