Normally the summer holidays is the calmest period for a lot of sites just because a lot of people are going on a holiday or are travelling. I have only 2 golden tickets (won both with the WOF) and you only need to have 1 to win it lol. Congrats with the 83 tickets and hopefully someone from this forum can win the lambo!
That's the point, summer holidays could be good or bad for casinos. It means bad things because there are less people who are involved and some of them left for vacations, but it means good because it means there are a lot of people who stayed and the ones that stayed gambled more.
I am not sure how much the wagering amount changed, but I am sure that we are talking about people who ended up with a bit of a problem of gambling if they are all in front of PC. So, it's both good and bad, less people but more wagering by those people. This could be the main reason why some have as much as 83, because they were here during holiday when everyone else was on vacation.
I doubt that, I am sure that during the summer even people who do not go to vacation, end up going outside to some place near them. Maybe just a few beers, maybe a movie, maybe a play, maybe just walking but at the end of the day during the summer is the time people go out the most and nothing else.
I know for a fact that I did, I haven't been home too much this summer and even though some of them were not reasons I really liked (hospital visits to grandma) some of them were fun (eating in a cafe with my wife) so at the end of the day even though you do not go to vacation at all times, you still at least go for something that will make a bit of time away from pc type of deal.
