There was a time when online gambling was not much known to people, when people participated in gambling, they either physically sat in the field or participated in offline gambling platforms. But now online gambling has attracted people so much that people can now gamble secretly at home. Even those who cannot gamble physically in the field due to their high prestige can now gamble secretly on online gambling platforms. Also there is no manipulation in online gambling due to which people can gamble properly. Although gambling is not allowed in my country, I have seen people who are used to gambling offline, they also now seem to have made online gambling more popular than offline gambling. Most people have now become cryptocurrency lovers due to which people are more attracted to online gambling.
Of course, because there are still many people who believe in physical casinos and they are still quite unfamiliar with online casinos, technological developments and also other factors such as the Covid pandemic were the beginning of the development of online casinos until now which are getting bigger.
But I will state that everything has its own advantages and disadvantages, as the OP said, now changes have occurred and indeed most gamblers prefer to be able to play or bet with more convenience.
Yes, if we talk about fairness then we can find more fairness and also some personal benefits if we use online casinos, all of which cannot be found in physical casinos and of course we can get much better opportunities in transparent.
But still, we only get all of that in the right online casinos, there are many gambling sites but not all of them can be relied on.
Apart from that, in several countries that have gambling bans, you can also access gambling sites without worrying that everyone, including the government, will find out, this kind of convenience also allows more gamblers to be able to gamble more safely.
