I think Gen Zx & The New Millennials Are Changin The Game in The Gambling world!

[programmer3666]

The gambling world is definitely in a big shift!! almost similar to the constant shift of the crypto ecosystem... The older generationx kind of grew up with the analog pattern of gambling such as lottery,, horse racing,, casinos & maybe the occasional poker night cruise... but 4 the  Millennials and Gen Zx era! gambling kind of looks very different, because it has now evolved into more digital era with mobile apps, online sports betting, esports nd even crypto casinos.. They don’t need to do the old school style of dressing up and walkin into a casino anymore! all they do now is casually place a bet in seconds on their mobile devices from the comfort of their home!! i mean they can even decide to place a bet while takin some sh**t no stress.

The interesting part is how this change affects their habits... The older gamblers talk more about the thrill of the game or the social side of going to a casino that gives room for networkin with others from different social backgrounds.. But the GenZ gamblers seem more tech driven, more attracted by instant betting, flashy apps & of course not to forget about the idea of making quick money... On top of that we are begining to see crossovers with the gaming such as loot boxes, skins betting nd even esports gambling!! the kind of things that the older players might not even consider as gambling in the traditional sense of things.

The wonder is that the generational gap is also changing the risks involved too. because it seems like the GenZ gamblers are more vulnerable to quick losses because everything is so fast and available at their fingertips or on the flip side are they actually smarter with money since they grew up in the digital world and know how to use tools, stats and betting strategies better?  or is it that the older gamblers were more patient because they treat it more as entertainment instead of chasing fast profits!!

What do you guys think??? is gambling realy evolving between generationx or is it the same thing but just in a different package or format???

A lot have changed in the gambling world and it does not take much to notice the shift. We have more games to gamble on, more ways to gamble and indeed more options. Today I was enthralled by one of the Telegram casino and it is interesting to noted that they even have sports betting integrated into Telegram both with many other features and new casino games. This was not there those days when gambling was mostly in physical shops and never at the comfort of your house.

A lot has changed and the more technological advancements we keep on having gambling would keep on evolving further...who would have thought that we would get to this point where we can make use of crypto currency to gamble...Gambling isn't what it used to be, it is now fun and has several dynamics that you can explore...we now have a lot of options to choose from as gamblers

The fact that we are not just using our traditional fiat, and one gambler can play in a casino whenever he is on the planet because of the internet, is proof that gambling and the way we gamble change and keep changing. What’s the innovation now could be different in the future.
The only thing that has not changed is our greed and motivation to gamble, as well as our ability to adapt to the evolving technology in the gambling industry. In the past, people were also vulnerable to quick losses because this is gambling; nothing really changes. Some people treat it as entertainment, but most view it as a means to make money, and I don’t think this will change.

All of these are part of what differentiate both sides of generation. Technological advancement has gotten into everything we do, the changes isn't only on gamblers (mentality) but also in the sports, and events we gamble on. Take football for an instance, back then there was no VAR and virtual line assistance, all of these are included to make the sports more interesting for viewers and gamblers to have many options.

It is not about changes rather improvements.

Who is GenZ? People who were born between 1997 – 2012 (ages ~13–28 in 2025).

I doubt they are dominating the gambling field because it involves money and I don't think most of Gen Z have reached their financial independence by now so they can't influence how the gambling evolved and in my opinion, it's Millennials who changed the dynamics of online gambling who grown in both the stages and also pretty much aware of innvoation and technology.

Online gambling is more popular now, and it’s true the results are instant which makes it easier to attract more gamblers because of the easy access. Since the house always has the edge, this only means their income will keep increasing. I think the data would show that the gambling industry is growing both online and land-based.

As for the thrill, it’s the same. The only difference is gambling is easier now, which is why even underage players can still gamble on casinos that don’t require KYC.

These days we also have tons of online games offering variety, and that’s why it feels more fun as gamblers always want to try something new and it’s easy to get hooked. The games that haven’t really changed in my opinion are card games and sports betting, they’ve been around in the past and still going strong today.

I seriously think this depends on the type of country which someone is, in my country it is easily looking like the the Gen Z are been getting exposed to more money at their age than the Millennials had. While this exposure is actually due to the advancement of technology where today we see Gen z getting lots of money off even crypto currencies or other means like even offering specialized technical services. They are then changing the dynamics of gambling because they have actually seen it as a get rich quick scheme way due to their excessive hunt for riches.

The millennials even though are wealthy than Gen Z still gamble responsibly but looking at the current trend of gambling now. There are even more gamblers at ages below 28 than above it currently. Even high school student are heavily involved into gambling and instead of playing safely they go all in. In the past you rarely see schools having counseling on gambling because it was never something young kids go into then but now schools and even countries sets up schemes to teach young children how to gamble responsibly.

The change in dynamics they have done is making gambling look like it is a get rich quick scheme

Gambling do evolve and it is because of technology not because of the generations. If this technology is present in 1800's I am sure they are already have the same gambling format.  Remember the future format is derived from the pre-existing format; thus, it is not because of the generations but the technology available to those generations.  That is what I am thinking about the evolution of gambling.

