Online gambling gives portability and comfortability than the offline casino but doesn't provide some of the good things of life offline casino possess. Although nobody is restricted from using the offline casino, the online players can switch to physical casino any moment they feel lonely. However, not everybody has the ability to start or hold conversations with other people, hence the offline casino may not be a conducive place for them, regardless. Hence, it's crucial that gamblers who intend to make fun while using the physical casino should be able to engage and approach people. But if they have a clique already, it wouldn't be a hassle to get fun there. I think most online gamblers are comfortable with the provision of the opportunity to gamble online. Other requirements are secondary, the aim has been achieved. Gambling and getting paid online is what matters.

Yes, it really depends on yourself whether you feel disturbed or not, all this depends on your needs too if basically you need people to accompany your gambling then I think this will actually benefit you because you need their presence. On the other hand I think there is no problem to have friends in gambling activities, one of the possible things is as you said that maybe they can provide tips to increase the chances of winning even though this is still difficult to believe to actually be able to produce victory because after all, gambling cannot be fully predicted.

And the general reason is that you have also said that socialization relationships are one of the reasons why someone looks for fellow gamblers, maybe they want to share experiences or tell stories about the downturns they have experienced during their gambling, because this reason makes more sense.

IIRC there was a casino that allow you to chat with other user in private, but I didn't remember exactly the name is.

I'm not sure if it's regularly used by other users, but I don't think it's important. Most users only chat in global where you can earn rain reward, joining a mini games by other people or someone is kind to share his money to active users.

It depends. Not everyone who make friend of you in a casino brings distraction to you. Some are making good advices and will give you tips on how to increase your chances in winning some games. However, the most common reason why people in a casino wants to make friend with you, is that they want to increase their connections and possibly widen their choices of people they want to beg to whenever one of their friends they made in a casino win big amount of money. This gives them another reason to stay in a casino even if they run out of money.

Making friends with gamblers in a casino brings distraction, if you so want to make friends there are many places for this, either offline or online you can do that but when it comes to gambling, majority of gamblers intend to double their money, not make new friends, some people are even wired in a way that they want limited friend.

If you as a gambler can't have fun in gambling because there are no other people around then your real intent is different, not impossible but you are different from hundreds of other gamblers, you should engage in other gambling games that requires player to player instead of games like Slots.

If I look at it from this side, it is probably true that people who go to physical casinos will get other services that casinos do not provide, namely the opportunity to socialize with many people in person and this is an advantage that we will not be able to get if we gamble at online casinos. With this opportunity, it can pave the way for you to have relationships with many people and maybe you can make many new friends which is certainly true what you said that our gambling will feel more fun. Now in this modern era everything looks easier to do, one example might be from gambling, you can choose according to what you want, if you really don't want to bother leaving the house then obviously your choice is to get involved in online casinos but if you want to meet lots of people in person with a lively atmosphere that can make you feel more happy or mean you are one of those people who like crowds then of course you can come to a physical casino, all of this is your choice.

People who like gambling at offline casinos want to experience the fun of gambling together with other gamblers, and from there, they socialize with other gamblers. While gambling, they will meet many gamblers from various places and they can chat about many things. It will be an experience different from other pleasures. It will make them get to know other gamblers and being able to gamble with them will feel even more fun. Some like to gamble at online casinos where they don't need to go anywhere and can gamble anywhere and anytime. This makes it easy for them if they want to gamble at home. They can do other things while gambling, providing them with fun.

But it would turn out that you would really be that a bitter person if you dont really have those kind of reactions or having those kind of treatment into other people and sometimes it cant really be avoided.
Also there's no fun when you do play gambling physically without having those kind of reactions to other people. Even myself cant really be able to avoid on not to make those kind of reactions
on the time that you are facing other fellow gamblers specially if you do make out some bets. There are indeed people who are really that introverts just like on what other members been saying above
that there are ones who do love to go solo and this is why they would really be opting on making some online gambling dealing rather than on making themselves going into physical.

Some people prefer to play at offline casinos because they want to socialize with other players and feel the live casino vibe, which can improve their mood when playing. But there are people who prefer online casinos because they don't like crowds and can play anywhere and anytime via their devices - they can play more quietly without any interference from other players. So it's not a matter of shortcomings between offline and online platforms, but just a matter of gamblers' preferences.

Their is no need to socialize yourself with people in casino because we are all strangers there and I see the gambling casino as an anonymous place and if casino gives access to gamblers to have access to one another,  people will use it as advantage against other people,  it is something that will really affect the beginners.  It is just better to stake your game on online casino and wait for the outcomes. In offline gambling shop people can go to extend of interacting with other gambler, here you see the people you are socialising with and make your decisions if they are good for you or not.

People have different personalities, some of them would like to play alone and some of them would like to enjoy themselves with the other players, with my personality I guess I'm suitable for playing with socializing with other gamblers even just chatroom is enough so we can have a good time communicating with them but it's different when in terms of actual casino you can check the face expression of the player if they are suitable with your personality or not so you can adjust the conversation you would like to start, part of entertainment in casino is socializing you can meet different gambelrs with different personalities might help you not only in gambling but outside of the casino.

