Social aspects of online gambling

[YOSHIE]

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In the world of gambling, in general many people view actions and situations as worrying, especially in the social field, there are many aspects that can be symbolized and can be understood, it depends on the social environment in which we are.

The majority's view of social life is generally religious, of course the aspects that arise are negative and if the majority's life is social, of course the aspects of gambling that arise are normal, in fact there is social pride, but the point is that as long as online gambling is growing now, of course in my opinion it is normal without any striking aspects, it has become entertainment and pride for those who gamble at online casinos.

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

Having never tried physical gambling, I don't know about the interaction, let alone the actual socialization aspect.

In client gambling I don't really socialize much because for me it has become a comfort for an introvert maybe only the aspect of the social chatroom that is in gambling but that's not entirely socialization because we know the object there is often random and difficult to understand from the beginning.

So I don't have a lot of interaction in online gambling we just stay in the room and do the game quietly there is also socialization outside we don't talk much because we know gambling is more of a worry aspect in the circle so we never talk this.

Everyone was busy with their own gambling, even when they sat at the same table, I didn't hear any warm conversation or just small talk. Likewise when talking about online gambling, when I find a friend sitting next to me and he is gambling online, let alone talk and joke. I tried asking, he didn't answer at all. and as for one word he said to me, that word made me feel a little hurt, where he spoke in a high tone and told me to be quiet for a while and just wait until the gambling was over.

but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

Well that would be kinda hard for your side since most of the people who gamble online, doesn't really look for socializing when playing. And probably most of the reason why they choose to gamble online is because they don't want to socialize and maintain small talks only. In my case as an online gambler, I just want to focus on playing and doesn't really look for someone to talk to while gambling.

While on the other hand, physical casinos are more on socializing and making connection with other people inside the casino. If you want to gamble and socialize at the same time, maybe you can do it with sports betting and then join groups or channel in discord.

In both cases, for me, socialization has a lot to do with what I want to achieve, for me it is very easy to talk to people, regardless of the environment, because I have that, but there are people who are very introverted and it is difficult for them to do so. socialize, but in these two things for people who are this introverted, but things can be easier to play in an online casino and make friends there, I am not one of those who starts looking, sometimes they come to me talk to me, it's not like I'm playing all day, every day, in physical ways, those activities are also presented.

For introverted people in casinos that are offline, it is difficult for them, they are always quiet and only speak what is necessary, sometimes they are not liked because it is thought that they only seek their own interest and not fraternize, sometimes it is good to have friends, to be able to have The more options for help in any activity, is what I have learned, the more friends, the better.

Social aspects of online gambling may exist in pvp based games such as poker but of course the communication will be limited to chat messages.
Maybe in the future there will be poker game where players need to open their camera so players can see other player's face like what they can see in real poker game.
Nowadays we can see most casinos has chatroom, it can be one of the social aspects we find in online gambling but what I can see is that now most chat rooms are now full of spams only especially if the casino has a lot of online chatters.
Maybe some casino has a feature like "add friends" so it can be the next level of social things in the casino so players can send private message to their friend list.

Socializing and building interpersonal relationship skill through gambling, can't be gotten online. Another advantage of offline casino, spotted. A gambler who engages in playing games online and wishes to have some fun with other players, have no other option than visiting the physical casinos. Where he'd meet follow gamblers and share ideas. However, when we want it online at all costs. One could begin to enjoy the fun of chatting online on special interest boards relating to gambling. It mustn't be some popular platforms like discord, though it helps, but I think if one does their research, they would be able to find a fun conducive platform for gamblers, where they can have some virtual conversation online and see each other's faces. Looking at Op's idea, he's mainly concerned about the live games where he'd see other players.

But he's not comfortable with the fact that they'll hardly have a sound conversation. The online casino is quite growing and may become more fun in future, depending on the number of people who wish to make it a better place than the offline casino. Like I said, nothing beats physical conversation with other gamblers. It's very fun and worths the time spent in a casino. One could get a new network of friends. But looking at the response of most people only few gamblers care about having fun with other players online. The motive is to gamble and move on. It's more like ordering some products online, they're things we'll still need to get in the grocery store next to our home. We can't have it all online. Life is mainly sweeter offline, and gamblers know this, so swapping it would be fine.

