two years ago i tried to find with succes a serious online bookmaker, that offers good betting methods. After a period they changed old software with a new one, but it's worse than before. I look for different bets and lose more time than in the past. In this way they can lose many customers.

As we spend a lot of time at home due to covid 19, then we want to distract ourselves through online games that allow us to de-stress a bit, we relax from so much work and online games have grown surprisingly today compared to other years ago

All this from online games, sports betting, and everything that has increased related to the pandemic, has come to stay. As much as the face-to-face events come back, I think all of this is going to be part of the new normal. We have soccer matches, for example, every day of the week, and you can practically bet on any of them, and even follow / watch the events thanks to streaming.

In the world there are many online games that have improved a lot because now people spend playing online games because we de-stress and we get distracted a little by the pandemic can not go out and these online games are the best option, a study conducted surveys that during the lockdown men had three times more probababilidades to play than women imagine

Online games offer you many benefits, it helps you to be distracted and you can also play and invite other people to participate in online games, I think that men spend more time playing online games than women because they are more attracted to online games.

I share a lot of what you say. I think everything has grown a lot, and that men play more often than women, although obviously there are exceptions. Usually online games (not necessarily sports betting, casino or poker) are played by men (with my friends we played a lot at Age of Empires, which with the pandemic we played a lot more). All this has led to the fact that streamings, twitch, and all that matter of youtubers, influencers have also increased a lot, and it will continue to do so.

I believe that many things that came because of the pandemic, came to stay, despite the fact that once and for all (God willing) the pandemic ends. Precisely because a business has awakened, or at least it has increased exponentially and they are not going to want that to stop. Everything that has to do with technology, telework (I hope the translation is understood: I work from home through the computer), online games, they will continue to grow and will be maintained. I don't think that at some point it will start to decline
