First you must assume/agree that eventually the nations like Australia and USA will stop being idiotic and legalise full-level online gambling making deals with banks for $0 deposit tax etc.
If you agree that they will eventually give in and legalise it, you will see something:
1) Perfect randomness. GTFO of here with your 'rigged' nonsense. A human shuffler, especially at a standard casino where no form of machinery is used to assist the shuffling or even worse at home games where dodgy dealing can be happening between colluders... Online shuffling is true randomness especially PS which has physical aspect to its randomness not just software aspect.
2) Multi tabling... More hands per second, more bets being made per minute... More 'playable-range' hands coming preflop per hour... Think... Think... Yes, got it?
3) Faster hands = faster profit for consistent +ev playmaker.
4) Not having to worry about revealing body signals or hands shaking etc. Just much more pleasant really for me anyway.
5) Can smoke while you play (even weed)
6) Since it's not rude or can't get you kicked out of a casino if you consistently don't tip the dealer (on top of the higher rake than online) then you basically win so much more per 'win'. The caps on rake are also lower online than live.
7) HUD... For the less recreational player this is huuuuuuuuuuuge reason to play online [side note - ties in with point 2]
8) Can peacefully listen to your choice of music but STILL can follow chat of the more talkative players if they give read that way. More importantly can engage in chat while listening ot music.
9) Less 'bullying' for strange-playstyle players. If they call you donk etc just lick mute dont have to see their anger or whatever. Definitely don't have to fear being stabbed outside the casino on your way home for how aggro or confident you played.
10) pokerstars... it is so sexy to play on... <33333
