Most gamblers see gambling as an escape during this pandemic. Lots of us have lost our jobs and gambling is the only way that some people know to earn money regardless of its risks which is a wrong idea. That's how lots of people fall for gambling addiction during this pandemic. As for me, a person that has fallen for gambling should also have the courage to start over despite the pandemic situation that we have. It might sound hard but that's the only thing that we can do to get rid of it.

This can be one of the reasons that lead to some people gambling a d getting addicted but not the main reason if I will have to say my own opinion, if someone is having job and busy at home doing the work, he or she would have still work tired and have only little time for other daily things to do, I do not think this kind of people can even think of gambling.

What I think would have resulted to many getting addicted is because some lost their job and thinking gambling can help but put them into trouble, also some were not working until the pandemic has been reduced and companies started getting back while people start getting back to work, when they were at home doing nothing, they can see gambling as an opportunity.

Because of the stress brought by the pandemic, people gamble their time away and one of the reasons why there is an increase of people playing online gambling is that the physical casinos are closed and those who frequent these casinos are now playing online that is why there is a big increase in the data,  but many casino players are now finding it it's more convenient to play in online casinos.

Every one has a different story about what happen on their lives during this pandemic, some uses the longest time staying at home improving their skills either it is in terms of educational skills or even in gambling terms. Actually I do think that it was not impossible that people would going to become more engaged in gambling online because most of the time people during pandemic spend their time in social media or in internet and ads regarding gambling would suddenly popped out to easily access the gambling site. However, there should always a moderation in gambling because too much time spend here could lead to gambling addiction.

It's not just the gambling habit, time spent in social media also got worse. People do reply in comment sections like "The Flash".
Thankfully, I have not increased my gambling method but just spent more time analyzing the game to where I put my bets in. That way, I could increase my chances to win.
Being at home 24/7 will make you crazy when your company lets you do your job at home. At first, it sounds fun but as time goes on, (2 years) you get stressed and look for a way to divert it and gambling is one way.

People now are staying with their home and its some of them find those leisure time in playing gambling which is more risker because they ignore the money some of them want to satisfy themselves. This is the reason why some people even though in online gambling gets more debt. The best thing to do a someone told them to stop it's not the gambling platform because they want to earn it's about their family and close someone who helps them pull out to the gambling addiction.

There are certain reasons for this increase in numbers of gamblers across different places like :

1) All people were homestuck aside from the emergency staff who were out there in pandemic to help control the situation and all those who were at home find it quite boring to spend time and found gambling an interesting way to spend the time in an entertaining manner with betting on their favourite games.

2) People want to try their luck and want to increase their extra funds with this gambling and so we see traffic on such casino sites.

3) Crypto casino's also made advertisements and promotional events to attract the players and succeeded in that as many wants to try it and earn some extra even after loss.

So this was expected but this turn out to be huge as huge percentage of players resumed and join the gambling industry and we see lot of new games and ideas developed during this time.

If they want to get more players, they need to think about what type of promotion that they should do because that is the key to getting more players to their site.
I think with people staying at home and having easy access using the internet, people can visit on the gambling site by coincidentally and once they will an easiness to playing gambling, they will be back and playing more games.
That online casino can grow fast in this pandemic because people use the internet to work and they have much free time that they can use to browse many things, including to visit the gambling site.

As a new business then your toughest challenge is to get new players that would stay up on your platform considering that it is just common sense for

them to consider out those big competitors out there which would really make things even more harder because people would using up their awareness

or common sense to stick up with known ones which simply means that would be less considered or would be tried up which means
it all matters with promotion and interest for sure.

While it is true we are reaching a saturation point at the same time the big casinos have nothing to worry about as they are getting most of the new players anyways, the ones that have to worry are the new casinos and the casinos that have not properly established themselves in the minds of their customers and that can lose their clients relatively quickly, now while this may sound bad at the same time it is something natural in any industry since this will only leave the best casinos around, which most of the time are the ones that have the best games and odds anyway which is why people are choosing to play there anyway.

