It is quite normal for people to have more free time during the Lokdown and therefore spend more time at home in front of the TV or computer. Avid gamers then have a good excuse why they keep playing for so long

Pandemic , pandemic , pandemic , pandemic , ... cold and hot , soft and hard , carrot and whip , it gets rediculously obviously rigged and planned lol . They said in my country the people were not obligated to have the vaccine shot , now they say whoever has not been vaccinated has to do rapid tests for COVID or else he willl be able to go only on super markets and pharmacys , I guess next step is whoever is not vacinated will stay home for ever , and ever , and ever and ever and ever ...., lol I guess these unvaccinated people (1M of the total 10M in my country) will have a lot of time to gamble online lol

Online games offer us many fun things but at the same time that this does not become a vice out there if it would be damaging the health of the person so it must be with great responsibility and know that everything in excess is harmful so let's keep in mind count it

For sure there was an expexted growth in total revenue for the gambling market (with the exception of sportsbetting maybe I guess when sports stopped for some months ) . Casinos and poker . for poker i saw the growth for few months , awesome number of players and boosted prizepools , x2 , x4 , etc but then things went back to normal number of players , I wish this boom had lasted for a year , it would be awesome with all the boosted prizepools and GTDs , the softer players'pools in cash games . Unfortunatelly it lasted very little time . guess most of them lost in cashgames , trying to win big in very few minutes , but unforunatelly this is not true.i wonder how many lost a tone of money back then ,
