Online casinos were kind of isolating people and the best thing about it is the privacy. When we talk about socializing it is the land based casinos where people come just to have good talk and spend their time playing games and the win/loss serves to be discussion for some time period.
With online casinos the chats used to serve as a communication system, but the same doesn't serve as a effective way. Some find it disturbing as gamblers used to request tip and support to funds to gamble. Socializing through online casinos takes place when friends unite or at some special occasions.

Well, I don't think it's really for "socializing" because the majority for sure is only small talk if you don't know the person. If you do know, you won't have time to even talk to them I think. It's better to find somewhere else to socialize if you were to want to "touch grass" or something like that.
I feel like you want some social media aspect in casinos. That may be a new idea or something. Please credit me with the idea lol
The thing is, even for small talk, you need to see a person's face and hear their tone of voice. I feel like you want some social media aspect in casinos. That may be a new idea or something. Please credit me with the idea lol
The snarky comments made at poker and blackjack tables for instance are all the money sometimes.
Or getting to know someone that just went bust for the day and just wants to talk about slots, these are some of the funniest conversations one can have imho. But the features in an online casino wouldn't really provide such a experience or anything equivalent to any level.
Maaaaybe to some extent streamers cover part of that, but still itls also one sided because the streamer is the only one interacting, and viewers can only just write.
It would probably look good for casinos if they implement a feature where players has the option to just talk over a mic and not type what they want to say. The socialization on online games would improve dramatically but they would need more moderation on that because some players could be wild and chaotic or talk over each other. That's going to cost them too so they can weigh in on the pros and cons of adding it.

I do not know how online casino can be socialized like land based casinos. The only fun I use to have is when I am with my friends and playing some games together. But this is not happening all the time but just few days in a year.
Land based casinos are more socialized but more people are visiting online casinos. Socializing will not be a way to make online casinos draw more gamblers to them (the gambling site), but what could draw more users to gambling site is what online casinos will focus more on.

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.
