Online Gambling : Next Generation Challenges

[boty]

Lol, if we want to make gambling more social and popular, we should have something like gambling education (based on sex education) to teach people to play for fun but responsibly.  #ResponsibleGaming

I agree!! because once this idea will be implemented in the near future, This also means that more younger people will engage in gambling because it is easy access, especially now that gambling sites can only be found on digital sites. It will be more fun to gamble when there is personal/virtual interaction with other players like of those in casino houses but let's also remember that this kind of activity that is steeped in technology is prone to many things and diseases so it would be good for us to have gambling education to also give guide and tips to people who are just starting to discover online gambling .

When everyone can easily access gambling, of course this will make someone who cannot control themselves in gambling will experience addiction and there will be a lot of losses from the gambling they do, yes, online gambling will indeed be vulnerable to fraud and if we don't understand well the site we are playing on, of course when we win, of course it will be very difficult to make a withdrawal and some even cannot make a withdrawal and it would be better for those who have just tried to do online gambling, they first learn about it so that not wrong in choosing the gambling site they will choose to bet on.

In the world full of Ai and machine learning like this all industry can be the next generation od everything, including gambling because ai can know our behavior from the data that we give from our play.

Maybe the ai can decide when we win and how much we will spend on daily basis etc etc. in my opinion like the other industry gambling is Also evolving

I think more social interactions will be developed in gambling websites. It is prominent in most online gambling platform that it lacks that social aspect that physical casinos have. I mean obviously, it may be difficult and challenging to recreate such scenario where you get to experience both the socialization and interaction in an online setting. But most likely, this challenge has been the primary goal and motivation of these people to create the next generation of online gambling platforms.

With the pandemic, it had a huge impact on the growth of online services. It also proved that shifting to an online setting can be more convenient and accessible compared to some traditional services that were done physically.

Personally, I am very excited as to the innovations that would be created in the near future. Though gambling will still be gambling at its core, but having that social aspect can make things more bearable and exciting from both ends.

This conference supports an optimistic vision for the future of the gambling industry from the point of view of service producers, because more social gambling means more victims of addiction and a decline in vital productivity at the expense of non-productive activity. Gambling service providers did not think about the risks of the advance on people's mental health and focused on what supported their companies. Social gambling means more users and therefore more profits.

I hope that at the conference they discussed the negative effects resulting from any development that may occur in the direction of expanding the user base.

Yes without realizing it, there must be a bad implication if it is not studied with the risks that may be caused by this progress about social for online gamblers, of course there will be many people connected and more freedom in gambling will also result in many communities in my opinion from things, this is also good because we can connect and share information with each other and maybe we can also know who our opponents are if it's poker. But the bad impact that may occur as you said is quite dangerous and aka many people are disturbed, and the problem of addiction does they have a solution to this kind of study.

Regarding the bad scarcity point, an important detail can be pointed out, which is the use of artificial intelligence in the gambling industry.
Well, what might this help with? Platforms or health institutions for the elimination and treatment of addiction can rely on artificial intelligence to analyze the data, which through the results it will provide can determine, for example, gambling patterns among addicts and determine the reasons leading to this, in addition to providing its details to users according to their ages, regions, and playing on their own. This is about health organizations monitoring the phenomenon, dealing with us scientifically and with platforms, then developing their services and controlling those results as well. What is your opinion?

I don't think it's a preventive measure in dealing with gambling addicts because they will come to give notifications when someone is already experiencing gambling, it's not a wise action even though it can be tried, but it will go against the term of preparing an umbrella before it rains.
And again whether the platform is willing to install that AI and add it asking for it will cost quite a bit in my opinion and need to be reassessed because things can happen that are not wanted.
And of course AI will only give warnings not stop the gambler who is impulsive in his gambling, this does not work if it is to get a solution to handle the addiction that might be caused.

Unfortunately the MSN link doesn't work anymore. But I have been able to find it back luckily. Actually the article is not in the companies category but in the topstories one. It's surprising to learn about this casino making 45% of its business revenue from slots played by women, I wasn't aware that online casinos specifically targetting ladies was existing to be honest. It could be a winning strategy though, since ladies could have specific needs to be addressed actually.

I did not say that this happened or will happen, but it can be considered one of the effective ways to deal seriously with the issue. I am sure that gambling platforms will not accept any policy that threatens their profits from their direct customers, but this can be adopted if this is imposed as a procedural policy by the country granting the activity license, for example, or the body responsible for regulating gambling activities in general.
I am sure that if the issue was presented to gamblers, they would absolutely reject it and not pay attention to any potential benefits. I am also certain that neither governments nor any government's health policies can specifically include those addicted to gambling, especially since it is a productive sector and it would not be in the state's interest to disturb those companies in any way.

Kavelj22, your points are well taken regarding the role of artificial intelligence in monitoring and potentially curbing gambling addiction. It’s an intriguing idea to harness AI to analyze behavior patterns and provide insights that could lead to better intervention strategies. However, as @bangjoe noted, the implementation and effectiveness of such technology in real-world settings could be complex and fraught with challenges.

From a personal perspective, I believe that while AI could provide valuable data and might alert users or platforms to potential problematic gambling behaviors, the effectiveness of these tools would heavily depend on how they’re integrated within the gambling ecosystem. For AI to be truly effective, it would need to be part of a broader, multi faceted approach that includes education, user consent, and strict regulation.

Furthermore, the ethical considerations around using AI in this context cannot be understated. There would need to be clear guidelines on how data is collected, analyzed, and used, ensuring privacy is maintained and that interventions do not become invasive. This becomes even more complicated when considering the interests of gambling platforms versus public health objectives.

In an ideal world, regulatory bodies could mandate the use of such technologies as part of licensing requirements, ensuring that all platforms comply and contribute to a healthier gambling environment. However, as you rightly point out, the potential conflict between profit motives and health initiatives is a significant hurdle.

Ultimately, while AI offers promising solutions for identifying and mitigating gambling related harm, its deployment in the gambling industry would require careful consideration, balancing technological potential with ethical and practical realities. Such initiatives would need support from both the industry and regulatory bodies to truly be effective, aligning technology with the best interests of all stakeholders, especially vulnerable gamblers.

A Panel here says that the next generation of online gambling will be more social, engaged and targeted.

This was discussed in the Next.io conference held in New York. They said that online gambling will be more targeted and at the same time it become more of a social activity. Right now we see that an online gambler is gambling in solo with no social connections but this could change in future.

The online gambling companies have to reform themselves as this will be a new demand from the young generation who are coming to online gambling and they need socialization also while gambling (like we used to have in physical gambling).

The idea of making online gambling more social and engaging is exciting, adapting well to our digital era. Adding social elements can enhance the camaraderie found in traditional casinos, creating a vibrant and interactive online experience. This approach could resonate strongly with a generation that values community and social interaction.

While there are potential risks, such as increased time spent on platforms and social pressure, it’s essential for the industry to implement these features responsibly. Prioritizing user well-being alongside innovation will be crucial.

It will certainly not be easy to achieve public health service goals only by imposing the adoption of artificial intelligence tools to analyze data. In principle, there is a structural problem related to the possibility of accessing data in a way that does not conflict with the privacy of users or the interests of gambling companies. There are also problems in how to process this data and who has the right to do so if the state is not able to do so. Of course, none of this could happen if the state had not prepared the necessary infrastructure, whether technically or legally.

I think it would be meaningless not to exploit artificial intelligence for the public good, whatever the cost.
