Other gamblers can't resist in gambling so probably they find ways on how to gamble during the pandemic and this includes by means resorted to gambling online. Though it may be difficult for them at first for new environment and technology to be used in gambling still not a hindrance to gamble. As the saying goes that "if there's a will, there's a way for everything that one wanted to". However, I think that there are only few of them join in to blockchain online gambling platform because they need to learn first about cryptocurrency.

When the pandemic begins, most of the traditional casinos in my country was force to close because of the virus and it is the reason for me to open account in different online gambling casinos and online betting website. Actually, I spend most of my time in playing dice, slots and even poker. I'm too bored also that is why I open an account in online gambling sites. The traditional casinos are now operating again so for sure that many online gamblers will switch to traditional casinos again but I will stay playing in online casinos because I know that it is still risky to go outside.
Boredom push us to do gambling, I also do gambling due to people who are showing their payouts despite lockdown and is able to win. It inspires me to do more gambling since I gamble once in a while before but during quarantine, I really do gamble a lot that came to a point that I includes it in my budget. I know many tries their luck in gambling and been depended on gambling during those quarantine and are trying to win to have profit or money to sustain their living due to loss of job.
Everything changed when the pandemic begins, there are activities that I cannot finish and do like the way before and it is the reason why it pushes me to spend most of my time in online casinos because it can kill my boredom. I'm a sports bettor before but it got changed because most of the sports in that time are not operating because of the protocols that they need to follow. I'm now used to play slots and dice and it helps me to be productive and kill the boredom that I keep feeling.
People are really getting bored the longer this quarantine and pandemic lasts. Until now, the pandemic is still here so most of the people are still required to stay at home (unless you are working), so no wonder why some gaming companies suddenly gain such revenue.

I have been gambling online even before so there's no much change, it's just that the quarantine tempts me to gamble more than what I usually do because of boredom. But I have a question now that you get used playing slot and dice, how does it help you to be productive aside from killing your boredom?
Intensity of playing more would really be there since theres no other thing that we can do but to stay up with our own home but to think that it isnt only gambling is the only way to kill your boredom

but people do just go into most common activity where is to play gambling all the way and now via online since physical ones arent really opened yet fully.Its just normal to say that revenue on online

casinos had grown up due to this pandemic but if physical casinos are slowly trying to open then it will surely be normalized once again but as a gambler im not still that confident to go outside

until everything goes back to normal.

This is a real problem that not many are talking about, where I live almost anything that can be considered fun is closed down including casinos, so people are really hungry to have something to do they enjoy and gambling online is suddenly becoming more popular where I live.

Just in my circle of friends three people have started gambling online when they have never do so before, since they know I am a long term gambler they ask me questions about the games and I try to guide them so they do not lose too much money or become addicts.

During the pandemic, I am one of those who are grateful to have gambling, previously it is a perfect combination during a lockdown as well as almost all people are staying inside while playing online gaming, therefore, I think there is a positive impact of the casino during community quarantine and obviously it is especially enjoyed by all players, and the boring situation is minimized, so I proudly represent that gambling is useful.
In times that many are at home and looking for ways to earn, those who are not particular in trading will definitely choose to do gambling, or by that time that crypto is also down and it's hard to do trading then gambling and creating a hobby is an option. I tried to focus on trading those time, do Enroll in some online class but quarantine is too long that we wanted somehow to enjoy while having the possibility to gain profit. While profit is unsure, gambling can atleast make us win when we are lucky.

Some can find that strange, but not me. I am one of those people who enjoy gambling with crypto for years. In my opinion this record is just a confirmation of good work, in crypto we break records almost all the time! At least some record is been broken at least once per month, so why not crypto gambling to not make some new record here and there?
And this record is not the top, it's a long way to the top, but we are climbing every year, sometimes it's going faster, sometimes slower, but it's going, and I am sure we will break at least few more records by the end of this year!

Even though some of the traditional gambling has been opened but I am still worried about going out just to gamble for me online gambling is enough and many games available there are safer from all infected viruses, maybe for some traditional gambling people is a unique thing where they are able to make eye contact and talk, but of course there are still risks that will occur, the truth is that this pandemic is not over yet.

Knowing that the virus still don't have any proven vaccines, it's adding the risk if you'll go out just to play gamble. Online
games are available though likewise, traditional gamblers find it's new to their eyes and some wants to have a closer contact to each opponents that they have, but considering your health and the risk of being infected it's better to play online and be safe. Also reason why online gaming
are booming during this pandemic. People preferred to play inside their house.
Now that physical  places are already opening up then we would able to see that those people whom do prefer on playing into these physical places will surely comeback into things
on where they do get used to and next decision will vary if they do mind of the risk of their health or wouldnt mind as long they do able to play into those physical places but if
you are a person thats on the right mind then you wouldnt risk out your health just because of your leisure seeking feeling.Online gambling is booming up and making
up big revenues since this pandemic indeed increase the demand.

