Features in Crypto Casinos for the Elderly

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.

Usually an old people is lazy enough to learn alone, they will ask their child or someone is younger then them to teach and guide them. So I think a video tutorials doesn't really help them, most likely they wouldn't watch it and will say it's hard or give other excuses. Traditional casino is more preferable for old people because they've experienced it and know how to play. Maybe this is why traditional casino is still alive until now, I believe when the new generation already get older, traditional casino might not be successful like now.

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.

Now, I know that OP wants to be of assistance to his uncle, but I think it would be wise to take into account his current financial condition before moving forward. It's probably fine to give him a shot and show him how to make a deposit if he's wealthy enough to bet and genuinely interested in doing so. But if he's using the money for bills and food, it's probably not a good idea to educate him about anything to do with gambling. When you or a loved one struggles with gambling, it's crucial to take precautions. Accordingly, everything hinges on his available funds and his level of enthusiasm for online gambling.

There's no much attraction gotten from the senior citizens in gambling because they were not that involved like the youths and young adults, old age is a big factor that limit their participation in gambling and we cannot expect them to have sane result as the young ones when gambling, the more why the concentration here is not basically targeted on the senior citizens in gambling considering many factors that may render them ineffective, but nevertheless they can still be considered to have that right in gambling as long as they wish to, offering them video clips for tutorials isn't a bad idea as well, but know that only few can be interested in having time to watch and learn from those clips.

His uncle is indeed old but OP said that he still often goes to real casinos and was curious to try using crypto casinos.
From this we can conclude that indeed his uncle was a gambling enthusiast since he was young and even though he is now old he certainly has a lot of money or extra money that he can use to play gambling and bet, so we don't need to think too much about the money he has to pay bills and eat because of course the money for these purposes is already there and he keeps it.

I do believe that seniors still want to gamble, but using crypto or playing in crypto casinos might be too hard for them, even though we gave those clips that might help them but still they will prefer traditional ones, maybe because they are having fun playing with friends in real casinos and they don't need to be afraid that their money might be stolen without them notice I mean we all know that we all can experience online fraud and phishing and we should be vigilant to it.

Yes, you are right. most of the elderly prefer to be told directly, rather than having to learn through tutorials provided by casino platforms or from various other sources. most of the elderly, would rather ask someone close to him to teach him about something related to technology. and the most effective is to teach them directly, and even then step by step, if not, in a short time they will quickly forget.

So, crypto casino feature for elderly will not be effective. why, because I had a similar experience as the OP described in this thread. at least, it took some time for them to memorize it properly. Regardless of all that, associated with traditional casinos or land casinos. I'm pretty sure, however, land-based casinos have their own advantages over online casinos. Traditional casinos will still be loved, not only for the elderly. especially if the casino destinations are in big cities, such as Las Vegas, Macau, Marina Bay Sands. at least, there are many gamblers around the world who want to visit big-name land-based casinos as vacation destinations.

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.
...

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.

I would agree to this that teaching an over-the-hill person is not easy and should be needing a longer time for him to understand like teaching him from the very basic up to the most complicated part. I guess that is important so that he won’t be making mistakes when he’s already betting. However, since he’s fond of brick-and-mortar casinos, I guess this will be a challenge for him to start embracing what is new and is of high demand. But if he will be well guided by OP, I think that will be a lot of help for him so he can gamble confidently.

I somehow disagree with your statement. With the recent technological advancements, surprisingly, lots of senior citizens are into gambling. Majority of them are also using their respective mobile phones in order to access tons of gambling applications. Not to mention, these gambling apps are notoriously aggressive on their ads across all social media platforms and websites.

Personally speaking, my own grandmother gambles frequently on her mobile phone but sometimes she has trouble seeing the texts. In addition, I am somehow positive that she would not be able to grasp the complexity of withdrawing/depositing in a gambling website so I do hope there is a way to simplify this process.

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?

I would really not recommend this...though if you are determined, the best thing you can do is do a guidance on how to make a deposit and do the whole process in front of him first with notes. At least to teach him how to transact. Same thing with using a wallet, buying/selling on an exchange, the fundamentals. In terms of games, maybe slots would be most familiar, or traditional tables games. Most casinos work the same from what I have seen. Be sure to point him in the right direction of some trusted blogs to and tell him to be vigilant with which ones he chooses to use. The last thing you want is for him to be scammed.

I hope at the very least that you guide and monitor him closely.

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

I do not agree that any features/options are added to online crypto gambling sites, if specifically for the elderly, I know very well if my parents or grandfather, let's say 65-80 years old still involved in gambling, it will make me emotional high if I see it.

They should create and show their children and grandchildren their good behavior, should not show gambling behavior.

If there is a certain feature added in online gambling where the elderly are forced to gamble, I will be against it, if it is proposed to the licensing authority.
