No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
People will not stop from gambling just because of the COVID-19, and this actually a great for the online gambling sites as people would choose online this time and maybe crypto gambling.  With the fear that they'll be infected, there's no way they will go in a crowded places, and even me, I would stay away for now.

You are right. We have online gambling sites which can make people keep playing gambling. They can play gambling at their home if they are afraid to go to some gambling places. I think that many gambling sites will close their place because of that virus because people prefer to stay at their home without going anywhere. They need to protect themselves from the virus by staying at their home and reducing their activity.
Still, we couldn't skip the fact that even there's a virtual world on gambling there are still people that will go on the physical places where they have to go and work for and that's the gamble of them. Even if we can play online there's a possibility that it may be offline as well if employees will not go on to their corresponding offices. It will be good if there's really a gambling platform where employees work remotely at all.

@crwth I have traveled to Macau before the hub of chinese casinos and whichever day I went it was crowded only, but when this virus started to spread people stopped visiting these casinos, however there’s no evidence to prove whether those people shifted to online casinos.
I have no idea if there could be a way to have evident data with regards to the aspect of people changing in the way of gambling. I must say that "If I were an addict in gambling, I would continue gambling in another way." Maybe a survey could probably analyze the amount of change in that aspect, though.

Also it’s pertinent to note that most of these people who visit land based casinos are tourists and they have already started visiting the casinos and now are required to wear mask as a safety precaution, further it’s also a good time for online casinos to market themselves as a casino where people can play without getting infected.
Generally speaking, having a mask would not protect you from the virus. It's the hygiene that could make a difference towards protecting yourself with that. I think it's time for online marketers to market online casinos.

I think when there's gambling addiction, they will find a way to feed their temptation.

I was working in Venapi which is a trc based wallet and a Dapp browser. Due to corona virus, as the developer is from China, they had stopped running the service and as a result, I had lost my job as community manager. The app will also be closed soon because they can't manage it anymore. As a Dapp browser, this was a big loss I think and the reason is COVID19.

It could possibly induce more players in terms of gambling digitally, but I can say, even without the corona virus, the volume of players in online gambling is already huge, that is because of their personal reasons and sentiments, anonymity and satisfaction upon winning despite of not playing and touching tangible casino gaming equipment.

COVID-19 is quite a big issue as of today and I think its main impact could have an effect to cryptocurrency holistically, and not directly to the gambling industry.

Not only in physical casinos, but mostly it was spreading in public places where many people are staying like supermarkets, etc. And yeah this affected some areas of field like gambling. Good thing there is already visual games, online gambling sites and casinos for us not to acquire COVID-19 and to atleast stay at home playing  It is always best to consider our safety first. Preventing public places, proper hygeine will be a great help not to acquire the virus.

at first thought i thought it gonna be affect the overall gambling industry but upon opening this thread i see that your only  referring to offline casinos  , i forgot that fact actually and right now im still thankful that covid-19 does have some positive impact on the crypto or  on the online comunities because it makes people more involved online but i still worry on the businesses offline   .

 i feel selfish if mainly online will get benefit the most   . that is why i still hope that the cure will get stronger and will be distributed worldwide for free  so that the epedimic will stop .

We all know that there is a virus outbreak named COVID-19 and it's spreading quickly throughout the entire globe. Though preventive and and can be somehow cured and be reduced by healing the specific symptoms one-by-one (based on Is there a cure for the new coronavirus? by Stephanie Pappas), there are still numerous cases in which would affect soon every single person on the planet.

Currently, there are 106,195 confirmed cases in which 42,405 cases that are active and almost 3,600 confirmed deaths around the world. COVID-19 can be passed in a lot of different ways, more likely to be through physical contact. And it is obvious that most gambling (especially physical casinos) were bombarded with strangers that aren't that assured if do have the disease or not, and has a high chance where many physical contact occurs (like passing of bank notes and bets).

Recently, there was an article titled South Korea burns, quarantines bank notes as Covid-19 rages in which its states that one of South Korea's preventive measures is they've seen that, it is a risk and a huge possible that bank notes can carry the virus and with the papers being passed through the economy is also an implicit transmitting of the virus.

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.


Physical gambling activities will decline and people will now divert with virtual casino gaming, because it's safe and free from possible physical contact they might acquire. This is a very serious concerns that triggers fear, but with online gambling platform I think it wouldn't deprive someone who still want to play gambling despite of the ongoing transmittable disease.

