Are pure online casinos slowly becoming outdated?

[Charles-Tim]

curious what others think about this, is this really the direction the industry is going or just a temporary phase?

Is it not the way it supposed to be?

I expect a good gambling site to have both casinos and sportbooks for their customers to enjoy both or go for the one the they will prefer. Or do you like just casino site that has no sport books?

I think the ones that are not having both may not have the money need to have sportbooks and also it can be because of regulations. Probably they could have seen their ways around regulations.

The gambling industry is constantly evolving, and new technologies are gradually penetrating it. Prediction platforms are becoming more popular, and even traditional crypto exchanges are gradually beginning to adopt this approach. Sports betting has much greater potential to absorb new technologies than casinos. Predictions incorporate elements of trading, which attracts people because they allow for advanced analytics. As a result, casinos are seeing more sports betting, and sports betting is seeing more trading.

This is the reality in able for the casino industry to stay in the business. Only dice game was available when I first play in a crypto casino until they added other house game such as crash, plinko, mines and so on.

Now we already have slots, live games, sportsbook and even the current trend prediction market. I think the list of games will keep on increasing as demand keeps growing due to different trend.

After researching the amount generated by sports betting in a single year, I see the reason why casinos do not want to be pure anymore. If im a casino owner, I will defeintly stain my white, if it means to add sports book to the casino. Aside from rendering a gambling service, a casino is a business the owner wants profit, the same way the players want to profit.

Based on what i’ve been noticing lately, a lot of online casinos are starting to add sportsbook into their platforms

So i’m kinda wondering, do you guys think this is mainly just to keep up with competition? like, all-in-one platforms seem more attractive now since players can switch between casino games and sports betting in one place

As a user looking for gambling games online, it would be best if the platform have all options for this including sports bet. Yeah considered it as competition wise too cause some players might be into slots and also wanted to do sports bets. So if theres something like this it would be good for users. Well sometimes it depend on the user cause probably they have preference on platform for sportsbet or slots type of gambling .

Some of these casinos have established themselves and have enough users, so they are okay with it. I still think that there are still a large population of casino gamblers that can still sustain these casinos.

personally i feel like if the trend continues, sooner or later they might be forced to add sportsbook just to keep their users from moving to more complete platforms

With the rate of investment in promotion, I can certainly say that sports betting is occupying the biggest space in the gambling industry. I am seeing many of these casinos add sports betting, which shows that sports betting is profitable. It could also be a means to maintain their customers. Your customers might move to an all-in-one gambling platform if you don't give them sports betting options.

It is not temporal; this is now the status quo. In fact, some casinos are including sports betting and the prediction market.

I don't think it's temporary, it's the new direction to stay in business as the sports world is growing, clients who love both would be more inclined to moving off to casinos that offers more gambling options. Adding sportsbook is not really a new trend TBH, it's been existing for a while now, the recent trends is adding predictions markets of which few casinos are integrating it already. Personally, I would use more of a casinos that offers sports gambling as well, being a sports lover and a die hard football fan.

Just like you said, this has already become a trend, and asides becoming a trend, the casino is a business, and how lucrative and profitable a business is mostly about how much it is able to satisfy its targeted customers, which is giving the targeted customers what they really want. You are right that if the demand for sports book keeps increasing as the days go by, and some casinos refuse to join the trend, they might as well just become outdated, that's just business, I don't think if there's anyone or any gambler who would wanna be going back and forth across different apps just to play different games.

[GiftedMAN]

If you are a gambler who has found a casino with a good reputation through your experience, and you can also find sports betting that you enjoy, isn't that great? Business owners certainly observe their customers' behavior. If customers provide feedback to add sports betting, they might consider it. But I still believe that both casinos and sports betting have their own enthusiasts. There are gamblers who only access their favorite casino games, but there are also those who access both.

That's right. It's all about satisfying the demands of the customers at all time. The business owner's job is to always monitor the actual demands that's driving the market, and if need be, also implement it in their own business, cos no one really wants to be left behind the competition. If customers figure out that they are no longter being satisfied with the services you render, and sees where it's better, they'll definitely go there, no matter how reputable your casino is.

If online casinos were getting outdated, the casinos would have removing games from among games but the games are still there and the only thing they are doing for those casinos that have not added sports, started to add sports in their casinos therefore, I don't see any fading out off casino games from online casinos. But as you stated, the competition can make them to add the sports to it because only slot and other games can't make a casino more busy.

