The Futurebet-powered sportsbook and casino has completed the first comprehensive study of how online gambling affects gambling at traditional offline casinos in locations such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
Key findings from the study, which was conducted within the Monkeybet\’s customers, indicated:
75% of respondents said they have played a game online first, before playing it at casino, if ever. Reasons given were less intimidation regarding making mistakes at the table, lower minimum bets online, online instructions, and ease of play.
58% of respondents said playing a game online has led them to try the same game at a casino.
49% of sports gamblers stated that gambling online allowed them to explore more complicated parlay and teaser bets, which they now play when visiting a destination casino.
63% of respondents said that their visits to vacation destination casinos in locations like Las Vegas and Atlantic City have increased over the past 2 years by at least one trip during this time period.
92% of respondents who have played poker in a vacation destination casino said they would never have done so had they not played online first.
“I am confident that our studies show that online gaming is only increasing the popularity of gambling at vacation destination casinos,” said Jeff Fuller, SVP of Business Development for MonkeyBet.com.
“Online allows players to experiment, and our number show that this is positively affecting the destination casinos as well,” he added.
