Social aspects of online gambling

[Accardo]

Online gambling gives portability and comfortability than the offline casino but doesn't provide some of the good things of life offline casino possess. Although nobody is restricted from using the offline casino, the online players can switch to physical casino any moment they feel lonely. However, not everybody has the ability to start or hold conversations with other people, hence the offline casino may not be a conducive place for them, regardless. Hence, it's crucial that gamblers who intend to make fun while using the physical casino should be able to engage and approach people. But if they have a clique already, it wouldn't be a hassle to get fun there. I think most online gamblers are comfortable with the provision of the opportunity to gamble online. Other requirements are secondary, the aim has been achieved. Gambling and getting paid online is what matters.

The difference between online and offline gambling is not much a chance to socialize with other people and enjoy the entertainment on offer at physical betting shops. But it is true that online gambling is more popular than offline in today's era with the advancement of technology and everyone feels more comfortable like offline gambling no need to present themselves a gambler can enjoy online gambling from his own home. And here the information is easy to keep secret. In the physical casino, everyone knows everything and all the hearts of the society come out.

On that perspective, the offline casino unveils most of the results or information of the player, like his face, earnings etc. I mean everyone would know the person as a gambler, compared to the online casino. Where the gambler can conceal his gambling habit to himself, while risking his personal information to KYC. Having this is mind, you'd understand that no place is safe; online or offline. Since the government insists on KYC online casinos lost its privacy feature. But the player is safe from his loved one or friends knowing that he's into gambling. That's what you're talking about, it makes a good difference. In the world of today, people who go to offline casinos, may not really go out to the society or our environment with a microphone telling them about seeing us in a casino. Things look mature.

A player who doesn't want such visibility, can go to a distant casino far from his house or neighborhood and gamble. If he's a social being, enough, he'd get more fun playing offline than online. It now depends on the gambler. The online space is mainly for gamblers who don't have the energy to associate with friends, in the offline casino. Hence, they wish to continue their habit at home to keep things safe and secure about their behavior. Although it strived during the locked down period, but that may have been the reason for online casino. A place for less social people to spend time gambling, at the serenity of their home. Nothing else can be offered to the players, he's social activity now depends on him. Online casino puts every other responsibility on the player, aside, providing games, support, and chat box.

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.

   For me as a player there are some positive benefits that comes with online gambling. One of these is the interaction with some people through online. With the help of chat options and multiplayer games, several platforms for online gambling can promote social engagement. Even if they are physically separated, this can be a means for individuals to connect and compete with one another. However, if you spend too much time gambling online and find yourself too comfortable alone. This could affect both your personal connections and the larger community. The social benefits and potential drawbacks can be hard to weigh for both individuals and society as a whole. However, it's important to remember that responsible gambling is key to enjoying these benefits without any downsides.
   A bit more cynical point is that it allows a safe space to do what would be awkward or unacceptable in real life. The racial abuse and momma curses unless admin or auto-ban can come in place. This will give the space a more efficient environment to users to play.  With time more gambling site will finally adopt the communication among players. It will be nice seeing come to play, there you free up your mind and even get more insight for other player.

If I look at it from this side, it is probably true that people who go to physical casinos will get other services that casinos do not provide, namely the opportunity to socialize with many people in person and this is an advantage that we will not be able to get if we gamble at online casinos. With this opportunity, it can pave the way for you to have relationships with many people and maybe you can make many new friends which is certainly true what you said that our gambling will feel more fun. Now in this modern era everything looks easier to do, one example might be from gambling, you can choose according to what you want, if you really don't want to bother leaving the house then obviously your choice is to get involved in online casinos but if you want to meet lots of people in person with a lively atmosphere that can make you feel more happy or mean you are one of those people who like crowds then of course you can come to a physical casino, all of this is your choice.

So each casino has advantages and disadvantages that we won't be able to find in each casino. People will choose which casino is comfortable for them, so they will return to that casino. Building relationships with other people while doing activities may or may not be necessary, depending on what we are doing. But if someone wants to build relationships with other people while gambling, maybe people can go to a physical casino because they will meet many people from various places. In physical casinos, they can gamble with them, see each gambler, feel the sensation of gambling together, and more. But in this day and age, where there is ease in accessing the internet, people can also spend their time gambling from home so they don't need to visit a physical casino. They don't mind if they can't meet and build relationships with other gamblers while they are gambling. Their goal is only to gamble and spend their free time while they can build relationships with other people through other activities.