Animoca Brands, the firm behind noted NFT-powered games The Sandbox and F1 Delta Time, has reported record revenue amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

Animoca Brands, the firm behind blockchain-powered games The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes, has reported unaudited revenue for the first four months of 2020 of $7.34 million amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first quarter was Animoca Brands’ strongest on record with $4.33 million in revenue, followed by a record month with $3 million during April.

Animoca Brands held $6.08 million in fiat and crypto assets at the end of April. Roughly $770,000 of the company’s holdings comprised Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), alongside $1.12 million in various altcoins.

Animoca attributed the increase in its crypto holdings to successful sales involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for its titles The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes.

The experts think that the coronavirus lockdown has fostered a “change in behavior” among many new and ‘born-again’ gamers that will last into the longer-term — with gaming becoming a cornerstone of their entertainment-seeking rituals.

How do you think about this? Did you start playing blockchain games at home because of isolation?

Quote

-To stay safe during the time of the Pandemic the online Gambling is a safe heaven .
Going on the normal gambling sites is also a good option but with Crypto gambling it provides us with.
_better options
_variety
_more privacy
_no KYC and such things
Plus even before the pandemic these sites have been operating very well therefore there are some people who are just discovering them right now.
-It does have many advantages as compared to the normal time therefore this was bound to happen sooner or later , this would have made the crypto adoption a little easier for the Fiat gamblers .

*At the same time there have been a rise in the number of companies who are opting for the online Gambling sites , they are even including the cryptocurrencies in them.

*This would mean even in the future the crypto market will be seen as a good thing well at least by the gamblers !!

*Increase in revenue will mean that the company will continue to use cryptos , plus even the Government might be benefited this way .

when gambling it will always have a risk whereas if you do not dare to face the risk and confidence it will make you hesitant to take steps, because so far when you dare to take risks it will be more confident even though there is no guarantee of profit.

Most of the people here are bored in their houses when the lockdown are so tight and they are thinking a way of earning money while enjoying themselves and I guess if they just knew this they might take this on.
Another factor is simply desperation, it is known that when people do not find a realistic way to pay for  their debts they are going to take more risky decisions and gambling seems like the perfect opportunity since you can get a lot of money with a small amount of capital, it seems to be too good to be true and it is but when people are desperate they will do anything for money.

And as we know due to this pandemic tens of millions of people around the world lost their jobs and without a way to pay for their debts they found in online gambling a possibility to do it even if we know over the long term this is not really a solution.

If you have nothing else to do and a lot of spare time and if you are bored watching movies then majority of them will spend their time gambling, but not sure what is blockchain games but i started virtual sports betting in the past few months as there was literally nothing to do and the fun part is that majority of the time the underdog wins and most of them can relate to that as you cannot sit idle inside your house for long .

COVID-19 has thrown people into a lot of crisis but if there is any way for blockchain gaming companies to earn records during the epidemic it will be able to overcome this crisis. For now I don't think so and since it is better to wait for new players who want to try their game feedback.
We hope that people can survive in Covid-19. People will try to search for those jobs online and offline, and if they can find online jobs, I think they will survive. While people search for jobs, they will see some advertisements about crypto gambling, and that can make them curious how it feels to play the crypto gambling. The blockchain gaming companies will see their opportunity to earn money from that, and I think they will develop some new games that will be different from the usual games.

During lockdown a lot of people have played a lot in online casinos just to spend some funny time Tongue
However I guess that this is just a drop in the ocean. More and more gamers will be part of this revolution, it's just matter of time Wink
the important thing is that peoplr are now acknowledging the presence of crypto currency gambling and this may attract more in sooner time.

Because the advantage of crypto base  gambling is you are investing while playing,since the volatility is indeed,the chance of growing our gambling currency is always there.

The revenue of crypto casinos is of course getting bigger each day because it is a growing industry. Crypto casinos are just a few years old and have so much potential compared to the old traditional fiat-based casinos. So with or without the presence of COVID-19 pandemic the income of crypto casinos are rising.

Also it is thriving in times of pandemic because it is online-based. Since people are encouraged to stay at home then they are most likely gonna look for fun online.

