1. Reduction of violence:technology had made it easy for people to bet online and reduce the risk of crowd and face to face bets that might result to unwanted fight and violence .
Oh yeah, I never thought of that. We still see violence in different sports but you are right it got lesser when it comes to gambling. The higher number now though is suicides and suicide attempts.
2.tracking of gambling progress:in nowadays gambling, a gambler can actually track the gambling progress with his or her mobile device without gong to a any betting shop unlike in the past that you have to visit the betting shop to check the progress.
This is what I actually love about the online gambling site. The ability to monitor what is happening. And not just that, the ability to "cash out" mid-way or even before the game ends if it is a close game. Or, from the start if you make a wrong bet. It's a big feature that is being taken advantage of by gamblers who are making parlays.

3.Avoidance of disease:contamination of communicable diseases were prone in the past but right now the help of online betting has actually reduced it.
The gambling industry actually boomed because of that reason. Pandemic. Covid-19. The eyes of the people are looking for entertainment and one of the options was to gamble to get that satisfaction of risk and emotional swing.
But still, it's way fun to gamble physically with people around but because of what happened, the lockdown, and everything, gamblers got scared to get sick too so they would rather do it at home.