Right, the conclusion is as you said that each casino has its own advantages and in general we can see from the difference between online and offline casinos, they offer something different that is needed by all types of people. For the problem of whether they want to build relationships with other people they have never met before, it really depends on their own desires and they only have to choose if that is true then yes they have to go to an offline casino because we can see that it is a more effective place with a crowded atmosphere from the visitors who come, but if not, the choice is definitely an online casino. But on the other hand these days I think more people prefer online casinos because indeed now this type of gambling is increasingly popular in the eyes of the public and one of the games that is more often played by them is slot machines, I don't really know what the reason is but certainly what I see is because this type of game is very easy and does not require any skills, you just press the button to play the game that's enough and you will see in the final round whether you are lucky or not at all.

You are right and what you are giving is a clear example of what really happens with casinos and the people who frequent them, what many can do is Frequent a casino to see how they can learn , how other people play and how they can establish bond of Friendship with people , but that is very personal however you want to see it, in online casinos you can also make friends, it is very easy, but there are times when people are not so nice to someone, simply because of the fact that they are being what they are, personally I have Always said something when a person is close to doing any type of things in the casino they have to see that, if the person is very and concentrated playing, they should not be careless, any bad move cannot be blamed on you, if the person that you see you want to go there with her, it's only if she gives you the option to enter, otherwise I think it's not possible, and it's better that way.

In online casinos there is the Option of Chatting where basically the eproans give their opinion, joke around, have a good time, others merely talk about the juice, and that's it, they stick to just that, but I think there are many possibilities in the game. When it comes to slots, I think that's very tricky, because most people want to play games, and if Someone tries to talk to them, first they will interrupt their Concentration, then they will stone if they are not yours , They'll either let you know or they'll just ignore you, that's what happens to some people when they don't want to talk to you, some don't even respond to them, so these types of Things are what we're going to take into consideration, each of these has a way to being, a way of acting and a way of integrating, it is in ourselves how we can open Ourselves to a casino Community , or to a person in particular, casinos are good for that, sometimes socializing or something, but With great care , any Bad move wouldn't make a Person lose.

I don't think there is any potential to socialize with others when you chose an online platform for your activities, still there is a live chat option where player can interact with others who are online but most people don't really want to socialize via gambling platform. Because we have tons of social media apps for that same purpose where people interaction is the only thing they do.

I don't think any player would think about socializing with other players online in casino games. their goal is to play and the focus is definitely on the game.
it will be different when we play offline gambling. Interaction with other players may also be aimed at psychological attacks or disturbing the opponent's concentration of play.
but for online games, interaction is not important. just focus on playing and get our luck.

When we go to the physical casino with friends, we will enjoy gambling and have more fun as compared to the online gambling or going to the casino alone with no one to give us company. Gambling in the presence of friends, may not let us concentrate much on gambling but then who cares about the concentration, when winning in gambling depends upon the luck, and not on the dedication we give to the gambling.

it will be different when we play offline gambling. Interaction with other players may also be aimed at psychological attacks or disturbing the opponent's concentration of play.

Yes, online gambling can give you more concentration as here you can gamble will full dedication and no one can distract your attention. There may be benefits to this but you won't have fun that you will get when you are gambling with friends in a physical casino.
Also, gambling alone can make you get addicted to gambling too and it can have bad effects on your health if you gamble in excess. Also, since no one is with you you can over spend in gambling while when you are with friends, someone may give you advice to gamble or quit for the day.

Infact I enjoyed socialising with my online forks than my physical forks, even if we visit the casino together, reason being that, I like privacy and for that I won't want anyone knowing how much I won or lose at some point, but if it online, the secret is up to you and no one else, you only tell someone that I want about either your winnings or loses sometimes.

That makes sense, as playing and socializing at online casinos allows you to do so from the comfort of your home. The convenience of use, in my opinion, may boost sociability since it allows players to interact without being restricted by a physical space.
Because face-to-face encounters can be intimidating at times, I believe that the privacy offered by online platforms will enable people to socialize without the strain of in-person conversations. For people who might feel better at ease expressing themselves online, this sense of privacy may be alluring.
Furthermore, because online gaming sites are always available, socializing possibilities will always be available. In contrast, real casinos might only be open for a certain number of hours. Consequently, in online gambling, you are free to wager whenever and any time you like.
 

[Westinhome]

The world is transformed online and that is why we have almost everything online, and so much also we have better social connections online compared to the physical socialization process, because with online casinos, you have what we call the chat room, in this room, everything as regards to the group and other life relavance topics are discuesed and from that place, players communicate and socialise with each other, and even make personal friendships and contacts exchange.

