EVERY casinos should give us live players number

[Eternad]

100% of online casino interfaces are designed to give off a lively, vibrant vibe, but 99% won't tell you how many people are actually playing.

Most casino that shows online status of players usually indicates how many players online not in percentage. In fact, I don’t see so far online status in percentage basis since it doesn’t make any useful to provide online percentage due to unknown number of total player in the casino.

It’s very hard to prove too whether casino displays transparent number of online player since we can’t check manually each players profile.

Unless they provide player database to show betting history and prove their activity.

Some people love their privacy and would only play on platforms without the stats you are looking for.. besides for a legit casino to be around for several years don't you think this says that their books are in the green or at the least bringing in some revenue..

Besides, we can't have all platforms having a generic build then players would nolonger have preference, if you looking for legit platforms then go for tried and tested platforms..

[Darker45]

But if they tell you how many people are playing, would you believe them? The point isn't that they aren't sharing you those data; it's that those data being shared are probably not real.

There are gambling sites that show you statistics like the total number of bets, total amount of bets placed, and so on. But would you believe them? Is there any way you can verify the veracity of those figures? And if there isn't, do you have the right to know? And what would be a valid reason why every casino should give you the real number of live players? Is there even any?

If you're wondering whether casino is legit or not, then verify them through their gambling license.

If you're wondering whether casino is popular or not, then verify them through how big their followers, how crowded their chatroom, or how massive their engagement.

Are you gambling because others are gambling or you're gambling because you want to have fun or make profits. No one will show you anything, it's not a must for you to gamble if you don't want. It's a personal decision. I don't care about how many gamblers are online using the casino, whenever, I want to gamble, I focus on myself alone.

I believe it is rather a way for OP to feel comfortable gambling online, he probably is the kind of gambler who is used to going to brick and mortar casinos and have a crowd around him having fun like he does, so when he moved to online gambling and could not longer interact with anyone and did not see anyone around him he still feel the need to see a "vivid" casino moving in front of him.
Lucky for him, most casinos which high volume of money will show how many people play specific games and they will also have some chat rooms in several languages for people like OP to interact with strangers, at least that is how it works on Stake.

I get the OP's point. Doesn't it feel colder to you watching a film on Netflix instead of on TV knowing that there are hundreds of thousands of people watching the same as you at the same time? Don't get me wrong, I still prefer to watch movies on my own and not what they give me on TV, but the feeling I describe is familiar at least to me. I guess that's what the success of certain late-night live games on TV is based on: they feel ACCOMPANIED.

The problem with casinos online is that not many have the critical mass to create that feeling, and that's why I think some may manipulate the number of users to make it seem like they're more than they are. Of course, with the large and well-known casinos that shouldn't happen since the real number of users should always be enough to generate that feeling of companionship.

Maybe some casinos manipulate their data statistics to make them look active, but not all casinos do this activity. You can see the activities of the biggest casinos in this forum, such as stake, betfury, bcgame, etc. There we can see directly.

100% of online casino interfaces are designed to give off a lively, vibrant vibe, but 99% won't tell you how many people are actually playing.

Maybe some casinos do show recent bets and wins, but you'll notice it's always the same handful of usernames repeating.

Want to prove your casino is legit and popular? Show me the online count for each game, give me chat rooms, and give me granular data like Steam stats.

I’m not sure who actually likes that feeling of "playing in the cold," but personally, if I know there's a crowd playing, I'm much more willing to bet.

Even if they did that, people would still accuse them of faking the numbers, so what is the point?

The only way to prove they are not faking the numbers is to invade the privacy of their users and spread privacy data publically. Which I think is way worse than simply not having people believe whether or not the online count number is true (if they had one).

Op may have doubts about the data presented by the casino regarding players who are currently online and actively betting. As gamblers, we indeed cannot validate the accuracy of that data. But does it really matter that much for online gamblers? Especially for those who only bet on sports or play casino games like slots or dice. Gamblers who tend to validate casino activities are usually habitual gamblers in land-based casinos, where players actually interact with other gamblers who are present to play.

Maybe these casinos are "ashamed" to show the actual number of players they have?

Maybe some casinos do show recent bets and wins, but you'll notice it's always the same handful of usernames repeating.

Maybe it's because these are the names of the most active players, which is why they often appear in this statistics feed?

You don't think that casinos, while cheating with these names, wouldn't at least consider diversifying them with a larger number of nicknames?

Want to prove your casino is legit and popular? Show me the online count for each game, give me chat rooms, and give me granular data like Steam stats.

Maybe you should also ask for their accounting statistics?

As proof of their legitimacy, they should show a license, provide information about the cash reserves that will be used to pay gamblers and refund deposits in the event of a hack or theft, and the names and contact information of the founders with proof. What casino would agree to this? And why would they, if gamblers are already coming to them?

I’m not sure who actually likes that feeling of "playing in the cold," but personally, if I know there's a crowd playing, I'm much more willing to bet.

Well, of course, I understand your sincere desire to gamble among like-minded people, not empty bots in an empty casino. Perhaps more socialization in casinos would increase casino profits, but then why aren't they developing it?