In this pandemic, the casino is trying to reopen the business, and that can be the way for the casino to get revenue after it's close for months. They will invite their old members and make some promotions in public, so new people will come to their place and play many gambling games. If the casino succeeds in inviting many gamblers, that means the casino will have the chance to get the revenue. And if the casino can give the best services to their members, that can make their income bigger in a short time because we know that gambling industries are a million dollars business.

The pandemic hasn't subsided just yet so it would still be very hard for majority of the casinos to reopen. Those which managed to reopen despite the pandemic has to lessen their casino accommodation to maintain a decent physical distancing inside. Another obstacle is that many gamblers may still have fear within them to go into crowded places, especially if they are just going there for no necessary reason at all. Aside from that, they also need to increase their operation cost with sanitizers and alcohol dispensers in every corner.

So if they manage to make a positive revenue despite the pandemic, it won't be the same way back when the virus wasn't around.

I would like to know how much they raise during pre-COVID and versus last year. Because if it doubles their revenue, that is a good part to them but for sure, it wasn't that much.

Now, as we face the crisis, tend to see how businesses dried up and suffered declining sentiment and that much more for the gaming company since people need to follow health protocols implemented by the government. The devastating effect of COVID-19 causes a lot of changes and the sad part is that, we can't easily get back to normal rather than adopting the propose new normal.

First of all, I have to say that this is an edge case. Surely good for them and nice to have the word for crypto out. But It's rare for a company to succeed during the pandemic and the one in question was blessed with an extremely lucrative deal. Otherwise it's likely that it could have seen losses like everyone else.

Also worth noting that their recent success doesn't really have to do much with their crypto aspects. So it's not entirely correct to bring up both aspects of the company and try to play it as the success could be attributed to them using crypto. It was just a coincidence that they happened to have been using cryptocurrency relate technologies when they got a good deal.

Apparently, it is not surprising as we've know that we're currently at home lockdown looking for something to spend the new normal day of our life. That said, gamers have more time to play anytime they want at all and in general there a lot of people now circulating in using internet, which online operators benefits it most.
That also means once the situation becomes normal the casinos might face a huge deficit as people will start moving back to the physical casinos which are closed or paused in current situation.

This is like a transition basically where sometimes online casinos face a deficit and the real casinos will gain advantage, like an online casino scams then the benefit goes to physical casino while a pandemic like now brings huge advantage to online casinos. I like the million profit profits they are gaining no but they should know that these are going to drop drastically once the real life casinos start operating again.

During the lockdown as there is no other way to gamble or bet so online had to picked up the momentum and it has happened that way.

Yes that has contributed in general but I believe the crypto casino industry was always going to bloom soon because the provably fair system only exists in these casinos and almost all the games can be verified which earlier players had to trust the casinos, I mean I gambled a lot on bet365 and there games are cool but I always felt like some slots were rigged. Not accusing them just my own feelings.

More so ever there would be huge amount of increase in the teenage category too who would have started gambling online during this period as a source of entertainment. And if they get addicted it will be a very big thing for the gambling sites.

Yes, the numbers are only going higher with time because someone who once gets into these casinos is not going back to traditional ones and new gamblers are adding every day.

Yes and casinos like stake are growing with a decent speed as I saw they gave away like $121,027 in weekly bonus and imagine if a casino is giving out such a hefty amount per week to it's gamblers combined then how much the casino must be making of their own and what level of wagering must be going on there. Same goes for primedice and they also give out bi-weekly bonuses I think, although I only play at stake not used PD for sometime now so don't know what is going on there now days.

I feel like these numbers are going to only go higher with coming time and situation like covid-19 are only fueling these because everyone wants to gamble online now days rather than going in a real casino.

Maybe this is the bew normal, post covid 19 also the condition of the people who uses online platform may remain the same because psychologically people willl set into something if they are practicing it for a while so online gambling industry is going to get much more customers.

Not maybe, but obviously it is now the "new normal" we're doing for the past months during the coronavirus pandemic. Online industry now is the the top growing economy because of the COVID-19 effect. Moreover, as I've said it is not surprising to see like that during pandemic, what's more surprising is all the company that forced closed by the government and file a case of bankruptcy because of no revenue.

I guess for next few months we will see more, or it till the time there is no proper stability or vaccine reaches would continue this way itself. More so ever there would be huge amount of increase in the teenage category too who would have started gambling online during this period as a source of entertainment. And if they get addicted it will be a very big thing for the gambling sites.

It's the most convenient way if you really want to gamble or play since it's safer to bet online than going outside and risking your lives. It's really a big opportunity for this industry to attract the public because almost everyone is spending their quarantine time on the internet.

There's no doubt that even teenagers/young adults can get hooked by online gaming since they are bored staying inside their houses. But if they addicted to it, it's their own responsibility since the gaming company wouldn't care about it as long as they are earning.

