The enshitification of online gambling

[xenomorfo]

Casinos are just a business, and I?m not even surprised that they do everything possible to increase the advantage on their side. Casinos have a lot of money, so they hire marketers and other specialists who teach them how to maximize profits. I think casinos have never really cared much about players, but now the desire to generate higher profits is going beyond all reasonable limits. That?s exactly why I stopped playing slots and any other casino games, because I understand how all of this works. Betting is the only section where I still continue to play.

I'm not surprised either, I'd say it's something so obvious and obvious that it's almost laughable
It is obvious that casinos will do everything to maximize profits, within the limits of legality of course
because if they start playing dirty games, the game turns negative
that is, people don't come to play anymore

The casinos who are reputed are also operating hugely, and that's why the expenses they're having is also huge.

That's why they have to make the most of it with the money that they invest into the marketing. So, we'd see a lot of marketers and promoters they have on the web.

Casinos do care with their bettors in a sense that's why they create a lot of enticing promos that gamblers have no way to decline it if they think that it's such a good deal.

I believe the negative changes that have occurred in the online casino industry since 2010 are related to the fact that it has become a highly competitive environment. 🙋

Now, online casinos should have a 5-10 percent advantage over players, not just 1 percent (as was the case in 2010).

What the heck do you mean with should? They most definitely should not. As competition increases, margins start to become thinner. This means that in a highly competitive environment, the house edge will be closer to 0% than it would be closer to 10%.

And, by the way, government regulation, in my opinion, played a significant role in this. I've seen many forum threads discussing which is better: a licensed casino or an unlicensed one. And most forum participants wrote that they would prefer a licensed casino... However, a license costs money! And a large staff costs money too! And the need for promotion and influencer fees also requires significant expenses! That's why, in my opinion, all these changes have occurred...

An unlicensed casino is extremely risky to the point that a person is dumb for playing it. It brings with it countless other issues that are not found in licensed casinos. Unless you are extremely addicted to gambling, there is no reason to play in an unlicensed casino. People play in all sorts of shady and weird places and then when they get scammed they come crying on this forum. 

And I wonder what are these regulatory board doing, are they paid to give a blind eye on this negative changes?

This part is retarded, we don't live in fucking communism. Regulations should only touch upon the very necessary and not get into the details of how businesses are operated. If some idiot creates a casino and wants to have a house edge of 90% he should be allowed to invest and lose his money due to his stupidity. Over-regulation does not solve problems, it creates more problems. The free market and low barriers to entry solve problems, if humans are not too stupid in the given case.