That's for sure, you yourself know why you insist on showing the number of players on the casino interface.

You actually understand, online casinos can be said to be a different world, you will be amazed, the luxury and excitement in the game interface, but you will never know that behind the game interface that you play there is hidden their cunning strategy, which most people, including you, don't know about, logically you never know who you are playing with.

Please note to the OP, your ability to beg and ask shows the user playing the interface, you will not get it.

I have a saying about interface gambling for you.

The interface or live gambling casino dealers: are not on your side as they might pretend to be. These versatile professionals have only one ultimate goal, which is to win every time.

[xbetz.io]

Fully agree.

“Recent bets” and scrolling usernames don’t prove real activity, they’re easy to fake.

Live player counts per game, real-time liquidity indicators or even delayed public stats (like Steam does) would add far more trust than flashy UI.

If a casino is confident in its volume, there’s no reason to hide those numbers.

Even the things that you mentioned can be easily faked by the casino as long as they are centralized casino.

Playing on reputable casino only will make you not bother much on the number of active players since they will less likely gonna fake their stats if they truly have the volume due to their reputation.

The live liquidity or bankroll transparency is something that I like as standard casino feature.

I don't think that would be something casinos are willing to do though many of them, many of the reputable ones offer you real number of people playing, real data for RTP for one day, one week and one month for a specific slot machine. In such reputable casinos also they are showing the number of people online, just go to the chat room and there you will see a lot of persons, changing names there as people come and go, maybe this is the maximum casinos can do and I think that is OK amount of data for any average gambler/player to see. Personally I always play in the slot machines where at least 300 or more people are playing as I think this will drastically lower my chance of losing if playing with minimum bet.

Stake shows the number of current players on their home pages. And it is only in stake I have seen that and not in other casinos. Op, is there any need to show those figures? There are some gamblers with their amount of betting, it intimate me when I see figures like $1,000 and and above. Please keep me foe ground, I am not a VIP gambler. The first day I deposited small amount in stake, they still welcome me to their Casino and I was glad with them.

I disagree though, I think this is the very essence on why you wanted to go online because you wanted to be alone and not to be seen by others playing. So why would casinos show the real numbers or players together with you?

And in any case in certain games like baccarat and roulette, I will see names of others that have won on the line games so that alone is enough for me to play as there are people that are also playing. But you might argue that it could be bots but it's up to you whether you want to continue or not.

Do you think if there are no crowds or multitudes of players gambling or playing, do you think the casinos will still be in business? The fact that the casinos are still are in operation and new casinos keeps coming up with big amounts being reported as revenues should tell you that there are plenty of gamblers playing. You don't need to know anyone playing or identify them by numbers, just play your games and and go home when you're tired. Do you know how many people will stop playing if they find out that they are being marked or identified by real numbers which they can be tracked with? Many gamblers wants to remain anonymous.

Some people like that crowd vibes. The feeling that you are not gambling alone changes your emotional state and make the games less boring. I don't think it's necessary to invade people's privacy because you want to verify if they are real. My take is to enjoy games in the casino and don't care about who is playing. Some casinos might not be truftul in displaying players, but this shouldn't be a concern if you enjoy the casino.

Should we care about this, it changes nothing about us neither about what they stand to offer, there are some things we don't have to go through the bottom line to know the actual truth, instead, it is better we allow or accept them the way they appear, because knowing them does not improve anything about us neither does it take or add anything to them as well, if we think we are convinced that a gambling casino is reliable, then we should trust their deeds and uses them base on the fact we are convinced about and then leave the rest.

If you want to play with the crowd vibes then go with land base casinos, as you can literally go elbow to elbow with some players. But in online games, it's very different and we don't care about the numbers of players online. As long as we can play comfortably with our favorite games or slots, then those numbers are irrelevant, at least for me. And there are online casinos that you might see the numbers of current players online and then it flashes updated numbers of players on what games they played and how much they won if that is the OP's concern. And that is one benefit of online, we might be playing alone or with some others in other parts of the world. However, we could remain anonymous and not known the players themselves.

Why does it matter to you if a casino has other players on it? The majority of casinos out there you are simply playing against "the house" anyway so other players mean nothing to you. I'd be most concerned with the selection of games on offer and whether they suited what I was after. Even if they did show the amount of users online there is no way you could completely believe it, could all be an elaborate hoax that you'd have no way to disprove. If you really must feel like you're playing on a popular site, then look out for a live chat - I've seen so many out there and it can give an indication of the amount of players around, but again they might have bots writing posts or simply pay/reward people to make it look more active than it really is.

When most games are not player vs player type of games, why you need to bother about how many other gamblers are engaging with a same casino? Honestly I could get your point of asking for this. I mean, it is not going to prove anything to us in any means. There are some casinos which are always showing up live stats about their house's activities but we cannot cross check to verify that they are getting as only the real number.

If your really concerned about this kind of statistics then I guess that you should go gambling with your friends or neighbours because there would be more transparency and no one going to lie about anything. When you are doubting about the honesty of your casino, I am sure it would be better to quit well before facing any real problem.
