Which device do you prefer for gambling ?

[MainIbem]

A lot of gambling sites have emerged during and after the Covid-19 era and a lot of people have since then joined the gambling community.
We now have a wider audience who likes to gamble on desktop, laptop, mobile phone etc...
This poll is to see the most preferred device for gambling which I assume should be desktop as it provides a bigger screen and better user experience than any other device.
But a lot of people prefer mobile phones too and so lets just hit it and see what the actual results are.

For me it doesn't matter the device whether on a big screen or my phone, what matter is the location where I am at the point when I want to gamble, if am at home, I'll prefer to use my laptop or connect my phone to the smart TV to make it more bold so I'll see the odds very clearly but then since I can't take my laptop or television everywhere I go then my phone would the best option when I'm outside maybe at a bar with friends, or a gathering cause I could easily sit comfortable with it anywhere and make my predictions. Also my phone is the most used gadget by for gambling since I carry it along everywhere I go but then I really love the experience I get from my smart TV cause it gives me a clear vision on the odds of teams I'm betting on.

Definitely prefer a desktop type setup, because I've had very bad experience with mobile gaming in the past. I've found that desktop versions are also designed to be much more feature risk in comparison as well, as settings that I've found on the PC are entirely missing when I want to use them on my phone. This is most obvious in a game like poker, where there is limited screen space and a bunch of convenience features like bet sizing can often be missing on a smaller screen. It also helps to avoid the possibility of drop outs, when you're playing poker this can start to get very costly as other players may identify when you have disconnected and push a small bet to gain a large profit that you otherwise would have taken.

It is understandable that based from the poll, a lot are preferring the desktop option. If I want better experience and I am not in a hurry, I also play mostly in front of my desktop or laptop. I like when the screen is big enough for me to see what's going on with my game.

But for people who are always on the go, most definitely, they will opt for their smartphones. These days, most online casinos have their online app. And the younger generation also tend to use their phones most of the time.

I am seeing that Desktop is leading and I think it’s not supposed to be because Mobile phones are really used more. This is because there are apps built for easy access. I am curious how so many people use desktop. Or probably it is centered on what kind of game it is because certain games may be better with a bigger view.

Well the mobile phone is definitely the more preferable for me and that's because I don't take my gambling habit all that serious and believe the moment I start reflecting my habits in the big screen of the monitor then I will presume I have taken it up a notch and by that I mean serious business and knowing fully well the danger around it, I wouldn't call it a good practice at all.

I use my mobile phone. I can do everything with smartphones. I can do my banking with my mobile phone. I can check my emails. I can access forums. I can follow the price of cryptocurrencies. I use my mobile phone when I gamble, just like I do everything else. I think phones are now good enough to do many things. Also, I can carry it with me all day, so I can follow the bets more easily. I'm almost certain that the phone option will get the most votes when the poll is finalized.

I prefer using a desktop because it's easier to multi-task (watching streams, checking out betting group chats, looking up stats, etc.), and in sports betting you always want to avoid having slow internet mainly if you bet on live odds.

I also use my phone to gamble, but the experience is a pain with the 2FA (login, transactions, device verification, etc.) that i'd rather wait until I can get to my desktop or place my bets in advance.

One thing is certain everyone has his or her own perception about what is right or wrong but in this case I will say that all devices are good for gambling especially the ones mentioned in the list. But most it depends on ones location at times, your current position could determine the type of device you're to use.

While at home I think I will prefer using the computers where it's a laptop or desktop I just will like to use the desktop version and it also gives me a good privacy as it's not good for people to see some kind of activities one does. Although gambling may not be that bad but from my background and environment it's quiet bad as my parents don't like anything that has to do with gambling that shapes my gambling life a bit so since none has access to my PC I like to use them more when I'm at home as it seems I'm doing my regular stuff mean while I might be Gambling on any of the online casinos.

But when I'm in an uncomfortable or an environment where my laptop will be inconvenient for me to use I just use the mobile phone which is what I use every day to gamble infact most of my gambling that I have won has been on my mobile devices as I don't usually expect a win it only comes when it comes (lucky times). So I prefer it than settling down to gamble mean while gambling is not a job for that seriousness.

Just separate it into two, handheld and Desktop/Laptop imo. I usually use my desktop PC, my phone is solely 100% for reading, whether it be framework documents, novels, random books I bought off of Amazon and read on Kindle. I do play on my work PC though, part of IT so I can bypass most of the restrictions that my team has set . Well I just learned to do that since the team before already practiced doing such stuff when nothing is going on at work.

Plus, I can multi-task with Desktops, unlike handheld ones.

I think another reason why people may choose to use a desktop to gamble is that it'll help one maintain some level of control, meaning that, you'll only be able to gamble when you're in your home and on your desktop.
Because if you use your phone to gamble, you'll have the opportunity to gamble anywhere and anytime which can actually contribute to excessive gambling and could often lead to addiction... I think it's important to regulate how accessible you are to gambling and using a desktop from your home rather than your mobile phone would really help in doing that.

