Sorry if this has been covered before.
Was wondering why some casinos/
software providers don't allow small bet sizes?
Some places have high minimum bet sizes on table games. Particularly Cryptologic & Microgaming casinos. Other casino software are happy for players to bet low like 3dice, some Playtech casinos(but not all) & Grand Virtual.
Just wondering what the harm is in having games like keno, video poker, roulette, blackjack & other table games set at a minimum of 1p, 5p or even 10p.
Are the overheads to run an online casino a lot higher now than a bricks & mortar. I can imagine it gets expensive to run, with bandwidth, lots of paid staff in different departments, software provider, licensing costs, tax etc?
However if slots can go as low as a penny a line, why not games like Keno, video poker & table games as well. What's the big deal? The player will lose eventually because of house edge, it may take them longer to lose but at least they're happy playing & comfortable with the bet sizes they're making & don't feel stressed with placing bets higher than they would like to. What's wrong with them making their bankroll stretch & have a bit of fun, rather than a wham bang thankyou man vibe of deposit & 10 minutes later it's gone.
I don't mean to come across hostile or anything, I'm not casino or software bashing, just genuinely curious. Gambling isn't essential to life like food & heating, so casinos can set whatever prices for their games they want. That's entirely up to them & their choice.
However if I owned a casino, I would allow people to bet as low as they wanted, as it would attract players with lower bankrolls to come and play, which is money coming in, & which over time, would add up to build a profit, millions of pennies coming in is better than them not coming in.
Isn't setting such high min bets on games a lost business opportunity?
