Features in Crypto Casinos for the Elderly

[Mr. Magkaisa]

   -   I think your uncle is only an avid gambler in the land-based casino and when it comes to the online casino here in the crypto world he is not familiar.

Since you are the one here in the crypto gambling space, why don't you OP teach him the basics so he can enter and play in crypto gambling, that's easy for you, email, password, and how to create a wallet whether it is btc or usdt.

Because if you give him a video tutorial, it might be more complicated in his condition, it's different to have someone personally explain and show him how to do it.

[Slow death]

OP do not teach your uncle who is already an old person to play in online casinos, he already plays in the physical casino that are more reliable, do not drag your uncle to the online casinos that are casinos with many problems, I think you are doing enough time in this cryptocurrency market to have seen so many scams, so you know the danger of online casinos, elderly people are very sensitive, they can get some disease and die because of some online casino that withheld their fund

are you imagining explaining your uncle to add his bank account to buy bitcoin (see that even in this process it is possible for your uncle to suffer a scam and lose money) and then create an account at a casino and have to go through KYC, he plays and wins and when you try to withdraw receive information that you have been banned because you are using too many accounts

I ask you:

are you sure it would be good to get your uncle involved in online casinos?

[Mate2237]

Op you don't have to suggest a video tutorial or any other teaching process or material to your uncle. Because I didn't see any big different between depositing Fiat currency to a casino platform and use it to gamble with the transfer of cryptocurrency to a casino platform, you can just teach him how to make a deposit from his wallet to the casino site if only he is ready gamble in his old age. I am not advising you to teach anything in gambling because in his age now he has to keep his money for up keeping and paying bills at home not to gamble but he is eager to do that then there is no option than to teach him.

Well, I had a friend who at that time was over 60 years old, and he told me that he wanted to learn everything about computers, and I remember that every day I went and taught him, and in a period of 3 months he had a great level , he learned a lot, about internet searches, about what pages he could visit, what pages not to visit, at that time it was long before 2009, because Bitcin did not exist yet, but I am sure that if it had existed and I would have taught him, he would have acquired Bitcoin and I would have worked with BITCOIN, older adults are very intelligent and I think that a crypto casino would learn crypto very quickly.

There are elderly that can catch up with everything that they want to learn and it's only going to take them less time to be good at it. Although it sounds good to see them taking some touch with crypto and gambling. It's better for them to just enjoy other things than gambling. I agree to the concerns of the others that don't encourage them into gambling if they're already old enough because we don't know if they'll be compulsive and will start to react with every loss that they make. I saw some elder that have been through with that.

Much better if they can enjoy their remaining years into something more fruitful and meaningful for them.
We don't know if in the process of learning the crypto gambling, they will be addicted into it, and will pose problem for them especially financially.
But if they are really interested, you can advise them to do simple searches first over the internet, they can learn little by little.
They should not force themselves in learning all they need at a very short period of time, take time to understand and assess if this is the path they want to do with their remaining years of life.

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?

Why add an extra and unnecessary layer of complication by suggesting to use a crypto casino? There are much larger and well established casino's out there which have been running for a long time, which simply require a bank card or other simple payment methods to top up. Crypto casinos don't offer anything particularly new or revolutionary in terms of the games / sports betting on offer. Look for accessibility functions and maybe even check the footer of the site for any extra settings which might help.

True but sometimes it gives fun to have someone to play along with us especially if they are really close to us.  Since it actually doesn't need another step to play in a cryptocurrency casino because there is also an option for the fiat player to deposit cash via debit or visa card to the crypto casino.  So I think the additional feature would be allowing cash winnings to be able to withdraw in form of cryptocurrency which is available in some crypto casinos but the majority I knew don't have this function.

Along with video lectures and tutorials, it would be great also to have visual representations and pictures on a step-by-step process of deposit and withdrawal. Given that the nature of cryptocurrency is complicated in itself, it would make it very convenient for these elderly people if such processes were at least spoonfed to them.

Another feature that would definitely be great is for a website to have the option of increasing the font sizes of the texts. Given that majority of the elderly people have deteriorating eyesight, having such option would help them read better.

To be honest, I have no complain on elderly people gambling. I know a few of my friend's grandparents who gamble and these people know how to discipline. Like, they gamble purely for entertainment given that they literally have nothing to do in their free time.

Welcome to the forum,

I am very curious how they will handle their token. On the forum there are some casinos that have launched their native tokens on the market and have not been successful, and one of the reasons is firstly because of the bitcoin price drop, and secondly the casino turns its back on the community that they themselves create. .

When casinos see a lot of money from a market coming from their token, they no longer take the community into account and obviously lose all support( It's just the behavior of some casinos I've seen), and here you cannot leave your investors aside, it is a golden rule, they must always be keep happy and with news of optimism.. I would advise you to make a difference and for your native token, not only list it on decentralized exchanges, but at least one famous centralized exchange to arouse the interest of big investors.

It seemed he could use the self-exclusion feature if necessary but it also depended on the person, as normally, they rarely used this feature unless it was by accident. And I think if it's about video tutorials, he can try to find it on Youtube, which has tutorials about gambling and even some tutorials on how to play a gambling game. He wants to know how to gamble using crypto. Maybe he needs to know about crypto first and its benefits so that he can divert his attention to using crypto for gambling. After all, if someone is familiar with crypto for gambling, he can return to gambling casinos more often than other people, as we do

I think that on YouTube there are many tutorials about how to make deposits or withdrawals using a cryptocurrency which are carried out by gambling sites or users of gambling sites, for example stake.com and several other gambling sites, you can check youtube and tell your uncle about it.

each country has its own habits and even gamblers too, in my country there are also many older people who really like playing mahjong - poker - blackjack - or PvP chess. a gambling game that can sharpen the brain, this is a good thing for seniors.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that senior citizens often already have some issues regarding their eyesight, so if casinos could have an UI in which everything was bigger by design then they may have an easier time gambling as it would be easier for them to see what is going on.