Animoca Brands, the firm behind noted NFT-powered games The Sandbox and F1 Delta Time, has reported record revenue amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

Animoca Brands, the firm behind blockchain-powered games The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes, has reported unaudited revenue for the first four months of 2020 of $7.34 million amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first quarter was Animoca Brands’ strongest on record with $4.33 million in revenue, followed by a record month with $3 million during April.

Animoca Brands held $6.08 million in fiat and crypto assets at the end of April. Roughly $770,000 of the company’s holdings comprised Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), alongside $1.12 million in various altcoins.

Animoca attributed the increase in its crypto holdings to successful sales involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for its titles The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes.

The experts think that the coronavirus lockdown has fostered a “change in behavior” among many new and ‘born-again’ gamers that will last into the longer-term — with gaming becoming a cornerstone of their entertainment-seeking rituals.

How do you think about this? Did you start playing blockchain games at home because of isolation?

This is not surprising at all, while many industries have been hit hard by the pandemic there are many other industries that are going through a growth on their profits and this is true for the gaming industry, even people that have never played video games before and may have even mocked those that enjoyed the activity are now seeing that video games are no so bad after all.

They allow you to entertain yourself on the safety of your own home without the risk of infection and that is definitely a plus during this pandemic.

Apparently, it is not surprising as we've know that we're currently at home lockdown looking for something to spend the new normal day of our life. That said, gamers have more time to play anytime they want at all and in general there a lot of people now circulating in using internet, which online operators benefits it most.

First of all, I strongly recommend to quote the copied text from the CoinTelegraph article or you likely get banned (if not yet happened) for plagarism.

Secondly, to take up the subject, it is the figures of only one crypto gambling provider. I would not transfer the good figures of one provider to all blockchain gambling providers, because it could also be individual factors (besides COVID-19) that provided the boost. But in general, it should come as no surprise that such providers benefit from the situation. Millions of people are at home bored. Many of them (as in the USA) even receive extra high unemployment benefits, which many have invested in the stock market or in gambling. The question will be whether the good figures will remain after the lockdown period ended.

It would surely change  because majority of those people will surely comeback into physical places but im not saying that all would comeback unless if there would be quite number of gamblers would decide
to stick on doing online even if this pandemic is over.

You are right that numbers will vary on individual basis because we cant really give generalization just because we have seen it on a single or few do increase its traffic and revenue due to pandemic.

It is true that  this situation did really fire up online gambling industry because people are prohibited to go outside  and its just normal to think off that they would surely play via online.
If the pandemic will end for sure that the revenue of the online gambling website and online casinos will decrease, the reason why it goes up very high because many traditional casinos are still close but the good thing is some of them are now reopening again where they have a lot of welcome offers and rewards. For those professional gamblers, for sure they are now excited to play again in real casinos than in online casinos.

When it comes to players then we  do know that there are really indeed difference when it comes to demand neither offline or online and its not really that much serious to talk about revenue or how many people  do play on each field but one things for sure that they do have their own players that do prefer to play in the place on where they are suited in.

No matter which two it doesnt matter because sooner or later people will just switch on to those places on where they've been hanging out since from the  start.If they do find out that online gambling is interesting then
they might stay but if not then they will surely go back as simple as  that.

During the lockdown as there is no other way to gamble or bet so online had to picked up the momentum and it has happened that way. I guess for next few months we will see more, or it till the time there is no proper stability or vaccine reaches would continue this way itself. More so ever there would be huge amount of increase in the teenage category too who would have started gambling online during this period as a source of entertainment. And if they get addicted it will be a very big thing for the gambling sites.

I am okay with people advertising but I wonder who the marketing executives at this Sandbox company who thought it was a good idea to boast that they were doing well when the pandemic is generally bad news for most people. A lot of us lost our jobs and income,,, and I know a lot of people affected even worse than my family. Not such a good win for the guys at the article.

That's just how the world works there are two sides of the coin, the unfortunates and the successful. Im sure the people who wrote this needed also some money, it's true for all other content writers in this pandemic crisis and by getting those revenue in some way the company is also helping the government through tax benefiting the economy. Im just being neutral here, im looking at different perspectives nothing personal.

True! Online gambling operators are seeing a surge in volume due to the Covid induced lockdown! If you have noticed, bitcointalk also seeing a surge in online crypto related casino advertising. Many new signature campaigns have opened up at the same time. That's really a good news for the crypto market and regular gamblers because now they don't have to go out to get some adrenaline rush! All can be enjoyed at home using cryptocurrency.
Indeed there are no other activities besides staying at home and trying to live a life, but you must know that when many people are only at home then economic conditions will affect, so now many online gambling places are open because they try to trigger people at home to enter gambling. and try to multiply its assets from gambling.

