Numbers in online gambling are rising every year in the past decade, it's a trend and I don't think it will end anytime soon!

Interesting article for people who want to take a look: https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/online-gambling-market

I think gambling is more accessible than ever before! There are more casinos around, on almost every corner, as far as the internet there are zillion casinos as well, and in the last few years it has been much easier to move money online ... so this growth is completely logical! So I believe the numbers will continue to rise, and we can only hope that people will not turn to the complete degens as some of us here!

As I said in the post above, growth in absolute terms occurs for objective reasons. If we want to know if the online gambling market is ahead of other markets, or some average indicator, we have to make many adjustments and compare it with other areas, such as streaming or other entertainment online.

I think the expansion of the gambling industry is moving towards online gambling and the number of gamblers is increasing from several factors:

- The proliferation of the internet
- Redistribution of jobs (the number of people working online increases every year)
- Pandemic

What is your opinion on the increasing number of gamblers?

We can't pretend not to know that gamblers are increasing. Sometimes I consider it that maybe hardship and poverty is contributing factor that has made people move into gambling. Gambling is becoming a new kind of business that the world is being revolutionize at the moment.

Based on rough analysis, it can be observed that gambling activity has increased when you compare the present and the past say a year before. Do we now have more gamblers because gambling is now possible online, made more easy and people can stay anonymous while gambling, or as a result of more persons getting to know about gambling? Has the harsh economic situation of some countries indirectly promoted gambling, turning more of its citizens to gamble in search of money?

What is your opinion on the increasing number of gamblers?

Many people look at short term variations and fail to make the simplest connections - Covid has turned the world upside down in the last couple years which has meant people in places like the US can be sat at home, still earning a salary and unable to spend any money at their usual retail locations. All that pent up energy is being directed towards online outlets and casinos have been a big benefactor of that. I think you have it backwards, far from having a harsh economic situation, many people have retained their income. Gambling has never been a reliable source of income, so only a fool thinks that they can make money from it in the long run and they soon learn that lesson the hard way.

What is your opinion on the increasing number of gamblers?

Nowadays the digital world and the internet are increasingly advanced and make it easier for many people to do a job, gambling activities which used to be considered as one of the taboo behaviors in society so make that very few people gamble, but now along with technological advances, many people with easy to gamble on online gambling sites without fear of being known by others, I think many things encourage people to gamble, such as looking for fun, fad and also the desire to earn money the easy way. I personally agree with what you said, it seems that the current economic pressure can also be a strong reason for people to gamble, the price of necessities is quite expensive but the lack of work available certainly makes people look for alternatives to get money and gambling can be the one solution.

In my opinion, the explanation for this increase is simple:

- With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, people of any age have the opportunity to create accounts on gambling sites because they are not asked to do KYC. just ask:

how many new players join online casinos every year that only accept fiat as deposit and withdrawal

how many new players join online casinos every year that accept cryptocurrencies as deposit and withdrawal

and finally the casinos management referral program has made many people who have a lot of followers in gaming platforms to start promoting the casinos.

I don't think it has a huge negative in fact because people nowadays are risking because of the hope of gaining a bigger winning in gambling. Gambling is also easier to access which is more convenient for new users who aren't into physical casinos before. As for me, there's nothing wrong with it as long as gamblers would still know their limit. Our technology these days has a huge impact on the increase of gamblers but I believe that it could still continue to develop in the future.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Based on several analyzes that the gambling industry this year is increasing more rapidly maybe also because it is easier online so it is easier for new people to understand how to play and also many people are at home due to the pandemic so I say as many as possible there are making a living in gambling even though their country is tough. a result of the pandemic.

Of course there will be many different opinions for me this is quite good with its increase and people are starting to switch to crypto gambling due to more events and other promotions.
I think in 2022 the development will be more than this year.

I agree that these days lots of people are into gambling in one or other way, big thanks to social media.
In my country even sporstbetting is not being conducted in any legal platforms, but fantasy based betting are becoming too common along with mobile apps. I remember there were no lotteries in my place some 5 to 10 years back but now I am able to buy lottery online and I can play any casino online.

The boom of internet and mobile technology are the core reasons to be blamed. I guess the situation might get worsen in coming years even more. Not sure what kind of initiatives we could expect from government side to safeguard the next generations.

I guess it's because of the Covid & lockdown we had. Personally, I don't gamble a lot but during the lockdown, my gambling habit has increased & that's still alarming for me LOL though I'm not an addictive one. Study shows that among the new gambler who have been attracted into gambling during the lockdown, 48% have been stickied or have increased their gambling habit. It makes sense why gambling is increasing.

I think the effect of the pandemic has also turned into a factor for the increasing number of gamblers. Due to the lockdowns that has been implemented last year and also for this year, there has been significant growth in the number of gamblers. While most of us have been locked down, we looked for something that can be done and also a way to make a profit instead. Those who don't have any idea how to make money but just to gamble, I think it's also a reason to the numbers. And for next year, the pandemic is still there and if there will still be lockdowns being implemented, expect the continuous increase.

I agree with this because amidst the pandemic, the gambling community booms as the casinos have migrated online. As you can see, there are a lot of gambling websites right now, unlike before, which also attracts many people because they are bored at home. This is really bad as it will lead to addictions and could cause a lot of negative effects on others. I know that we are affected by the pandemic and that it hit us financially, but still some of us manage to gamble their money just to try their luck.

It is widely known that when people were forced to isolate themselves massively due to the pandemic that there was an increase in the number of all kind of addictions, but why was that? And the reason was that people tried to find a way to cope with the situation, so I really think that the pandemic had a lot to do with the increase in the number of people that gamble as people were trying to find something fun to do without going outside their homes.

