It is not like everyone is going after crypto gambling but after COVID-19 the business of online gambling has increased more than offline gambling. Although fiat online gambling users are more than crypto ones, they tend to visit an offline casino after a few online sessions as they miss the atmosphere of an offline casino.
Whereas cryptocurrency casino users would always be loyal & habitual which makes them more addicted to gambling than a fiat gamblers. Below listed are the three reasons which I think make them more inclined.
1. Immediate gratification:
One explanation could be the immediate and continuous enjoyment that bitcoin gaming offers, whether you win or lose. A cryptocurrency can be swiftly converted into fiat currency or other cryptocurrencies, as opposed to traditional gambling, which typically calls for cash or chips, what I am referring to here is offline gambling. This feeling of immediate satisfaction can increase excitement and encourage players to keep playing.
Still work both ways though, I mean if the price of crypto is down, then yeah, it's better to play with our bitcoin and altcoins. But there is one thread wherein when the price of let's say BTC is going up, there are gamblers who opted not to play with their precious bitcoin, just saying.
2. Anonymity:
The amount of privacy gained by gambling with cryptocurrencies is unbelievable! Non-KYC platform, which is common may make some people feel more secure since they can offer a level of secrecy and security that more traditional forms of gambling cannot. This sense of anonymity may make it easier for individuals to engage in risky or addictive behaviors without fear of being judged or identified.
No longer that case though, we have heard horror stories already of crypto based casino asking for KYC specially if you have won big. And it's not an assurance that you are going to get paid right away even if you submitted one. So there's no such thing as No-KYC policy for casinos now.
3. Thrill of volatility:
We are all aware of how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market is, with prices varying quickly and erratically. Some people may become addicted to the "high-risk, high-reward" mentality as a result of this volatility. Even though it may result in severe financial loss, they may get high from taking chances and placing large wagers.
As I have said previously, depends on how gamblers take that volatility, there could be some individual not playing their crypto when we are in a bull run.
Do you guys think my assessment is to the point or do you think there are more reasons related to cryptocurrency gambling addiction? Please go ahead and reply to this thread. If you have a valid point that I think is related to this thread then I would add it to this topic.
Personally, I don't see that much different playing on land base casinos or crypto based sites. Of course, you can play at home that's one advantage, but as far as volatility and KYC and other factors, just the same for me, the thrill will always be there.
