This is the best aspect of gambling activity, and this is what people should primarily see at gambling. Interacting with other gamblers in chat rooms can lead to gaining useful knowledge and tips adds a collaborative and informative dimension to the online gambling experience. Sharing insights and strategies can contribute to a sense of community among players. The virtual environment allows people to connect and build relationships, fostering a sense of camaraderie within the community.

Some may prioritize the game itself, while others find value in the social interactions and discussions happening concurrently. The exchange of tips can be both informative and entertaining, contributing to a positive and collaborative environment among players. But Physical casinos is better at getting this experience. The ability to see and chat directly with individuals in physical casinos provides a unique form of interaction, highlighting the distinct social dynamics of each environment.

How tense it is to play live at a gambling table, I have never felt it but it looks very exciting to see people who focus on strategizing when playing poker. If you compare it to playing online, it won't provide any social aspect because it's like playing alone because you're just sitting in front of a computer or on a cellphone screen. Playing live will give you extraordinary adrenaline of course, that's what makes people excited and even though they experience losses sometimes there is support from other people, but if you play online people won't know.

And the most funniest aspect of meeting or interacting with other gamblers is because every individual gambler have a unique story to tell you especially as it relates to their personal life experiences in gambling. Some of these gamblers have unique stories to tell you. For instance, some gamblers will tell you that since they started gambling they have never lost any odds before and it has been a straight win for them all these while. Whereas there are those who have never won a single game before since they started gambling yet they have never get tired of the gambling rather continuing to play even more.

And if you are a type of person who doesnt really like on doing things on solo or in quiet then for sure you would really be that preferred on making use or would really be dealing up with physical casinos.
It would really be that actually be depending on someones preference because there are people who doesnt really like a noisy ambiance and there were people who does really like for them to make themselves on getting entertained more. Socialization is one of the best things when you do gamble on which it could really be acquire through on going into those physical places on which you could really be able to make out some interaction into other people on which some are really that liking it and some doesnt really care at all. For me i would really be liking to play
solo in front of my PC and its really just that fine that you would really be having that kind of choosing since it would be your choice at the end.

It honestly depends on the players, dealer and environment.  Some tables I've been at it's been a blast between the players and the dealer and others where it's very serious.  Mood even from table to table is very different.  I tend to gravitate towards the noise in the casino as its more entertaining than just sitting there grinding.

Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.

I don't understand it myself, but if they want to take a break from gambling, it's better for them to immediately leave the casino so that they don't want to gamble again. That would be better because from telling each other stories, there may be a desire to continue gambling. After all, you are curious about what they are telling you. Chatting in the chat room will depend on each person, and there is no pressure to stay there.

Online casino would have been completely made private, if not for KYC. But the need to make it a fun place for communication, may not be as expected by some gamblers who wants the communication features available. On the long run, we could be seeing some casino who would adjust things and make availability for a better fun platform. Yet it wouldn't make many changes since the aim of other gambler is to gamble and chat using the chatbox. Any other feature one needs could be gotten on social media platforms. Nothing else can be done to change the way online gamblers communicate with one another. It must be on screen. We cannot feel or touch them, hence the virtual reality we seem to get isn't proper fun compared to what physical casinos provide for gamblers. However, the physical casino is fun, but people still mind their businesses. It's not like all people go there to do is socializing.

The only fun part of physical casinos is when we go together with our close friends, we'll enjoy the games. However, those who came alone can at least discuss with some experts who may want to help them with new strategies. Or argue with them about their prediction being wrong. And they need to try something else. You'd never have a substantial conversation with someone you just met, like you do with an old-time friend. So, an online gambler that wants to have fun like he's in a physical casino, can invite his friends over to his house to gamble with him and share ideas together. No other difference. Aside seeing people, some can go to the physical casino and still go back home not entertained by the people they see in the place. The person needs to know how to hold conversation and possess a good communication skill.

Online interactions are totally different than in physical interactions. I think most of the gamblers in an online casino doesn't want to socialize that much, so the online casinos didn't prioritize this feature. However, it is still an advantage if an online casino will put a friends list that would let the user sent private messages to other people. But then again, most gamblers in the online casino does not want to socialize but to gamble. Those who chose to socialize and wants to have fun while gambling will definitely going to visit physical casinos. That explains why most prestigious casinos are tied with five star hotels, because they want their target market to enjoy the ambiance and gamble mindlessly.

When a casino becomes super popular it's hard to chat... but in the beginning, when there are not so many active players chatting can be interesting, especially if there are some contests for some small prizes. I had the chance to be one of the first players in many casinos, and it's interesting to compete with a few people and chat with them.


It's interesting to chat with other poker players, especially if know each other from before... but it's interesting when things become hot, when some crazy turns are happening on the table, and we all jump in with comments. That's is kinda enough thrill for me, I wouldn't like to play poker with an activated cam and look at other players. I don't feel it's my thing.

Even if we do speak about to those people who are playing gambling online and made out some chats on the chatbox which it isnt really that totally the same when you are really that
having some interaction personally or face to face with other fellow members. This is why there are really some people whom do really love on sticking on playing on physical places
just because they do really love on playing and making out interactions on which they do really interested with that aside on making some entertainment with gambling.
There are ones who are really that skeptical on playing because of these aspects but just like said it will really always falls down on someones preference.

True, for sure to those people who do make use of crypto gambling sites are the ones who are really that putting up focus when it comes to privacy and accessibility on which it is true that they wont really be minding about having those social interactions or whatsoever on the time that they would really be doing gambling on which they would really be focusing on playing without needing on paying up attention
in regarding about chit chatting with other people and this is why it doesnt really matter much on what are the things that they are involved into as long they could be able to play
without having those kind of worries on exposing their identities.

