Outside this forum, however, it can be tricky to talk about gambling, because people may have a hard time understanding it and the risks involved. If they want to talk, I'm always open for a conversation, but I'm not going to be the one to encourage them to gamble. I believe it's a very personal and private choice someone has to make on their own.
If you will visit a land based casino you might find some of them already playing or having active accounts on online casinos too. They are already promoting it through the offline shops and even though some old skool gamblers will always trust land based casinos some people will visit the online ones being talked about.
Usually gamblers are kept skeptical if asked to change their preferred platform of play. But you might be the business minded and be able to generate a affiliate down-line from these players too.
