It is an interesting idea, to stop gambling by gambling. It looks a bit like dropping nicotine in cigarettes by taking nicotine in tablets of chewing gum. I think it could work for some people like the example with tobacco, but many other would not. Perhaps the first time that someone wins a big "fake" price will even feel a bit sad and go back into the old habit. There has to be something better to replace the habit with a better one.
In this case it might still happen but this is only for a small part because indeed to stop on a large scale I don't think something like this will be possible and will actually make the addict become more eager to gamble.
The reason we gamble also starts from playing on a small scale or maybe a demo until over time the desire and desire to gamble gets stronger, as well as in this case when people think differently in their view of gambling with fake money, it is very likely to be more addicted. much more than quitting gambling.

I do not think those who are hooked up with gambling would go for such apps. They play with real money because that gives them excitement and satisfaction. Whatever the end result playing with real money takes you to another level when you earn profit.

Those who want to know how gambling works can try these apps but, they will get bored after sometimes as it will become monotonous. There is also a chance that some might try with non fake money and they might then get addicted.
If they can win, of course it will give them experience or pleasure. But if they lose, they will definitely feel bad for losing real money to gamble and some people are not ready to see this happen to them. New people who want to gamble usually see the application in video advertisements or when they want to update other applications so that they feel curious about the game. And they will install that gambling app just to find out what gambling is like. From there, they can be more curious after knowing how it feels to play gambling using fake money and can decide to deposit real money to be able to feel the real experience of playing gambling.
Curiosity could be deep and sometimes it could be more than exploration to the extent that a person could even fall more into gambling especially if they try out gambling games using fake money. It will only attract a person to bet more than that fake money using legit gambling sites. The best way for a person to totally stop gambling is to eliminate or uninstall any gambling apps.
Yes, that's correct. Curiosity will trigger someone to find out more and sometimes, they will try to gamble, even if that means they will try to use fake money to gamble. But if their curiosity gets bigger, they can just immediately deposit some money because they feel they haven't found the challenge of gambling. In addition, they can also feel that they do not have more experience in gambling. If this happened, they would have to be prepared to taste true defeat and if they did lose, it would be difficult for them to recover.

I think it depends on what goal the players are pursuing. If they spend their free time, they can play for fun. I remember when I was a kid, we played card games and the one who lost had to fulfill some harmless desire and in fact we were quite enough excitement. If a player is used to playing with real money then of course he will not be interested in playing with fake money, as the most important thing for him - encouragement - will be missing.

the same goes for people who don't want to be directly involved with gambling. they can play with fake money applications just to spend their leisure time after work activities. 
I guess it all depends on one's needs and there's nothing wrong with this. 

there are many members who agree that fake money gambling is not attractive to gamblers, of course yes it is clear and definite.
the gamblers will lose the strong desire to win and of course very boring, no satisfaction.
but if we can see it from various aspects, of course, fake money gambling applications will always have benefits, one of which I have said.
Another example might be that counterfeit money gambling applications can be used as an additional game alternative for a gambling addict who wants to get rid of his addiction, although in my opinion it is not effective.

Real money Vs fake money does not help.
If one wants to have money - one should give a serious try to the work and save up as much as possible.
It won't work for those aims to do it with real money. There goes the first timers that would like to do it with fake money just to test the games out and see if they will like it.

Another is to know the instructions and rules of the games before trying it with actual and real money.

Any gambler wouldn't be interested in such apps as it will be just a total waste of time if they take some time to try and play it without getting any real money, and probably it will be really boring as excitement and satisfaction factor is not there as well as the entertainment it could bring. I see these kind of apps as a demo to test some strategies and good for starters who's looking forward to have their 1st activity in a real deal but to be alternative? I guess not.

I don't think that any real gambler can be distracted by playing for fake money, but I know that a lot of people (including me) play stupid incremental games.

This solution will only favor those that are gambling because of the pleasure and not financial assistance. The users that's gambling just for entertainment won't be bothered whether he's using fake or real money but that user that's gambling because his livelihood depends on it for daily bread won't be interested as this won't favor him in the long run. Unfortunately many gamblers are in because they need financial assistance instead of the fun of the exercise.

Gamblers are mostly addicted to the financial assistance that comes from Gambling so until that is been eliminated majority of the solution to gambling addiction will be unprogressive. There's a minority of gambling that gamble just because of entertainment (fun of gambling) so any solution that satisfied that addictive won't have much impact in the addictions sector of gambling.

