Topic: What do you appreciate more Desktop or Phone - page 23. (Read 5003 times)
Desktop versions of casino applications are easier to navigate than their mobile counterparts. While casino platforms are slowly getting adapted to mobile phones, there's no doubt that it's way easier to point and click on a PC compared to a mouse. Plus, the screen size also helps greatly because you tend to see bigger things compared to a mobile phone. Though if you wanted to gamble on the go, a mobile phone is, no doubt, more superior than PCs or even laptops. You can even take these handheld devices inside a cubicle and do your thing and still game. Both devices have their pros and cons, and it's highly dependent on how you will use the device really.
I basically use them when I have a huge task at hand bigger than the Android smart phone but I do share hotspot through the phone to my laptop.
If you regularly share your cellphone network with your laptop, maybe consider buying a dedicated USB modem instead. I've heard that hotspot sharing for a long time can degrade your battery quickly since it makes your phone too hot. It also affects your phone even if you use a USB cable to share the connection, CMIIW.The problem with smartphones is that it's easy to touch with fingers wrongly, what disturbs and annoys the gambler during his game's session a lot, besides being dangerous to touch somewhere by mistake, placing a wrong bet size. Also, it's not possible to see the whole page on smartphones, so you need to scroll a lot of times, and any call or notification the gambler receives meanwhile is going to distract him and overlap the casino's site or app. Desktop, on the other hand, is like a complete control panel where you can track and control everything with much more accuracy and calm.
Touching the wrong thing can be solved easily by a confirmation dialogue, even though I doubt any website will place such a thing on their website for every possible action that the user can take. That being said, most phones have larger screens nowadays, so a user can switch their phone if a mistouch happens regularly. As for the UI, I heard most websites support mobile view nowadays, so if your preferred platform still doesn't support it, maybe they need an update. Sometimes a developer would just release an app though.If you connect the internet connection from your cellphone to a computer using WiFi, I think the internet speed depends on the network on your cellphone. But it will be different if you use a special connection, such as subscribing to the internet using a LAN cable provider. The speed will be faster using a LAN cable, but it depends on how much speed you get from the provider.
The WiFi device itself might affect the network too, but I don't think it's easy to find such devices. Most laptops and phones nowadays support WiFi AC (even AX), and mobile phone networks even at 5G probably won't top the bandwidth at all, unless you live in a very technologically advanced place. CMIIW. 
I am strongly in favour of desktop applications or even web based, as I think that phones are usually to small and I do not really trust much the apps, but there seems to be many people who would rather use their phone. Is that because they do not have access to a desktop computer? It may also be a regional issue, the same as people that do not use a browser?
I feel the same when it comes to both gambling and gaming. The phone screen is too small for my taste. Everything that involves money I prefer to do on my desktop PC or tablet with a much bigger screen. I would be afraid to click something wrong or miss something on the phone. Also my mobile Internet connection is not so reliable, that's why I never play poker on my phone. In the past I got timed out a few times, losing money only because my connection was not stable. Another issue I noticed in the past was that the mobile format of some casinos was buggy. Maybe that changed by now, but I will stick to my PC for gambling. I find it also so much more relaxing to sit at the PC, listen to music and control everything with a mouse and not my fingers.
By using a computer that has a bigger screen, we can observe everything on one big screen. And we can also be more careful in gambling because our views are bigger.
The only reason why I would prefer playing on computer over my mobile phone is because like you said, the computer has larger screen and playing on it make the game more interesting and fun, and also clicking is easier as well, but the fact remains that phones are still more convenient than computers, as one could take their phones any where they go and keep playing on the go, but for you to gamble on your computer, you need to be at home.
Perhaps, one day I will take my laptop to a cafe and gamble in a cafe, so even though the screen is not as big as a computer monitor screen, it will still be bigger than a cellphone screen. It looks like it will be interesting to try, gamble in a cafe and sit alone pressing the Roll button hehehe.
I'm always out so I prefer to gamble in my phone. But I don't play using the platform's app since i'm using not just one casino and it's inconvenient if I download the app for each casino because of my phone's capacity. I prefer to still use a browser while accessing their casino and it works fine as long as the internet connection is stable.
Even at home, I often use my phone because I like to gamble in different spot where I feel more comfortable and usually it's in bed. I only use my desktop when playing slots because it has wide screen.

We have the same attitude and opinion towards desktops and phones, phone applications are great for travel and some basic needs but when it comes to playing in a casino I want a clear view and stability, something that a phone cannot give me I can easily concentrate on my game and besides by playing on desktop only you can moderate and regulate your playing that will help you not to become addicted to gambling, limiting your accessibility can help you become a responsible gambler.

