Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons.

The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people.

New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ People

When you look different and act different, you do not expect people to treat you any different. It is only normal that people would treat you differently. The reason , at least of the reasons why online casinos exist is to prevent or reduce harassment. I know that we have cyberbullies everywhere but using online casino is still the safest option for LGBTQ if they cannot stand the harassments.

Furthermore, the bodies in charge of land casinos should look into cases of harassment of LGBTQ people, help them get justice and pass a law that any casino where such harassment happens and they do not do anything about it, they will be shut down. This would make them serious in prevent such incident from happening.

So, if we restrict LGBTQ people to online casinos, will it solve their problems? Yes, they won't be facing harassment and all these stuff which they would have faced if they were present in the physical casino, but is it enough?

LGBTQ people have to go out in society, visit markets, shops, hospitals, schools etc and not everything can be made virtual for them.
The society needs to change their perspective toward them and treat them with respect. That is the only way they would feel comfortable in our society.