It wont really be that much effective if you are trying out to quit addiction on using up fake or no value money because you know that you arent losing anything even if you do lost.
Thats why it would be sensible that you should avoid gambling activity as much as you could if you are really that serious on quitting on it.
As long you are making yourself get exposed to gambling even using up demo money which it cant really resolve that addiction and get rid of it.

Literally you can earn money from your day job or hard work but we know that there are people who do love to earn profits or money in the most easiest way which is gambling thats why this really molds
off that kind of intent for them to play just because they do know the probabilities on making money in almost instant which they dont mind much about the cons or other side of it which is losing too.
If you dont like to lose money in the first place then you shouldnt have played gambling but if you are just seeking for entertainment then you should mind that you are spending some bucks just for you
to get the entertainment you do seek but turns out that people do changed up as the time passes by or the time they are prolonging in dealing with gambling.

I also agree that it does not bring satisfaction to a gambler that is goal is to earn profit from winning.  Since only a real money can make this kind of gambler satisfied.  But after thinking deeply, there are people who play gambling for entertainment regardless of the outcome of the bet.  Meaning they are spending real money just to watch the reel move.  So an alternative way of gambling with fun tokens can greatly help this kind of gambler to save money.  As the other thread stated, People are not only gambling to win but they are buying entertainment so these people can just use these apps (stated on the OP) to save a lot of real money.

I don't think that any real gambler can be distracted by playing for fake money, but I know that a lot of people (including me) play stupid incremental games. There is absolutely no point in them other than to accumulate meaningless candy wrappers or some kind of virtual product. If we assume that some gamblers are looking for the emotions that such games can provide (a sense of progress and accumulation of something), then perhaps they can be distracted from gambling by incremental games.

In my opinion, playing with fake money in an app and playing in demo mode, again, basically with fake money, doesn't bring you the satisfaction most gamblers are looking for. It may bring you some bad feelings even. Like once I won with a really huge multiplier playing in demo mode , and I was sad about not playing with real money at the time.

Don't want to lose a lot of money on gambling? Make the smallest bets possible. You can spin it with just one cent on some slots. That's a better solution, imo.

Fake money wins doesnt really give out that satisfaction not even on addicted gamblers but most people who do play gambling.Also it wont be called gambling if it doesnt wager someone valuable.Right?

Yeah, but that's like the origin of money, barter, in the end that gambling will evolve into real money because barter is not a great way to get what you want from everyone all the time.

It's the same with what happened with money.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!
I don't know if some people prefer play/fake money to avoid losing real money. For me, using fake/play money on gambling apps is not boring but there are times that I spend some real money to buy fake/play money though only a small amount of real money. So for me, it is not the best alternative to avoid not losing money but it does help to avoid losing how much you lose in a gambling site with real money.

If you play with fake money you have to be a strange type of person who prefers to waste time playing a boring game, because dice, roulette and slots are really boring if you take away the risk of losing money and the excitement of winning it. These games aren't made for fun but for betting. Nobody plays dice for fun with friends. To kill time people play board games, poker, things like that.

This thread is quite misleading and the OP hasn't really given some thought about the title because the subject was "an alternative to gambling with money" when it in-fact this app will not help the gambler to quite at all by letting the gambler play these boring games using fake money but instead it will give the gambler more temptation to return to the real deal where there is a real money.

I stand with Ukraine.
I too think that playing with some "fake money" in an app and playing in demo mode on slots are very similar things, only playing slots in demo mode is much more enjoyable because contemporary slots are very professionally designed to provide entertainment, and I bet no "Fake money gambling app" can give you a similar experience.

As of sports betting apps, idk, can it be interesting at all?
Going by what you said, if playing in demo-mode in any casino or gaming website and playing with fake money are similar then in your opinion how do you address the question asked by the OP? Regardless of using slots or not and achieving maximum entertainment or not, what would your opinion be?

Thanks for this share mate. nowadays to leave my spending in gambling ? i use to play in site that has offering free money(fake money to play) and with this there are several sites that i am visiting whenever i wanted to gamble, but adding this wasnt that bad idea so surely i will take note of this and will try playing later.
this is not what takes the interest of gamblers but if you are practically living and wanted to change your living? then you will take gambling as this and not that seriously .