When it comes to social interactions then if they were really that interested of it in the first place, then you wont really be that making yourself
be that sticking into online gambling but rather you would really be going into physical ones. Its a matter of choice and preference in the end of the day.
There are really just that people has always something have to say.

I don't think they're lacking behind for communicating as they didn't put that in mind when creating online casino as most individual that use online casino are doing that for privacy and comfort. They don't want to socialize while gambling and that's why they didn't use the physical casino. I don't want more to be done to how we communicate online at the moment so we don't lose our privacy and other benefits of online casino that we're enjoy at the moment.

If you want to socialize, there are many other things that you can do to social and if you only want to socialize while gambling, go and use the traditional casino. Online casino don't need more things to be done. The chat box or the live box where some gamblers can discuss is okay. For casino that don't have a chat box that gamblers can use to chat with eachother they can add that to their casino and that's okay.

Right, so I think it's just a matter of choice, as we know there are two types of gambling which are online and offline and for the socialization issue obviously a gambler can maximize it in the offline type of gambling because as you already said that there they can always find other people or visitors who are also trying their luck at the same time, you can make a lot of friends or maybe get some useful references in or out of the gambling field.

So the point is that casinos have provided easier choices and you have the freedom to choose, however each casino has its own advantages, online casinos make it easy for anyone to gamble anytime and anywhere unlimited by only using intermediaries such as cellphones or laptops, you manage it yourself as long as you have money to bet. And for offline casinos, obviously the way gambling works is real, meaning that you gamble through real gambling tools and in terms of the atmosphere is clearly different, which as we said above, you can meet many visitors there and I think this is the right choice if your goal is more towards socialization activities to build good relationships with many people directly, and this is an option.

In my opinion for those gamblers who need socialization there are land-based casinos and cruise ship casinos. There you can always find someone with whom you can spend a good time for a pleasant conversation. In extreme cases, you can always invite friends to your home and play the same poker or other gambling card game.

Online games do not need to be socialized. They are designed for something else - a quick opportunity to play gambling having at hand a smartphone or laptop with an Internet connection.

This is definitely spot on.

I have visited tons of online gambling platforms but there seems to be a lack of socialization platforms within the website in order to interact with the fellow gamblers. Maybe the reason on why only a few casinos have implemented this is because to avoid any form of toxicity or solicitation from random people?


Maybe this also focuses on the reason on why people gamble. If they want to socialize, I guess people would just visit physical casinos than to interact with people on an online platform. Maybe another factor here is on how the online casino creates a UI with friendly and easy controls for people to socialize with.

I don't think they will add or they can add although online casinos promote themselves as an entertainment portal adding a socializing feature is not their business, even if they can add social features like we're seeing on Facebook they will not do that, it will become a distraction for players, they are a betting site, casinos want you to use their platform not to socialize, they are not an advertising platform like all the social media where they make money from posting ads while their users are socializing.
This is the reason why physical casinos will not become obsolete or out of style they cater to gamblers who love to socialize and gamble, something online casinos cannot offer.

It's a good to have but not necessarily something that you'd be clapping your hands to the casino for if it were to be implemented. As crwth mentioned it's not like users will go actively out of their way to chat strangers even if they become so bored or so lonely from the gambling journey, so it's not that much big of a deal to implement in the first place.

However, I think a social aspect that every casino should have is the ability to add friends and actively chat with them within their premises. Some casino-goers would rather keep their identities within the casino inside there, for privacy purposes. Having a chat feature that doesn't require them to use any other third-party application greatly increases the usability of the site, from the usual gambling and dipping to gambling, chatting some of your friends to wish them a good luck, and then dipping. And for some people this will work wonders as it reduces the chances of them getting scammed, or their identities in the gambling site being used for the same manner. It's a win-win however I look at it.

Still, the need for chat features honestly pales in comparison to larger issues that gambling sites face today. One of which being complex terms and conditions that shouldn't even be that way in the first place. They should first focus on giving high quality of play features within their casinos before they jump into stuff like these in my opinion.

The spate of online gambling has brought in more of having privacy in gambling than when we consider the social benefits it gives, here you will have to gamble online with the way you want, how you want and when you wanted to without having any form of distractions, with your gambling, but when we are talking about the way people go with the physical gambling, there's much of gamblers interactions in it than we see with online, but talking about the overall assessment, we are more concerned about what we actually want and how it has impact on the way we all gamble, which makes the online casino crypto gambling have more gamblers than the physical gambling casinos.

There is none compared to physical casinos, on physical casinos people go together to do two things, to gamble and to socialize, whereas on online casinos people play to make money.

Your only option is the chat feature of the casino but I don't think it is enough, this is the weak point of online casinos they lack the socializing feature of the physical casinos, so you'll have to fully concentrate on your game so it works for introvert gamblers.

I don't know what kind of improvement they have a chat feature and that's the only option that online casinos can give, they expect you to play their games not to socialize.

Online gambling socialization among players is out of point. The few casinos I have gambled, I have not seen anyone who discussed with another person but in physical gambling centers and when you have placed your gambling and if you feel like to stay back to discuss with fellow members about any topic, they can discuss and wait for outcome of the game. But in online gambling, as you placed your bet, you login and do another thing because there no one to discuss with there. But I don't know if other casinos which I have not used have that chatting feature among gamblers. And if it is not, they should add it because it will make gamblers more busy online and learn new things.
