Online Gambling : Next Generation Challenges

[robelneo]

This was discussed in the Next.io conference held in New York. They said that online gambling will be more targeted and at the same time it become more of a social activity. Right now we see that an online gambler is gambling in solo with no social connections but this could change in future.

Do they launch a feasibility? is that what majority of online gamblers want, Cryptocurrency online casinos have become popular because of the anonymity they offer to the gamblers and some gamblers just want to separate their gambling activity from social media, It is something to look forward to if this will be accepted by the majority of gamblers, but could be a good option for those sociable gamblers.

The online gambling companies have to reform themselves as this will be a new demand from the young generation who are coming to online gambling and they need socialization also while gambling (like we used to have in physical gambling).

Unless we see a model platform we can't decide if this is the next big thing but so far the current model is what the majority of gamblers are accepting, the gambling industry is a multi-billion dollar business and it is expected for companies to introduce innovation to get a slice of the market.

It has been seen long time ago.

The actual games like RPGs, MOBA and any other type of game, there's a possible gambling and betting that can be integrated with it. I think that's one of the social change that they're talking about.

And there will be more in the future depending on where this technology that we have right now is going to change our way of dealing through the casinos.

Yeah, but this new breed of casinos are thinking that they might want to be more sociable, so they will have to developed new inventions that will make this happen. It might take a lot of money from them like VR which will be the new frontier for gamblers. And I think it will be a success though for gamblers. But not sure how it will affect the traditional based casino. I'm not saying that it might affect them as the experience is gambling is shifting, but who knows, maybe their profits will be affected in a negative way if online casinos will have to find a way to have the same experience for gamblers like playing in land base casinos.

It can still be united with the games through VR or they'll dedicate something inside that game like an online place to play casino.

I think that sandbox or any of that type of project, I've seen something like that. Actually, I like the whole concept of it because we can see that there's an endless potential for everything nowadays if it's about online.

Not just all about casinos but the entirety of businesses and other things where people interact with each other.

[wiss19]

This means one thing that gambling will be more spread worldwide with easy access knowing that in the past you need to go in casino houses to gamble but now everyone of any ages and genders can gamble easily.
and we know how this will affect the world living and only gambling owners will benefits from this and some governments and those corrupt officials.
this is something i am not proud off.

Gambling is already popular even before and some of the features they are planning to implement here are already given, except maybe to a few of it. Therefore you might be right that it will help gambling to be more wide-spread. They mentioned younger generations there but I think it does not mean that they will now allow young people who are not yet in their legal age. They are also pushing socialization here.

I think this is not only limited from chatting to other gamblers but also by using our body to play the game. This has a positive effect but as usual, the gamblers must learn to have a self control because everything that is too much are not good anymore.

[moneystery]

their goal is to make gambling more social, engaged and targeted, which is quite a good thing, because it will make gamblers more open to the outside world and allow them to socialize with people from various backgrounds. it could also possibly change the stigma that online gambling is individualistic, and it could be something that helps young people open up and find gambling something interesting.

but this can also be something worrying, because when it becomes more social, it means that there will be more young people involved in gambling and maybe this will give rise to new problems such as addiction and underage gambling, and other problems. this should also be taken into account.

[YOSHIE]

The online gambling companies have to reform themselves as this will be a new demand from the young generation who are coming to online gambling and they need socialization also while gambling (like we used to have in physical gambling).

I think the challenge of the younger generation who carry out activities in online gambling, is different from the socialization that has been carried out in physical casinos, yes, this cannot be denied because physical casinos can directly meet users socially.

But there is nothing wrong if the Microsoft Starf application carries out outreach to young people who are involved in gambling, of course this will have a positive impact on young people in carrying out their gambling activities, Regardless of whether they will follow socialization instructions that have an impact on addiction or not, the point is that we hope that young people will still have control and be professionals in gambling.

[Nwada001]

This idea is good and it will be very fun for gamblers but personally I think it is going to give rise to thousands of distracted youths who will lose interest in their dreams and will all be addicted to gambling more than this generation. That is the advantage that the development will cause. With the normal way of online gambling, there are millions of addicted gamblers and when this new idea is launched it will give room for more addicted gamblers.

