Features in Crypto Casinos for the Elderly

[Davidvictorson]

I visited an uncle in another city. His birth year was 1960. He has been an avid gambler for a long time and frequently visits brick-and-mortar casinos. He currently wants to test out an crypto casino. He has heard a great deal about it. He did, however, note that despite possessing the cash, he has no knowledge of how to use cryptocurrency for gambling but would really like to. I would like to suggest that crypto casinos put a video tutorial explaining how to use cryptocurrencies for gambling on their website.

What other features would you like to see in crypto casinos for senior citizens?

you can explain it better to an elderly as they best see it themselves in action than explaining it on a video. they can easily mess it up if they follow instructions, they may not even know how to google or learn the terms in crypto.

all they need is a wallet. and the games in traditional casinos are almost the same as in crypto. if you mean a bingo game for the elderly, then it seems like there's none yet.

None?

Right now every crypto casino are really easy about their deposit and withdrawal process, it doesn't need any tutorial as long as your uncle or the old people can use cellphone and ever bought stuff via online. It's just a basic step and completely similar, what they need to understand is how to use non custodial wallet, understand about various blockchain network and how to make sure the device is safe from malware or virus.

Well your uncle could use his experience from the casinos that he has visited during his life but only use that knowledge and apply it to online crypto casinos.He should be learning more about crypto mechanics how they work and everything related to keep crypto wallets secure and as soon as he knows this I think he will be ready to start playing in any crypto casino he chooses to play.

I think the video idea is a good one to be implemented in a crypto casino but I think most of the users of crypto casinos are young people at max the age under 40 or let's say 45 as a maximum and I am talking about the majority of them because we have a crypto master here in the forum well over 60 (he is philipma).

I do not think that is necessary, crypto casinos can just give suggestions about the platforms that gamblers can use to buy cryptocurrencies. Instant exchanges, other centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges which are the platforms to buy cryptocurrencies have tutorials about how newbies can purchase cryptocurrencies

First, he can easily ask in "Live-support'

CASINO always have some live-support, and then they're gonna explain how to use crypto. Could be send a video from youtube from him to learn, the different is can your uncle understand in some fast way?

We live in 2 different generation, and could be your uncle is non-tech people. Is gonna to be hard for them, also casino don't have time to deal with it.

[bittraffic]

You can deposit some coins to your uncle's account on a crypto casino, I think he can already manage to do it on his own. You just have to remind him to be careful in pasting BTC addresses in withdrawing.

I however doubt he'd like it since he is used to brick and mortar casinos, the feel is just not gonna work for him but perhaps the LIVE casinos where he can see the dealer girls

The elderly have passed through the early stage, so I believe that if not for medical issues, they should be able to follow the simple guidelines provided to them either with or without videos. It's your responsibility at that time to guide your uncle on this, you would have started from Bitcoin and other cryptos, how they come into play, used for payments and as an alternative that could be used for payments in casinos almost exactly as fiats could be used.

From there, you guys could have moved to the chosen casino site, and with a simple tutorial from you, he would have gotten it since he is not new to the game. However, if he must watch videos, youtube and other sites are there for short and extensive teaching on how to gamble online.

...

You can't teach an old dog new tricks so easily. I think OP should set him up completely, from creating a wallet and registration to making first bets, and in case he makes some profit he needs to show him how to withdraw.

I would like to hear the rest of this story... some old habits are hard to change, especially in old age. I think it's not just gambling, but the ritual of going to the casino, meeting old friends, and all the other stuff that goes with getting out of the house. I wonder if he will make a shift to crypto gambling or if he will find it less interesting and go back to brick-and-mortar casinos.

Most crypto casino has a play and go feature with a built-in tutorial on every game menu bar. I believe any player that can read will easily understand all the games inside crypto casino. The only problem which an elderly person can be encounter is the use of crypto currency itself such as when to buy it, store it and how to transfer it because cryptocurrency itself is much more complex than the crypto casino. Crypto casino is just the online version of physical casino though. If an elderly is a gambler then he definitely understand the casino feature.

But of course this varies on the comprehension and mental state of elderly since some of them is already can’t comprehend online technology which they shouldn’t be playing online casino alone.

