I believe that the new era is based on the digitization of everything, as you say, for me it is an improvement because if playing in the online casino means some advantages, among them it can be the non-danger of leaving, the non-danger of running risks if you drink liquor and have to take a car to drive, while at home you can drink alcohol and play with complete freedom, if you drink too much, you will simply be at home, you will not look for problems and you will not have any of problems with authorities, even with the same casino security, I think that the digitization of casinos is a great improvement in our lives, if we see it as a way of having fun.
Without a doubt the Internet has changed our lives and this includes gambling, but at least to me the main factor why I prefer online gambling is simply the cost, gambling at a physical casino is too expensive as you have to overpay for everything like transportation, parking fees, drinks, food and you have not even began to gamble yet, and as we know the minimum bet at casinos is very high, while at online casinos, especially cryptocurrency casinos, the minimum bet is very low.
I'm not sure where you are, but parking here in a land base casino is free of charge. Well if you don't have a car, you can go take a cab and it's not that expensive and some food and drinks are free. But in any case, playing online has it's advantage.
And yeah, with the advancement of technology, everyone can play on casinos anytime they want. I still remember back then, I was awe when I entered my first casino and seeing lots of money and players around. Now, it's just regular for me and again, with internet nowadays, you can play anytime to what at your fingertips and that's how gambling evolved throughout mankind's history.
