Social aspects of online gambling

But sometimes interacting with other gamblers is quite fun and can give us additional experience.
In gambling, having lot of experience will be very useful so we also need something called sharing experiences with other gamblers.
It just that some people may also be active in the gambling site chat room, they don't know each other but it very fun and can reduce the level of mental stress when experiencing several losing bets.
It just that if in the real world or land-based casinos we really need to limit ourselves because there are several groups that might influence our mindset and they will have bad impacts such as making us uncontrollable with several invitations to bet excessively.
We must be wise in choosing groups or people in gambling because not all of them can have positive impact.

Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.

I don't understand the new features that the casino might provide, but if it just for resting then we can improve the gambling site.
It just that if you really want to rest by having social interaction with other gamblers, it will be as easy as sitting at table and chatting with each other.
And for online casinos, can do as I mentioned before, namely entering the chat room.

I don't understand it myself, but if they want to take a break from gambling, it's better for them to immediately leave the casino so that they don't want to gamble again. That would be better because from telling each other stories, there may be a desire to continue gambling. After all, you are curious about what they are telling you. Chatting in the chat room will depend on each person, and there is no pressure to stay there.

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

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?

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 honestly depends on the players, dealer and environment.  Some tables I've been at it's been a blast between the players and the dealer and others where it's very serious.  Mood even from table to table is very different.  I tend to gravitate towards the noise in the casino as its more entertaining than just sitting there grinding.

And if you are a type of person who doesnt really like on doing things on solo or in quiet then for sure you would really be that preferred on making use or would really be dealing up with physical casinos.
It would really be that actually be depending on someones preference because there are people who doesnt really like a noisy ambiance and there were people who does really like for them to make themselves on getting entertained more. Socialization is one of the best things when you do gamble on which it could really be acquire through on going into those physical places on which you could really be able to make out some interaction into other people on which some are really that liking it and some doesnt really care at all. For me i would really be liking to play
solo in front of my PC and its really just that fine that you would really be having that kind of choosing since it would be your choice at the end.

Some of these gamblers have unique stories to tell you. For instance, some gamblers will tell you that since they started gambling they have never lost any odds before and it has been a straight win for them all these while. Whereas there are those who have never won a single game before since they started gambling yet they have never get tired of the gambling rather continuing to play even more.

How tense it is to play live at a gambling table, I have never felt it but it looks very exciting to see people who focus on strategizing when playing poker. If you compare it to playing online, it won't provide any social aspect because it's like playing alone because you're just sitting in front of a computer or on a cellphone screen. Playing live will give you extraordinary adrenaline of course, that's what makes people excited and even though they experience losses sometimes there is support from other people, but if you play online people won't know.

This is the best aspect of gambling activity, and this is what people should primarily see at gambling. Interacting with other gamblers in chat rooms can lead to gaining useful knowledge and tips adds a collaborative and informative dimension to the online gambling experience. Sharing insights and strategies can contribute to a sense of community among players. The virtual environment allows people to connect and build relationships, fostering a sense of camaraderie within the community.

Some may prioritize the game itself, while others find value in the social interactions and discussions happening concurrently. The exchange of tips can be both informative and entertaining, contributing to a positive and collaborative environment among players. But Physical casinos is better at getting this experience. The ability to see and chat directly with individuals in physical casinos provides a unique form of interaction, highlighting the distinct social dynamics of each environment.

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.

Surely anonymity is an important aspect of online gambling.

But probably the communications infrastructure in online casinos could be improved even with it in mind.
For instance when playing any card game in a table there could be an avatar based chat system where the text appears as though it's text bubbles (think of it like a comic).

Also for any other casino game, there could be a specific chat where maybe players could join each other's session.
If I make a big win for instance, I can share a clip. But what if I could share my live session and even have a specific chat for it?

There's many possibilities.

i can understand that sometimes we need to connect to these people just to understand their gambling life. believe it or not, we can learn a thing or two from these people and remind our own self about what to do in our own life. they have varied experiences but the bottomline is, how gambling influence the way of their life? is it for the better or worse?

I think it's also matter of "space" people behind a laptop for a betting "are just few". meanwhile people that can follow a bet in a corner or behind a table in a casino are much much more!
I think that we must divide two kinds of betting: play for fun (ok social betting), play to have profit (then we need to stay focused so play alone it's the best).

You really think so, that space is what make people to go to physicall casino and those that goes online, I don't think so at some point, although you may have a point in this, but for a fact the point that can possibly come from this can not be waiged to be enough to call it sufficient, because whatever space or social interaction that can occure in a physical casino can also take place online and is even better online since your privacy concern will be sorteyout in the case you get lucky to hit a big amount of winning.

Facebook suggests people want to share all their personal details online, Im not sure if gambling stops that being true or not.   Generally its always seemed best to me not to give out your personal details online as its assessible by anyone, by bots by agents such as various hostile states that want to profile and run files on people.   Because computers are so powerful its not a fictional story, its not especially a good idea to feed even more information about your gambling and just general spending habits imo, why should strangers have control of that info.    So yea I'd prefer anonymity based on understanding how information can be harmful, not everyone is friendly towards gambling but there is definitely levels of social gambling openly done where people just want to hang out and play thats fairly normal to imo just online turns data into a commodity.

With this then we can't rule out the socialization aspect of gambling, anything can be beneficial if we can take the opportunity to utilize it, such as connecting with other people in gambling, you can exchange stories with them through some chats and ask about how their experiences during their gambling and I think from there we can get some learning, every gambler has a different approach in their gambling involvement, there will definitely be some of them who have done crazy things that make them down and you can make it an example and learn so that you don't make the same mistakes in any situation. I think for the issue of whether gambling affects their lives or not I think it all comes back to how they approach and understand gambling, if indeed they come without the right understanding which causes them to always do things that are out of control and that they cannot be held accountable for then obviously it is a bad impact on their lives due to the wrong approach to gambling.

