Do you believe Casinos with fancier User Interface made you more addicted?

[Judith87403]

In my opinion I don't see that thing that a casino company will implement that can make all gamblers to  get addicted, if you're talking about those who are already addicted than I can agree with you. Just like majority of this casinos have been giving out offers to thier users as a way of getting more users why majority of the old users may likely get stuck up in thier platforms. because they know that alot of people can easily be moved by those offers and yeah ever since most gamblers heard about this offer they have been gambling non stop just so that they can win the offer and this is the reason why most people are getting addicted to gamble why those addicted gamblers are even getting addicted the More.

I was thinking about the old days of Internet gambling.  I do not remember a single Casino that looked well or had a friendly interface back then.  Most of them had either 99 percent text or a lot of complicated images that put a strain on your eye.  When Smart phones with browsers became a thing, it was incredibly annoying to use the browser to gamble because the websites were not adapted to smaller screens yet.

Today most Casinos have a fancy User Interface.  The change is as significant as old versus new YouTube.

And then I got curious.  User Interface is often very important because a better interface means a better experience for the user.  But with animations, colors, sounds and a modern design, I believe it can also lead to a sort of visual addiction.  Do you believe the User Interface of a Casino made you more attracted to it and implicitly a more addicted gambler?

I think this is true, and the interface is being simplified so that more gamblers will find it more acceptable. Sometimes I think casino interfaces look silly, like the monkey-banana slot machines. I have a feeling this is deliberately designed to irritate gamblers and provoke them more and more, so they'll want to get even with the monkey. After all, according to their logic, it was the monkey that stole their money and is now laughing at them, and they need to get it back immediately.

User Interface is more important than most of us realize. Comparing between the two casino's I use, both of them have same house edge, one has a classic look and a bit quicker feel while another is animation heavy modern design. On long term, I have switched to one with better looks as device and internet speed are now not a limitation. The classic look worked best with slow internet and older devices and many people preferred them as animation heavy casinos felt slow. But with people getting 100mbps+ packages at the same price where you got 20mpbs and now a cheap mobile or laptop has 8 gb of ram, they are no longer a limitation and with both sites working equally quick, People and particularly myself am preferring a better looking site with more bells and whistles.

I am not addicted to gambling, although, I would have been, but that was my early days of starting sports betting and it was never on any of these online fancier crypto casinos but I was using a local online bookie but their UI looks better now than before. The reason why I am also using some crypto casinos is because they have good UI, not just that but good service too. For players who can easily lose control while gambling, it's not the fancy UI that get them addicted but their mindset. That's my opinion.

Yes, this is true, mindset is what that really matter. If gambling sites do not have good user interface, who will still be addicted will still be addicted. But with the good user interface, people will prefer to gamble in such gambling site than the one with bad user interface. Gambling addiction is entirely a different topic from gambling site user interface.

Fancy Interface or bad looking interface it doesn't matter to me, I want to have good time gambling on any casino, I will only start to complain if the website is lagging and if games are buggy.

Fancy looking interface has their disadvantages too,  Bitcointalk forum for example is very light weight, easy to open and it doesn't consume a lot of data, imagine if its full of good looking designs and others, it won't be as snappy as it is.

Many gamblers want to make money, they won't care of if the casino looks like a 3 years old kid drawing book, people will gladly leave behind a well designed casino for an average looking one if they don't get lucky often.

If you look at the most popular casinos, you will notice a lot of similarities. There is usually a large banner image at the top promoting some special bonus and often featuring a celebrity that is sponsored by the casino. Everything about the design is intended to stimulate your brain and encourage you to gamble.

In the early days, things were more subtle, but they took a lesson from physical casinos, which have bright lights and flashy signs to draw your attention. It is not really meant to get you addicted, there are even responsible gambling disclaimers, but it can be an unintended result of their marketing.

'Good looking designs' do not mean eye strains.  In fact.  They must be the opposite.  A design that is pleasant to the eye and attractive.  Bitcoin Talk still has the old Forum look and while it is useful to us as the Bitcoin community, this design is not 'good looking' these days.

A clean, minimalist Forum look with fewer horizontal and vertical lines and rounded edges already make a lot of difference visually.  It does not mean Bitcoin Talk needs a change, after all look how even Bitcoin Core is looking, what matters to us is clearly functionality.  BUT you would love a good, modern looking Bitcoin Core, would you not.

In my opinion fancy interfaces do not have disadvantages unless the target audience is 60 and over.  Then you definitely need a design they do not have to adapt to because they will most probably not.

I agree.  Good comparison with the physical Casinos.  They visually please.  Have you ever seen a phone ad presenting an User Interface so good looking it made you want to experience it?  I strongly believe this is what visually pleasing User Interfaces of Casinos do too.