It's not all about trying to multiply their assets since there are others who just bored and seeking for something time eater to ease their selves but maybe their are others who do that but I there are few of them playing these days, And I really feel that there are no people willing to take a risk on something unsure.

There's a lot of people in their homes that aren't really receiving much entertainment and are clinging on gambling as a part of their routine to not feel the boredom. Crypto gambling is accessible and easy to get a hold of, so it's no surprise that they are posting those numbers up on their revenues. Also, similar gambling platforms saw a surge in the number of visitors and players ever since quarantine protocols were put in place all over the world, so it's not just them who's having a fun time operating a gambling platform.

Yes it is good news for us because if many new gambling players use crypto it will help a lot to the crypto to rise the value of the coins.

We cannot blame them because they are just stating a fact about their sales, they are serving people who are in lockdown and must remain in lockdown or quarantine and they must find a way to entertain themselves, and this gaming company has done their purpose on targetting people who want to be entertained while they are in lockdown.


The important thing is whether what Op & the website posted is the truth and whether the company is not doing that for evil (like for boasting, to belittle other companies, to attract undeserved attention etc)... What matters is the intention... whether it is done with good or bad intention, and if what the company posted about their success is true? Hopefully they deal on good/safe games

Then the gambling blockchain can provide a solution help provide entertainment, this will definitely
have a positive effect on the gaming company's blockchain revenue.


It's the best time for a gaming company to offer new games and their best games now that people are ay home and even if the pandemic is over they can sustain their growth because if the company has a lot of attractive games, people will always come back even if the pandemic is over now that people have seen and experienced some of the games in the times of lockdown.
Since the pandemic started mostly people are into games online and for sure it increases the numbers of gamers. Well I agree to that Blockchain gaming company could help in terms of entertainment that users will keep coming back on the site. Good to have unique ideas added to the site also.

The revenue of crypto casinos is of course getting bigger each day because it is a growing industry. Crypto casinos are just a few years old and have so much potential compared to the old traditional fiat-based casinos. So with or without the presence of COVID-19 pandemic the income of crypto casinos are rising.

Also it is thriving in times of pandemic because it is online-based. Since people are encouraged to stay at home then they are most likely gonna look for fun online.

In this pandemic, the casino is trying to reopen the business, and that can be the way for the casino to get revenue after it's close for months. They will invite their old members and make some promotions in public, so new people will come to their place and play many gambling games. If the casino succeeds in inviting many gamblers, that means the casino will have the chance to get the revenue. And if the casino can give the best services to their members, that can make their income bigger in a short time because we know that gambling industries are a million dollars business.

When the curfew began, people had to stay home for a long time. Some of the bored people had more sex: D Or they preferred to gamble more. Gambling sites earned more and child birth rates increased.

wow, I think with sex people never loss, lol. .
anyway, it's true that it has also help the increase of the revenue of online gamblign sites, or even the blockchain gaming company since crypto world was introduce to the world, and the evidence wit that is our stable market despite of the economic struggle in most countries.
I think sex will only make emotions calmer and when gambling is used it is possible to get profit because you do it with a cool head and very relaxed, stay at home and enjoy being with the people you love.

A lot of us lost our jobs and income,,, and I know a lot of people affected even worse than my family. Not such a good win for the guys at the article.
For me, it depends on how you will view what they had reported about their revenue. For others, it may sound like they are boasting while other businesses and individuals are having a hard time earning money. But for others, it's just a normal report. Perhaps they are just proud that amidst the pandemic, the industry or the company is doing well because blockchain gaming is getting recognized by the public.

And I think, it's not just about the revenue. It's about the impact that the company receives even during the pandemic. It's no doubt after all since gamers would tend to just play online because they can't go outside.  It may also be one of the reasons why they had a record revenue since it brings attention to the blockchain gaming industry.

There is no exceptions in the pandemic days, everybody needs to recover day by day that's why it's very important to set priority on basic needs instead of promoting gambling. Maybe other wealthy individuals doesn't take this seriously, but let's do respect some specific feelings that doesn't recognize the successful stories while pandemic is still present.
I bet that person will not want to show himself to the public because I think some people will not like what he said.
People are trying to get up again after the lockdown in their country, and they are trying to search for new jobs.
I think many people will feel difficult to search for a new job because they need to compete with many other people who search for the same jobs as them.
It is no need to boast about what they did at the pandemic because people will think that it is better not to come to their place again because they get the money while people lose their money.

