We have all noticed the changes that have occurred in gambling over the past years, as gambling in 1990 or before is not the same as it is today due to several factors, including:
Do we have online gambling casinos during the 90s and early 2000s ? One thing i know that gambling existed at that time too and mostly there were offline bookies giving the odds over the phone calls and had their networks running. However, I am not sure if the online sports book existed at that time.
Of course with the passage of time, as all the things have become easy to access, gambling accessibility has increased by far as it was some time back.
The pandemic.
When that happened, everything changed. Well, that's in my case but I bet it is for others too.
Yes, the pandemic has given a boost to the online gambling. I am sure that even after a few years of gambling, those physical casinos may not have gotten the same number of gamblers to their casino as they were before the casino. Many have shifted to the online casinos during pandemic, and they never returned after that.