After all most user interfaces I have seen look very sleek and modern, but at the same time everything is smaller in order to fit more on the same amount of space, and for the elderly this could be confusing as they many not know what to do when being offered so much information at once.

Most of them have a hearing loss problem and poor eye sight, what I think the online gambling casino should add in their website is the "Voice over" or "Audio Description" I think that would not only help elderly but also the people with the problem with their eye sight. For example announcing the result in the roulette, what card does the user have, etc. I really haven't think about the elderly playing casino and since you bring that up I am curious how many elderly are gambling online.

I'm not comfortable promoting crypto gambling to seniors. Since your uncle is doing just fine on brick-and-mortar casinos why would he use online casinos? I know that online gambling is more comfortable, because you are doing it home. Why doesn't he use online casinos accepting fiat money? I guess that he knows how to use credit cards. Is online gambling banned or restricted in your country?
I can't think of any "features" that would improve the online gambling experience of elderly gamblers. Most online casinos are pretty convenient already. The ones that aren't user friendly and convenient usually get kicked out of business by the competition.

[Kakmakr]

Yes, it is always sad to see old people sitting in casinos and being desperate for that win that will change their life. A lot of them cannot work anymore and they are looking for some quick extra money... but in most cases it never happens.

You actually need two things....

1. A tutorial on how to buy Crypto currencies and how to transfer it to a casino.
2. A tutorial on how to signup at a casino and how to play the games.

Let's not forget that a lot of old people are gambling as a method to socialize, so giving them online Crypto casino access.. might isolate them from other people. 

[acroman08]

I would like to suggest that crypto casinos put a video tutorial explaining how to use cryptocurrencies for gambling on their website.

to be honest I think it would be better if the person actually do their own research on how to use cryptocurrency for gambling.

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.

this is what I think too, will his uncle be able to understand the technology, I am not trying to belittle his uncle or anyone but I have seen some older people that I know of have a hard time learning new technology especially if it has something to do with computers/phones.

[Cantsay]

I don't think teaching him how to operate an online casino is going to be a good idea. You should at least let him continue with the one he has been using and maybe his interest my reduces ( probability is very low) rather than help him find ways to increase his gambling habit.
And again I think aside from teaching them how to deposit crypto in their account they also need to the taught how to buy them. Because as times goes by they'll be needing more of it.

[xSkylarx]

A tutorial would be good also, but for sure there are video tutorials on Youtube about this that you can send to your uncle and he can start to watch them, but I do suggest that you guide him at first until he can do it alone since I know it would be difficult for them, so guidance is the best. Also, I just think it is nice to have a feature in all casinos like senior mode, and it will make the font size bigger, make it easier to play in hand, or make it easier to recognize by those older people, as I think a lot of older people want to engage in this but are just scared.

Yes, I actually have two elder friends here in my neighborhood too. One is 55+ and the other is 60+ years old. Drinking buddies on Saturdays. I try my best to feed them the simplest information about cryptocurrencies and even gambling activities because they are also avid fans of basketball locally and in the NBA.
One of them catches up quickly (the 55+) and he is now in the crypto space playing NFT games and others, he even sometimes surprise me as he gets his news faster than I do.  The other one though has no interest in it although he will try listening to how it works but never applies it.
Some old people just want to stick with the traditional things but those who want to learn can make it happen. I think OP's uncle is willing to learn so this will not be a hard task for him.

[maydna]

Why not teach the elderly about cryptocurrencies and how to send the crypto into a casino. I am sure that they will find it easy to do since sending funds to another platform is not very complicated thing but the problem will be on how to use the gadget. Well, my mother doesn't even know how to use mobile phones and evem right now is that she didn't know all of its features and my mother only use messenger app and Facebook and nothing else. I think that it may be a challenge to teach ssomeone about gadgets but for someone who is interested even though that person is an elder then I think it may be easier to do.

It would be better than teaching parents about crypto gambling because we don't know how well they can control themselves by not using all their coins in one day. And if they find they can't control themselves, they can deposit more money into the crypto casino to continue gambling. This is the same as allowing them to gamble more than other people. We should be able to teach these parents to use something properly and correctly, especially if it is about bitcoin, and they also need to prepare for their old age in peace by making bitcoin an investment for their old age. It will really help them when they have no money and feel bad about asking their children for money, and they can sell their bitcoins to earn money and meet their needs without the help of their children.

I agree with you that it is not the greatest idea to introduce parents to the world of cryptocurrency gaming. Instead, they need to be taught the value of Bitcoin as a long-term investment. Betting profits are secondary to retirement planning, after all.

They need to learn the value of responsible money management in order to resist the temptation to gamble in the future, as you pointed out. Making Bitcoin into an investment helps them save for the future and prevents them from feeling dependent on their offspring. Everything benefits, and I have faith that this strategy will improve their lives for the better in the long run.

Learning about the investment offered by bitcoin, at least it can help them save for their future. And when they really are not working or have entered old age, they can use their savings in bitcoin to meet their daily needs. And who knows, they can give their bitcoins to their children and grandchildren to continue what they started, which can provide great benefits for their family, especially if he can invite his family members to join bitcoin so they can feel the benefits of bitcoin. That will make his family a family that is ready for anything that happens in the financial sector.