I do have access to desktop computer more especially laptop. I basically use them when I have a huge task at hand bigger than the Android smart phone but I do share hotspot through the phone to my laptop. Using desktop mostly, I do with typing documents and running a beta test net for proper review of a project but I feel much comfortable with my phone doing much smart work from my convenience any where and at anytime. Not every where you can go with your desktop so in that case, your phone takes the place of your desktop which makes it easier and accessible at that point and moment in time. Thanks to the latest versions of application that functions in phone taking the place of a desktop. Working with a smart android phone make me be fast and smart. I work smarter on phone than desktop.

I feel more comfortable playing using the chrome instead of the apps and also using my mobile phone, this allows me to gamble anywhere at my own space. Some might find more convenient to use larger screen and that is using their laptops or desktop, there should be no issue here as long as you gamble responsibly. Though there are site that is not mobile friendly, just ask them if you need to change anything on your phone setting that can allow you to gamble efficiently.

^I admit it, a desktop or laptop is the best gadget to use in gambling because it has a wide screen that is convenient for you to gamble, you don't need to zoom in and zoom out. But there is another reason why gambler uses their phone it is handy and very convenient to use, you can gamble while taking a break, and you can gamble probably while at work using your phone, like placing a bet. There are too many things that you can do using your phone, but if you are sitting on your table facing your computer monitor, it would be the best of all. So, therefore, it does not matter to me if that is a laptop or a phone as long as where I am convenient that is fine and that is my choice.

Desktop is the best to me because it make me more comfortable and does my work faster than a phone,since using a phone one needs to be careful in typing. Phone is more convenience because it can be taken from one place to another and you can use it anywhere, unlike desktop that you need to be at home. I use both but it all depends on where I am at that moment. If am in the house, I use desktop but when am out,I use my phone.

I consider the ambiance of using a desktop suitable if I'm gambling as I've preferred not to move the screen left and right or up and down as it only distracts me. The wide view helps to clearly see what happened. However, we can find the advantage of using the phone for gambling as you can carry them wherever you are. But anyways, it all depends on us as gamblers. We choose what we think is comfortable for us.
Although when you are in mobile then it would really be having that accessibility on which you cant really be able to do when you are in pc. This is why its no brainer on people to be liking
on playing on a computer because it does really give out that whole different experience but when we are on a transit then mobile phone would really be that relevant.
There are indeed site functions that we cant really see when we are on mobile plus the entire screen experience is whole lot different.

Depending on needs, even now I tend to use mobile rather than desktop. and that's not to say, I prefer the phone as a primary option. however, because what we are discussing this time is gambling, I prefer to play on a smartphone because it is simpler and easier to play anywhere.
actually I prefer to use a PC, especially because of my work activities. also, can play heavy games like Call off Duty, Warcraft, and others. however, not for casino games, especially with things that smell like gambling. why, I don't want my children to know about my activities because they don't understand what gambling is. because of that, the reason I prefer to play casino games with a smartphone.

Same here, I'm not a fan of mobile apps. Not only are buttons and everything else small which makes everything prone to fat finger errors, and difficult for the eyes, it seems it is also less fun when games are played on mobile phones. I like the bigger screens, large and clear figures, stability, and others which desktops and laptops are offering. I also don't like gambling when I'm mobile. I can't focus and enjoy.
This is partly a regional issue but also partly lack of access. Lack of access could either mean they don't have laptops or desktop or they are at work or into their daily tasks. They could only squeeze in playing games during short breaks or when commuting.
sometimes like what you said not many people like to play casino on their cell phone it could be for some reason, the image is too small and hurts the eyes or the fingers are quite fat or don't have a laptop and computer, but apart from that it's usually people who tend to be active using cellphones they will usually play the casino too with their cellphones but people who are not very active using their cellphones usually actively use their laptops or computers, that's all depends on what makes them comfortable and used to it, for me both are very easy to access This is partly a regional issue but also partly lack of access. Lack of access could either mean they don't have laptops or desktop or they are at work or into their daily tasks. They could only squeeze in playing games during short breaks or when commuting.

I am the same as you as I prefer to use my PC for most of my needs as not only you get a bigger screen but also way more flexibility when it comes to almost everything you can do, however if I were to guess why there are people that prefer to use their smartphones instead I would say this is the case because they have their phones with them all the time, so if they want to gamble they just need to open an app or their browser and they could be gambling in a matter of seconds, so they see their smartphone as a more practical way to gamble.

In my case, for poker the option is desktop and at least one additional monitor is necessary.
In fact, a similar topic was discussed here years ago, in which he mentioned that when you take the matter seriously, at least with poker, you must play with the appropriate hardware, that included a suitable mouse, monitor, etc. ah! No forget physical space, chair, etc.
Poker even without being a professional, just playing recreationally should take those circumstances into consideration, that is, it's like playing football in a suit and tie, you could actually play but tell me how would you do it or what would the performance be?
For traditional games, things shouldn't be any different, but there is certainly a bit more freedom, the concentration issue is not that important and you don't even need to pay attention to anything, the cell phone works fine.
