Search interest in online casinos has hit an all-time high in the UK since lockdown began, data show.

Google Trends shows gambling has moved online amid the closure of physical gambling venues and cancellation of sports events.

Well it wasn't unprecedented. Regular gamblers had to find a way to play while offline casinos are barred worldwide. Even though the overall volume has dropped, the interest about online gambling is on the ride.

I am just wondering if crypto casinos are benefiting from this! It's a great chance for crypto casinos to fetch a new customer base as well as cryptos should see new adoption. Could be a win-win situation for us!

Wouldnt really be that sure if we do talk nor ask if those searches do really had that crypto gambling it but to think that it would surely include out on the searches when we do talk about online gambling aspect.

If they would able to read it up then they might able to consider but most likely they would always aim for fiat which isnt really that surprising but if curiosity would spark out then that would be a plus
or advantage on crypto community.

This gambling online search wont really be that applicable on UK but for sure it is already happening on other countries as well.

I am happy because I did not contribute for that all-time-high searches on online casino. If someone start studying like this on movie search since last March month, probably I might have contributed some significant levels on that Grin

. Options for killing boredom during isolation periods do not have much choices. I have this forum and I am already aware of reputed online casinos, which must be the secondary reason for not contributing to casino search even gambling is my another way for killing boredom.

Regardless of what we are hearing about new peaks on gambling activities, I do see some crypto gambling houses are struggling for unknown reason. I have come across news on job losses in a famous gambling house and one long run campaign was suddenly stopped at the exact same time period on which we are taking about peaks of gambling industry. Not sure what is actually going on Roll Eyes

If anybody here or a group here wants to set up an online gambling company this is the best time to do so, when more people inside their house and looking for something to do online, gaming, watching movies and of course gambling is the most preferred, especially lucky are those old gambling sites, who I believe are getting a lot more, it's really a win win situation for all of us here in the Crypto gambling community.

Such a thing had to be created at the very beginning of quarantine, this would significantly increase the chances of success.
But now, when the pandemic is on the decline, and quarantine measures in many countries began to be eliminated, the risks of failure are significantly increased.
Of course, there are still chances for a second wave of the disease, but I doubt that politicians will risk once again introducing strict quarantine measures.

New signature campaign from gambling service always reminds me about their evolution and now they are getting more evolved just because addicted players have no place to satisfy their urge towards gambling.Exactly I am not sure about how much gamblers who used to gamble on physical casinos moved towards online but for sure it increased a lot and for the proof the discussions getting increased.

The casinos that rank up on searches on global search results will benefit from this traffic, I doubt there are bitcoin casinos that rank high though but the regular online casinos today are starting to accept BTC so today they really benefit from it.

Its either the lockdown just increases the desire for anyone to seek entertainment or simply people who have less money want to bet to an online casino to earn.

We all saw this coming. Due to this pandemic, all physically located casino had to shutdown or place some sort of restriction. Again, there are people who don't want to "risk" themselves getting exposed to the virus. They fulfill their gambling urges through online casino!
I am pretty much sure crypto casinos are also benefiting from this. Easiest way for gamblers to gamble without any hassle.

And this somewhat makes it all the more scary for those wanting to try a legitimate experience and might end up on a scammer's ready-made website. There are reports in which fake websites often end up on the top of Google's search results, and we know that many people are still lured into such obvious ploys causing them to get scammed in the end. Then again, this just means that people are really bored and looking for options to get that gambling itch gone, and so here we are with crypto gambling casinos and other online casinos offering just the right amount of games for them. Also, it's good that some countries and states are loosening their grip on the once wild west of online casinos since they know that it's one of the ways to generate some profit still while people are still confined in their homes.

This is just as obvious as it is that "food delivery" searches went up. People have stayed at home doing nothing, what do you expect? Cheesy

How so? Online casinos existed before the lockdown and lockdown forced us to move to online. How exactly is it a win for us?

Not just gambling site, online shops, netflix and other services and also freelancing opportunities are popular now even Bitcoin keywords has skyrocketed.

^ Definitely right, because people are staying at home and I also noticed that almost of our neighbor has bought modem device to have an internet connection and probably there's too much traffic in online business now. For online casinos for people who play gambling in physical casinos may divert their attention and be hooked on online casinos also for their safety and convenience and we cannot deny the fact that online casinos and physical casinos are almost similar in terms of entertainment and prizes including the thrill that we can get in gambling. However, I also agree to top the fact that those who probably get into an online casino that has no provable fair on their system and get falsified it will definitely chase them off and never go back playing in a crypto casino. A marketing strategy or promotion has really a big role in every business' success it is expensive but it pays much in return and that is also a risk that a businessman must take it is also a gamble that no one can foresee if it will be fruitful for the business. Nevertheless, there are a lot of ways that can help a certain online casino in their advertisement in much lesser expenses like posting it to Facebook it is only a matter of strategy when it comes to business advertisement.