Yes, The reason is people don't have to go outside into a public casino that has a higher house edge (but that's another thing).
Also, there are live casinos on certain crypto gambling websites, Dice is however the most popular one.

If anything I'd take a guess that this is under reporting, so if this amount of people are admitting to it - you can bet there is another 10-20% who are too ashamed to admit it, even in an anonymous survey where there is no chance of being judged individually. There does seem to be a clear discrepancy between time spent gambling going up substantially and only a little increase in the gambling habit, you'd assume if someone is spending more time on an activity (unlikely to bet at smaller prices that they're used to) then the amount would likely increase too. It shows a divergence where people will admit to more time spent, yet have fooled themselves into thinking they are not spending any more money on it.

^ Definitely right and not only in the gambling industry people had an interest people also found out about cryptocurrency and these cryptocurrencies use as a tool to use to place a bet on the gambling casino. That is the reason why BTC as of now I can consider is perfect timing why they got investors and even those NTF play-to-earn games also got hype. So it means that people are now relying on the internet because the pandemic was still there, any people are looking for something they could earn online and for a quick ROI for investment and yet a very risky idea is to gamble your crypto.

When the market gets saturated then expect that online casinos would really get less revenue because users or gamblers would really be divided but to think off on how big the population is then you could realyl say that there would be still that demand.

This pandemic did really bring out some pro's and con's on several businesses because people are now having more time on screen or
into their computer which is understandable on what industries would really take out advantage.

Those casinos have always been there. The difference is, people weren't seeing them because they weren't at home staring at their computers. Now it is different. Maybe there are more casinos now than what there were 2 years ago but don't forget that those new casinos will likely to go broke because they won't find many players. Those well established casinos will always take the king-size bite from the pie.

Agreed, and the majority of people are making the transition online because staying at home and only doing chores is extremely boring. Casinos are popping up everywhere on the internet right now, and people are becoming addicted to them because it is so simple to bet and the payment methods are also simple; all we need is an internet connection to place a wager. I believe that recreational activities are for people who only want to spend their extra money on it, whereas others are earning from it and using it to supplement their income. However, for the time being, people are getting into it because they are simply bored.

Yes, for some people, gambling is a recreational activity as well as a stress relief. So it's natural for some individuals to be interested in gambling, especially now that we can't go outside or our options for entertainment are limited. Because of the pandemic, online gambling has become more popular, and the number of players has increased. Right now, because the current scenario is going well, many individuals are getting back into gambling, especially those who had quit because they couldn't go outdoors.

It's no surprise that the gambling rate increased during the pandemic. This crisis has brought a lot of stress and emotional burden to most of us. This has been one of the greatest challenges that even the rich have a hard time battling. Lockdowns were imposed for safety precaution. Hence, people have no other choice but to stay inside their home.

With that being said, people have a very limited interaction and recreation physically speaking, that's why some resorted to entertaining oneself online. Online games and gambling become a thing. Those people who are already a gambler prior the pandemic have their chance to continue what they were doing before and those people who are looking for entertainment and past-time found comfort in online gambling.

While there are people who are gambling for the sake of their enjoyment, there are also people who are just desperate to generate income. Some people made gambling their way to earn money. It's risky, but it would be harder if they'll just let their families starve without doing anything at all. Like what they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Hopefully, they know well enough their limitations and boundaries so that they could continue what they are doing without compromising what is more important and necessary.

It's a transition from traditional to online casino.
They find ways to entertain and earn from gambling so if they can't go physically to a casino because of the lockdowns and fear of covid19, they'd just go to an online casino. They have all the time to learn how it works and then jump right on with thier luck.

That is true, but I doubt that the number will rise because most people do not have sufficient funds to spend on something that is not worth it, such as gambling. Since the pandemic, my life has been extremely difficult, and I haven't even considered putting my hard-earned cash into online gambling games. Most of these people, I believe, are either extremely wealthy or at least have some spare cash lying around. However, the majority of the time, this is due to people being bored at home and seeking some form of entertainment