The company will say that the brand and their products have an impact but I prefer to believe what the experts are saying that our current situation is a big factor, in making the success of their products, people are lockdown in their homes, they explored everything online especially gaming and gambling where they forget their anxiety and boredom.

That's true, people will do everything to forget anxiety caused by this pandemic! For some people its gambling and gaming, but I am sure that people are interested in other online activities too. Of course that every brand will push their own product and tell all the best thing about it, I think it's what we have here. And it's what we like to hear, positive things about what we like to do, and how others are joining. Like some other people I believe this is just a temporary spike, when things go back to normal many people will return to their daily activities. What's important here is the people who decided to learn about crypto and to try some crypto stuff, gambling or anything else. People expect crypto gambling boom, I think we will not see that, we are growing slowly and steady and that will be like that in the future. Occasional spikes will happen, but it will be temporary.

Animoca Brands held $6.08 million in fiat and crypto assets at the end of April. Roughly $770,000 of the company’s holdings comprised Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), alongside $1.12 million in various altcoins.

Animoca attributed the increase in its crypto holdings to successful sales involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for its titles The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes.

The experts think that the coronavirus lockdown has fostered a “change in behavior” among many new and ‘born-again’ gamers that will last into the longer-term — with gaming becoming a cornerstone of their entertainment-seeking rituals.

How do you think about this? Did you start playing blockchain games at home because of isolation?

No, I am using cryptocurrency in gambling but I am not into blockchain gaming. Those are two different things. The games which I play such as dice or sports betting are accepting cryptocurrency but are not implementing their provably fair games on a blockchain.

Its still not that huge though. For the first 4 months since the start of covid19 lockdown is just $7.34M but at least it's growing. They should have mentioned how much revenue is recorded before the lockdown so we can also see how much growth.

Everything we do this lockdown is online including gambling. It wouldn't be surprising about the revenue growth amidst the lockdown because people will just look for entertainment.


   I agree with you Target, we should see the numbers from before, it would be a complete research, and we would see the
growth in numbers! You are right about rising interest in everything online, and in crypto-currencies too. People was locked
and home, and they didn't have much to do except to explore the internet.

Theres no other way but to go online but to know that establishments is gradually opening their doors back then we do saw that numbers would be somewhat be divided once again because once a physical place gambler would always be a physical place gambler in the end of the line.

We do saw significant changes in numbers or statistics of people who do deal with online gambling due to the current situation which is normal but knowing the actual numbers will really be impossible.

We can differentiate but theres no point on doing it because it is already understandable because demand will depend on the situation we are in.

I think it is expected to see that the revenue of blockchain gaming companies and also online gambling industry are increased too high. Most of the people during lockdown are bored so for sure to kill their boredness they are opening account in some online gambling website and also playing different blockchain games. The online gambling industry is now making a name and there are a lot of traditional gamblers are now interested to it. If you will research about online gambling industry, it is now the trending industry and that is the reason why many investors want to open some gambling website.

The experts think that the coronavirus lockdown has fostered a “change in behavior” among many new and ‘born-again’ gamers that will last into the longer-term — with gaming becoming a cornerstone of their entertainment-seeking rituals.

How do you think about this? Did you start playing blockchain games at home because of isolation?

Lock down has been the best time to introduce new gaming and gambling sites because people are at home glued on their TV and their laptop cellphone and desktop to keep up with the latest craze news and happenings, and with the time frame before the cure expect more surge in gaming and gambling sites, they are taking this one in a chance opportunity.

This will surely still gain more popularity because of the pandemic that is occurring around the world. It is true that some countries already defeated the pandemic BUT what about those countries that really need their own incomes. It will surely invite them to play Blockchain Games once they start learning about it. Blockchain games are fine to play since you can use your self earned money in the Cyrpto Industry and use that as a capital to start playing.

And what they mean by "born-again" gamers

It seems they are not a gambling gaming operator. Their games look more like MMORPG games to me. You can definitely buy and sell things using cryptocurrency but there is no gambling aspect attached to it. It's just that, the games are built on ETH blockchains as mentioned in their website.

Not realted to gambling at all!

And this pandemic would not ease so easily forcing people to get used to living and enjoying the life online. Blockchain gaming are not just fun, they can provide fairness and predictable results than other real gaming platforms and provide a sense of safety and easiness to the users. Gaming online unlike a real casino is much more soothing and though it may lack social factor to a large extent, introverts are going to enjoy it much well.

Those numbers are big, and this also means that people at home want to play the games and gamble as well. Those revenue in April itself proves how big this market of online gaming is and then this could be the future of having blockchain gaming.