TL;Dr honestly... But a line(or maybe) a paragraph caught my eyes in the process -- look, the Gen Z's are only going to follow along with the trend of their youth. You can't expect anything different from a boy who was born 20 years ago, who barely has no knowledge of what it means to support a football club in a social environment, let alone how to combo a bet in a coupon stall...

They were almost born on cell phones and raised with it, so they'll rely on it for everything.. it's fun to them just like it was to us, only too strange that they're getting addicted faster than we did.

The wonder is that the generational gap is also changing the risks involved too. because it seems like the GenZ gamblers are more vulnerable to quick losses because everything is so fast and available at their fingertips

I see a valuable point here too!!

A lot have literally changed in the gambling industry over the years and more is to come because this is the beginning of new technology. In the future more good technology to enhance effective gambling will come and the good thing is that we might be old enough to see the changes. However, I do not wish to be a gambler for the rest of my life. There will be a time, Ill stop gambling for profit and perhaps that time I will be ambling for fun only.

[Hispo]

I agree this new generation of young gamblers are more prone to lose money way faster than older and previous generations, that is true. I have seen with my very own eyes how relatively young people dive very deeply into gambling and lose thousands of dollars in a single session only to feel regret and grief during the rest of the year. Actually, we have seen some news here on this section of the forum about young people taking their own life, due to gambling losses, I don't think it was such a common thing to see in the same manner when crypto casinos were not available and one needed to physically travel to a gambling floor to play slots or roulette. It seems gambling I had expanded faster than education about basic terms and topics (like RTP, House edge, and laws of probabilities).

Makes me wonder how easily coming generations could fall for addiction to gambling.

Technology is indeed evolving so fast that any industry is adapting to what is in so to speak. Because if not, they will be left behind by other competitors. Just look at what happened to Nokia, a very classic example that a company should also think of their future. They were marketing phones in simple and sturdy design but the market is changing as people are aiming for smartphones. Hence, their collapse because the market shifted to android phones and iphones. So yes, gambling industry is not an exception. Just look at the VRs that have been developed.

What we honestly don't see is how much money our parents spent on gambling in the past. Back then, there was a lack of information, so we didn't know where people were losing big money. Most older people today used to gamble in brick-and-mortar casinos, so we have limited information about the gambling world of the past.

Only with the advent of social media have those older people learned from their past mistakes, perhaps experiencing greater losses, and are now more able to gamble responsibly. Today, young people, with an open world of information, livestream or post their gambling on social media, have quickly learned that many of them experience significant losses from time to time. We must understand this situation.

And you also understand that the pocket money of parents in the past is very different from that of today's children.

Considering there are so many people around on the internet claiming the old times were better, then I would lean towards believing people used to gamble more in average than most of young people is able to toss into the casino nowadays. I mean, our parents and grandparents were able to get homes, vehicles and raise a family easily when compared to these current times, when getting and home has become so difficult.
Common sense tells me people individually gamble less money than before, but the total number of gamblers has increased so the volume is a net positive for casinos.

You can't relate this to gambling, because you can look at it from another perspective, namely from an economic perspective. The value of their currency and land prices in ancient times were different from today. In fact, many people were still given free land rights by the government because the population wasn't as large as it is now, both in terms of human population and currency. So you have to look at life from a different perspective.

If you could calculate the dollar amount spent in the past and then convert it to today's dollar value, you might think it was the same in ancient times, with many people spending money on gambling, because the value was different.

If Gen Z gamblers can treat gambling as well, nothing to worry about. They will not get addicted to gambling and will consider that gambling is just entertainment. They can have fun and place a bet without stress.

But I guess not all Gen Z gamblers can do that because some of them will lack control and difficult to handle their emotions in gambling. They need to know that gambling is just an entertainment and nothing more.

Gambling is evolving because of technology. That allows Gen Z to play gambling at home. But the key to keep aware of gambling is the same, which is having control.

We live in a digital age and everything has been made easy as a result of technology. Gambling isn't what it used to be in the 90's, people can now gamble from the comfort of their homes without going to a physical casino. Although gen z gamblers might be doing way too much and by that I mean the extent at which they go to just to gamble. With the rise and evolution of gambling it has made more addicts

Yes, it's a ever evolving gambling world. Before we have slots like 3x3 and boring, but in the least 20 years we have developed a very attractive UI and so it could attribute to many people being addicted to gambling and slot games in particular.

I think sports betting will be there as well, but the development could be really on machines and the gambling experience. I remember that we have thread before like VR will be the next thing is gambling. We can play with other players without physically there, with just gadgets on our head hook in our minds and eyes.

Gambling has definitely changed  not in essence, but in form and speed. Gen Z has everything at their fingertips, sportsbooks, online casinos, even bitcoin games. It’s all instant and available non-stop, which increases the risk of impulsive decisions.

Older players were more about the experience, the social side, and the atmosphere, while younger generations are more focused on quick profit. Sure, they might use more tools and statistics, but the fast pace of modern gambling brings its own dangers.

Same behavior new form. Gambling didn’t disappear, it just moved into your pocket (your phone) and became faster, quieter, and sometimes more dangerous.