I myself like to gamble on the desktop because with a wide screen display it will certainly be fun when gambling and however this is not possible if the environment where we live does not like people who gamble so we have to look for a special place to be able to gamble on Deksto, gambling using a cellphone will of course make it easier for us to access gambling anywhere and other people will not be able to find out if they don't see directly what we are doing with our cellphone.

Actually my answer depends on where I feel comfortable gambling at.

Initially, I chose laptop since that is the main gadget that I have at my home. I also use my laptop for all online purposes which definitely includes gambling online. But whenever I feel bored or just want to take a quick game of gambling to test out my luck, I usually hit the bed and use my mobile phone for some mobile-friendly applications in gambling.

I would actually, prefer, to gamble using a tablet if I have one. It functions similarly to a mobile phone but with the access of a larger screen and a good display. Since the user-interface (UI) of online gambling websites to a mobile phone is similar to a tablet, the latter would be more convenient and fun especially if you play card games on such device.

[Hirose UK]

In my opinion, how to use it will really depend on where and what the conditions are when deciding to gamble, not all software can be freely used by most gamblers.
If are outside the home, cell phone is the most efficient choice for carrying out gambling activities, plus nowadays the specifications of cell phones are really sophisticated and can access all sites quickly.
But if I at home and really relaxing to play some games, the desktop is the device I always use because it can give the impression of playing more fun and feels like playing in casino with gaming machine.

Everything will have its own advantages and disadvantages, besides that each gambler use is also different so they will only use what they think is easier and more efficient.

[Poker Player]

I prefer laptop. Most sites are adapted to cell phones and I see mostly young people betting with them but I prefer the wide screen of a computer. And if you want to play poker seriously it is a must to be able to play several tables and run the necessary software, like PTR. But even when I have played casino games, such as slots, which you can do quietly from the mobile, I have preferred laptop.

Some websites that were designed many years ago don’t really scale well on mobile devices. There are also newer casinos that are better optimized for mobile and have larger UI elements. There isn’t necessarily one device which is always better but it will just depend on which website you are on.

A phone or tablet gives you more freedom to move around so for convenience it is a better option.

[retreat]

I prefer to play on desktop and tablet, because these two devices are very suitable for gambling, especially when outside, a tablet will be my best choice for gambling. The reason I didn't choose a smartphone as my favorite device for gambling was because the screen was quite small, so it was difficult for me to navigate or play. As for tablets and desktops, both of these devices have enough screens for gambling or while multitasking looking at other things, so it won't be a hassle for me.

I use a laptop more often because this is the device that I use more often in my daily activity because my previous mobile phone had very low specifications so it would be problematic if I played using a mobile phone, but when it comes to better specifications I'm still prefer laptop as my main choice because the screen display is better and also for the buttons navigation is very different from a mobile phone except that the casino already has special mobile features but the display will never be better than a laptop, maybe tables would be better than a mobile phone but I no longer have one, maybe I will try using that if I have tables because the screen is no different away from the laptop.

That's true, but most major casinos have developed mobile-friendly websites that scale on your smartphone's screen; thus, the number that hasn't is probably minor. Phones are the leading devices now; tablets are out of fashion, and their audience is shrinking. They don't serve any specific purpose, except for being larger than a smartphone. I personally use my phone and occasionally my personal computer (a laptop in this case). We do pretty much everything on our phones nowadays; if you were to ask me 3 to 4 years ago, I'd probably say the opposite; I used to spend quite some time in front of a computer screen.

I think the answer is obvious, mobile phone of course, as we know all people has mobile phone and all people choose the most convenient for them and as we know with thr use of mobile phone you can do anything at anytime and anywhere so I think mobile phone is the most used device in order to gamble, think of it, even you are in somewhere and you think of playing gambling with the use of your mobile phone and internet connection then you can entertain yourself which is very convenient, but of course all convenient could also have a disadvantage, with the use of mobile phone and easy access to gambling site anyone could become addicted to it and it will be hard for them to resist as we know its easy to play and access those gambling sites. Anyway, for my mobile phone, I prefer a mobile phone to any other that is listed.

for me, even though my vision is a bit blurry and I need a bigger screen for that, I will still choose to do online gambling on my mobile phone, why? Because for me, it gives me more privacy and if someone ever peeks into what I'm doing, it will be difficult for them to know what I'm really busy with, the desktop is also okay but it's more convenient to use the phone and I carry it with me everywhere I go so anytime I have access to the sites if ever I want to gamble when I have free time.

[Bitinity]

Most of the time, I do gamble when I'm at home only so Desktop/Laptop is my first choice for my gambling activities because it gives me bigger screen so it is more comfortable to gamble. Mobile phone is my second choice but I dont use my primary mobile phone because notifications (phone calls, messages, etc) may interrupt my gambling if I use my primary phone.