Corona virus does have a bad effect globally, but on the other hand Corona virus make benefits to several parties. One of them is
the gaming blockchain company increases its revenue. This is due to lockdown for several months, so most of the world's population
spends its time at home. And surely playing games to eliminate boredom, so surely many people play blockchain games at home.
Especially if the vaccine hasn't found yet, blockchain gaming company revenue records will continue to rise. I am among those who
spend time at home playing blockchain games too.

Not surprising really. It was to be expected at some point, since a lot of people have no where to go, might as well go gambling right? Well, there are options such as playing, but well, most of those that have nothing to do and have money belong to the age where playing games is a foreign thing and would instead play games like poker in the past when they were young (yes, I'm implying that most of these people would be around above 30s or 40s). Still, though, such cases would just probably be reduced in the long term, especially since a lot of people are having a hard time with financing their situation. It probably is true for the first 3-4 months, but after that, you'd probably see a drop in online casinos' revenue.

It means that this pandemic also gives positive sides for some certain gambling industry especially the online one, right? Well, we all do not want this pandemic because this really kills us, our health, and also our economy.
I believe here that the online gambling industry becomes bigger and increase so significantly during this pandemic. the first reason is that gambling is addicted, once you play it, you must play it again and again. And when the casino is closed, none you can do expect to play gambling online. That is why many people switch their gambling activities in online sites. Moreover, many newcomers also do the same because they have no choice of activities and income because of lockdown everywhere. therefore, gambling is the right choice and you can spend more time, play with joy, and also earn some income from gambling. that is why the income of the online gambling industry increases significantly.

There are pros in spite of lots of cons that this pandemic do gives out specially on online businesses not only limited to gambling industry but also in others as well.
People cant make out transactions physically which basically means that people will most do things online this is why it is somewhat relevant and normal to consider or presume out
that they are making advantage on the current condition due to the fact that people are making or engaging with it which is normal.We know that this is the truth but
sooner or later when these things are over or shall we say we do return into our normal lives we would able to see the normal condition when it comes to division of
popularity and usage.

Definitely, the reason behind this record hike in terms of Animoca's successful profit achievements is the fact that everyone is free atm, so they're all looking for newer resources every single day in order to entertain themselves. Who doesn't love gambling (I mean, there are some who'd just burn their whole money into gambling if given a chance) and these lovers just go over these online gambling sites, play there with their skillset and yet lose a lot because the house will take everything in the long run.

^ When we talk blockchain that is involved cryptocurrency as well and probably this may also bring interest to people use crypto in gambling businesses like online casino which is good to anyone who always stays at home due to the health-conscious. This is expected that the revenue will increase because worldwide there are a lot of games and of course there are also bettors that make either profit to the bookmakers or gambling owner. Nevertheless, let us do hope that young people or teenagers need parent guidance.

Oh, so this is an advertisement huh? I was interested to know about the record revenue for a known establish gaming company.

anyway, most of the establishment now are down due to pandemic and that includes the gaming.company. Revenue now may not be good for them to discuss because it truly hurts knowing that business is not good. But, there are few who became strong and establish like Mobile Legend. More and  more users are practicing to plat this game due to lock down.

So, if we will be talking about revenue then I guess we should start with the establish and strong one in this pandemic era.

In this process, I think it is an expected result and this is a very good advertisement for the websites that provide blockchain infrastructure and services. Especially in this process, I think that the gamblers who spend a lot of time and spend money in classical casinos also prefer these platforms online will make a great contribution and it is a very good reason for people to learn how useful the blockchain is by getting new habits. In addition, people learned that while using online services, such infrastructures can gamble the service they are using without having to blame. I hope this success continues, many gamblers now prefer to use online services using blockchain infrastructure.

Its not really that a surprising thing and its just normal to think that its just normal for traffic to rose up that high due to this current condition that we are facing
and since people are mostly online or surfing out on the net then we can really say that this is one big opportunity for online platforms/casinos to take advantage
on getting up users and this is why we do saw lots of promotions and new gambling sites that are popping out from nowhere since they do know that

The lockdown has increased the network traffic to quite an extent such that we have a Youtube channel for almost all the shits happening over in this world. This is probably due to the reason people are geared towards gaining a little bit of extra income from their home. This is one among the reason, we have been seeing an increase in the traffic for gambling companies. The gamblers who made a decent chunk of money prior the pandemic should have been utilizing this period to make their gains even higher and on the other hand, people who had lost their jobs were searching for various ways to make an online income feasible.

