You have the option to socialize or not when you gamble. But if that doesn't feel you good, you have the option to just ignore them and never talk in the chat and that's the same in the physical casinos but it's kind of awkward when someone approaches you and talks to you and then you never get to talk to them then you might be accused that you're snobbish and hard to approach.

There is nothing wrong being ignoring when you gamble because you're not there to socialize but just to gamble. But the fun there is you gotta meet new people and talk with some new connections but then again, it all lies up to your idea and intention if you want to go there and do something that you don't like while you gamble. So, putting aside the socializing and focusing on yourself to gamble is what you can do.

Just remember that it's no fun to become a loner but if you enjoy that, there's no argument needed to prove. But it won't also hurt you to have some good conversation, meeting new friends physically and online because they can be of your cheerful friends when your bets seems to be always failing you.

Depending on the game the social aspect can be quite important, if you are playing poker live and you are chatting with the rest of the players, and suddenly one of them has a change on their attitude, this can be an indication that the cards they received are very good and you can take the necessary actions during that particular round to deal with that player, so do not minimize the importance of the social aspect in gambling, since there are many instances in which it can save you from making a poor decision.
In live settings for poker game, the ability to observe and interpret changes in the attitudes or behaviors of other players can indeed provide valuable information. Recognizing shifts in demeanor may offer insights into the strength of their hand and, in turn, influence your decisions during the game. The social dynamics, including interactions and non-verbal cues, contribute to the strategic element of the game.

Being attuned to these social signals can potentially save you from making poor decisions and enhance your overall gameplay. There are multifaceted nature of these activities, where strategic thinking, psychological awareness, and social dynamics all play a role. Being mindful of these elements can contribute to a more nuanced and enjoyable gambling experience. Moreover, what would you do after folding the round while waiting for another round!?
Exactly, even if poker is a game of skill, the fact that luck plays such a prominent role means that the highest level that can be reached is somewhat limited, so poker players need to find for other ways to make up for that limitation, and being able to read the reactions of your opponents can make a massive difference, because even if you were able to do this only half of the time, over the long term this will have massive implications when it comes to the amount of money you can make with poker.

You can already stream to 3rd party sites, it would quite exceptional to expect the site itself to allow streaming.  But I agree more then live chat would be ideal, if the game is simple enough then view friends should be possible to do which isnt streaming but duplication of view seems more feasible in a simple way.   Its in the site's best interest to introduce social aspect as much as possible because its more of a reinforcing experience then plain gambling by itself, generally people like to share or at least boast about their wins and being able to commiserate on the losses might be a possible too.

but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?
Well that would be kinda hard for your side since most of the people who gamble online, doesn't really look for socializing when playing. And probably most of the reason why they choose to gamble online is because they don't want to socialize and maintain small talks only. In my case as an online gambler, I just want to focus on playing and doesn't really look for someone to talk to while gambling.

While on the other hand, physical casinos are more on socializing and making connection with other people inside the casino. If you want to gamble and socialize at the same time, maybe you can do it with sports betting and then join groups or channel in discord.
I think they choose to play gambling online mainly because of its convenience and not because they are avoiding socializing with other gamblers. On the early days of online gambling, there is no such way to communicate with other players and maybe the gamblers are also the ones who request for this. Luckily there are now. It started from a simple personal message, to a forum, and then having a public shoutbox.

Socializing while playing gambling has never been this easy now. Some are still different. Like you for example, you don't want to socialize with other players for some reasons. That's okay. No one is forced to do it anyway.

I don't think there is any potential to socialize with others when you chose an online platform for your activities, still there is a live chat option where player can interact with others who are online but most people don't really want to socialize via gambling platform. Because we have tons of social media apps for that same purpose where people interaction is the only thing they do.
But Live chat if it is intended as a tool for socializing then in my opinion it is not enough, and it will only be like when we watch people's live streaming, when we greet the user it will accumulate messages that we do with thousands of other people's messages, of course this is not effective if the goal is to socialize.

But for me personally that the gambling platform is not a place to socialize like other platforms, so far no one has a peer-to-peer messaging feature in my opinion, but if anyone launches it is a new thing and it is very interesting in my opinion, where we can interact with many users of a casino around the world, and we can share ideas or tips with other users easily, if it is seen as good it will be very good in my opinion.

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?
I don't think any casino is lacking anything for not creating that inevitable mutualism between fellow gamblers... If some secret dms and open interactions could be made, it'll trigger people into sharing their experiences -- good or bad -- and that might get the other person on Thier high heels for safety reasons.

creating a social bond on casinos could also not be a regrettable decision to make.. but I feel the "unnecessary interactions" is basically the reasons why some peeps would wanna avoid land-based casinos...

