How Online Gambling Gained Momentum in the USA Amidst Covid-19

 

With the lingering Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing quarantine, people constantly get bored at home; hence they frequently turn to online sites, games, and platforms. The recent lockdown(s) led to the closure of Lottery Stalls, Gambling Lounges, Bingo Halls, and Casinos. The gambling industry transitioned from offline to online gaming and gambling at the comfort of your home.

One can distinguish online gambling by getting involved in betting in casinos or sports over the internet. People referred to this as Internet Gambling or e-gambling. Usually, you use credit cards to place the stake, and you can enjoy wins or losses thereby. And with the current popularity of online gambling, a must-do is to find a safe and reliable online gaming site like CasinoVibez.

Online Gambling Facts And Statistics

Statistics say that in 2020, the online gambling market in the USA was at an estimated value of USD 1,978.57 million and projected to register a 17.32% in a 5-year CAGR. And the online gambling industry statistics show that the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 put many bettors at the risk of consuming either more time or money venturing online.

About 96% of online bettors find it convenient to play at home, and 64% consume more time and wealth gambling online. More than 10 million Americans have a gambling addiction, and 85% of Americans divulged to having gambled at least once in their lifetime.

In America, 16 out of 50 states are not even intending on approving a bill, the illegal gambling statistics show. Some of these states include Texas, Wyoming, Washington, and Utah, to name a few.

Why Online Gambling Became The New Normal

The aptitude of placing a stake or taking part in a card game from the solace of one’s home appeals to many patrons worldwide. As a result, the international online gambling market scope reached almost 59 billion USD in 2019, and they foresaw its further growth. And with casinos and gambling halls closed because of the pandemic, the investors and owners found another way to revive the industry in the form of online gambling games and online gambling sites. Now, you don’t have to travel to Las Vegas to experience gambling at its best.

Whether you’re in bed or out on your patio drinking coffee, you can relive the feeling of being there in the safety of your home. Just like wearing face masks and the 6-feet-away rule, online gambling is one of the new normals that we have to encounter.