Recently FortuneJack has introduced a reward program (MIAMI GARAGE) which will be quite favorable for the long term gamblers in the midst of this ongoing pandemic. This will indeed develop an interest among the gamblers and would make them to participate for claiming the rewards. Older trustworthy casinos like FortuneJack, cryptogames have always been in favorable to the gamblers and similarly they have seen good profits over the course of the pandemic. Animoca Brands on the other hand had been a good player in the industry and they acquired and invested in various companies throughout their lifetime. Along with that, their partnership with HTC has proven to be a credibility factor for gamblers.

It means that many people or gamblers only switch their activities from offline to online. Well, online gambling sites are very popular during the pandemic. Yeah. for those who are dedicated to their life and working for gambling, this pandemic becomes so bad for their life. That is why the existence f the online gambling can become a good solution for them. They may love offline casinos with their great environment. However, they also love their life. And they prefer to switch t the online game in order to avoid being infected by the virus.

I think that the reason can really make us aware of gambling. In this case, many people may be not easy leaving offline gambling for long time like this. But they have no choice and they may need income from gambling.

And the existence of online gambling sites like what reported by Animoca Brands is only one of the industries that are probably profitable during this pandemic

For online gambling this pandemic situation is like blessing in disguise. Due to lockdown all the people have started to gamble it online and surely all the major gambling sites would have done well during this time as compared to their previous years. Also, we are seeing many new gambling sites being coming up to take market share.


It's an online gambling site booms because of the pandemic but they will likely to retain their revenues even if the pandemic is over, because those new players will see and feel the excitement and the easiness and comfortable of playing in the comfort of their home, they will likely add it to their gambling activities.
You have a point that some new gamblers who experienced playing in an online environment could stay just playing online and have might stay away from physical casino's but this won't be effective to all gamblers. There are some who love the real casino environment. Socialization, Good music, the comfortability that the real casino gave them could make them go back to their old sanctuaries. But overall the revenue rise they got from this pandemic is much better compared to the before of this pandemic event.

There is indeed a significant rise when it comes to revenue since we do know that this pandemic did restrict out people on going outside which simply means that people are mostly online
in the safe of their homes which means they do really access out these gambling sites prior to their gambling habit or activity since they dont really have any choice to do so.

Its just normal to think of that revenue of those physical ones are heavily affected knowing on how much they do generate out revenues when this pandemic hadnt appeared

but as said once these places are available then its no surprising that old gamblers that used to these places will surely comeback.

Animoca Brands, the firm behind noted NFT-powered games The Sandbox and F1 Delta Time, has reported record revenue amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

Animoca Brands, the firm behind blockchain-powered games The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes, has reported unaudited revenue for the first four months of 2020 of $7.34 million amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first quarter was Animoca Brands’ strongest on record with $4.33 million in revenue, followed by a record month with $3 million during April.

Animoca Brands held $6.08 million in fiat and crypto assets at the end of April. Roughly $770,000 of the company’s holdings comprised Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), alongside $1.12 million in various altcoins.

Animoca attributed the increase in its crypto holdings to successful sales involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for its titles The Sandbox, F1 Delta Time, and Crazy Defense Heroes.

The experts think that the coronavirus lockdown has fostered a “change in behavior” among many new and ‘born-again’ gamers that will last into the longer-term — with gaming becoming a cornerstone of their entertainment-seeking rituals.

We are surely going to see a significant increase because of the pandemic since a lot of people are probably going to work at home blockchain gaming companies etc. is going to be a trend.

For sure for some people or at this time they will have thoughts about working at home just like streaming, making videos, etc. At some point, we can already see that a lot of creators is going for it and it will be a trend for sure because people will have a lot of screen time at the time of the pandemic.

I am sure that the revenue will be bigger, even in this pandemic because people stay at homes and they need the entertainment to enjoy their time.

 So in this case a gaming system would also be fit in this times of lockdown. And if there are record revenue being.mention by OP pretty sure that more business now are in troubled especially that are still close for now and could not operate like entertainment and sports industry. And this is not good for them especially if this will take so long.

And the advantage of it, is that players can do their thing anywhere else and most of the time at the comfort of their homes. So this kind of entertainment is welcome to many internet users who are lurking the net 24/7. I would say, they are one of the few industries that are still getting revenue during this pandemic.

You don't need to be an expert to see where is this going, as long as we are in lockdown, people are going to gamble anyways. I guess what 'born-again" gamers or gamblers is that those who have stop for sometime and then went back because they have to look for avenues to get away with boredom. So it makes sense that blockchain gaming companies are really raking good money in this pandemic. And it's one industry that really benefited from this home quarantine or work from home employees.
