Renaissance!
As the years go by, gambling evolved from being a p2p thing to its present state.. developers only kept thinking of how they could ease, entice and populate so Many countries with their own form of gambling.. so they reinvented the same interface and settings in land based casinos on an app.
Gamblers also had anonymity problems as a family member or relative could see you in a pool house, tryna pick up the fixtures for the weekends. There and then, you become a threat to the growing ones
The development has convinced atleast 40% rookies into gambling, which has inturn generated much more funds for the gambling industries.
What I think is we're currently in a digital phase, where technology have helped enhanced different aspect of life including the gambling sector, the Internet with the help of social media has become a big tool for online casino to attract customers without going into the street to create awareness of their business, it's also made it easy for people to register online an bet easily with just Internet. It's provided privacy thereby making gamblers anonymous from their families knowing about their gambling habits, people would easily bet comfortably at home with their gadgets without anyone knowing what they're doing. If you noticed the number of gamblers worldwide have increased ever since technology made gambling go online and easy for people to participate on without going to the casino or betting shop.
If we talk about the times then yes, now the digital world has experienced a very significant development, which as you said that yes, the benefits are quite a lot, starting from making it easier for us to shop for something without having to go to the market, or other things such as paying a bill where we can make payments using only a smart phone without having to go to the service office. Similarly, when we talk about gambling, it is clear that most gamblers are those who are involved in the type of online casino because however we cannot close our eyes that with the existence of online casinos it is very easy for us to bet whenever and wherever as long as we have money to bet using a smart phone or laptop intermediary connected to the internet network.
Yes, everything I said above is the convenience of doing things because of the technology that has developed, but if we talk about the negative side, it is clear that with this convenience, especially in accessing gambling, of course this situation also causes more people to experience big problems in their lives as experienced by those irresponsible gamblers or who treat gambling in an unreasonable way, or this ease of gambling makes gamblers even more excessive because there is no time limit unlike when you gamble in a physical casino, and also on the other hand with this convenience, children who are still underage have a high probability of falling into gambling because most children now prefer to play cellphones after school rather than playing with their friends.