To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

There is probably good reason that casinos limit the amount of discussion between players, at least from the companies perspective, because you tend to have a stream of people losing money and getting angry at their decisions. That does not make for a particularly welcoming, happy and friendly environment for discussion. Beyond that they would have to pay for extra staff to keep an eye on the conversations because things can tend to get wild if left alone. People will come up with all sorts of ideas to get around chat blocks that might censor certain keywords, but you can also end up with spamming of links or scams that will pervade - that could result in people losing their accounts. That element of social engineering would just open up too many liabilities and little benefit to these online casinos.

I personally rarely socialize in online gambling, and I don't really pay attention to global chat. If you want to gamble and socialize, it's better to gamble physically with your friends or relatives who also have a hobby of gambling, rather than going to a physical gambling place, for In my opinion, they only interfere with concentration, causing us to lack focus in the game
The socialization aspect of online gambling is not necessary and I don't know why the OP explains the dialer tells every gambler to be active in chat, but we need a specific explanation about the kaisno site he is using because there are no rules that require users to be active in chat. I rarely monitor the chat unless the gambling system has an error then I will see complaints from other gamblers in the chat.

Even offline gambling does not require a social aspect to interact with other gamblers, but the social aspect is not an important factor in gambling because we have to focus on gambling.

Those are situational basis on which you could really be able to take advantage but of course not all would really be loving on taking those fake reactions or trying out to bluff because there are really those
people who would really be showing up their real reactions basing up into their emotions on which you cant really be able to make assurance that those reactions were totally opposite. This is why it wont really be a guarantee that it would be a sure thing that could benefit you in terms of game strategy but i do really love on how these socialization been dont through online. How much more on offline?
The best thing i do prefer on offline or physical is that you could really be making those real interactions with people around and plus the ambiance or noise around while you are
playing on which it do really increase out that overall pleasure.

Going to gambling centers,(casino, sports betting etc) it is more sociable than gambling online, And it's interesting and funfull at casino game center than than gambling online.
Online gambling, is more of individual thing and privacy. I think if they can create online platforms were gamblers online can be playing games online and  interact making like gambling centers it will increase the sociality of online gambling.

The decision between the two depends on what each gambler values in their gambling experience. Offline casinos offer the opportunity for socializing with other gamblers that can create a more interactive atmosphere. This should also be one of the motivation to enjoy gambling activity. Online casinos have gained popularity due to the convenience they provide, the ability to gamble from the comfort of home and the flexibility to engage in other activities simultaneously.

The allure of slot games is well-understood with the visual appeal and the potential for substantial winnings can be enticing for many gamblers. The changing dynamics of the gambling landscape is significant, with the rise of online casinos offering new conveniences that attract a growing number of players. Balancing the desire for convenience with responsible gambling practices is key for a satisfying and sustainable gambling experience.
That's what makes many people still often visit offline casinos because they still want to experience the fun of gambling with other gamblers and socializing with them. Meeting many gamblers in offline casinos makes offline casinos increasingly crowded with people whose aim is to gamble, have fun and also win their gambling games. They gamble together and miss many of the interesting moments they get at the casino so they will keep returning to the offline casino.

The appeal of slot games really tempts people to keep coming back to play them because they can expect to make big fortunes after playing slots for a while. But if they are not lucky, they can continue playing slots and this is what often causes people to lose a lot of money playing slots. Casinos also know that gamblers are very curious about winning and gambling games, so they always try to provide the best to their gamblers and add many new games to their place.

Always falls on someones preference on where they would really be planning on playing on which there are ones who do love on playing online and there are ones who do love to play on physically.

It would really be just that depending into someone because not all would really be falling out with the same interest and this is something that would really be that much needed.
There are really those people who are really just that skeptical on playing into those venues just because of some hesitation or really just not that available.
There are ones who do really make some switch up according into their mood.

In my case then this is what im doing on which on the time that i would really be liking on playing into physical ones then i do it and on other
day which i do feel on playing online then i do also do it, it varies.
Yes, that's true because when choosing a casino, people will determine it based on what they want. Therefore, we still see many people gambling at each casino, both physical and online casinos because people have found which casinos they think are fun to gamble at.

If people previously gambled at a physical casino but then moved to an online casino, they definitely have a reason why they moved and that is up to them. Those who choose a casino, even if someone advises them to use a physical or online casino, will still look at the casino first and then decide which casino they want to gamble at. But some people also use both types of casinos because they find enjoyment in both types of casinos.