Infact I enjoyed socialising with my online forks than my physical forks, even if we visit the casino together, reason being that, I like privacy and for that I won't want anyone knowing how much I won or lose at some point, but if it online, the secret is up to you and no one else, you only tell someone that I want about either your winnings or loses sometimes.

The new era was born with the online platform,many works now was done by the Artificial Intelligence.Some gambler also using the AI for the betting,but it was against the rules of gambling site.It’s hard to predict the outcome of the gambling betting,because the gambling site was created in the way of hard predictable one.The gamblers who had huge knowledge in the gambling industry were able to make money from the gambling sites.The gamblers should keep their strategies as the secret one,because the strategy of one gamblers will not suit to the game of the other gamblers.So use your own strategy to make money using the gambling sites.

[kojektea]

I personally rarely socialize in online gambling, and I don't really pay attention to global chat. If you want to gamble and socialize, it's better to gamble physically with your friends or relatives who also have a hobby of gambling, rather than going to a physical gambling place, for In my opinion, they only interfere with concentration, causing us to lack focus in the game

What are you talking about? Using AI to gamble in the usual casino games makes little sense. Maybe you could use it for Black Jack or for statistical analysis for sports betting, but that's pretty much it and I can't see how any online casino could prevent that.
And outcome is not hard to predict in online casino games if you know the house edge (any respectable casino should be informing their players of such). You might not know the outcome of each individual game, but you will know the expected long-term outcome.
Strategy is either good or useless, and either works for any player or for none.

[Hispo]

I believe that whether casinos wanted to improve the social aspects of their gambling floors they could do it with some investment and setting places for gambling games with PVP components or even setting areas within the casino for gamblers to talk to each other while doing activies which could be unrelated to gambling.
The issue is that I do not believe casinos are truly interested in getting people to interact much with one another, to be honest. Because in the ideal case for casinos, gamblers would step into their facilities, gamble and then leave without much hassle or problems. The interaction part between gamblers can be either positive but also negative, specially if there is access to alcoholic beverages.

Some gamblers seem to prefer to stick to their session and not to talk too much with other gamblers who are strangers, I have specially noticed the lack of social behavior in gamblers who have as favorite games both slots and video poker. Those who like poker and blackjack tend to interact more with others. To each their own, I guess.

I would personally like to make friends while having a drink at the casino bar, even though I know that is kind of unlikely to happen.

The socialization aspect of online gambling is not necessary and I don't know why the OP explains the dialer tells every gambler to be active in chat, but we need a specific explanation about the kaisno site he is using because there are no rules that require users to be active in chat. I rarely monitor the chat unless the gambling system has an error then I will see complaints from other gamblers in the chat.

Even offline gambling does not require a social aspect to interact with other gamblers, but the social aspect is not an important factor in gambling because we have to focus on gambling.

Really alot have changed with this generation and many works are now done by third party artificial tools and for social it will bring alot of development and progress on the long run, but also I will like to know if we have some AI that can work on gambling because it quite a while now since we have being discussing here in the forum on the ability of AI to effect changing to the overall gambling experience since casinos have their own system on place that determine the probability fairness and what it stands to offers.

This is why, the usage or promotion of AI haven't gained alot of awareness lately and also haven't make any big significant impact to the overall outcome of gambling games, at some point in times.

That's not the primary aim of gambling and shouldn't bother any player. The main aim is to be active and make meaningful predictions. Other factors are secondary and wouldn't make any difference for the gambler whether he associates with gamblers or not. There is no rule about that. Maybe the Op participated in a live game where their opinion would be needed for a specific reason. It's not wrong for a dealer to let them discuss or chat online. However, it's not meant to be a rule, it's just a voluntary decision for the gambler. The fun part is only reasonable if we go with our friends for the purpose of getting fun while playing game of luck. There the players can align with other gamblers and build a strong network for the day, able to create enough fun for them. Once the day is over, they may go home to gamble online is the urge to gamble still drags the gambler. So, offline casinos, shouldn't be neglected because of online casinos. If the player is not able to get what he wants online, he can easily go offline and feed himself with new conversation from other gamblers.

The decision between the two depends on what each gambler values in their gambling experience. Offline casinos offer the opportunity for socializing with other gamblers that can create a more interactive atmosphere. This should also be one of the motivation to enjoy gambling activity. Online casinos have gained popularity due to the convenience they provide, the ability to gamble from the comfort of home and the flexibility to engage in other activities simultaneously.