IMO, there is no need of socialising in an online casino. People go to online casino in order to gamble and make money. They don’t have time to ask and interfere with other gambler’s lives. Yes some casinos have the chat features, but I feel that it is only used by the people with no balance. They do passive begging there, and collect rains. The real gamblers hardly socialise in those chats. So yes according to me, socialising is just waste of time.

It's a matter of players what they want to do, and not everyone wants to communicate, simply play normally. I have also become acquainted with some online players and we occasionally contact each other online, but that is just the internet environment and is not always convincing, even when playing offline, communication depends on on everyone.

I feel this issue is also noticed by online casinos, but as I said initially it depends on the player's choice. I remember using a soccer betting service, and the discussion around the match was quite fun and exciting among the members, so gambling freely was a personal choice without any regulations.

considering the different characters of people, I think online gambling is perfect for those who don't really like high social. more towards those with introverted characters. some who have a neutral character can still enjoy playing online gambling. for them calmness and focus are the main factors they pay attention to.
If OP doesn't like that kind of system, leave me online gambling and switch to offline gambling which directly comes to the casino and meets the people there.

In that case, are casinos the one who needs to adjust rather than the players instead? If users find lacking features they want to see either online gambling or physical gambling, then find those where they will experience it. If those gamblers who are now mostly doing online gambling want to experience again the environment of playing in a physical casino, then find a way to do that. The same goes for those mostly engaging now in physical casinos but used to doing online gambling.

Online gambling and physical casinos do have their advantages. There are times that the things we are looking for are not present on both.

We do know that there are types of people;

1. Introvert
2. Extrovert
3. Neutral

There are ones who do love to play alone and there are ones who do love on dealing with other people or into those people who are really that just that fine on dealing in between
things basing up on the situation that they are facing. There are ones who are really that skeptical basing up into their own experiences in life or someones experience.
Socialization is important though but just like been said that there are people who dont really like on having this kind of set up but rather they would really be liking
on doing things on their own and they wont really be that mattering on which one they would really be that doing as long it would
really be that according into their preferences.

Instead of adding a chat feature that looks forced, it's better to add a voice chat or live voice feature between players.
Maybe it could be closer to the atmosphere of offline gambling. However, I'm not sure whether this feature will really be useful.
Or will only be a means of mentally attacking each other between players because it's just live voice without meeting face to face.

Well, socialization would be difficult with online platforms especially in this industry unlike with social media platforms wherein socialization is the main focus. How many gamblers do you think come here for socialization? Only a few I guess and would be more expected with land based casinos. Indeed talking with other players will be fun however not the majority came for such feat. Most of the players are after profit and I guess to some, the convenience of not wanting to interact with others, is one of the reasons why some gamblers prefer online gambling especially those who are introverts or not fond of talking while playing.There are other ways as well which is to join online communities or social media groups wherein they could talk about various concerns in gambling. I also doubt that this would be put into priority by gambling providers more than with improving transaction speed, bonuses, and overall gambling experience of players.

In general, a gambler rarely socializes or interacts with the outside world (society), especially if the community where he lives is very against gambling activities. “A gambler will only associate with someone who likes to gamble.” Because of everyone's tendencies, they will often socialize and make friends with people who have the same thoughts or the same hobbies.

That's what happens where I live, which may be different from where you all live. because there is a region that really strongly opposes all forms and types of gambling and there are also those that allow it.

And when I visit both online and land-based casinos, I very rarely see them chatting casually or joking around. because they focus on gambling. They will just talk and joke, after the game ends or before the game starts.

In the perspective of yours, it's opening up a new view on my end that the gambling platforms may collaborate with online platforms like Instagram to handle those live video sessions. It'll save the casino some bandwidth while sharing some customers with the online social media platform which already pays a lot on bandwidths enough to accept any number of videos. If the casino, allows for gamblers to make live sessions it'll be quite fun, but may be flooded by unending number of gamblers who would priorities on those fun parts until the site begin to lag or perform slowly. Looking at the enormous amount of software running on the casino website, adding more features could be a hassle on the long run. The chat rooms or box made available seem to be the best they could provide. But your idea shows how important it is to make the online casino a fun place for participants to engage with one another and see no reason to visit the offline casino.

That will intrigue many gamblers to spend more time in the online casino, thereby generating more money for the casino to cover for bandwidth, and things as such. But, if it gets too compactible to what we've got on Instagram or other social media platform, visitor may now depend on watching live sessions, instead of gambling. These changes could deter or distract some player's concentration on gambling. Since its highly an emotional intelligent game, players need to focus carefully and abstain from any distraction. While many would like it, I understand, but lots of people wouldn't feel comfortable have a social online gambling platform. That means, expect a diminishing return on the long run.
