This is true. With the uncertainty surrounding our environment, if you are a gambler, you will prefer to play online rather than risk yourself from the virus. This is the advantage of online gambling sites. No physical interaction with the players.

And with this epidemic, macau casinos were losing millions of dollars everyday when they shut down last month.

Though they are re-opening, I don't think many gamblers will go to the casino because the risk of getting infected is still high. The cure is not yet in full blast though there are already promising vaccines being developed.

This situation will add from the long list of advantages of playing online.

It is true that casino and other gambling requires more physical contact to enjoy the game. But since we have a case of pandemic, there are online gambling that are made for the compulsive gamblers. In this case, it will have less physical contact and of course the ambiance and the presence of the game will be gone. But it will be safer for now to play in online gambling.
