That is more likely to happen. I have friends who often go to casinos on normal days but since there are restrictions as of the moment, they engaged into online gambling to kill time since their works are still suspended due to the threat of the virus. I did not invite them because they are already aware of the existence of online gambling industry but they asked me of which gambling sites would be good to put themselves with.

Majority of casinos are now closed but anyone here succeeded in inviting a friend to play online gambling now that casinos are close
indefinitely, I'm sure a lot of gambling casinos are open to playing in online casinos at this current situation.

I don't want my friends and family to learn online gambling because i know how addicted this is.

for the time being we are enjoying playing Games online,strategic and sports game while killing the boredom of being quarantined ,

OP might be referring to people you know, who are into casino gambling, not only to people around you including those who do not gamble. But that is true, gambling could kill time especially at this moment wherein people are restricted to go outside, and are advised to just stay at home.

I believe that in the next few weeks many people and companies are going to have to adapt.

Gamblers will play on online casinos, physical casinos will have to open online casinos, companies will have to adapt their work to home office and so on.

Probably we will see many new online versions of real life casinos showing up.

It is not so easy for a company to open its own online casino.
It takes months maybe even a year for big companies to have a license to operate in a determinate nation where a lot of laws are operative.

For example here in Italy, they are talking about a PokerStars.eu thing since 3 years ago and nothing happened so far...

Indeed true, I think existing online gambling sites before the emergence of the virus, are those who are funtioning at this moment. It would be hard for physical casinos to just engage in online gambling instantly. There would be processes the same with how other online gambling sites were introduced to people.