This is so true. Have you heard about the game called COD (call of duty) and the way the game is programmed in such a way that the players from different areas and locations can be able to communicate with one another?
 
They can be playing and having social interactions both on voice chat and live chat, and this part of the game is what has made the game very addicting among those who are playing it, as they get both fun from playing the game and from interacting with one another.
 
Just imagine when this is also made available on an online casino. Most people will definitely don't want to do any other thing aside from spending the rest of their day at that casino chating with friends and placing bets on their favourite games.

That idea that you are talking about seems very good to me, although for it to be implemented in any case it seems to me that it is somewhat difficult, this is because of the culture that exists regarding casinos, that the players seek to play something that has a result of winning or losing quickly. , those are games that are focused on strategy and that have a nature index that is very focused on PVP, so I don't know if the majority of people who go to the casino go with the intention of having an experience more focused on adventure and strategies.

But in gambling you could say that there are many branches, the branch of gamblers who are focused on this type of games which is a very large community worldwide, when they see that they can win money I am sure that those players will come to play to the casino, but conservative players will always play the games that they like, such as slots, roulette, among others, as well as those platforms that have sports betting.

These games, if implemented in a casino, would be opening up to a much larger community and it could be said that the casino would be expanding to a new range of games of chance, not bad, because it is more money for the casinos.

[justdimin]

this can also be something worrying, because when it becomes more social, it means that there will be more young people involved in gambling and maybe this will give rise to new problems such as addiction and underage gambling, and other problems. this should also be taken into account.

I don't find anything worrying in that. It's the responsibility of parents and elders to keep young people away from things such as gambling because they are not good for them, but gambling becoming more social and engaging shouldn't encourage younger people to gamble or open the doors for them. It should just be a way for upcoming generations to make the online gambling experience more enjoyable and entertaining than it is right now.

If there can be ways for online gambling to become more social and engaging, there should be ways to control and prevent underage gambling as well and I believe it shouldn't be that difficult to put some filters or something to prevent young people from gambling and getting addicted to it.

I think this is not only limited from chatting to other gamblers but also by using our body to play the game.

The new challenge in gambling industry may target every aspect of a gambler to keep getting in. I expect more severe level of addiction could be observed among future gamblers and how they would be self discipline would decide the entire fate of future gambling industry.

Yeah. The push to make online gambling more social sounds promising, offering a chance for players to connect and enjoy the experience together. It could definitely help shake off the idea that gambling is a lonely activity. Yet there's a flip side to consider. With more social interaction, there's a worry that younger folks might get drawn in, potentially leading to addiction or underage gambling. It's a balancing act between making gambling fun and ensuring it doesn't become a problem for vulnerable groups. Safety measures and responsible gaming practices will be crucial as this shift unfolds

Even if online gambling is designed to be more social some gamblers will not want to interact with others when they gamble online. I think gambling is a personal thing and so it can be both a social and a solitary activity, depending on the individual’s preferences and circumstances. While some gamblers enjoy gambling as a medium for interaction with friends or in a group setting, others may choose to gamble alone. The nature of gambling itself does not inherently dictate whether it is a lonely activity or not; rather, it is influenced by the choices and behaviours of the gambler in question.

Some gamblers especially introverts prefer to gamble alone as it allows them to focus on the game without distractions or social interactions. They may find solitude in the concentration required for certain types of gambling activities. I think even if there is a improvement in online gambling, not all gamblers will embrace this change.

[o48o]

Social gambling does not work. It has been tried so many times, and every attempt has failed. It was the next big thing 15 years ago, it's the next big thing still. That should tell you everything.

Maybe explain what you mean by that. There are literal poker tournaments and poker is more popular then ever. Talking in poker is part of any live game as you need to figure out if people are bluffing or not. There have been physical casinos where people can gather, drink and interact. So what other attempts there have been that have failed?

What ever you mean, after reading the article and it doesn't look like even them have figured out how to do this, and what they mean by targeting other then advertising, or what "engaging" and "social" would even look like.

