Socializing and building interpersonal relationship skill through gambling, can't be gotten online. Another advantage of offline casino, spotted. A gambler who engages in playing games online and wishes to have some fun with other players, have no other option than visiting the physical casinos. Where he'd meet follow gamblers and share ideas. However, when we want it online at all costs. One could begin to enjoy the fun of chatting online on special interest boards relating to gambling. It mustn't be some popular platforms like discord, though it helps, but I think if one does their research, they would be able to find a fun conducive platform for gamblers, where they can have some virtual conversation online and see each other's faces. Looking at Op's idea, he's mainly concerned about the live games where he'd see other players.

But he's not comfortable with the fact that they'll hardly have a sound conversation. The online casino is quite growing and may become more fun in future, depending on the number of people who wish to make it a better place than the offline casino. Like I said, nothing beats physical conversation with other gamblers. It's very fun and worths the time spent in a casino. One could get a new network of friends. But looking at the response of most people only few gamblers care about having fun with other players online. The motive is to gamble and move on. It's more like ordering some products online, they're things we'll still need to get in the grocery store next to our home. We can't have it all online. Life is mainly sweeter offline, and gamblers know this, so swapping it would be fine.

Social aspects of online gambling may exist in pvp based games such as poker but of course the communication will be limited to chat messages.
Maybe in the future there will be poker game where players need to open their camera so players can see other player's face like what they can see in real poker game.
Nowadays we can see most casinos has chatroom, it can be one of the social aspects we find in online gambling but what I can see is that now most chat rooms are now full of spams only especially if the casino has a lot of online chatters.
Maybe some casino has a feature like "add friends" so it can be the next level of social things in the casino so players can send private message to their friend list.

In both cases, for me, socialization has a lot to do with what I want to achieve, for me it is very easy to talk to people, regardless of the environment, because I have that, but there are people who are very introverted and it is difficult for them to do so. socialize, but in these two things for people who are this introverted, but things can be easier to play in an online casino and make friends there, I am not one of those who starts looking, sometimes they come to me talk to me, it's not like I'm playing all day, every day, in physical ways, those activities are also presented.

For introverted people in casinos that are offline, it is difficult for them, they are always quiet and only speak what is necessary, sometimes they are not liked because it is thought that they only seek their own interest and not fraternize, sometimes it is good to have friends, to be able to have The more options for help in any activity, is what I have learned, the more friends, the better.

Everyone was busy with their own gambling, even when they sat at the same table, I didn't hear any warm conversation or just small talk. Likewise when talking about online gambling, when I find a friend sitting next to me and he is gambling online, let alone talk and joke. I tried asking, he didn't answer at all. and as for one word he said to me, that word made me feel a little hurt, where he spoke in a high tone and told me to be quiet for a while and just wait until the gambling was over.

Having never tried physical gambling, I don't know about the interaction, let alone the actual socialization aspect.

In client gambling I don't really socialize much because for me it has become a comfort for an introvert maybe only the aspect of the social chatroom that is in gambling but that's not entirely socialization because we know the object there is often random and difficult to understand from the beginning.

So I don't have a lot of interaction in online gambling we just stay in the room and do the game quietly there is also socialization outside we don't talk much because we know gambling is more of a worry aspect in the circle so we never talk this.

In the world of gambling, in general many people view actions and situations as worrying, especially in the social field, there are many aspects that can be symbolized and can be understood, it depends on the social environment in which we are.

The majority's view of social life is generally religious, of course the aspects that arise are negative and if the majority's life is social, of course the aspects of gambling that arise are normal, in fact there is social pride, but the point is that as long as online gambling is growing now, of course in my opinion it is normal without any striking aspects, it has become entertainment and pride for those who gamble at online casinos.

Well and it seems that this can be useful to relieve a little fatigue when we have just experienced a defeat like you said and this is quite reasonable friend, Because maybe we can chat a little just for the sake of small talk like for example tattle with other gamblers and ask "are you lucky today" this could be chosen and done by some gamblers because honestly I also feel that I need a little socialization with others when I lose or am quite upset at least even if it's just small talk but this is enough to make ourselves a little entertainment or relaxation even though basically as I said before that there is no chemistry that we feel if we just chat doing the chat feature.

