I don't know is this have been discussed before here on the gambling discussion board or not, but let see how our independent opinion on this question will be and what to anticipate should Incase we find ourselves at that stage in time.

Just as the title stated, what do you think will becomes of gambling enirly if we wake up one morning to the news of global banning of football,  or a country ban it citizens from participating in football both as a game and also a sport.

Do you think gambling/casinos will lose it popularity since chunk number of their clients are from sport bookies section?
there Can't be an outright ban of football globally.

Even if football is not streamed in certain countries, it's not going to affect gamblers at all. There are people that don't even do sports gambling at all and even before sports gambling gained relivance, we've hard alternative gambling means like the whote and the ludo.

Even the current US election still involve gambling and people are still making lots of predictions regarding which person will win in the election, even when the season has had a major break, people still find ways to gamble through playing of virtual and casinos so it's totally impossible for gambling to come to an alt.

Of course, they will. Football is the most popular sport in the world, and it has a huge fan following, following that fact, sportsbooks have a larger percentage of their sports bettors from this category only. Maybe 50% or more are football lovers out of the total sports bettors in a platform because it is the most-used sport when it comes to gambling.

This could happen for gambling or sports betting only though, I don't see a reason why a nation would stop their citizens from participating in a sport in general, sports are considered to be very good for health and people who are involved in sports tend to have a larger lifespan compared to those who don't play or participate in any sports at all.

I think it's impossible for something like this to happen, as long as there is a sport, people will bet on it. If some country decides to ban sports betting all of a sudden (I doubt that's possible as well) people will always find some way to continue their gambling activities. Sports gambling has progressed so much and there are so many different betting options that hardly anyone can stand in its way. So if you were to bet on whether sports betting will disappear or thrive, I would definitely bet on the second option.
And that's a fact. Online gambling sites don't exist before and yet people find ways to gamble on the sports that they love. Either it's animals fighting each other or humans. There will always be a way to bet on that. The Cockpits are a good example of it, they are not online, and yet here in our neighborhood, the place is being visited by people who come from different cities especially if a big event happens.

Let's not forget, that we started from physical betting, it's not like we started online and then leveling down to physical. There will always be ways for people to do it and worse, the government will not get anything if they do it illegally. So, it's better to just keep it this way and harvest the funds that will be given from gambling.

Do take note also that online crypto casinos exist first before online crypto sportsbooks have been introduced. And up until now, some old crypto casinos still exist like bitvest, without any sportsbetting on their site. So in my opinion, crypto casinos or regular online casinos can exist and survive even without sportsbooks section.

But we can say, if they have sportsbook on their house, definitely, that's another income generating business of the gambling site. Also, they can attract more patrons as there will be sportsbettors as well.
It has become a natural thing that as technology develops, it will make it easier for us when we want to place bets on sports gambling. In the past, there was no good technology like today. The internet was still not as fast as it is today and many people were not familiar with digital currency. Meanwhile, currently everything is developing very quickly. All digital technology has been created and the internet network has become a basic need for everyone. So we have created lots of gambling places of any type that we can find and can use easily.

No one holds the future for sportsbetting in casinos, if they’ll be gone in the future, I think a new game will definitely replace it. Or people will just gamble again with physical casinos just like the old times, which I think is still more entertaining and exciting seeing the games you bet in live. However, I doubt if sportsbetting will be totally out from casinos since it’s the most in demand type of game that majority of the gamblers enjoyed and bring them profits. Casinos will definitely have a hard time sustaining the demand if ever.

Grin bud, please take it easy with your wild imagination, I personally believe that we (till Jesus comes again) will never wake up to such news as football becoming banned, both as a game and Sports, it's absolutely not possible and will never happen, so personally, I don't usually answer questions like this because, I always don't like the fact that it gives me the sense that I am just guessing something that will never happen.

But all the same, if we ever wake up to such news, since it's only football, I believe that bookies and gambler will continue their gambling activities with other sports, we have a lot of them ranging from..
Handball
Volleyball
Table tennis
Etc.
Bookies and gamblers will continue playing with this ones, even though for so many people, it won't appear as fun and pleasurable as football, but then, they will have to manage since what ever made the entire world government to ban football, must be something extraordinarily serious.

There are already pure casinos out there that do not have a sportbook integrated and they will have a tougher time growing a loyal player base. I imagine that the most profitable online gambling sites have both, because players might like to spend their money on either. Sports fans will also be spurred back to a particular site if they like it, when there is a special or big event in a particular sport (like the Cheltenham festival for horse racing, the masters for golf or Wimbledon for tennis). You'll often find special promotions around these top events in the sporting calendar too. It might be profitable to run a casino without a sportbook but it'll be a lot harder and you better have something else unique to offer your customers.
Most of the casinos that doesn't have sport betting on their platforms already felt a big impact of that on their revenue generation and how their grow in the market,  alot of them already go out of business and that speak alot of volume of what is happening currently in the gambling market industry.

