Online casino over physical casinos, what are the reasons?

[Queentoshi]

By assumptions I think that online casinos as a business cost less to operate when compared to the cost of running physical casinos. And so, operational cost must be one of the reasons why most people interested in starting the casino business are choosing to open online casinos instead of the physical ones.

Most physical casinos already have online platform for those who will prefer playing online, any physical casino that doesn't have an online casino in this digital era is just fooling around because most gamblers do not want to be walking in to physical shops just to place bets when they can stay in the convenience of their homes and offices to stake bets. Operational cost doesn't seem like a problem for physical casino owners because they already have agents who can take care of those physical casino shops from the percentages they get from the casino owner.

Online casinos makes gambling easier in the sense that there are some features that the physical casinos might not offer but when you go to online casinos, you will see that those features are available. Another advantage of online casinos is that you can actually fund your account by yourself and play games at any time you wish, but physical casinos have closing time of operation, after which you can't gamble again till the next day.

The market depends on demand. There is more demand for online casinos so they are sprouting like mushrooms. People love gambling and once they start gambling, they can never stop. Similarly the new generation looks everything in their smartphones or computers. They even order a single cup of coffee online. They love online gambling, the safe and private way of having fun and no one judging you. Boys or Girls, Introvert or Extrovert, White or Black, everyone could enjoy gambling online without bias.
The cost cutting also depends on where the casinos are being registered, an online casino can register at a favorable jurisdiction and provide service worldwide. Though some countries forces them to be registered locally to operate.

Besides the cost and the reach, it's the profit. There are millions of gamblers online, and your online casino can be a money machine 24/7 because gamblers prefer to play online rather than offline casinos.
There's good profit to be made running an online casino, but the competition is very stiff; there are hundreds of online casinos and many more coming in.
Yes, the profit is good, but you have to be competitive, compared to the offline casino, which only covers one area; your casino should be everywhere where gambling ads are allowed online.

I think it is not true.

That they are virtual even makes them harder and more expensive to run. You know how much it cost to keep a software running? Did you consider the servers and how much they have to pay to keep their data there? Did you consider the licence renewal and upgrade of the games, maintenance of the website?

They cost money. You have to constantly watch your back against hackers. The cost is too many to number. More online casinos are popping up because they can attract more customers who are all over the World.

It's a double-edged sword.
Yes, you can reach everyone with an internet connection, but can you indeed convince him to play at your casino and make him stay and not switch to the other one hundred alternatives that look just like yours?
With a physical casino you're limited to the people that are physically there next to your location but at the same time you won't be losing clients to some other casino half the globe away.

The fact that casinos and RL slots are still widespread everywhere and still physical betting takes a lot of money at events like horse racing, where you would have the online option two clicks away, pretty much shows it's not always about costs, it's about catering to different customers.

Let me introduce you to the real estate in Europe, starting from 10 000 euros per sqm for a year in most of the city center capitals like London or Paris.
So 100 sqm, 1 mil, how much is that in servers?

Of course, besides the profit, it's the overall operational costs and minimal effort to manage online casinos. Online staff are not even half of what offline casinos employ.
Duplication is less expensive. If you plan to expand offline, you need to purchase a new lot, construction can take months and cost millions, whereas creating a new online sister casino can cost a few thousand pesos, and your casino is up in less than a week.
Online casinos are less of a hassle to set up and manage.

We cant be able to say about numbers but I did made out some search about some estimates.

Type   Startup Cost   Time to Launch   Scalability          Regulatory          Complexity             Physical Space Needed
Online Casino            $250K – $2M+    3–12 months      High                    Moderate to High    None
Offline Casino            $10M – $1B+      2–5 years          Low to Medium     Very High               Significant
Source

These are just estimates on which we know that each business owner will be having that different budget capability when building up a business.
We cant be able to tell that online is much profitable than offline. We do know that it will vary on the demand on which this will be that having that difference in between and serve out different markets.
The only thing here is that we are living in an era now that majority of people are on their smartphones now and this is where online gambling will be that relevant on which we do know the convenience
and easy access when trying out to play on.

Not sure why it's cheaper to run an online casino than a brick-and-mortar casino... because what I'm guessing is that the operational costs of online casinos are more expensive, especially in terms of security and so on, but behind it all we don't know the exact numbers.

Yeah it could be... the reason is to reach a large audience for online casinos and now it's a digital era where most people gamble online and whenever they want, so the demand for gambling in online casinos has increased enough compared to physical casinos.