Online gambling socialization among players is out of point. The few casinos I have gambled, I have not seen anyone who discussed with another person but in physical gambling centers and when you have placed your gambling and if you feel like to stay back to discuss with fellow members about any topic, they can discuss and wait for outcome of the game. But in online gambling, as you placed your bet, you login and do another thing because there no one to discuss with there. But I don't know if other casinos which I have not used have that chatting feature among gamblers. And if it is not, they should add it because it will make gamblers more busy online and learn new things.

There is none compared to physical casinos, on physical casinos people go together to do two things, to gamble and to socialize, whereas on online casinos people play to make money.

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

Your only option is the chat feature of the casino but I don't think it is enough, this is the weak point of online casinos they lack the socializing feature of the physical casinos, so you'll have to fully concentrate on your game so it works for introvert gamblers.

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

I don't know what kind of improvement they have a chat feature and that's the only option that online casinos can give, they expect you to play their games not to socialize.

The spate of online gambling has brought in more of having privacy in gambling than when we consider the social benefits it gives, here you will have to gamble online with the way you want, how you want and when you wanted to without having any form of distractions, with your gambling, but when we are talking about the way people go with the physical gambling, there's much of gamblers interactions in it than we see with online, but talking about the overall assessment, we are more concerned about what we actually want and how it has impact on the way we all gamble, which makes the online casino crypto gambling have more gamblers than the physical gambling casinos.

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

It's a good to have but not necessarily something that you'd be clapping your hands to the casino for if it were to be implemented. As crwth mentioned it's not like users will go actively out of their way to chat strangers even if they become so bored or so lonely from the gambling journey, so it's not that much big of a deal to implement in the first place.

However, I think a social aspect that every casino should have is the ability to add friends and actively chat with them within their premises. Some casino-goers would rather keep their identities within the casino inside there, for privacy purposes. Having a chat feature that doesn't require them to use any other third-party application greatly increases the usability of the site, from the usual gambling and dipping to gambling, chatting some of your friends to wish them a good luck, and then dipping. And for some people this will work wonders as it reduces the chances of them getting scammed, or their identities in the gambling site being used for the same manner. It's a win-win however I look at it.

Still, the need for chat features honestly pales in comparison to larger issues that gambling sites face today. One of which being complex terms and conditions that shouldn't even be that way in the first place. They should first focus on giving high quality of play features within their casinos before they jump into stuff like these in my opinion.

I don't think they will add or they can add although online casinos promote themselves as an entertainment portal adding a socializing feature is not their business, even if they can add social features like we're seeing on Facebook they will not do that, it will become a distraction for players, they are a betting site, casinos want you to use their platform not to socialize, they are not an advertising platform like all the social media where they make money from posting ads while their users are socializing.
This is the reason why physical casinos will not become obsolete or out of style they cater to gamblers who love to socialize and gamble, something online casinos cannot offer.

This is definitely spot on.

I have visited tons of online gambling platforms but there seems to be a lack of socialization platforms within the website in order to interact with the fellow gamblers. Maybe the reason on why only a few casinos have implemented this is because to avoid any form of toxicity or solicitation from random people?

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

Maybe this also focuses on the reason on why people gamble. If they want to socialize, I guess people would just visit physical casinos than to interact with people on an online platform. Maybe another factor here is on how the online casino creates a UI with friendly and easy controls for people to socialize with.

In my opinion for those gamblers who need socialization there are land-based casinos and cruise ship casinos. There you can always find someone with whom you can spend a good time for a pleasant conversation. In extreme cases, you can always invite friends to your home and play the same poker or other gambling card game.

Online games do not need to be socialized. They are designed for something else - a quick opportunity to play gambling having at hand a smartphone or laptop with an Internet connection.

Right, so I think it's just a matter of choice, as we know there are two types of gambling which are online and offline and for the socialization issue obviously a gambler can maximize it in the offline type of gambling because as you already said that there they can always find other people or visitors who are also trying their luck at the same time, you can make a lot of friends or maybe get some useful references in or out of the gambling field.

So the point is that casinos have provided easier choices and you have the freedom to choose, however each casino has its own advantages, online casinos make it easy for anyone to gamble anytime and anywhere unlimited by only using intermediaries such as cellphones or laptops, you manage it yourself as long as you have money to bet. And for offline casinos, obviously the way gambling works is real, meaning that you gamble through real gambling tools and in terms of the atmosphere is clearly different, which as we said above, you can meet many visitors there and I think this is the right choice if your goal is more towards socialization activities to build good relationships with many people directly, and this is an option.