To begin with, I would specify in what boundaries we are going to discuss this issue. If we take the most general case, then I am ready to bet my money on the fact that every year there are more gamblers than in the previous year. Simply due to the fact that: the population is growing, the population is getting richer, and access to the internet is reaching an ever wider population.

I think increasing the number of gamblers is the main goal of the gambling industry. They want to get more gamblers in different countries to make a profit. But the government also needs to control this industry rather than just expecting tax revenue. We can't expect uncontrolled growth, that's not good in my opinion.

Despite the rapid growth of gambling, I hope gamblers realize what the risks of gambling are and they care about responsible gambling. That would be great for gamblers as well as for the industry.

Many new gamblers actually gamble because they hope to change their fate but their way is wrong

Gambling can indeed change a person's life to 180 degrees, but the majority will become gambling addicts and even criminals because of gambling addiction

If you want to suppress the growth of gamblers, the government must immediately work hard to think of a way

It could be accurate to say this generation was born and raised on video games.

Gambling on the internet is merely another video game where people can exchange their time and energy for profits and money. Rather than the usual video game happy ending™.

Yes, and the industry often called "gaming" not "gambling" because of the similarity.

The development of slots (especially) is crazy when you compare the graphics of Reactoonz 2 (2020) to older games like Myth (2018).
It's like a double-edge sword when experienced players surely have more fun playing better games, but at the same time attract young gullible newbies that can create problem if they then become problem gambler. I think more rule has to be set for the marketing/influencer, as well as better parenting, to educate their children about gambling.

What is your opinion on the increasing number of gamblers?

Nothing. It shouldn't even be considered as a vice imo (some do consider it as such, yes). Addiction should be the one there, not gambling. It's really just a simple activity or even call it a game, purpose may be for the risk of earning (and losing) money, or just purely entertainment, but in the end it's just an activity that doesn't really do anything wrong as long as managed properly. After entering the internet age, gambling has been made far easier to access so it's not really odd that a lot more people are trying it out. Not to mention that the current generation is pretty open to the idea of gambling (I mean, just look at all the famous games, they all have some sort of "gambling" feature like loot boxes).

The advent of social media and instagram have popularized gamblers like Vegas Dave who flaunt expensive supercars and wealth they claim to have acquired through gambling.

Gambling advertisements and marketing are much more common. The barrier of entry to becoming a gambler much easier to achieve over the internet.

Many different factors converged to create a perfect storm of gambling becoming a more popular and mainstream trend.

It definitely is on the rise. Many like myself have noticed the change over the last few years. Sports commentators acknowledge betting odds and cut promos for sportsbooks wheras only a few years earlier both were unheard of. Athletes too have begun to do promotional work for gambling websites and books. A far cry from Pete Rose being indicted and dishonored over his sports gambling career.

Besides the harsh economy that push people to gamble for funds, they are other people who get employed to work in casinos like in Las Vegas where a colossal amount of people get employed into different gambling firms annually. Looking at the online live casinos the live dealers have created jobs for young pretty ladies to help stake games for players and as well their presence in the live casino room makes the game pulsating which attracts more people to play live games online.

So, gambling is another means where a nations economy can be increased tremendously because of it's addiction of some people and the fun attached to it. Some people also see it as the fastest means of doubling their money.

What is your opinion on the increasing number of gamblers?

Your question reminds me of one of the sources I've read in December 2020, gambling activities, gambling companies, and gambling addiction.

From research:
Impact of COVID-19 on Online Gambling – A General Population Survey During the Pandemic

Quote

In women (n = 253), 17% were moderate-risk gamblers and 20% were problem gamblers (a total of 37%), and in men (n = 744), the corresponding percentages were 15 and 6 % (total 21%, p < 0.001 for gender difference, chi-square linear-by-linear).

Quote

Keywords: COVID-19, gambling disorder, problem gambling, behavioral addiction, online gambling, sports betting.

Here I can draw one conclusion, the increase in gambling activity, be it from gambling companies, gambling addicts, caused by covid and the pandemic, the reasons are as quoted above, additionally based on online activities.

Before the pandemic, people were busy with their respective activities, not caring about online/internet activities, since the pandemic, almost everyone has known what is called android, plus gambling sites are easy to access, the biggest factor is addiction.

It's the combination of both technology advancement and also the economic situation today. Obviously, it's easy to go online today than it was 10 years ago. I didn't have a phone that can launch a browser back in the days but today it's not just a browser but an app of ca casino where you don't even need to fill up data.

With all these and the economic situation where people just receive money from the government without even working, it's easy to decide to lose it on casinos. For people who experience the financial harshness, they might actually gamble to take their chance.

Has the harsh economic situation of some countries indirectly promoted gambling, turning more of its citizens to gamble in search of money?

There has been a report about this before on this forum about a state in UK that the rich a area are not gambling like the less privileged people living in another area. People with less privilege will think more to gamble as a way to earn. But gambling should not be like that, this is the reason many gamblers become addicted while many others are suffering from losses.

It's not alarming because people just love to risk.

Gambling is for everyone, whatever your financial status, you can gamble.
With the advent of online gambling and people learning how to use crypto in gambling, it's always possible to see consistent growth, but overall it does not destroy like as long as the government is doing its job which is the regulate gambling sites and help people to educate themselves about the risk of gambling.

An increase of gamblers is good for the gambling industry, and with that happening, it also helps the government increase their tax revenue.
