one thing is clear to me, the fact that this cryptocurrency market is not a regulated market yet, there are many opportunities for scammers to steal people's money and with that they get away with it, and as people always want to try new things, scammers You can even lie that you created last generation 3D games, people don't even take the time to think that it could be an illusion, it could be a lie.

it is enough for someone to come and talk about things like decentralized casino, web 3.0 casino, casino without KYC and people soon create accounts in such casinos, and people need to do a lot of research, and people need to always choose to play the old game that they are used to it and do not be fooled by new things that are not reliable

I do think that the question kind of doesn't have any accurate answer.

We can't control if someone wants to do some shit on the said gambler.

Just remember that being "SAFE" in gambling can't be applied most of the time as we don't have any control over any situation. We should just need to adjust and try our best to be safe or if really too worried about safety, then minimize gambling outside and just focus on online gambling. In short, being a lowkey gambler.

In the past robbers pretending to be gamblers can be seen around the Casinos waiting for the win to happen for any person. Once winning amounts were handled to the winner these robbers steal them away. Now, everything is under hard security and crimes were almost zero. Incidents like the one mentioned used to happen in localities where people play within themselves placing bets.

We all know that gambling existed long time in human history and in several forms and ways. I’m sure old people has another image when they think about gambling the first thing coming on their head is most probably cards, casinos and horse racing since they were more famous than any other game. Now as in this new generation of gambling thinking of it generate an image of slots, betting and live card tables and tou can gamble in your own house without getting in touch with people all you need is your device and access to internet.
My topic today is about a simple question, Do you think gambling in old days is more safe than our days now?
Just 2 months ago in my region unfortunately a guy in my age has been murdered in cold blood only for gambling when the victim managed to win a good amount of money against the owner of an illegal small casino. If these two people where gambling online nothing bad could happen
In the other hand gambling online also have consequences such as getting scammed by the casino as well.

So im just wrong believing that the word "SAFE" was pertaining about on the risk level but its not since this do talk about security on ones self literally.If we do speak about winning huge amounts whether on online or offline then there's always the risk but we cant really deny that winning big on a physical casino would be imposing up that risk which might result on abducting or killing you due to having tons of money.
Somehow there are ways which you could really be able to avoid yourself on such scenario on where you could always have the option to be with somebody that would be securing you out on getting
away on the vicinity without any problems.As for online casinos then sticking to most reputable and known platforms would be the best bet to make.

IMO, it's a lot safer now and that is all thanks to technology.
Your example though is not what I am expecting, murder. I thought it was the security of the gamblers against the casino itself and not the people around them.
As long as you know what online reputable casino you will join then worrying about being scammed is not a problem anymore. They have names they must protect too so that their business will keep on running and profits will continue.
They cannot just idle and let one customer problem be a bigger one because social media is just right in the corner and that could mean their whole business if proven.
Security online is on you, protect yourself, especially with phishing as they are also growing.
As i said it’s an illegal casino actually in our country we don’t have any casino since it’s against the rules. I count what happened in that case as the days before Internet and online casinos are invented, Knowing that gambling back in time has been linked to various criminal activities throughout history as i read before about the famous Charles Ponzi who invented Ponzi Scheme started his scheme in part by his desire to pay off gambling debts ended up with worse results.
For online casinos that are still scamming people obviously they never cared about their reputation, they still have customers and advertising to get more victims every time and we have examples in our forum

What OP have mentioned is rare incident. Such incidents won't happen all around and connecting to that particular incident we can't term gambling to be unsafe. If I'm not wrong, the person who killed another seems to be a drug addict than a gambler. Compared to the past days it is secure around. Online gambling is much secure and much user friendly that anyone can play with ease.

If you are talking about the interaction of a player to gambling site then I can say yes, with the presence of Regulatory board, casinos are filtered so people can transact in a gambling platform with an ease.

Aside from that, when we talk about physically, then gambling such as online gambling enable us to access gambling games without us moving from one place to another.  Having an access to gambling game at home can lessen road accidents, robbery, and many other crime that happens due to the movement of a player from his home towards his work.

I think not much changed in terms of 'personal' safety of the gambler. In fact, I think it's a lot more dangerous to go out there and beat the house due to how documented everything is nowadays and how easy it is for people to find another person and do harm against them. While we, as a society may have toned violence down a bit, it's a different case when huge money is involved and those who lost that money—through 'unfair' ways or so they think—have some people at their disposal.

Dangers are always present when you gamble. It just became increasingly easy to track you down when you did something unfavorable against the house or another player.

I'd say that it's getting better because online gambling can at the worst cost you some money but you won't get assaulted trying to withdraw cash from the ATM or coming back home with whatever money you got out from the casino.

Online gambling has its pros and cons and I'd say that it's more addictive than gambling at a physical casino but your physical safety is as high as it can be and if you decide to play at a licensed casino you at least won't get scammed. The only problem you're facing nowadays is the game itself.

We are not sure, perhaps we haven't heard or no one has reported a gambling related crimes in the past that's why we say or have the impression that gambling is safe in the old days as compare to today.

But with the advent of internet and casinos started to go online, crypto based of fiat, so I guess we gamblers are safe at home playing and there are no threat if we win big money. On the other hand, KYC is asked, casino's might not pay you your winnings if they suspect that something is not right and other reasons that online casino might pull off. So there are trade offs as well.

You can use a reputable casino that people are recommendimg, like the ones on this forum, like livecasino.io. People that got scammed most likely use the casinos that are not trustworthy or the ones that people are complaining about.

But online casinos have the consequence of gamblers getting addicted but they are the modern day casinos that makes gambling easier to access.
For me and you we can choose a trust a legit casino and have no problem in that, but many people are getting scammed by some casinos where they target new gamblers and tricking them with bonuses and evil ways so it’s still a risk and there’s daily victims of that
For addiction i must agree with you since it has become easier for people to access and participate in various games so people are more likely to develop compulsive behavior, as they can easily access gambling opportunities at any time


that's true, if you will play on top and reputable casinos, you won't have any problem with them. but your addiction will be at risk here as you can easily go bankrupt if you can't contain your gambling habits. there are pros and cons with online casinos and so with traditional ones. it is up to you where you think you will be more comfortable of and hopefully not ruin your life.
i really am grateful with crypto casinos that we have today because we can easily access games at the comfort of our homes even spending with small amount of our funds, and still get the excitement of playing with it.

Well, for me, I would choose that gambling is more safer now than it was in the old days, the reason for this is very simple, like the op referenced something that happened in his area where someone was murdered in cold blood, issues like this have been from the very old days, many have lost their lives through gambling offline because smart phones with internet connection was not common back then, also, online casinos were very limited if there was any one at all in the first place.

Back in those days, our fathers had no options, but today, we have lots of options that would help us not to get into troubles while gambling, and that to gamble online, gambling online have even become more interesting than going to a live casino, this is for me though.