Right, so the point is that online gambling as a whole can make us more focused in the gambling activities that we do and if only casinos create or realize chat features for socialization for gamblers then I think this also clearly has benefits and you have said it one of them is to relieve fatigue when the situation is not good - okay due to defeat, it seems like a good idea for casinos.

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.

But sometimes interacting with other gamblers is quite fun and can give us additional experience.
In gambling, having lot of experience will be very useful so we also need something called sharing experiences with other gamblers.
It just that some people may also be active in the gambling site chat room, they don't know each other but it very fun and can reduce the level of mental stress when experiencing several losing bets.
It just that if in the real world or land-based casinos we really need to limit ourselves because there are several groups that might influence our mindset and they will have bad impacts such as making us uncontrollable with several invitations to bet excessively.
We must be wise in choosing groups or people in gambling because not all of them can have positive impact.

I don't understand the new features that the casino might provide, but if it just for resting then we can improve the gambling site.
It just that if you really want to rest by having social interaction with other gamblers, it will be as easy as sitting at table and chatting with each other.
And for online casinos, can do as I mentioned before, namely entering the chat room.

Social aspects of online gambling

I took some test online between Introvert and Extrovert and the result is I am a Introvert person but when I play card example is Black jack I choose to talk other people even tho is small talk I mean do card without talking feel so different in my opinion.

But it only happens occasionally sometimes I want a piece of quiet and when this comes I just play the House game Black Jack to pure computer without real people in it.

I agree with you, socialization between offline casinos and physical casinos is very different, because it is impossible for it to be equally equal, even though in online casinos there is a chat feature or there is a chat room but it will be very different, because in my opinion it will be limited, even I think it will probably never happen. because online casino gambling is based on them playing it themselves using a cellphone or PC, and I think they tend to do it themselves in a place that they want and makes them comfortable.

but with a physical casino they can meet lots of people to interact with each other, and that way I think they will more or less make new friends, starting with small talk about gambling or other things to potentially becoming friends. also with the large number of people in offline casinos, in my opinion those who step into offline casinos or go there do not only aim to gamble, but just to look around, or just to socialize, although I don't know that offline casinos allow everyone to enter without requirements or only specifically for people who really want to gamble. It's true what you said, if a gambler wants to gamble and socialize, then offline casino gambling is the right choice. But for those who are introverts, they can gamble online, which is also easy for everyone to access, as long as they understand the steps.

Both online and physical casinos have their good sides and bad sides, and it depends on the bettor on what they will always like which also depends on the personality of the bettor. Some of us are introverts while others are extroverts, and some even combine the two fairly which is the category I belong to. It also depends on the mood at times, you might want to do your thing alone at times and still go to bed or find other engagements thereafter. But at times, it might be to do the opposite and go to the casino house to interact with people, drink and see a lot with your own eyes to have the fun to the fullest.

Any of it we pick, I believe that it will fulfil the task/want for us at that time and it is all about happiness here. Personally, I love the two, not minding the cons in them, and I have tried them times without numbers, but it is better stated that online gambling will ever be more for us since we are closer to our gadget which is the housing unit of it, so we do it more, and even if I visit the physical gambling house at times, it is for the fun because I love my privacy still, unless the kind that I can't do online or that it might not matter if I do it online or offline. Above all, let's continue to do whatever we are pleased it, especially what gives us unending joy about our gambling lifestyle. We should only not get addicted to anything but keep utilising gambling to our advantage and having fun where possible.

Maybe online gamblers prefer to gamble rather than socialize when they gamble because, according to them, they cannot focus on the gambling game, and it can cause them to lose. It will disturb them from gambling so they prefer not to socialize. And it depends on each gambler so they will decide.

Yes, physical casinos are suitable gambling places for those who want to socialize so they can meet other gamblers. They can chat while gambling and of course, it can give them pleasure in gambling. Maybe that can enable them to make new friends in gambling so that they can contact each other if they want to gamble. And maybe they will hold a small competition between them in gambling so that it will give them different pleasures.