I don't think they're lacking behind for communicating as they didn't put that in mind when creating online casino as most individual that use online casino are doing that for privacy and comfort. They don't want to socialize while gambling and that's why they didn't use the physical casino. I don't want more to be done to how we communicate online at the moment so we don't lose our privacy and other benefits of online casino that we're enjoy at the moment.

If you want to socialize, there are many other things that you can do to social and if you only want to socialize while gambling, go and use the traditional casino. Online casino don't need more things to be done. The chat box or the live box where some gamblers can discuss is okay. For casino that don't have a chat box that gamblers can use to chat with eachother they can add that to their casino and that's okay.

True, for sure to those people who do make use of crypto gambling sites are the ones who are really that putting up focus when it comes to privacy and accessibility on which it is true that they wont really be minding about having those social interactions or whatsoever on the time that they would really be doing gambling on which they would really be focusing on playing without needing on paying up attention
in regarding about chit chatting with other people and this is why it doesnt really matter much on what are the things that they are involved into as long they could be able to play
without having those kind of worries on exposing their identities.

When it comes to social interactions then if they were really that interested of it in the first place, then you wont really be that making yourself
be that sticking into online gambling but rather you would really be going into physical ones. Its a matter of choice and preference in the end of the day.
There are really just that people has always something have to say.

Even if we do speak about to those people who are playing gambling online and made out some chats on the chatbox which it isnt really that totally the same when you are really that
having some interaction personally or face to face with other fellow members. This is why there are really some people whom do really love on sticking on playing on physical places
just because they do really love on playing and making out interactions on which they do really interested with that aside on making some entertainment with gambling.
There are ones who are really that skeptical on playing because of these aspects but just like said it will really always falls down on someones preference.

When a casino becomes super popular it's hard to chat... but in the beginning, when there are not so many active players chatting can be interesting, especially if there are some contests for some small prizes. I had the chance to be one of the first players in many casinos, and it's interesting to compete with a few people and chat with them.

Social aspects of online gambling may exist in pvp based games such as poker but of course the communication will be limited to chat messages.
Maybe in the future there will be poker game where players need to open their camera so players can see other player's face like what they can see in real poker game.

It's interesting to chat with other poker players, especially if know each other from before... but it's interesting when things become hot, when some crazy turns are happening on the table, and we all jump in with comments. That's is kinda enough thrill for me, I wouldn't like to play poker with an activated cam and look at other players. I don't feel it's my thing.

Online interactions are totally different than in physical interactions. I think most of the gamblers in an online casino doesn't want to socialize that much, so the online casinos didn't prioritize this feature. However, it is still an advantage if an online casino will put a friends list that would let the user sent private messages to other people. But then again, most gamblers in the online casino does not want to socialize but to gamble. Those who chose to socialize and wants to have fun while gambling will definitely going to visit physical casinos. That explains why most prestigious casinos are tied with five star hotels, because they want their target market to enjoy the ambiance and gamble mindlessly.

Online casino would have been completely made private, if not for KYC. But the need to make it a fun place for communication, may not be as expected by some gamblers who wants the communication features available. On the long run, we could be seeing some casino who would adjust things and make availability for a better fun platform. Yet it wouldn't make many changes since the aim of other gambler is to gamble and chat using the chatbox. Any other feature one needs could be gotten on social media platforms. Nothing else can be done to change the way online gamblers communicate with one another. It must be on screen. We cannot feel or touch them, hence the virtual reality we seem to get isn't proper fun compared to what physical casinos provide for gamblers. However, the physical casino is fun, but people still mind their businesses. It's not like all people go there to do is socializing.

The only fun part of physical casinos is when we go together with our close friends, we'll enjoy the games. However, those who came alone can at least discuss with some experts who may want to help them with new strategies. Or argue with them about their prediction being wrong. And they need to try something else. You'd never have a substantial conversation with someone you just met, like you do with an old-time friend. So, an online gambler that wants to have fun like he's in a physical casino, can invite his friends over to his house to gamble with him and share ideas together. No other difference. Aside seeing people, some can go to the physical casino and still go back home not entertained by the people they see in the place. The person needs to know how to hold conversation and possess a good communication skill.
