The coronavirus pandemic has had a negative impact on all areas of people's lives. The gambling industry was no exception, as all offline casinos were severely restricted and have been operating at a loss rather than a profit for a year.

The pandemic has made significant changes to the usual course of life. Online casinos have increased their profits by 30%. The number of bets increased to 6 billion a year and accounts increased by 11%. People had more free time and anxiety due to uncertainty. People who were bored at home and wanted to distract themselves by gambling were more likely to use online casinos. The audience of the online casino has almost doubled during the pand epidemic. The games are more diverse than offline ones. There are also people who had no connection with the gambling industry before the outbreak. They were happy to play games to escape their worries.

Interest in online casinos has increased. Sales of the gambling market in the UK have increased by 17%. The most popular games are slots and roulette. The main reasons to play at online casino are excitement and entertainment. It is also a way to earn extra money and get rid of anxiety.

After the pandemic, restrictions on offline casinos were eased. Online casinos are now able to open their doors to regular customers. It is possible to visit the establishment wearing a mask and the same rule must be followed by the staff. Posters should be displayed around the room with safety rules during the virus.