I haven't been gambling for too long without using online casinos as a place to socialize because I come to casinos just to gamble. And after finishing gambling, I immediately left the casino. If I want to socialize, I will always visit my friends and chat.

This will still depend on what personality a gambler has. There are a lot of gamblers who want to play online because, for a certain reason, they don't like socialising. Some people are what we call introverts; they don't want to socialise too much; they rather stay alone most of the time while doing what they want.

But of course, for gamblers who like to socialise, physical casinos are the most suitable for them, or in online casinos, there should be interaction between players, but it's being limited by most casinos because it might start a not-so-good conversation between players if the battle or match is heated. So I think it's good to have player-to-player communication in some online casinos, but it's limited to avoid not-so-good interactions between them.

But for me, I prefer not to, because I like more gambling games that I would play against the system or players, but I prefer not to have concern or interaction as I want to focus as long as I want.

Social life isn’t really an objective part to online gambling. It wasn’t very much of the focus about this although, there have been some improvements in the field as, you can have a near staff experience with the bots available on the sites, designed to be as real as possible.

Most users that prefer online gambling does so mainly because of the convenience it provides and you don’t have to mind who’s seated next to you or what your stakes would be perceived as, as well as your losses/profit. Everything stays confidential and you’re good.

Still, physical gambling has got a social aspect of it that makes you want to seat around, have a bear or some bottles of whisky, some fine ass staff here and there, music and a lot of other fun stuff that I wouldn’t want to mention.

I think it's also matter of "space" people behind a laptop for a betting "are just few". meanwhile people that can follow a bet in a corner or behind a table in a casino are much much more!
I think that we must divide two kinds of betting: play for fun (ok social betting), play to have profit (then we need to stay focused so play alone it's the best).

Many players fall into this category of players who love to socialize while playing as they do at physical casinos, they love to do this to relax while betting, we all know it is always high risk when we bet, some players turn on the sound to relax, some chat on social media but it's different when done in the casino platform with fellow players who you choose to chat.

This is a big difference between online and offline casinos, on offline casinos you can enjoy conversations because you are face-to-face with other players and bystanders there are gamblers who play little in casinos they are just there for the ambiance.

Maybe some casinos will pick this idea and install not only a group chat but also a peer-to-peer chat, who knows we'll see this feature in the future they have to keep their players online, and a peer-to-peer chat is such a good idea so players can chat with a player of their choosing and share tips and methods.
I'm not very active on chats I am more concentrated on my games even though there are platforms I'm playing that are giving tips that I'm missing.

Yes, besides of having another cost or hire someone for the chat's moderation, it's another resources to be considered on what kind of server should a casino be using especially for a casino that has hundred of thousands or even millions of users.

Some old casinos has this, with features like some tipping, but they have limited users not hundred of thousands. Although it was fun having it, chatting some users but sometimes you can't unseen the negativity there.

There's too much negativity in online chats than it is with physical chats in physical casinos. I like talking to real people in real-time more than with online chats. What I found out in online chat was, that people tend to be too brave because they know they can say anything they want without the fear of someone punching their face all of a sudden. I've stayed for a while in one online chat with a favorite sports bookie and I saw how mad people are in terms of socializing. Bad way of talking although no bad words because the chat rules won't let it enter, and then there are people who think they are superior to others just because they have a higher VIP rank, and others suddenly pop out in madness because they had a losing streak without RTP coming out.
It was way different when I was in a poker room back then. More laughs and giggles, and we are all happy chatting with each other because we are enjoying the company. That cannot be done in online gambling, socializing there lacks something, the eye to eye contact to see if the person is telling the truth or lying.

A window of socialization in online crypto gambling can be a distraction that can cost gamblers losing extra money from what they are currently losing to the house, the discussions will not flow that with that of on land casinos. Verbal discussions and that of typing a keyboard from different ends are obviously not same, an i can't wrap my head around to figuring out the essence of attaching a socializing section to the online gambling.

 If a gambler wanna socialized he gotta go make use of on-land casinos, as the online imposters and mediocres may use the means to starts giving stupid deceptive professional gambling predictions and advise. safer to chat with whom you are seeing face-to-face than some random dude online
