Are pure online casinos slowly becoming outdated?

I mostly a bettor and can say that about a half of bookies i bet in have casino games. But such games mostly are primitive enough.

Classical casinos with only casino games make gamblers lose money. And sport betting and some predictable games can bring profit for gambler. I`m not gambling man and don`t know how it works, but as for me - it is dull enough to lose money day by day. I would prefer betting. If it is true for common gambler - casino have to create a bookie part to get more gamblers who will bring it money.

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

I see no reason for online casinos to add sportsbook to their games given their popularity lately. However, I doubt that pure online casinos would become outdated given that the vast majority of its players still play your conventional games such as slots, poker, and blackjack.

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

I do think that the popularity of sports betting has attracted tons of new players in the gambling scene. However, the old and veteran players still play your usual games in such online platform given that we do not hear often from them.

Almost every gambling platform is now having both casino and sportsbook tab, and the reason is simple as you said. Players don't want to switch between multiple platforms and why would they leave their business to others anyway means this is going to be the trend of the future. ANd I bet the new trend will be including the prediction tab as well into the platform.

Not only due to convenience but also to loyalty especially if your online casino has your KYC documents. You would definitely avoid submitting your personal identification documents to multiple online platforms for security reasons. That's exactly why some online platforms have started integrating sports betting on their website for loyalty and convenience.

If we do tend to zoom out then gambling industry is still booming,growing or relevant basing up on the revenue then we can definitely say that it is that other way around. They do become outdated? No, you are just that being trying out to describe things around as if they are really that becoming outdated without even trying to look on whats happening around specially when it comes to development and changes. We do know that these are businesses and its always their priority that having that new or unique way on offering things on the gambling community because once they would be able to make something new then it would be that flocked out by gamblers specially if it wasnt that being offered before. It is just that normal for gamblers to become bored and finding up something new when it comes to new types of games or whatever that they do have. Put in mind that gamblers are really that very curious when it comes to new things specially if they havent been able to tested or tried it out, there's a demand into it for sure.

If a pure casino has a lot of users and they are maintaining a record of profit, there's no need for them to do that. But they're all backed with data and that's why some are also switching into other games. The data that online casinos relies on which is profitable and which is not. That's why for as long as they have the profit for some games that they do have which mainly are the casino games and they've been known for that, they won't just drop that but they'll look after into the adoption of sports betting too. Since most of the competition is on a casino which is loaded with every game.

From experience, it really gets tempting when a casino offers a lot, because sometimes we end up wanting to try everything. That’s one reason I think casinos should add sportsbooks, or sportsbooks should add casino games too, because once users are already there, it’s easier for them to explore both.

Doesn't that mean they've succeeded in keeping you stuck on one platform for the longest time? I don't think users ever asked for both platforms to be accessible under the same roof.
Extreme retention strategies are absolutely essential in modern casinos, and they have no problem adding more gaming and betting types without looking at user patterns first. It's like a public bath, visitors never ask for a sauna, but if the manager provides one, visitors will try it for the first time.

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

We know that there are currently a lot of online casinos. And the competition to remain a choice for customers will always exist. Some attract customers with VIP bonuses, while others are constantly adding new games. If they feel that sports betting is necessary to bring in new customers and keep their existing customers betting at their casino, I think there is no problem with that. I think there is no forced situation in business. They must have already considered the risks and benefits of the steps they take.

[Orpichukwu]

and for those casinos that still stick to pure casino only, do you think they’re slowly becoming outdated? or maybe they still have their own solid market and don’t really need to change

I believe they still have their audience; if they didn't, they could not have been in operation till now. Another thing is, based on requests from their customers, if a mass number of their VIP customers suggest it, the casino will consider bringing in the requested option. Casinos are more about business, and whatever will keep their audience patronizing them is what they will do.

Everyone can play sportsbook but not everyone can play casino. As a gambler that I'm myself, I can spend good time analyze games and bet an amount I can afford to lose on games and go about doing my work but I don't think I can do such doing gambling. I don't have to sit on my phone or my laptop 24/7 because I want to make money, I can do same thing with sportsbook and I will be able to make my money comfortably than when I try casino.

Don't forget that we also have prediction market now on the rise. Casinos now want to be everywhere and make money where the money follow. We have some platforms that are pure predictions while some exchanges are adding them on their platform. This has made people love predictions and just like you said about sportsbooks, they have started to add prediction market on their platform so everyone can use it as 3 in 1 platform to do what they want.