[Fundamentals Of]

I think the social aspect of online gambling can't match that of offline gambling. The bond or the experience with other people can't be sufficiently provided in online gambling platforms. Perhaps it would only be activated if the other gamblers in your table are friends or if you are familiar with each other like when a poker game is composed of users from this forum. If they are not friends or familiar persons, you would even seldom contribute a response.

When you meet fellow gamblers of course they will have stories to tell about the games they play and can also exchange gambling strategies that fellow gamblers have, if they tell you that they can win their gambling in a row I think they are saying things that we cannot believe because Every gambler has certainly experienced defeat and it is very difficult to win in a row and if the person who tells the story has never won and they keep gambling, perhaps that person cannot learn from the mistakes they made in the gambling they played and decide to bet more. Many things in gambling are certainly wrong choices if we cannot correct mistakes in the games we play.

 Exactly! in that way, we will have more ideas about different events or experiences from other fellow gamblers, it is also better sometimes that we communicate with others because we can get new ideas on gambling and we can also learn from what they have been through already in their gambling journey.
sometimes, when we meet different people, that's when we learn more, you will also know that not all people tell the truth, Funny but true, others just make up stories to cover up what really happened, many of them are more experienced failure and defeat rather than victory.

This is what's missing, the act of forging connections with other people are not present when you are doing online gambling, there's no physical presence that can evoke the feeling and at the same time I feel like you're likely to spend more money online because there's no physical separation from you and the money so you don't feel that sadness that can make you when you're gambling on a physical casinos. Even when you're playing with your friends, it would still be different and I think it's noticeable, the banters are boring and the trashtalks with your friends are just different when you're offline, go on and test it to see if what I'm saying is somewhat true.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

In as much as I am yet to fully grasp in details, what op is communicating, I would say that for me personally, I don't fancy socializing in online gambling, so, even if online casinos were to introduce a social media like online gambling experience for her users, It will mean absolutely nothing to me, as I am not that social kind of person.

So, in the nutshell, I would say that, online casinos are just perfect the way they are in terms of socialization, and one thing we must understand is that, online casino can never be like offline casinos in some aspect, and one of those aspect is in the area of socialization, gamblers who love to meet new people through gambling are better off choosing offline casinos for their gambling activities.

[davis196]

I don't consider writing messages in an online chat to be a true form of "socializing".
If you want to socialize just go out and meet people in person. A casino isn't supposed to be the place, where you could find real friends.
It's true that some casinos have chatrooms, but I couldn't care less about this feature. Maybe some people are more extroverted, so they want to talk with someone while gambling. I'm definitely not extroverted and talking(or writing messages) to other people while gambling is very distracting to me.

They feel that sharing their unique story can make them feel relieved so that other people can learn the lessons behind their story, although it depends on each person. Perhaps some people don't listen to the shared stories because they only focus on gambling. More and more people will be willing to share their unique stories with other people just so that the people who are gambling with them will know. We don't know why they tell their stories to other people because some people share their unique stories about embarrassing things that happened to them. Socializing with other people is also based on their desires or goals for attending the casino.

This is the best aspect of gambling activity, and this is what people should primarily see at gambling.

Some may prioritize the game itself, while others find value in the social interactions and discussions happening concurrently. The exchange of tips can be both informative and entertaining, contributing to a positive and collaborative environment among players. But Physical casinos is better at getting this experience. The ability to see and chat directly with individuals in physical casinos provides a unique form of interaction, highlighting the distinct social dynamics of each environment.

In the chat room, people can get to know other people from different countries and share stories about what happened in their country or share tips and tricks for playing gambling. Of course, that is not a trick we should follow because casinos will not let gamblers win a lot of money. However, sharing insights and strategies can help improve their gambling skills so they can become professional gamblers later. The virtual environment can also be a place to discuss many things, including things that will happen.

Some gamblers expect tips from the winners so that they have more things that can be useful for them in gambling. It could also provide closeness to the people in the chat room so they can be more comfortable, calm, and free to gamble. But if they can't control themselves, they will only lose and get frustrated, so the atmosphere in the casino will not get better for them, especially for the losing gamblers. They are better off hiding their losses from other people than telling about them, even though there are gamblers who also tell about their losses in the chat room.

Right, there is a very significant difference if we look in terms of the socialization relationship, of course and I think this is the obvious difference between physical and online casinos, which if you gamble in a physical casino then obviously you will meet a lot of other visitors who certainly have a lot of time and opportunity to socialize by exchanging stories or various experiences in the world of gambling maybe which will certainly be able to increase the bond in terms of relationships.

So of course as you said that socialization in online casinos will not be able to match physical casinos because after all the services and situations are different, online gambling is more specifically for people who don't want to bother leaving the house to gamble like most people do when gambling in physical casinos, on the other hand I honestly never found out about how to connect with other people or even my own friends in online gambling, but maybe this is a good idea to develop.

This is why when it comes to choices then it would really be that totally depending on someones preference or liking if we do speak about physical or online casino on which it would really be that best that you should really be the ones who would really be finding out on which place you are really that interested on dealing with. There are some people who doesnt really like on crowded places and there are ones who are really that liking on having those kind of socialization with other people and this is why it would really be that depending on someone whether they would really be sticking into their own interest or would really be trying out
to test some other field on which it would really be just that depending on you.

This is why it would really be that always that matter on your own interest and if you are really that have plans on trying to test out other options
then it would really be that according into your own decisions because its your money to be used not theirs. So if you do find it to be that
interesting then it would be just that right that you would really be sticking into it.