I suggest it's a system of catching up with the marketing competitions in the gambling industry considering the interests of gamblers being dynamic with what the kind of games that catches their interests.
Noting this and realizing that the sport books has dominated the space, then you should know that such circumstances will be challenging to those traditional casino's because the sport bets is ascribed with real life events while the casino is  designed with a computed algorithm.
So for long term successful ness, it'll be better to emerge both sports and casino's in same platform just to satisfy user's needs because it also becomes boring playing either JUST the casino or sports games for a long term especially if you haven't win for the while. Switching of games reduces the anxieties to be eased when at panics.

Usually casinos that only offer pure slots or other pure luck games have their own unique user base which is way bigger than people playing strictly sport betting. Also most of sport betting people sooner or later convert to slot players, not everyone of them of course but a vast majority yes they do. The reason they do is that slot machines offer instant payout and the winning is limited to max win of a slot machines from x10000 to x500000 as a multiplier and these type of multipliers of course are much more sweet than trying to find a lot of games to build on them with a huge amount to bet believing chances are bigger which in fact they are not, they are the same, yes you read it well, probability is the same, if you don't believe me go read the book "Fooled by Randomness".

Wait, are there pure online casinos, that is, online betting platforms that base solely on casino games, hmmm 🤔 I'm not aware, cause most of the online betting platforms I've seen and used always have a sportsbook. But if a betting platform is only based on casino games, I don't think they'll have a lot of patronage, cause most gambler, at least from my area, and that I know of, mostly engage in sports betting. So focusing only on casino games will be unfavourable to u from my POV.

Despite the fact that majority of online casinos now integrate both online casinos and Sports betting on its platform, it doesn't mean if a casino decides to offer a singular service that it is outdated, because inasmuch as the casino keeps adding new games that are been launched in the industry, and ensures gambling is smooth without its players having any issue with withdrawal, deposit and the all round gambling features, it doesn't mean it's outdated. Because the only time it can be said to be outdated is when the casino was offering old casino games that was launched many years ago without adding new games one that people likes the most on its platforms. But just that when a casino integrate both casino games and Sports betting, it gives room to the gamblers to explore.

Sports betting has been considered as the central pillar of modern gaming, so if this will be added to casinos, it will surely maximize the revenue and increase customer engagement which is very crucial to stay on the edge of a competitive market.

However, I can also understand why some casinos do not entertain the idea of adding sportsbook because it may create higher rate of gambling problem, since casinos nowadays are easily accessible through mobile phones. But I guess casinos are more focused on their revenue, rather than thinking about it, so for me it would reach the point that it will be outdated soon seeing how comprehensive sports betting platform turns out a key strategy to stay ahead of the competition.

[Porfirii]

Not only legacy online casinos, but even new prediction markets can become outdated if they do not keep track of market and competition trends. Users are demanding more and more functionalities, and the offer is increasingly varied and complete in response to their wishes. Platforms specialised in only one modality can succeed in an increasingly niche market, but I believe that there will not be room for all of them and many will have to reinvent themselves and offer more services or die.

I'm absolutely sure they're doing this to expand their user base. The World Cup is coming soon, and it would be foolish for them to miss out on the opportunity to make money from it. Now platforms will be targeting two types of players, and both lose. The site's profitability is very rational from a business perspective.

There still some that doesn’t have sportsbook but most of them are new casino since most of the reputable casino already add sportsbook.

You can check bustabit.com. They are the most popular crash game and still running until now with same and only game since 2014. I think there’s still some OG casino that still doesn’t have sportsbook because they stick on their original games.

To keep up with the competition as online casinos don't want to miss the chance to gain more profits so they will search for more ways to makes more gamblers visit and play. If having sportsbook now become new way to attract gamblers, they will have it and see how that effective to get more benefits.

But they will not add before they research so they will not just follow the trend. Some casinos have their own solid market but they want to have more members, more members means they can get more profits.

Maybe the coming of sportsbook in the online casinos platform can be a the direction the industry is going to new face but that could be a temporary phase if the results is not as they expect.

Obviously entrepreneurs observe, but not for what you think in my opinion.
They try to understand the user's action pattern to adjust the aim and offer a better and more targeted, let's say personalized, service.
So that the user feels comfortable spending.

If you're a casino operator and you want to be competitive and make a profit, it's worth targeting all kinds of gamblers, so adding a sports book, business-wise, is an excellent idea.

Instead of your player moving from your casino to other platforms because you don't offer sports betting, you will retain that player and build their loyalty.