I would definitely stay at home to gamble, it's safe from this virus and at the same time we can save a lot of time.
Their business will surely be affected, that's the economic effect of this disease that the government should address immediately, and although there are only few infected in my country but I would not rely too much on that information as they could be hiding something so it will not affect the business.

its better to be safe than sorry, gamble and home, that's the right thing to do now.
I think the operation is possible be affected because player are also want to be safe, so surely they don't go any gambling place. So I think it's better to gamble online until the virus gone, because it's better to be safe than being infected in virus. COVID-19 is a serious case that need to be immediately separate those infected to non-infected to lessen the infected person because if that happen many business or operation will also be affected to it not only in gambling.

This is the kind of scenario that online gambling will benefit, the authorities advised people to lessen their contacts with people and just stay at home, so if a gambler wants to play and he is itching to gamble, his only option is to play online and this will help online gambling to make more profit and new gambling site to get more gambler to play in their platform.

I think that will not stop people from going in casinos especially those rich gamblers. Didn't you know that in some casinos, there are rich gamblers that hired a representative to play for them?

The only thing that can stop them completely is if the casinos themselves will shut down their operations or the area are now in the critical level of the virus outbreak.

About online gambling, I doubt they will think of using crypto just because of the virus as an alternative since they can go to the physical casinos. Since they used to play in casinos, they are transacting with their bank accounts. In online casinos with a fiat payment method, it's just a one-click to deposit money from a bank account to an online casino. The convenience is still there even with the virus outbreak so nothing will change.

Here in our country, there is no announcement of stopping operation, maybe because it is not yet prevalent or they are taking strick precautionary measure, our country is now on high alert level, so I am encouraging my friends who frequent casino gambling to try online gambling.
Online stuff are more secure nowadays than cash thanks to Corona Virus!
We should not let this thing affect our life like this for real. People are afraid from everything: cash, goods or anything sent in mailbox (especially from China), vegetables in the market, read about women fighting for toilet paper (seriously!). Hysteria...
Some general measures could be understood like avoiding crowds, cancelling concert, playing football games without spectators...
Now if we go back to the topic, cancelling sportive events for example could affect directly and seriously many gambling platforms! Maybe people can bet in games played by the coaches in FIFA 2020  Tongue

Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling..

It depends on the overall status of the virus in a certain country. Obviously, for those countries wherein the situation is "under control", the usual environment will still be the same or let's say the gambling activity on physical casinos will just decrease by only low percentage.

And besides, in most of the cases, these physical casinos are not accessible easily to anyone. With or without this global issue of the virus, people can't just enter if they wish. And for big casinos that concerned about the virus, surely there will be strict implementation of anyone who will enter like implemented on other establishments as well.

...somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.[/b]

Online gambling doesn't mean it's all about crypto.

Some physical casinos do have an online gambling site partner and affiliates or even they haven't, I see these gamblers who regularly play on physical casinos will shift instead into fiat-based online gambling.

I think the only effect of COVID-19 is that a lot of gambling casino would close for a long period of time due to virus spreading prevention, but i think it is the right thing to do just to prevent everyone from having a virus. And there are also pther ways fro gamblers to entertain themselves pr to gamble by just playing in a online casino.

Only casinos would be affected by it and rest online gambling would continue the way it is being happening . Many tourists places where casinos are attractions would have a major effect as tourism now will fall as people will avoid vacations and local people may also be skeptical as people from different nations could be found in casinos and risk increases if you get in contact of such people .  For next couple go months it will be a hard time for casinos owners .

It will be having an impact where physical casinos are permitted, such as Macau and Monaco. But here in India, gambling is prohibited and most of us resort to online casinos that are based in foreign nations. And here at least, COVID 19 is likely to have a negative impact. The ongoing economic slow down can have a negative impact on the revenues of online casinos as well.

But for some parts of the world there are still those who gamble in direct contact because it is not too severe in Covid-19 so they will be free to play in a safe friend from Covid-19.
Who knows it could be higher as well since there's still not enough people tested in certain countries. And with the increasing numbers of people getting infected others will be more discouraged because of it.


Casinos have always found a way to survive no matter how good or bad the conditions around them were which is why I don't think this will dent their business in a big way.
They could take days off or maybe months if they prefer since a lot of physical casinos are most likely established.

You have a good point if the virus becomes widespread and become pandemic gambling casinos will suffer unless gambling has its own measures to lessen contact, it will be a big gain for the online gambling operators because gamblers will continue to gamble and will try to find a way to gamble and online casinos will satisfy their urge to gamble.
