Take it from those who know enough about gambling and casino betting. There is no worse situation for casino citizens and betting fans in general than when they are limited in options as regards platforms where they can place their bets.
Maybe there is the worst situation, that will be to be caught in a monopolistic betting platform situation where you can only bet in one casino. Such a situation is very undesirable.
As well, nothing excites casino citizens and lovers of betting games more than the opening of more platforms where they can place their bets. For one, such a situation provides alternatives should there be a reason to consider a change.
Plus, it again serves as a form of competition for other casinos as they must be able to retain their quality delivery and contest for us(the potential customers). That must be nice!
