Pornhub Casino - Is this taking gambling too far?


Recommended Posts

It has been tried ohhhh so many times. I specifically remember a poker room back in the days (I think it was called Swank Poker) that really pushed the boundaries to the next level. Poker players would earn the usual comp points while playing but they could be used in pretty extreme ways. Prostitution, ***** site subscriptions, strip club vouchers and god know what. The promotion that was the craziest was probably their "make your own ***** movie" promotion. Players could be the star of their own movie and I think they wanted to publish it on their website. I clearly remember the "you can wear a mask if you want to" bit... You know, just to keep things classy :) 

 

But while it is funny to laugh a bit about these projects, one should really be careful if considering this from a business point of view. Back in the days the gambling scene was still mostly dominated by the male audience (this has changed A LOT over the last 5-10 years) and a lot of people felt that the typical male activities would bundle great with a gambling product. Football........ Motorcycles....... Babes....... Gambling...... etc.. These things must be complimentary and coupling them together should create a lot of pull with the target audience, right? Well, no... While sports and gambling can be somewhat OK for casinos the gambling/girls angle has never really worked to my knowledge.

 

I have seen at least 10 projects with this angle launching within my time in the industry. And basically all of them have closed down again. Even Playboy, which is probably the most mainstream brand in that industry, is not really living up to its potential in my opinion. It is my take that most other medias with that kind of following and brand would have fared better than Playboy has with a gambling product.

 

I think PornHub is so massively big when it comes to webtraffic, that they will succeed no matter what. The question is if they would have done better focusing on something else as a side-business? I believe the answer is yes.

 

Girls (as the centerpiece of the brand) and gambling just doesn't work that well together.

I really don't think the Pornhub network needed another side business, I'm sure they are already raking in the millions right?

Yes, I don't know precisely how much they make but we are definitely talking about a truckload of earnings from their regular marketing space.

 

But most companies wants to grow and being the largest "free adult streaming service" probably doesn't leave much room for growth. Furthermore, I wouldn't fault them if they were a bit nervous about the development in their industry and would like to create other products on the side, that they can profit from. From that perspective, I can understand why they are branching out but I just don't think the gaming industry is necessary a good fit for them.

How are they raking in the millions if the industry has mostly switched to free viewership? Are they solely making profits from advertising space? I think the gambling outreach is a way to get back those profits.

Agree. The competition in both online gambling and p*rn industry is ferocious and everyone is fighting really hard for their piece of the pie. Using your traffic in the best possible way could be a key to the success.

I think pornhub has always been free (for the visitors). They have an obscene amount of visitors on a daily basis and they probably sell their advertising space on a CPM basis meaning that you pay a given fee per 1.000 showings of your ad. Given that I heard a while back that they are the largest of their kind in that industry, I do believe that they are making more money now than ever before and it is for sure millions every year. How much precisely I don't know but it is probably possible to find out.

 

I don't think they are doing this to "get something back". I think they are peaking at the moment earnings wise and are simply looking for ways to expand their business within their industry and felt (like so many before) that gaming might be a good choice since gaming and nude women should go great together in theory. The problem is that if history have showed us anything, that is really not the case. Maybe at live casinos (Vegas does apply a certain amount of eye candy for players with success) but online it has usually been a flop. It will be interesting to see if they manage to succeed with this but I doubt it. As mentioned before, I think they will be successful in the sense that they will be making money on it. They are simply to huge traffic wise not to create some players and make some money. But I also believe they probably would have done better going with another angle within their field of expertise (maybe selling ***** toys, outfits or something like that).

I agree that is will be interesting to see where this goes! I can't ever see this casino attracting serious gamblers though and let's face it it's never going to be on any our top 10 list right!

Well... people are addicted to both gaming and *****, why not have them both in one place lol I won't be playing there. Still waiting for the casino who will also provide drinks/ food while I play lol

 

An online casino that provides food and drink .... I'll wait for that day to come too!

Gosh, I felt quite uncomfortable/anxious playing live casino games even with a dressed up girl! 

I can only imagine how it would make me feel if the lady was completely naked! I would probably stress out completely, wager everything I have, lose it all and faint! Maybe that's what they're aiming at? :D

I'm guessing the 'wager it all, lose it all' is probably their aim!

 

I honestly don't see why the ladies need to be completely naked though! Will men (or indeed women :p ) seriously bet more just because they can look at a naked women when they do it?

I know some guys who lose their ability to think straight when they are face to face with a pretty girl. Imagine she's naked! That could lead to pretty irrational decisions on players' behalf! :)

Bingo! In my humble opinion you nailed it with the word "irrational" as this is exactly how most men react in front of a pretty and sexy girl, let alone if she is naked. :D And players taking irrational decisions while gambling is exactly what every casino wants, even though I know it doesn't sound pretty. :p

Actually, you guys have raised good points here I think it's time to try Pornhub casino but I'll be betting small so I can stare at them as long as I can.....and after losing all the money, I can navigate to other parts of the site for real pleasure :wub:

 

Hahahahaha! Brilliant post Coolivert - Have fun, or maybe that isn't the right terminology to use in this instance!  :blush:

It's a very attractive online casino specially for us men who have a soft spot for girls. But still your playing with real money over a live nude dealer, we can loose because of that. And on question remain, would cashing out will be difficult for us or will we be able to get money from winning in pornhub? It would be great if someone can share his experience playing with pornhub casino.

Actually I couldn't agree you with you more. I'd love to hear how the withdrawal process is handled at this casino. Let's hope we get some readers replying who has made a withdrawal.
