- Joakal 15y agoIs there any businesses targeting this demographic online? I don't have much idea how to create markets for a very sophisticated demographic that's averse to new things yet it's probably the richest demographic in many countries if not all. I've seen the elderly happily depositing hundreds of dollars per day on pokies to the point that venues are very dependant on them. To give an example, there was an ad in the local paper how the RSL club would be unable to support local charities, jobs would go, veterans would suffer, etc if gamblers were discouraged by setting limits before gambling by law.
