Do you guys have any thoughts on this... plague?
This isn't a plague, initially casinos didn't develop several sides independently. They mostly hire a team or buy templates on development sites, no professional developer is willing to risk time on speculative results. However they can take more risks on marketing to build the brand, the result as you have seen most, is that the offer is better than the reality.
For the mere true that online casinos are now the most go to for many gamblers and gamers who value privacy and freedom, makes them a new trend, and in addition to that trend also is the availability of cryptocurrencies as payment methods on those casinos which makes it very widely accepted and preferred choice.
So we shouldn't build any negative mentality around the concept since it is a newly invoked trend that will ultimately continue that way until God know when.
