I really think real life gambling is still better.
I like both of them, but it depends on my need. If I wanted to see some beautiful girls and gambling at the same time then I should go to the physical casino and take some real action of gambling. But if I'm tired from work and don't want to go outside but I wanted to relax and wants to have some fun with gambling, then I will just use online gambling. They are both good.
I will choose both either because that is going to be in a different situation that you are facing. If you are bored enough already with online gambling because there is no live interaction with other players then you can just simply visit real gambling by going to the real casino's or you can call out your friends and start playing poker in your home.
maybe in your place, real casino is available so you can choose both but for me, real casino is not available so i will choose online gambling, beside that, i don't have to show my details when i want to make a bet.
Basically you do not need to come to a casino if you just want to gamble, real gambling is not always in casino. You can play cards game such as poker with your friends at your own home or somewhere else and you do not need to show any details because your friends knows about you very well lol.
Indeed it is not safe if your country has a law against gambling then you might be jailed if the police caught you play gambling with your friends.
I feel sorry for those folks that doesn't have physical casino in their places but the feeling to gamble with real gambling is totally different from the online gambling because of the crowd and the people who are you gambling with. Panjul is right, just like what others said you can just call out your friends and start your own poker game or any gambling game at your home.
I can't believe that there are still some places that doesn't have real casino's but you can build your own. You don't have to invest big money with it, you can just have a place in your garage and start your own casino there depending on the needs of the gamblers there. Because online and real gambling have their very own differences and advantages.
gambling in some countries is illegal so there is no gambling place (casinos,...) in those countries. also in other countries in many cities specially smaller cities there aren't that many people interested in gambling so even if you open up a casino it will fail miserably because of lack of customers and high cost of keeping in running.
so yeah there are many places without a casino, it is not hard to believe.
Because I'm thinking that almost all countries have their very own gambling industry and it is one of the biggest industry that is helping their economy to boost. So for those gamblers who doesn't their own casino, they don't have any other choice but to gamble online too sad that they can't experience real gambling.