But ihmo this is a natural step, social media turned out to be huge, and i've seen people participating to table games because they are lonely, so obviously someone is trying to cash in with that. Online casino chats and forums are pretty popular and unrelated to gambling; some people even pay money for other people interacting with them friendly. And it's not like you are chatting with your IRL friends in social media about gambling. People would either judge you or got envious about winnings, if they would even be interested. And there are numerous other reasons why it would be a bad idea to talk about winnings and finances in face or insta. Or places like that.

Old people in here used to play slots just so they could talk to people playing next to them. I am not saying that exploiting loneliness would be morally right, especially when some of these people are addicts. But as long as it's legal, i totally get why it will be exploited.

The level of social interaction involved can vary greatly from one individual to another. Some people prefer to socialize in large groups while others enjoy more intimate gatherings, individual preferences play a significant role in how people approach gambling. Introverted people like the solitary nature of gambling that can be appealing as it allows them to immerse themselves fully in the experience without external distractions or pressures.

Gambling is also a form of escapism or relaxation for many people. Engaging in solitary gambling allows them to unwind and decompress without the need for social interaction. It provides a space where they can temporarily disconnect from the outside world and immerse themselves in the thrill of the game. Gambling alone affords gamblers a sense of autonomy and control over their gaming experience. They can set their own pace, make decisions without external influence, and manage their resources according to their own preferences and strategies. This sense of independence can be empowering for some gamblers. Some people may be resistant to integrating social features into their gambling routine. They prefer to maintain the solitary nature of their gaming activities.

Not sure if the forecast from the CEO of Five Street Gaming is qualified to get our attention, I mean I didn't know the company until I read this thread. Anyway, the trend of social gaming can be seen also in the video games industry, with more games offering online features, such as PvP, Party, etc. However, there is still a huge market for single-player games as well... The market won't converge into "social gambling" but is more segmented. Yes, there is more demand for social gambling, but there will be more demand for solo gambling or even anonymous gambling as well. He said what he said, was just because he wanted to promote his product.

[Hispo]

So, if we are talking about making gambling a more social activity in some way, it means those casinos who are involved in this conference could have plans to introduce new games or new game modes into the market which could be multiplayer or involve several people at the same time. It does not have to be Poker or other clasical card games which we have already seen, though.
When I think about social gambling, something like what Facebook did back in the day comes to mind, games which can be played at the same time by several people who happen to be online at the same time in the online casino. In that aspect, I believe Facebook was ahead for it's time, despite those games having little to do with gambling as we see it on actual online casinos.

I have got this idea, on having some kind of multiplayer slot where people with a similar wager can play at the same time and those who manage to win the most by the end of the session also gets part of the wager of those who are their foes. It would be interesting even though the casino would be sacrificing a fraction of their potential profits for the sake of attracting more gamblers to their platform. It would be worth it if the volume is high enough.

Social gambling is going to be a lot more limited in the age of AI. Back when gaming was booming as an investment space quite a few platforms tried to monetize players betting on their own matches for a win for instance. So long as both players in an esports team had equal incentives and maybe some gift added on top like a skin, the problem of intentionally throwing the match wouldn't be that much of an issue. But the problem here is that now AI is capable of doing many more things like playing poker, playing games, turning out live video and face swap... So it's a tough match for gambling platforms. Where there's money, expect there to be cheaters as well.

The feature I'm eager to see with more social gambling though, is better player to player communication. For instance if I see in a table with big stakes I'd like to be able to see others sitting there too. Some poker sites used to offer that, but apparently it wasn't very popular. It would take a lot of moderation to achieve also so probably that's the reason companies like Evolution haven't invested in anything like this for their tables. And also it was obvious that the so called metaverse is also at a very immature phase.

But surely if a casino wanted to they could feature some games in existing MMOs that support adequate modding, even minecraft. It surely has been done before in minecraft and Garry's Mod.