[Wexnident]

I think the best feature they can add is live chat support to assist them, I reckon a tutorial is naturally there so no need for that, but if there were any issues to crop up I reckon having live support could help the elderly in accessing casinos if they ever wanted to. Though I do think that any elderly visiting a casino would probably know what he's doing, I reckon no one would honestly just get lost and suddenly end up in one after all.

In your uncle's case, I think it'd be better to learn about crypto in general first then online casinos, online casinos work the same anyway, crypto or not, so knowing what crypto is and how to use it should be the priority.

Is there a difference in the features created at a casino for the young and the old?
Modern-day casinos provide a lot of convenience for players who want to play.
To be able to play gambling, the thing that is needed is a deposit. At the deposit stage, account and wallet numbers are provided for those who want to play at crypto casinos.

For your uncle who wants to try switching to crypto casino gambling, you need to explain the basics in detail so that he is not nervous. I think when he receives an explanation from you, he will definitely understand it quickly especially since he is an active gambler.

Well, video tuts/howtos would be great but when you mentioned "casino for the elderly" I somehow imagined big fonts, high contrast color scheme, text-to-speech support stuff like that.    Actually, many elderly people are gambling online and I haven't heard about any special age-related issues they're having. Many 60-70+ people are are using this forum as well. No problemo. 

[danherbias07]

He may need a casino with an in-game exchange service feature. Someone posted a list about that here in the gambling discussions but I am having a hard time finding it. That way, he won't really need to do all the hard work of learning all about other cryptocurrencies, he just needs 1 coin, bitcoin preferably and exchange his USD for it.
But the easier path is just to use the USD payment option of any gambling site, they are available. Stake.com and Sportsbet have USD, and other fiat currencies available.
A cryptocurrency casino or sports bookie doesn't actually mean that's their only option for deposits.

[noorman0]

There is no imagination in my mind why I have to provide special features, because basically there is no technical difference between casino games whether crypto or fiat based. I think the elderly just need to be directed to sites that are oriented towards basic crypto learning.

As their friendlier option, there are some casinos that use fiat values on their crypto casino account balances.

[Reid]

If he resides in the US and doesn't mind using a smartphone, then I would point him out at the newest applications made by different gambling sites.
Fanduel for example. DraftKings and more. This will get rid of the learning process about cryptocurrencies and avoid the trouble of teaching him.
But, if you are eager to teach him about the crypto gambling sites then I think there's a lot on this forum that we could suggest for him. Reputable sites that has many currency choices and maybe even the hard cash could work.

It's good for a casino to have that but when it comes to learning how Cryptocurrency works, there are a lot of these on Youtube, and there are many sites dedicated to learning how Cryptocurrency works, the Crypto casinos can just post links to those videos and articles.
There's no difference in teaching Cryptocurrency to older and younger people as long as the elder is not afflicted with Alzheimer's he can learn how everything works in less than a week, there are a lot of easy-to-understand tutorials about Cryptocurrency.

Big, clear and simple buttons on the website make it easier for elders to use virtual casinos, similar to how some smartphones are projected for old people. I believe the many features and configurations we have at gambling platforms difficult the comprehension for elders, and increase the risk they click somewhere by mistake, potentially losing funds too quickly and consequently leading them to have a very negative experience with online gambling.

[Bitinity]

He did, however, note that despite possessing the cash, he has no knowledge of how to use cryptocurrency for gambling but would really like to. I would like to suggest that crypto casinos put a video tutorial explaining how to use cryptocurrencies for gambling on their website.

Frankly speaking I wont teach/suggest someone I know about crypto gambling especially if I know if he/she is old enough and if I know that it will something not easy for him/her to understand. Even if he/she is a gambler in land based casino, but I think it will be still complicated for the elderly to adapt with new technology unless you know them well in case on how adaptive your uncle with new technology.

I guess it's just the same as using crypto isn't it? regardless if that is an exchange or gambling platform. And if your uncle are technically incline, then it's easy for him to used crypto.

So that is the big question, is your uncle even using a phone to begin with?

And I doubt that casinos are going to target a kind of video to promote their websites to senior citizens.