I also wonder how people will buy bitcoin in this situation? imagine that an X person is very fond of offline casinos and I decided to use online casinos that support bitcoin. So that person searches for places to buy bitcoin and comes across KYC. how will that person do KYC with this lockdown? this Is another problem that people have when they want to buy bitcoin and another problem is related to fees, when someone wants to buy bitcoin they have to pay very high fees, will it encourage people to look for bitcoin-related online casinos or these people will you prefer online casinos that accept paying with debit cards even if they are bitcoin related casinos? I think people will prefer online casinos that accept debit cards and that means that even if people use bitcoin-related online casinos they will be paying by debit card

Your above assessment is not correct. There are many places to buy bitcoin with lowest fees possible and with no kyc. Especially in p2p marketplaces, the fees are not so high and also possible to skip kyc if the amount is under a certain limit. When there is will there's a way!

Definitely debit card offers better user experience because it has been streamlined that way. But knowing the way bitcoin works, also helps people to transact with ease. This lockdown is providing us with much needed time. Probably it's a good time to learn about bitcoin dor those who were always intrigued about it!

I think its a golden opportunity for online casino's to get a good amount ROI and potential users on their platform. As far as i not only casino's but also well established poker sites also getting a good amount of players during this pandemic situation. I don't think entire world faced a situation like this when almost all countries are following strict lockdown procedures. Who have regular habit of spending time in offline casinos's they are looking for trusted online casino sites and as a result online casino's are getting much crowd then ever. That's why casino owners are launching different offers to drive players towards them and most probably it will remain same until people's get the confirmation to join their job.

Sports betting lovers are slightly disappointed but hope they will be able to get active after starting all the sport matches soon. Honestly its getting tough to spend free times by staying at home for last three month and people need some recreational ways hardly.

It's very clear casinos that use crypto currency have a big advantage when this pandemic, 80% of information outside gambling addicts is currently turning to online casinos "in almost all countries" of course now both gambling addicts and online casino site owners have the advantage.

However, online gambling sites have a high risk of fraud, if you are not careful in choosing an online casino, Therefore if you are a gambling addict who wants to play on an online site, select a gambling site that has a good reputation, at a minimum: gambling sites have been running for 2 to 5 years and with a good reputation.

I'm not surprised by this news...
offline gamblers who always gamble in traditional casinos and maybe unemployed during this corona period are bored at home, they are looking for alternative activities to fill their boring time and then they think of trying online gambling.

Bitcoin Casino Est. 2013

I think crypto casinos may have seen a rise in number of players during the pandemic but the problem is I think that this number has been relatively small compared to all the surge in researching for online casinos.Many Fiat casinos have seen such surge but because of crypto casino needs people to know a bit about cryptocurrencies I think this has been a limiting factor for crypto casinos.

I also saw some statistics saying that overall some countries population were saving money at a rate never seen before (since they cannot spend it by shopping or going to restaurants, etc ...).
So this decrease in expenses might be a reason why gambling is on the rise.

This is good news for the gambling sites, but this also means that there would be many new people who would have started gambling it. Doing it for fun and enjoying is fine, but if they cannot control themselves and, in this lockdown, has got addicted to it then it will have many other effects on them which should not be the case.

At least this sentence can be made an excuse for some gambler who lives in the UK out there can use bitcoin as a way to gamble.

How is the industry regulated?
Using credit cards and e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller for gambling was banned in Great Britain from 14 April

It will help them to gamble for sure, especially during this time where many people didn't do anything they will be tempted easily if they see some advertising related to gambling.

It is quite easy to buy Bitcoin online. And the KYC stuff thing is process by the company itself. We just need the needed documents for that.

Anyone who is interested gambling in online cryptocurrency casinos and yet don't have any cryptocurrency, there are lots of third party company such as exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, etc. that accepts transfers from cards and trade with cryptocurrency. So it won't be a problem at all.

Do you guys think that having an advertising campaign specifically here in bitcointalk can really boost the exposure of these newly created gambling site or casino? Just curious though Huh

Indeed it will boost the exposure of newly created cryptocurrency gambling sites or casinos. Just, for example, Wolf. bet, one of the reasons why their player is growing is because of the signature campaign being conducted here in Bitcointalk.org. They paused and come back to advertise their casino again. If their campaign does not produce any good result then maybe after 1 try, they won't open their campaign again.