[Yatsan]

Socializing while gambling depends on gambler's preference. Some are not into it because they're more focused with the games they bet into. Their focus would be divided instead of just minding what should they bet their money with. But indeed some gamblers find joy with social relations whenever they are playing however it won't be the same experience as with land based casinos no matter how a gambler would want to. Also, I don't get the point that new generation should be more encouraged into gambling. Well, indeed if it is for entertainment then there's nothing wrong with their engagement. However I do still believe that if you are not really into embracing risk, better avoid gambling. Not all people could manage the risks, and negative emotions you will be having while gambling. Gambling will only be profitable if you'd either be lucky or become sufficient with your bets which require high level of self discipline. Money itself is a huge drive which could 'change' an individual's perception of the do's and dont's. Even if they are losing, people will still continue pushing the better outcome in which no one has full control of.

their goal is to make gambling more social, engaged and targeted, which is quite a good thing, because it will make gamblers more open to the outside world and allow them to socialize with people from various backgrounds. it could also possibly change the stigma that online gambling is individualistic, and it could be something that helps young people open up and find gambling something interesting.

but this can also be something worrying, because when it becomes more social, it means that there will be more young people involved in gambling and maybe this will give rise to new problems such as addiction and underage gambling, and other problems. this should also be taken into account.

It's a balancing act between making gambling fun and ensuring it doesn't become a problem for vulnerable groups. Safety measures and responsible gaming practices will be crucial as this shift unfolds

Indeed, it is not because we want this industry to stop and not welcome other potential gamblers and deprive them of the enjoyment many of us are having. But rather the idea of not encouraging them to do so. Gambling will still be entertaining to those who are into risk taking feelings even without this socialization. A new and better experience could make things more accessible but that shouldn't mean that everyone should really be a part of it.

This was discussed in the Next.io conference held in New York. They said that online gambling will be more targeted and at the same time it become more of a social activity. Right now we see that an online gambler is gambling in solo with no social connections but this could change in future.

The online gambling companies have to reform themselves as this will be a new demand from the young generation who are coming to online gambling and they need socialization also while gambling (like we used to have in physical gambling).

There is no way we can ever compare online gambling and physical gambling, these two are very different across all levels and management. If I'm ask on personal level, I will love to run an online gambling than even the physical platforms because of management, you need people to do all the set up for you when you can do everything with just a click with away, you also need to be strick because of debts and improper management but online is different, people don't get to steal from you because everything is track in real time especially now that we have blockchain activities. On the customer side of satisfaction, you can't provide all that for the customer unless the chat room where people get to talk, you can't create that social life for gamblers.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

It's interesting to see how gambling change over the years. I, myself discovered gambling via online since it's much more convenient. Cannot wait to see VR where you can gamble and meet new people like you are really inside a casino. It would be fun and more immersive experience for me since I haven't really had stepped my foot inside a real casino. But still there are good and bad side of this kinds of technology. We should not get easily carried away especially younger gamblers nowadays to still gamble responsibly.

[Bitcoin_people]

I think it is definitely right because the way gambling platforms are currently sponsored in various social media can be said for sure that it is threatening and dangerous for the next generation. The way online casinos are spreading now, although not so much in social media, but in the coming days and the next generation will easily get involved in online gambling. And when the next generation of people are attracted to gambling in all these sophisticated ways, they can become even more addicted. Today many online gambling addicts can be lonely even if a person does not socialize with anyone all day.
In terms of the current position we see online gambling, if we think about the future, we will definitely see that it is going to take a terrible shape. Moreover, most of the damage will be caused by the way various social media continue to promote, children are attracted to gambling and they will definitely bet for money. And seeing all these online gambling trends, it can be assumed that the next generation will try to improve more and they will forget the sociality and instead get the touch of modernity and all these online winnings will be addictive.

That is a normal settings in online game now that the whole world i being joined in
those games , and besides from 20th century online games all has this feature.

They can be playing and having social interactions both on voice chat and live chat, and this part of the game is what has made the game very addicting among those who are playing it, as they get both fun from playing the game and from interacting with one another.

well Live chat is limited for now but live voice chat is very normal from other
games in the past.

Just imagine when this is also made available on an online casino. Most people will definitely don't want to do any other thing aside from spending the rest of their day at that casino chating with friends and placing bets on their favourite games.

this is why live chat is not that allowed in online casino because this can also
be the start of cheating or something irregular to happen.
