Online gambling during lockdown

Social distancing is pretty much a global trend right now, and while it’s great in theory (flatten the curve!) it can be a little lonely in practice. Sure there’s books, TV, workout apps (does anyone actually do those??) and plenty of cleaning, but if you’re looking to connect with actual people, it can be challenging. Luckily, online gambling is one of the few pastimes you can enjoy that allows you to indulge your love of gaming, while connecting with people at the same time. Don’t believe us? Take a look!

Poker rooms
It’s no secret that Poker is one of the most social games there is, and if you’re looking to play for fun, there’s no reason why you can’t get your friends together over Zoom or Skype and enjoy some virtual Poker action together.
If you’re after some real money excitement however, the online Poker rooms are where you need to be. Just pull up a chair at one of the many multiplayer Poker rooms available, buy into your choice of Texas Hold’em, Stud, Hi/Lo or other games, and check, call and raise with the best of them. You’ll also be able to interact with players during the game via the handy chat function, giving you the social aspect you’re looking for at the same time. Interacting with people, playing cards and potentially winning a pot or two as well – what could be better!

Live online casinos
Want to play your favourite casino games online and still connect with other players? Then try live casino play – the format that brings authentic casino gambling right to you, wherever you are. Sure you can’t go to an actual casino right now, but online live casinos are the next best thing, filmed in a real casino environment, and brought straight to you in real time. Play live Blackjack, live Roulette and more, interact with a real live dealer and with other players around the world, and enjoy an actual casino experience from the comfort of your own home. All of the fun of live casino play, none of the travelling needed. It’s socialising and social distancing in one!

Tournaments
If it’s action-packed play you’re after, keep an eye out for any tournaments your online casino might be running over this time. Perhaps there’s a slots tournament you can join, a video poker tournament, or even a Poker freeroll. While you might not be able to communicate with other players, you’ll still be taking part in a group activity, and you’ll have the larger social experience you’re looking for too. Plus you could also win some fantastic prizes, which is always a bonus! Keep an eye on your inbox and your online gambling software, and make a note of any events that might be coming soon.
As you can see, being stuck at home doesn’t have to be boring or lonely – in fact, it could even prompt you to try new things and meet new people. So if you’re looking for a shared casino experience, step out of your comfort zone and try a more immersive way of playing. It could soon open you up to a whole new way of winning!

Happy Spinning & Stay Safe 🙂

Online gambling isn’t a cure for social isolation—it’s frustrating superficial interaction.

Portraying online gambling as social when it’s just isolating screen time is frustrating fluff! 😠
