What is a social casino?
A social casino is a platform that simulates traditional casino games—like slots, poker, roulette, or bingo—but without using real money. Instead, players use virtual currency that can be earned through gameplay or purchased. These platforms are purely for entertainment and do not offer real-money payouts.
How it evolved
Social casinos emerged from the boom of social gaming in the 2000s, especially on platforms like Facebook. Developers quickly noticed that the fun of casino games could be paired with social interaction—leaderboards, gifting coins, or playing with friends. Today, they are among the most popular gaming apps worldwide.