I prefer online crypto casinos because they provide a lot of convenience for me. I don't need to leave the house or deposit fiat from my bank account. I can gamble anytime and anywhere.

Even offline gambling does not require a social aspect to interact with other gamblers, but the social aspect is not an important factor in gambling because we have to focus on gambling.

That's not the primary aim of gambling and shouldn't bother any player. The main aim is to be active and make meaningful predictions. Other factors are secondary and wouldn't make any difference for the gambler whether he associates with gamblers or not. There is no rule about that. Maybe the Op participated in a live game where their opinion would be needed for a specific reason. It's not wrong for a dealer to let them discuss or chat online. However, it's not meant to be a rule, it's just a voluntary decision for the gambler. The fun part is only reasonable if we go with our friends for the purpose of getting fun while playing game of luck. There the players can align with other gamblers and build a strong network for the day, able to create enough fun for them. Once the day is over, they may go home to gamble online is the urge to gamble still drags the gambler. So, offline casinos, shouldn't be neglected because of online casinos. If the player is not able to get what he wants online, he can easily go offline and feed himself with new conversation from other gamblers.

The new era was born with the online platform,many works now was done by the Artificial Intelligence.Some gambler also using the AI for the betting,but it was against the rules of gambling site.It’s hard to predict the outcome of the gambling betting,because the gambling site was created in the way of hard predictable one.The gamblers who had huge knowledge in the gambling industry were able to make money from the gambling sites.The gamblers should keep their strategies as the secret one,because the strategy of one gamblers will not suit to the game of the other gamblers.So use your own strategy to make money using the gambling sites.
Really alot have changed with this generation and many works are now done by third party artificial tools and for social it will bring alot of development and progress on the long run, but also I will like to know if we have some AI that can work on gambling because it quite a while now since we have being discussing here in the forum on the ability of AI to effect changing to the overall gambling experience since casinos have their own system on place that determine the probability fairness and what it stands to offers.

This is why, the usage or promotion of AI haven't gained alot of awareness lately and also haven't make any big significant impact to the overall outcome of gambling games, at some point in times.

I believe that whether casinos wanted to improve the social aspects of their gambling floors they could do it with some investment and setting places for gambling games with PVP components or even setting areas within the casino for gamblers to talk to each other while doing activies which could be unrelated to gambling.
The issue is that I do not believe casinos are truly interested in getting people to interact much with one another, to be honest. Because in the ideal case for casinos, gamblers would step into their facilities, gamble and then leave without much hassle or problems. The interaction part between gamblers can be either positive but also negative, specially if there is access to alcoholic beverages.

Some gamblers seem to prefer to stick to their session and not to talk too much with other gamblers who are strangers, I have specially noticed the lack of social behavior in gamblers who have as favorite games both slots and video poker. Those who like poker and blackjack tend to interact more with others. To each their own, I guess.

I would personally like to make friends while having a drink at the casino bar, even though I know that is kind of unlikely to happen.

What are you talking about? Using AI to gamble in the usual casino games makes little sense. Maybe you could use it for Black Jack or for statistical analysis for sports betting, but that's pretty much it and I can't see how any online casino could prevent that.
And outcome is not hard to predict in online casino games if you know the house edge (any respectable casino should be informing their players of such). You might not know the outcome of each individual game, but you will know the expected long-term outcome.
Strategy is either good or useless, and either works for any player or for none.

The world is transformed online and that is why we have almost everything online, and so much also we have better social connections online compared to the physical socialization process, because with online casinos, you have what we call the chat room, in this room, everything as regards to the group and other life relavance topics are discuesed and from that place, players communicate and socialise with each other, and even make personal friendships and contacts exchange.

Infact I enjoyed socialising with my online forks than my physical forks, even if we visit the casino together, reason being that, I like privacy and for that I won't want anyone knowing how much I won or lose at some point, but if it online, the secret is up to you and no one else, you only tell someone that I want about either your winnings or loses sometimes.

That makes sense, as playing and socializing at online casinos allows you to do so from the comfort of your home. The convenience of use, in my opinion, may boost sociability since it allows players to interact without being restricted by a physical space.
Because face-to-face encounters can be intimidating at times, I believe that the privacy offered by online platforms will enable people to socialize without the strain of in-person conversations. For people who might feel better at ease expressing themselves online, this sense of privacy may be alluring.
Furthermore, because online gaming sites are always available, socializing possibilities will always be available. In contrast, real casinos might only be open for a certain number of hours. Consequently, in online gambling, you are free to wager whenever and any time you like.
