Why don't land-based casinos have an online version?

[BitcoinPanther]

I have read that there are some land based casino that also offers online gambling platform, but it is unheard for us since we rarely visit more than two or three land-based casino. We can only find the information while searching online. Aside from that I also think that @ mu_enrico reply makes sense.  They need to compete and attract more tourist to play in their casino vicinity so they focus their effort and budget in developing and expanding their land based operation making it more appealing and gain more acknowledgement in terms of customer services and user experience.

It's because that's where their business lies, physically and locally. While it's a good idea that they should have their web version but they just can't.
The ambiance that they offer to their customers is what their business is also circulating, physically. If it's not with that way of servicing to their gamblers, many will stop going there.
And that's what they're made for, to operate physically and the appearance of their gamblers is what's make them easy to convey their marketing on them as it will be like that they're going to miss the better place if they will gamble online.

I wonder why real or land based casinos are not offering a virtual or online version of their casino ( I never seen one yet). If they can afford to open a physical casino it seems easy for them to invest in a virtual one as well, possibly combining both to create an experience similar to what Evolution Gaming offers.
And if you are asking why i thought about this it’s simply because by doing it they can expand their business to reach and provide a more reliable and trustworthy platform for gamblers. Just recently we have seen unfortunate cases where online casinos have scammed users and disappeared with their deposits, often due to unknown teams and creators behind these platforms

If you think about America for example, it was only relatively recently that they started to open up online gambling again because they had it banned for quite some time. This means that many casinos are in a rush for online real estate right now that laws are being relaxed across states. Previously if people in the US wanted to gamble then it was a trip to Vegas as one of the most lenient places, which is why it was able to produce such a reputation and get a cluster of mega size casinos. In many other countries in the world where it's legal you will find that physical casinos have an online counterpart which will take in bets, however it might not be named the same because a lot of good online domains have been taken

It's also to a double advantage though... If a landbase casino decides to develop an online version of their service, then they're entitled to a double, or even a triple turn over...
It's quite exhausting and time-taking as there are so many processes behind the validation protocol.. apparently, that's the reason any landbase casino owner won't wanna conceive the idea of putting up a software structure too... Secondly, they'll be entitled to double expenses since they'll be managing boths interface.

There's a value attached to those land based casinos because of their purpose, nearly all of them were not made basically the to directly generate money for the owners but to serve as means of entertainment and burning of  leisure time by guests and that's why they're mostly located in resorts area. Just like others have said it's mainly for tourists pleasures so they don't feel boredom throughout their stay, so therefore, adding an online version imo both can't reconcile under same gambling house. And a distraction on the side of owners on decision which to give more attention  may arise creating poor management. In business it's advisable to hkeep a stronghold on the area you're doing great not becoming jack of all trades master of none at the end.

Don't think that it is, since the purpose of the owner of those casino is to gain profit from gamblers they are not there just to have fun since they know gambling business generate a lot of money. The reason why they are mostly located at resorts is because they want to make an extravagant ambience and can create a impression that they can get a lot of fun here and they are not targeting low ballers but rather they are there to deal with those rich people who can spend a lot of money on their casino.

It is not always that way you are seeing it. I believe if such happen, those gamblers who are already playing their land base are also likely to be those also signing up to the online with just very few more to it. But usually the patronage may not be widely different because someone betting on the land casino will not have much to bet online and vice versa.

It's quite exhausting and time-taking as there are so many processes behind the validation protocol.. apparently, that's the reason any landbase casino owner won't wanna conceive the idea of putting up a software structure too...

You are right on it. There is a reason to choose a land based casino. The owner may not want to undergo the processes of online casino and if he comes up with the idea later, it means he has prepared to take up the challenge.

We never know though. These businessmen thinks differently than everyone not in the same industry, so your idea is something that they've already thought about for sure, but there are certain things they need to consider in fact expanding their business does not only limited to engage in the online world. I'm not sure of it if one of their concern is about taxation.
Also, land base casinos specialty are offering tourist a complete accommodation to enjoy their stay. So, an online version of their casino is something not relevant because their clients wants human interactions while on vacation. Nobody wants to have a vacation to be just staying in their room longer.

I feel like we have received many informative and reasonable answers to my question, and the most important ones I've gathered is that online casinos have only recently been legalized in the US and before that people had to take a trip and travel to special places where casinos are based.
With all these regulations it leaves little time for casinos to invest elsewhere. But also the new law that regulate online gambling opened better doors for newcomers to establish themselves first.
Some answers also were that there are concerns that this move (having both casino versions)  could be risky, potentially leading to bankruptcy, as gamblers might prefer online gambling from home rather than traveling to the land based casino and spending time and money to start gambling while it can be done by few clicks.
This thread will be closed now, and I'm thankful to everyone who shared their answers. This way there won't be a need to reopen the topic or restart the conversation.
