Is Dark Mode a "must-have" for you?

[NeuroticFish]

I usually try to not answer in page 5 to OP, but I think that this direction was not explored.

I’m currently tweaking the UI over at WagerX.io and I’m torn on a feature.

As somebody using dark mode pretty much everywhere possible, I'll tell you about something more to test out:
* some browsers, like Vivaldi, have some sort of dark mode override, making even actual "light" websites dark; the problem is that even images get inverted and some will look bad/unrecognizable
* an addon from Chromium was doing the same

What I want to also tell (apart of "you may want to test that too") is that there are more ways to have dark mode on, some may not even bother to set it from website.
Overall, ignoring dark mode in 2026 is not a good business direction imho.

Great input, we put a switch on our top menu, so visitors can choose light or dark mood.

Hey guys,

I’m currently tweaking the UI over at WagerX.io and I’m torn on a feature.

We just added a Night / Day mode switch (Light vs. Dark), but I’m honestly not sure if people actually use it or if it’s just one of those things that looks cool but gets ignored.


Do you actually use Dark Mode when it’s offered, or do you just stick to the default?

Yes ofcourse. I use my laptop on dark mode most of the times and that has made me attracted to all the dark mode applications as well.
I do prefer sites having dark mode. Besides that, dark mode on gambling sites look way more attractive than light mode.
Also, I mostly gamble during the night time which makes it convenient for my eyes if I were gambling in dark mode too.

Ah! One of those topics in this sub where it's easiest to make post.

Back on topic, no dark mode is not must for me, I don't even find myself using it where it's available; I just find myself comfortable with light mode whereas dark mode, it just feels out of place for me.

On note, I checked your site (mission successful in promoting it), looks good both by design and content wise.

Dark backgrounds are indeed popular among many gamblers and traders, and among many mobile and desktop app users in general. Although I don't fully understand the reason for this preference. I often hear that a dark background is supposedly more pleasing or easier on the eyes. Frankly, I doubt it. I've seen studies that claim that black letters on a light background are more pleasant to read than white letters on a black background. But if it's an app where you don't have to read much, just glance at a few sentences and numbers, then perhaps a dark background is the better choice.

Actually this would be that still depending on someones preference in the end of the day whether you would be going for white or dark mode. For me then i would definitely go for dark mode on which it doesnt hurt up the eyes and that would be giving out that good overall experience when you do play and this is why i do prefer into those sites that does have whether light or dark mode on which you can switch up but most of the time then i would be going for dark because it doesnt hurt up my eyes and for sure that most gamblers do prefer on having that UI because it is that smooth in the eyes and i dont like into those sites that having that too much fancy colors but well just like been said that it would be that depending on someones preference because each one of us would be having their own interest.

The dark mode is very well suited for those who gamble not during the day, but at night. I had a period when I was a student, and I loved to sit in front of the computer until 2-3 o'clock in the morning, and in the morning I would calmly wake up full of energy and go to the university.Oh, youth. So often my nighttime gatherings took place while playing computer games or poker.
Right now I would be playing with my smartphone in bed, and before that I would be sitting with the lights off in front of the monitor. And then it would be very cool if all sites had a night dark mode. Because even the presence of an orange eye protection mode in complete darkness does not save the eyes from overexertion. But a full-fledged black mode is exactly what would be needed.