Correct. Lots of casinos look the same and it hard to tell which one has fancier UI. I would remember more a catchy banner with celebrities and athletes on it, and return to that casino, than remembering that one casino has fancier UI than other. UI - that is just a wrapping, but we visit casinos for the product. Wrapping can never make anyone addicted; product can. I have never heard that a person was addicted to one special casino and ignore the rest. Gambling addiction does not work like that.

Yea, people usually have different attractions for something, I could love a casino because of their look and choose to use the casino but if their service is bad, I will definitely leave. There are some casinos too that doesn't have well appealing UI in my view, I might not use it even if there service is good. I have an example of such casino and they are kind of active on this forum but I won't mention the name, there are also some casino that have a very good UI for a few times I visited the site, although I have not used the casino to gamble but I just loved their design. So, I can be attracted by UI but that can never make me addicted.

I think that a casino, no matter how sophisticated, will not have an impact on the person or players becoming more addicted. An addict can even become more addicted simply by playing dice by throwing them in the air. It is something that is within them, in the lack of control In view of this, it can be intuited that we are people who must control ourselves and that addiction depends on us and not on the casino.

Based on experience yes. I tend to play more on casino with good user interface because it’s good in the eyes and at the same time it gives me a hassle free vibes when gambling.

I’m seeking entertainment when gambling so I preferred playing on relaxing casino with good UI. I have an experience on playing with crappy UI casino that affects my game due to minor inconveniences such as delays and so on.

Not technically addicted but attracted to play more on good UI casino.

This statement is make sense, since addiction is reduced to the behaviour and self-control of a person, and not only to the place, like to a casino. The gamification and prestige of a casino establishment could make it more attractive, however, the decision to avoid the temptation of continuing the gambling process lies with the person. All people possess varying degree of self-control.

The people who hold no boundaries are at risk of stooping into unhealthy practises. Casinos are just the way to increase the opportunities, they are not the origin of addiction. The real blame falls on the player who considers gamble as a short-term amusement or a relief to his ills and problems in life. The question of self-awareness leads to one being able to stop or losing control as a player.

[Z-tight]

Most casinos have a decent user interface right now, it is much like the bare minimum they can aim to achieve and they do it. So i do not think that it could lead to getting addicted to playing in that casino.

There are a lot of other things that cause addiction and one is superstitious belief. There are people who get success playing in a casino and then they 'believe' they have a high chance of winning money if they play there, so they keep depositing and losing money, all in search for the luck they once had.

[livingfree]

I think that it contributes to someone's addiction. It makes me come back whenever I see a casino that I like its interface.

Because usually when we're not impressed by its visual for the first time, we're no longer interested by it and we're leaving that casino asap.

So, I believe that it can make someone addicted not only visually but also mentally with all of the sound effects and all other stuff that it has that rushes our adrenaline and excitement.

[coinlary]

Addiction come from the money aspect of gambling yet, I won't deny that feeling comfortable while gambling could increase time beign spent on online casino and betting site. The UI makes user relaxed , comfortable and even engaged , so i would still agree that it can also contribute to addiction but that should be in few compared to what really causes addiction itself

Not that I can remember. I have used one casino here, review it. I deposited money and explore the features I can get my hands on and my experience wasn't a good one, the more a casino has too many fancy features, the poor it becomes because it takes time before the page load, it can be terrible in PC but maybe the mobile can be light and sometimes both used to be terrible, also the web pages are usually heavy to make users experience even harder.

Casino doesn't need all that to make people addicted, first they need to make sure people have good primary color  of background and css that doesn't disturb the eye, the next thing they need isn't about the website but about the things that is going to make gamblers stay. Things like bonuses, things like free withdrawals without charges, available market for gamblers to play around with more choices, if all this things are not available in other casino but available in yours, they will make it their home.

Yes, even though many things may look different in different environments , the person should know what they are getting into, whether it is more attractive or not, the person will still be addicted An addicted person gambles on any eventuality in life; it is something they cannot deny , which is why it is so delicate to be in a state of addiction.

[Oluwa-btc]

I don't believe much about this addiction idea,but generally,people naturally loves to trust and patronize businesses that look well-presented online.Besides,a fancy interface isn’t vanity,it’s shows branding strategy, professionalism and credibility.Its usually a valid idea for user engagement or experience.
Thus,User Interface commands user experience;a good clean, organized and visually appealing interface is the gateway to user experience, satisfaction and engagement.Same thing is also applicable to Gambling.😁

Who doesn't like fancier things. I love casino with fancy user interface because the moment you login, it's eye catching which will make you want to spend more time in the casino. The moment I register with a casino and the User Interface isn't fancy enough, I wouldn't have the joy to gamble. I registered with one of the casinos in this forum and the User Inference looks simple, I didn't enjoy my session.

A casino with a friendly and eye-catching user interface will be noticed by the welcome page even before you log in, although some are good at doing a great job with the welcome page, but their games don't have colouring, which could also be discouraging to someone who has already been impressed with the welcome page and can decide to leave immediately once they are inside.
