Why the Irish are Flocking to Online Entertainment in the Winter

While we Irish are fans of going out and having a bit of fun, more and more of us are staying home during the cold winter months to enjoy online entertainment. We have plenty of choices, including online casinos, streaming services, and online games. Let’s look at why online entertainment is getting so much more appealing.

Escaping the Winter Blues

It’s no secret that people’s moods often plummet during the winter months. We call this the ‘winter blues’.

It is a combination of the cold weather, darker and longer nights, and the fact that Christmas is coming up – which means you have to put effort into finding gifts for everyone you know.

You can beat the winter blues with a bit of online entertainment, though.

Many top TV shows launch on streaming services throughout the winter.

A lot of people are also escaping the winter blues by gambling online, because those blues disappear fast when you’re getting a bit of extra cash to play around with (although, do remember, there is no guarantee you will win in the world of online gambling).

Basically, online entertainment is just fun. It is getting better, too.

More companies are realising that people have very limited entertainment budgets, so they are starting to pump out better content for their players.

The Convenience of Online Casinos

Online entertainment has also become a lot easier to access over the last few years.

We doubt you’ll find many people in Ireland who don’t have access to a decent internet connection, whether it is in their home or on their mobile device.

So, accessing online entertainment just becomes easier.

If you have a mobile device, you can access online entertainment wherever you want.

Most streaming platforms now have mobile apps you can use.

Online casinos and sports betting sites? You can access them straight from your web browser.

You can be safely tucked up in an incredibly warm bed and just entertain yourself.

Review sites like Irishluck.ie make finding quality casinos super easy.

Users don’t have to worry about trialling countless different sites trying to find the right style for them, Irishluck gives you an extensive list and breakdown of a variety of trusted and licensed sites, allowing users to compare key factors like bonuses, game variety, and player safety, making safe play easier than ever.

Most of the entertainment that you can find online will be significantly better than what you’ll find when you turn on your TV, too.

Of course, if you really want to save a bit of cash, turn on that TV instead!

Rising Costs of Going Out

It isn’t just the winter months that are seeing a boost in the number of people seeking online entertainment.

Costs in Ireland (and pretty much in most places around the world) are rising at an astonishing rate, and things don’t seem to be settling any time soon.

As a result, many people sacrifice going out more than once a month (if that) because it is just not affordable at all.

An evening out at your local pub could easily take a healthy bite out of your entertainment budget.

Online entertainment, for the most part, is significantly cheaper.

Sure, you probably won’t have the social fun that you’d have when you go out, but at least you’ll be enjoying life a little bit more without wondering whether you should buy another pint or use that money for food next week.

A streaming service nowadays probably costs similar to two pints, but you get it for the whole month. It is a no-brainer, really.

Remember, some online entertainment is also free.

For example, some video games are now becoming ‘free to play’.

Sure, they’ll try to encourage you to spend a little bit of money, but you don’t need to.

You can easily have hundreds of hours of fun without spending any cash at all. Just be strong!

Casino Promotions and Bonuses

Let’s talk about online casinos specifically here.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve noticed that the number of online casinos in Ireland is on the rise.

This is thanks to much more relaxed legislation and the fact that the Government has been working hard to implement its own laws related to gambling, rather than
relying on other countries’ systems to do the casino vetting (including the UK).

The population of Ireland is limited, and the online casinos all want a slice of the Irish pie – so, they’re offering incentives in the form of casino bonuses and promotions to attract customers to their platforms.

Basically, some sort of cash ‘bonus’ designed to get people gambling on their platform, because if they can attract a customer once, they will probably keep them for life.

Final Thoughts

The Irish are flocking to online entertainment during the winter months for a variety of reasons.

The main reason is that it is pure fun. It is a way to escape from the winter blues, and there are now more online options than ever before.

If you’re a fan of gambling, then you might even find that various online casinos may offer a few great bonuses to get you playing on their platforms.

Just make sure to use a reputable site to track those bonuses down!