Sometimes,  I think that building a sportbooking sites is far more lucrative that building an entire casino which have other in house games, although when you take of games that generate more revenue for the casino then you definitely talking of in house games, but in terms of popularity,  and wider market coverage,  sport bets is more popularly acceptable to the general public and more friendly to newbies.

The only difference was we already experienced the comfort of playing online games that’s why it’s very hard to get back to the old method which most of us belongs to the generation which this old method is not being use already. The transition from online to traditional betting type will surely take some time.

Imagine those Genz crying easily when they are offended. They are not accustomed to the hard work before compared to the comfort of being spoiled so I think it will be very hard to get back on traditional setup since this new gen needs to experience again the hard way.

We might want to look at the history of sports betting.
https://us.humankinetics.com/blogs/excerpt/a-brief-history-of-sports-betting

It has been existing before, so bookies will not take that out as that's their bread and butter, and if the government will decide to ban sports betting, it would still not completely stop sports betting as we can do it without a sportsbook. The role of the sportsbook here is just to make it easy for us, but gambling is already here even in the early years.

As far back as 4000 to 3000 BC, ancient Egyptians bet on dice, board games, and feats of skill, such as chariot racing and fencing (Bulski, 2020).

Banning to gamble on sports? even though it definitely will reduce the traffic, but there's always a person will try to find other way to bet on sports.

Just like tumbler/mixer, in the beginning anyone can promote mixer without getting any restrictions. After there are few mixers being seized, the government tightening their regulations and trying to ban all privacy oriented tools, now this forum didn't allow to promote mixer anymore. However, we can still able to know those tumbler/mixer service in other site especially in TOR.

The important thing to note is that gambling is not limited to sports. Even if sports is banned outrightly, people  will still gamble with alternative choices available and casinos are not shutting down as well. It was sports that was banned and not gambling. People will still gamble, even if it means them maneuvering the entire system.

There are so many things to bet or gamble on like politics  card games, marriages,  wars and many other things which might sound weird. If sports is banned, people who are passionate about gambling will divert their attention to these other options which are available and this will give more room to other varieties of gambling.
Making the right choice comes in and we know how pro do make their choices. What's profits without gambling? Sport is important but from the end of gambling, it's straightforward and profitable. Sports and gambling, these sectors have traffic based on the vast majority of gamblers in the system. In close cases, they keep running smooth because gamblers have witnessed gamblers to be complex in dealing with the system. Gambling have always been in the picture and its definitely going to be challenging for those set of people that have placed their mind on them.

We should know that casinos and sports bookies have different fan. But their fan is also gambling on both casinos and sports books together. They thinks that they can win more money by playing gambling on those sites.

But if that is happens, the sports book fan will be sad because they can't watch their favorite sport or participating in football as a game and a sport. They will reject that decision and will asks explanation to their government and we knows that when they do that, they will invites more people power do the same. Their government can't underestimates about that because they can't against their people itself.

Besides that, the government doesn't wants to banning of football globally because football have a place for their people. But gambling will not lose its popularity and people will still playing gambling. They have many gambling games that they can still play so that will not stops them from still playing gambling.

I don't think if anything of such would happen. Even if it does, football gambling is not only the sport people patronize, but there are other types of sport and gambling option so surely people will dive into other types of game both online and offline. Just that football is the most popular type of game that everyone is more addicted to, than any other game that's why we feel like we can do without it. But do you also know that before football came into existence there where ways people were doing sports those days which it might not necessarily be football. People can leave the lives without football, but it will only take time to change one thinking about football and look into other sports because one of the characteristics of human being is adaptation. We easily adapt to anything at any given time provided we are thought about it.
Chances of that happening is very slim, football being a form of entertainment also provides job opportunities for both the players and several other people it won't only affect gamblers but the house for a while and a lot of people globally would lose their jobs also with the amount of money generated from football I don't think a country would want to ban it chances of that is very rare. Well if it happen football is not the only sports gamblers bet on, there's still other alternatives like Tennis, basketball and even boxing though it would cause lots of panics in the gambling sector for a while due to the large number of gamblers involved in sports betting especially football, it's been a major form of entertainment and one of the most popular in sports betting so it would really take a while before bettors sport thinking about it, you'll be surprised there would be protests globally for the government to bring back football if it happens.

The most important thing you need to understand is that there's always a way that People would choose to take, just to maneuver bans and proxies. We've got VPNs and decentralized browsers everywhere, so I don't think there'll be much of a problem.

But relating it to your description, if it ever happens, people will just find other alternatives to gamble on. They'd definitely lose a good number of gamblers that don't understand the odds of other games in particular.
We've got degenerate gamblers that won't stop gambling for any reason. That'd only create a huge competition between casino games.

Well there's always going to be ways to gamble OTC (Over the counter), like using a bookie, as people have done for many decades now.  I think it would definitely put a dent in physical casinos bottom line, but I really don't think it would be a massive blow to overall attendance at places like Vegas.  You can easily bet sports right on your phone, people go to Vegas for the experience and other types of gambling games.