The allure of slot games is well-understood with the visual appeal and the potential for substantial winnings can be enticing for many gamblers. The changing dynamics of the gambling landscape is significant, with the rise of online casinos offering new conveniences that attract a growing number of players. Balancing the desire for convenience with responsible gambling practices is key for a satisfying and sustainable gambling experience.

That's what makes many people still often visit offline casinos because they still want to experience the fun of gambling with other gamblers and socializing with them. Meeting many gamblers in offline casinos makes offline casinos increasingly crowded with people whose aim is to gamble, have fun and also win their gambling games. They gamble together and miss many of the interesting moments they get at the casino so they will keep returning to the offline casino.

The appeal of slot games really tempts people to keep coming back to play them because they can expect to make big fortunes after playing slots for a while. But if they are not lucky, they can continue playing slots and this is what often causes people to lose a lot of money playing slots. Casinos also know that gamblers are very curious about winning and gambling games, so they always try to provide the best to their gamblers and add many new games to their place.

Always falls on someones preference on where they would really be planning on playing on which there are ones who do love on playing online and there are ones who do love to play on physically.

It would really be just that depending into someone because not all would really be falling out with the same interest and this is something that would really be that much needed.
There are really those people who are really just that skeptical on playing into those venues just because of some hesitation or really just not that available.
There are ones who do really make some switch up according into their mood.

In my case then this is what im doing on which on the time that i would really be liking on playing into physical ones then i do it and on other
day which i do feel on playing online then i do also do it, it varies.

Yes, that's true because when choosing a casino, people will determine it based on what they want. Therefore, we still see many people gambling at each casino, both physical and online casinos because people have found which casinos they think are fun to gamble at.

If people previously gambled at a physical casino but then moved to an online casino, they definitely have a reason why they moved and that is up to them. Those who choose a casino, even if someone advises them to use a physical or online casino, will still look at the casino first and then decide which casino they want to gamble at. But some people also use both types of casinos because they find enjoyment in both types of casinos.

I prefer online crypto casinos because they provide a lot of convenience for me. I don't need to leave the house or deposit fiat from my bank account. I can gamble anytime and anywhere.

[Kliss]

Going to gambling centers,(casino, sports betting etc) it is more sociable than gambling online, And it's interesting and funfull at casino game center than than gambling online.
Online gambling, is more of individual thing and privacy. I think if they can create online platforms were gamblers online can be playing games online and  interact making like gambling centers it will increase the sociality of online gambling.

Depending on the game the social aspect can be quite important, if you are playing poker live and you are chatting with the rest of the players, and suddenly one of them has a change on their attitude, this can be an indication that the cards they received are very good and you can take the necessary actions during that particular round to deal with that player, so do not minimize the importance of the social aspect in gambling, since there are many instances in which it can save you from making a poor decision.

Those are situational basis on which you could really be able to take advantage but of course not all would really be loving on taking those fake reactions or trying out to bluff because there are really those
people who would really be showing up their real reactions basing up into their emotions on which you cant really be able to make assurance that those reactions were totally opposite. This is why it wont really be a guarantee that it would be a sure thing that could benefit you in terms of game strategy but i do really love on how these socialization been dont through online. How much more on offline?
The best thing i do prefer on offline or physical is that you could really be making those real interactions with people around and plus the ambiance or noise around while you are
playing on which it do really increase out that overall pleasure.

[Fortify]

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.

There is probably good reason that casinos limit the amount of discussion between players, at least from the companies perspective, because you tend to have a stream of people losing money and getting angry at their decisions. That does not make for a particularly welcoming, happy and friendly environment for discussion. Beyond that they would have to pay for extra staff to keep an eye on the conversations because things can tend to get wild if left alone. People will come up with all sorts of ideas to get around chat blocks that might censor certain keywords, but you can also end up with spamming of links or scams that will pervade - that could result in people losing their accounts. That element of social engineering would just open up too many liabilities and little benefit to these online casinos.

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?

I don't think any casino is lacking anything for not creating that inevitable mutualism between fellow gamblers... If some secret dms and open interactions could be made, it'll trigger people into sharing their experiences -- good or bad -- and that might get the other person on Thier high heels for safety reasons.
creating a social bond on casinos could also not be a regrettable decision to make.. but I feel the "unnecessary interactions" is basically the reasons why some peeps would wanna avoid land-based casinos...