For you to catch enough attention and that means that your casino must be at a strategic location which means getting the land alone is going to be of high cost, the you also have to think of putting up a well coordinated and conducive structure. All these alone are the startups and they would cost a fortune. Starting up an online casino is expensive but not as expensive as a physical casino and that's a fact

The different is that online casino is very simple to gamblers and sometimes you will gamble more than what you budgeted, but when you gamble offline, you have your money in your hand why in online you transfer from your bank account, and you may not know exactly what you have spent so far, other people may like online gambling but me I don't like online gambling because sometimes you may not be accountable on what you spent so far, why in offline gambling center you will know exact what you have sppend on betting in gambling, and that will make you to realise your limit in time, so that's what make me to dislike online gambling often betting, that will make you not know your limit

For sure, running the online casino is cheaper than the physical but then the both are put together at thesame time in the casino hall.

Do you think it is true?

Yes of course

Apart from the reason of being able to reach more gamblers, what other reasons do you think favors opening online casinos over the physical ones?

What favors them apart from reaching out to them is that It is convenient and easy to use. It is simple and stress free. That could be another reason apart from the first reason.

[r_victory]

Perhaps one of the factors is regulation. In my country, Brazil, casinos are currently prohibited from operating, but, on the other hand, online casinos, popularly known here as “As Bets”, are currently operating freely. In this case, I believe that if physical casinos are allowed to open, there is a possibility that many will open, since they can contribute positively to tourism and generate jobs and income for the population.

I think in terms of financial costing, they really save more in online casinos compared to physical casinos, they have already saved, and their market is still large because if before,
only middle class gamblers could go to land based casinos, now it's different.

From what I've noticed, it seems that online casinos have surpassed physical casinos because online casinos now reach all types of poor people, unlike physical casinos that used to have a membership that needed to be done before they could play at the casino, now online you just sign up and you can gamble at the casino even with a small amount.

IMO, it's possible.
The reason could be that physical casinos require large, often costly properties in prime locations, such as like Las Vegas, to attract visitors.  These expenses include leasing or purchasing the property, as well as building and maintaining expansive gaming floors.  Additionally, a substantial workforce is necessary, including dealers for each game table, security personnel, cleaning staff, maintenance crews, and food and beverage servers, along with on-site marketing teams.  Staffing needs scale directly with the size and capacity of the casino.

While an online casino only needs software development and platform maintenance, the latter also requires marketing.  I believe you only need two staff members to operate an online gambling casino, the developer and the marketing representative.

Nope not only that but for sure accessibility is one of the reason on why some businessman choose to build online casino rather than create a business which stays in one place only.

They can get global costumers for building a online casino and this is so profitable if they can operate it well. While running a physical casino where your target market are those players who usually at your area only.

Also we cannot say its cheap to run a online casino since somehow there's lots of marketing campaigns also promotions to do and that not cost only few bucks that's why I think the cost still similar but online casino have advantage for many things because anyone can gamble wherever they like by the help of technology.

Making a broad breakdown and consideration of things physical casinos tend to be more costler than online casinos and I think this is due to the need of availability of materials and resources management, so instead of being in loss in starting a physical casino one will go on with starting up with something that's easier and profitable without stress, so the need for online casino has overpowered in this regards. Another thing is the free accessible measures online that enables one chose online over physical casino.

You’re right. No need to scout for a location. No staff to pay working at the field. No expenses to maintain the location.

Apart from the reason of being able to reach more gamblers, what other reasons do you think favors opening online casinos over the physical ones?

I think that a huge part of why online casinos is preferred nowadays is really due to how much audience you will be able to reach. You can reach countries all over the world and have the casino running 24/7 without much staff needed to operate the entire place. That surely gives off the impression that profit with online casinos is bigger than physical ones if done properly.

I think that it is true.  my estimation physical casinos spend almost double of what online casinos spend. Even though they are physical, they will still have the online aspect of the business and will pay continuously to keep that side running smoothly in addition to the other operational cost of running a physical casinos. Your assumption is right. But despite this online casinos rake in more revenue than physical casinos basically due to the convenience which they offer.

[Agbamoni]

Do you think it is true?

That's not true.
To start a new casino online a varies in cost because the features, and how big you want the casino to be in terms of options of games will determine how high it will cost you. The money for development wont cost much as you can hire developers and pay them until the project is over, where the cost lies is the technical aspect of the casino. The cost for security, fast transactions, and any other technical aspect of it. It is challenging to other online platforms.
