Online gambling has proven more popular for some gamblers than in-person playing due to increased convenience and mobility, a larger breadth of available games, and the ability to be anonymous. However, some prefer the sense of authenticity and the social nature of brick-and-mortar casinos. Nevertheless, the online gambling industry has grown significantly in recent years and is likely to expand even more.

While a large part of the surge in the popularity of online gambling can be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology behind virtual casinos has also dramatically improved over the past several years. As advancements in artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and machine learning continue, the gap between an authentic in-person casino experience and an online gambling experience will likely shrink.

In particular, live online gambling can mimic the psychological effects of gambling in person while factors like anonymity lower inhibitions enforced by stigma.
