This thread is actually for those who have one way or the other mentioned on this section of the forum about catching fun in online gambling so as not to get addicted, which I am sure I am not the only person who must have come across this.
I totally understand that you can at least have some fun in real life casinos since there are people around you can gist with, you can even go with friends, there are other activities you get to lay your hands on etc, which can actually divert your attention from the impulse that comes with gambling and rather focus on the fun, instead of trying to win at all cost.
However, in online gambling, I really want to hear from those who said they can have fun doing so, which to me, it is more like virtually everyone gambling online is actually in it for the money. At least, I have gambled on freebitco.in dice few times, and I was bored as (whatever you want to fill in here), with the whole martingale strategy, that I had to look for a script to use while I just kept doing some other activities. Although, I know some platforms like cryptogames have a chat system where you can converse with other gamblers, but all these to me, still does not sound like fun compared to traditional level.
Please enlighten me just in case I am missing something here or do you share the same view?
Yes. Online gambling is not as fun as physical gambling because of many obvious reasons. In online gambling, there's a high probability that you'll get cheated by someone, or experience hacks, while with physical gambling, that's somewhat unlikely to happen. When you go to a real casino or gambling site, you'd get the real experience with real people, whereas with online gambling you just sit down on your computer and place your bets without interacting with anyone in real life. Even with integrated chat, and all the likes, the experience in online gambling is never compared to real life gambling.
Perhaps in the future, the online gambling experience would become improved to a point where you would be able to gamble in some sort of Virtual Reality with the ability to see other players' avatars and interact with them. Then with voice inputs, you could easily chat with your friends while you gamble. This would simulate the real gambling experience, as technology improves over time, making the need to go to physical locations completely unnecessary.
As well as you do, I have the same experience, and I think many gamblers would agree, since online gambling and real life gambling are two completely different worlds.
