I don't know is this have been discussed before here on the gambling discussion board or not, but let see how our independent opinion on this question will be and what to anticipate should Incase we find ourselves at that stage in time.
Just as the title stated, what do you think will becomes of gambling enirly if we wake up one morning to the news of global banning of football, or a country ban it citizens from participating in football both as a game and also a sport.
Do you think gambling/casinos will lose it popularity since chunk number of their clients are from sport bookies section?
There are already pure casinos out there that do not have a sportbook integrated and they will have a tougher time growing a loyal player base. I imagine that the most profitable online gambling sites have both, because players might like to spend their money on either. Sports fans will also be spurred back to a particular site if they like it, when there is a special or big event in a particular sport (like the Cheltenham festival for horse racing, the masters for golf or Wimbledon for tennis). You'll often find special promotions around these top events in the sporting calendar too. It might be profitable to run a casino without a sportbook but it'll be a lot harder and you better have something else unique to offer your customers.
