did you know that gambling is very normalized in Australia? while in other countries, gambling is considered taboo or is even fighting for regulation... Australia almost seems to encourage gambling with even slot machines or poker machines in pubs or in basically every corner of their street

this sounds like a dream but it seems like Australia's wide acceptance has become their very own enemy because now gamblers are not so excited to play slots or poker anymore

don't be mistaken, they are still gamblers but they are now a lot more interested in sports betting. casinos nowadays in Australia are failing and losing profit while sports betting platforms are the ones winning

is the failure of casinos has got to do with too much accessibility therefore not generating any more excitement? or is sports betting just the new trend which is where the new generations flock towards to? are you still team casino or team sports betting?
Sports betting has always been the most interesting casino product in my country, too. Slots have a very bad reputation here because local casinos set the lowest RTP on them, so no one wins on slots, but sportsbook odds are fair and it mostly depends on your analytical thinking rather than on luck. It's almost like a cultural thing to place a bet on soccer matches. People also almost always place a bet when the local national team in any sport has a match against others. Besides sportsbook, Poker and other table games are also very popular here. Poker is so popular here that I've wondered for so many years why crypto casinos do not add it but as others told me, Poker isn't that popular and profitable for the global crypto casinos.
