For regular gamblers though the online casino is always the feasible option.

I agree with this, those who still visit offline casinos are doing it for just some mood change or as a status symbol.

For people who see it as an opportunity to make money, they will compare both options. With more and more online websites entering this field, the competition among online casino is also increasing. Thus, they give these tempting offers from time to time to attract more players.
I think they are not visiting these traditional casinos due to their status instead of that they are visiting these casinos just to continue with their addiction. The addiction of making more money takes them to these casinos where they gamble most of the time and lose money more than they win. Yeah! Due to this competition, believing any of the online casino is very much difficult.

I like online gambling for sure. It's convenient compared to casinos where you have to suffer traffic and the danger of getting robbed if a syndicate just waiting for a jackpot winner to leave the place.

Rightly said. In case of traditional gambling, you will always be worried about your money being stolen. There is no such issue with online gambling provided you have used strong passwords and have installed good anti-virus on your computer. Most of the online casinos have advanced protection against hackers and thus your information is also private and confidential there.

I beg to differ. There is still the possibility for you to lose your earnings in online gambling. It’s possible to have scams or phishing schemes in the form of these online gambling sites, so it’s not yet 100% safe and secure as compared to traditional gambling. It may still be susceptible to hackers even with the presence of strong security and protection. Needless to say, nothing is 100% safe and there’s the possibility of losing your money anywhere.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Gambling has not remained just a fun activity, it has become a business. Earlier people used to gamble by visiting casinos. With the easy availability of internet, we have online casinos as well. I play on both of these.

True and this has made the business of the traditional casinos a mess. They are now just tourist spots for the people visiting those countries where gambling is legal. Then again its just business and if they cant keep up with the changing methods of internet then they have to deal with consequences.

In online gambling , there are some new websites that provide gambling opportunities with crypto currencies like Bitcoin. Here, you have to play with crypto and can multiply your investments in few minutes.
Shut the fuck up. Gambling never is a guaranteed profit. People who gamble know very well that they are wasting both time and money in the place and the house is milking away money from them. Still its an addiction and people cant stop themselves. If it was so easy to double your money then people would not study and work hard to get a job first.

the one that makes the most sense and makes the traditional gambling more lagging is the ease in doing gambling from access to the payment system and most importantly we do not travel to gamble, stay in the room and play as much

I agree. In case of online gambling, you can play from the comfort of your home. All you need is a computer and internet connection. You need not bother about personally visiting the casino. On the other hand, in case of traditional gambling, you will have to visit the gambling site. This will eat up a lot of time especially if you gamble daily.
It all depends on how convenient you are while playing while sitting in your room and that too without having any direct communication with your opponent. Most of the gamblers thinks of traditional gambling to be much better option as they get to know the techniques which are being used by the other gamblers as well as they also establish some good relationship with others by doing so.
Either sitting in your room or just sitting in the casino, this is all about losing money. Why you are interested to even think of gambling when you already know that this is just a hub of losers and whosoever gets in, comes out as addict and he has to face such big problems. We need to understand this fact and then deals accordingly. See your future and never indulge yourself here.

Top Crypto Casino
Man, I've seen people who were totally addicted to online gambling unlike anything I would expect to see in a physical casino--I won't give the details of the circumstances of my observation, but looking at the one example I'm thinking of makes me shudder.  The guy would spend at least 12 hours a day in front of his computer, playing poker.  Every day.

Physical casinos cater to gamblers and their vices, and they do provide a social atmosphere--all to keep you playing, of course.  Online casinos don't offer that, but that doesn't mean the gambler doesn't still have those vices.  It would be very easy for someone with a gambling problem to sit there with a bottle of vodka and gamble his savings away, smoking cigarettes whilst alternating watching porn.  And meanwhile that problem gambler is isolated from the rest of humanity and slowly killing himself.  Crazy.

One advantage of real casinos is that they boost at least the local economy by being there.  They provide jobs and tax revenues and so forth, and these online casinos don't provide any benefits whatsoever to society as a whole.

Another benefit of online gambling is that you need not tip any employees. In case of traditional gambling, you will have to tip waiters and dealers for the service.

This all could add up to big amount if you gamble frequently. I am surprised no one else mentioned it before here.