I play casino games, but it pleases more when it is a melange of casino games, and sportsbook, and I believe some other gamblers like it that way also. Casino games can be very interesting but some gamblers are not familiar with them, and but many gamblers are familiar with sportsbook including those who play casino games. Therefore, a casino site will be more attractive if they inculcate sportsbook into their site, with this, their customer base will expand, because even if a gambler is not playing casino game, the sports betting will attract them to use the site, and this same method is also deployed to some sports betting sites.

An example of what a casino was, or what I thought it was, was FreeBitcoin. For me, it was excellent. It's a shame the casino or the site stopped working, but even though it was very basic, I liked it a lot. It was different from other casinos; there wasn't much complication, and things were clear. For me, what happened was poor management. I think it worked wonderfully, and that's where it ended. But it was classic, basic, and had many players. For me, it wasn't bad.

having two tabs belonging to both the casino and the sport book was a great idea given that we are currently in a digital age where everything is moving towards the direction of ease and integrations. If you can develop an appreciate which has the ability to integrate at least the major kinds of gambling sites and games under a catalog for instance and everyone can just go to the the same app, click on it and be able to select the category of the gambling game you are interested in and viola you are there with just a tab. I don’t know if we have such apps that currently such integration but if we don’t we should please start thinking about how to create one in no time please. For example in Nigeria, you should have app that has several gambling sites such as Betnaija, Sportybet, 1xbet and more under one interface.

I am not sure about the gambling apps, it maybe good but as a user I would not prefer the mobile devices for many reasons.

If we get used to the gambling over the phone that will lead to dependancy meaning we can have access to the gambling at all the time and small screen is where people make mistakes, even a misclick and bet wrong amount that can wipe the entire balance.

Not really, because I’ve noticed that there are still many online casinos that continue to offer only games on their platforms and are still turning a profit to this day. After all, the sportsbook feature should be optional for casinos. Although many players currently want their casino platforms to include a sportsbook feature so they can continue betting without having to switch platforms, casinos aren’t obligated to provide it unless they see that offering a sportsbook on their platform is necessary to generate more revenue.

Considering they are becoming more and more legal, it's becoming something that is not a problem on the long run. I understand it may not be that big of a deal, but it is something that would not be too bad to handle, and we should not be considering how this could be a big problem neither. If we can see this becoming a non-issue then we are going to see this becoming a simpler situation as well.

This is why I believe we are going to end up with something that won't be all that complicated to begin with, and for that reason we should not be considering this as something that would be bad to bet on neither. Online ones are the future and they are going to keep on growing, and offline, physical casinos will get less and less attention every year.

I follow your discussions and I'm learning new things.
Regarding the casino card, are you obviously talking about physical casinos or online ones?
I've never been to a real casino, do you have to have an entry card to enter? It seems strange to me.

[Akbarkoe]

No they are not outdated despite the seeming simplicity of having only one focus for their gambling if they keep updating their games to the latest invasion in casino games.
 
It's just that casinos that only have a few betting options look small casinos, and casinos that have sports betting look big casinos, for me personally who has two gambling activities in casino games and also sports betting, definitely choose casinos that have both.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

It's not really becoming outdated, there are still players that visit those pure casino games website to play their favorite games and also they are definitely getting the service they want from the website which is why they visit it regularly. Before now, I have always wondered why some pure casino games website do not like to put sports book on their website but what I realized is that casino games is more easy to manage and less capital intensive on like sports games which deals on like events and steady computation of records but with casino games, it's not stressful to them and they said it give them more profit than sports book. I do believe that with time, the casinos without bookie will add the bookie because if they don't, then they are lagging.

[taufik123]

So from the sources above, it is clear that sports betting is increasing from year to year, this proves that casinos must keep up with the times, so that they are not left behind, therefore it is natural for casinos to increase sports betting because the market needs it.

There will always be updates that follow how sports betting in gambling is done.
About how the User Interface in the fox is more attractive and responsive to pseudo-devices.
And with the improvement or change of the rules it is also commonplace, seeing how the bets will always increase and more users start logging in to bet.

Casinos that always follow what users want and follow the trends that are happening, such casinos will not go out of style.
Such casinos will get more loyal users because they are always UpToDate and look at what modern humans really need today.

[Dunamisx]

There's nothing like being outdated in this manner, just only a preference change, and that settles it all, this is a normal thing that can happen at any city that we have a platform trying to improvise by adding more features to their services, after having the intention of increasing their scope of coverage, so it's nothing more than a business advancement strategy for gambling operators to do.

[r_victory]

I think it's just another way to make a profit, not because they're outdated. There are gamblers who prefer casino games, like me; I even bet on sports, but it's not my priority. So, for me, I don't even care about having a sportsbook in the casino.