I agree to that, also you have to add that there are too many requirements when you are playing Traditional Gambling, going in to an actual casinos is too hassle, unlike if you are playing online casinos which is the complete exact opposite of Traditional Casinos, but they are still both risky, keep that in mind. If it is possible, don't even try gambling because it is really addicting.

People who prefer staying on the web would definitely choose online gambling. There's a big different for casual way of gambling and online gambling.
where are you from? in my country online gambling also is not allowed because online gambling here doesn't pay in our government the right tax or they dont pay at all that it why it very illegal here but i saw some site still running an online gambling site.

in here the very popular gambling here are horse racing im thinking  to build an online version of it but im very afraid to do so. im still learning and searching the best way so i won be detect by the goverment.
And that's a different case if your country doesn't allow you to gamble online then you have no choice but to gamble with traditional gambling or don't gamble at all.
I think traditional gambling is good than online gambling because online gambling has no fun and you cannot enjoy gambling activities. N the other hand traditional gambling is full of fun. If I want to enjoy free party I visit casino with my friends and it is not necessary to gamble there, you can just chill and back without gambling. Drink, dance and leave.

I really struggle to think of any real advantages of traditional gambling, only a bunch of disadvantages come to mind, e.g;

1. You actually have to travel all the way there, probably lose, then travel all the way back
2. Much less variety when it comes to games
3. The bonuses and special offers are massively worse.

I think one of the only benefits is that traditional gambling can be more sociable, so you can go out with a few friends and have a great time together. Playing online is more of a solo enterprise and the multiplayer games are less immersive.
These are some of the major disadvantages of traditional gambling. Beside this there are also some other disadvantages of gambling which I think are also major ones like the reputation of a gambler who follows traditional gambling is spoiled in front of the society because he is involved in the activity which is considered bad almost everywhere. Also, his relatives cut off their relation with him.

in my country gambling is ilegal
if traditional gambling can problem is law
so iam prefered online gambling

Even though it is legal traditional gambling will create lot of problem with the government because policeman will keep an eye on these activity but people who are gambling through online will has less effect from these policeman.
Yes,you can gamble from sitting at your home even you can gamble by using VPN if your country banned the gambling but still it menas you are breaking the laws you can be punished if you get caught but unfortunately finding the users in crypto gambling is not possible so we can play free as we want.
Breaking the law and hurting oneself in all means at same time is not encouraged by me. Honestly, if a person wants to become a drug dealer, he can do that safely to if he is clever enough but that is not a good act for sure. Similarly, gambling s like hurting your family members. If a gambler does not love himself then at least he should care about those who depend on him and he should also do what is safe plus beneficial for him.

I prefer traditional gambling because it can directly face to face with other players. whereas if online, we can only play alone at home and don't know who exactly we oppose.
I agree.I prefer to go on traditional gambling too because i want to meet new people and socialize with them.I got to see my real opponents and observe his/her special tactics that would definitely make him win.And lastly,i can feel the real scenario in gambling if i'm on the site and not just on online gambling site.
Agreed, traditional gambling can see the expression of opponents play while gambling. However, traditional gambling is more risky. I mean if a country does not grant permission to gambling like an Islamic country it will make the players go to jail. No wonder, I have friends who tend to choose more online gambling for their security.

What are the differences between online and traditional gambling ? Which you like the most and why ? In my opinion both the types of gambling have got their own advantages and disadvantages. You can try both for some time and then choose one based on your convenience.
Im into traditional gambling because i am not interested in online gambling becaue this will only lead me to become addicted,while traditional gambling needs effort and excess time to go gambling places.

So from that im preventing myself to play much more because im a busy person in many things

Those who are busy in life but still love to gamble, online gambling is much possible for them and yeah more online casinos are now working and they continues to attract more players which I think more risky compare to the physical casinos. Traditional gambling may not be good enough for some gamblers and this is why they are trying to play online which has more option to play.

The advantages of traditional gambling are similar to those of social meetings with friends in a park when compared to the same meeting on skype. The experience is totally different. A real casino gives you the sound and smell, the ability to touch the machines and hold cards and chips in your hand. It allows you to share the fun with friends. It may not look like much but for some people it is.

But I think in modern society few people are willing to make the tradeoff, effort vs convenience. The convenience and variety of playing online likely outweighs the social aspects of casinos, at least that's my view.
