What is your opinion on Fake money gambling apps, do you recognize the potential I think they have to assist in reducing the number of gamblers who loose real money?

No because Fake money gambling apps is just there to entice players to gamble real money.
Gamblers need a rehab and commitment if they want to stop. Not another way that they can strategize or create methods they will later on try with real bets.

In my opinion, you can get rid of one game addiction with the help of another game addiction. 

For example, instead of playing roulette, you can start playing computer games (strategy).  But in any case, passion and sincere interest in the gameplay is necessary.  Playing for counterfeit money, in my opinion, is not able to arouse real interest in the game process in the player.  Most hardcore gamers will simply get bored playing such an application. 

This means that the likelihood of gambling addiction returning increases.
This is not really a solution at all, it is known that those which are addicted to something have the tendency to become addicted to something else in their attempts to try to leave their current addiction behind, but what happens is that instead of having just one addiction at the time they go back to their previous addiction without leaving their current one, and now they have twice the problems as they are addicted to two different substances or activities, so acquiring a new addiction is not really the way to solve your current addiction, and if anything it just multiplies your problems even further.

Although the original idea behind the creation of such apps was to provide a platform were individuals can practice their betting skills without loosing money before actually gambling with real money, i still find it useful to those trying to quit because they keep loosing money.

I think that this doesn't have any sense. Gambling is gambling because when you're betting on smth, you at risk to lose your money and so on. Without it feeling will not be the same. My IMHO.

And my observation of course. In poker without good bank everyone losing interest to fast.

If you're obsessed with something and you realise it is not good for you then you need to move on from itz not just pretend like you did, playing with fake money doesn't really solve anything it will get the person to the boredom and try to push them more harder towards betting before they werez this applies to any kind of addiction.
You using real money, the feelings you will have will be completely different from using fake money, you won't have the fun, it will be kind of boring because is of no use even if you win or lose, but addicted gambler will want to use his money, when you keep on gambling with fake money and you don't feel the vibe, then you deposit really money which you will enjoy. The best thing is just to avoid gambling completely and don't think fake money will work.
It doesn't make sense then playing it. You will only waste your time but why not try something else that is truly fun? Like playing a video game? There are so many fun online games right now. There are some that has an in game purchase on them but it's optional and it's not like the usual gambling where the only way to start the game is by depositing some amounts.

There are demo games but you won't feel a real pleasure there if you have growned up playing with a mindset that gambling is for making money and not for entertainment purposes. It's easy to say to avoid gambling completely but this is one is actually hard. I think there are easier methods which still involves gambling but in a strict controlled manner.

The most popular suggestion you can get when trying to quit gambling especially when you are continuously loosing money is mostly that you should just stop gambling itself. This sounds like an almost impossible task for many who are already hooked to it and just hearing that alone is discouraging. A better suggestion and an alternative to quitting gambling completely is to start betting with fake money gambling apps. With FAKE MONEY GAMBLING APPS, you can continue gambling on the app even on live games, but with fake money. So in reality you can maintain the experience you derive from gambling and not loose any money except the fake one in the process.

Although the original idea behind the creation of such apps was to provide a platform were individuals can practice their betting skills without loosing money before actually gambling with real money, i still find it useful to those trying to quit because they keep loosing money.

In Order of user rating and for suggestion sake, some of the best fake money gambling apps according to user experience, core functionality & innovative solution are (please note that some of these apps still offer real gambling services, and if you really want to stop loosing money, you should avoid)

Sadly people who are in trapped in the cycle of any addiction usually find it much easier to continue than fight back against it. The day you decide to truly break a long term addiction you have to put a huge conscious effort in to avoiding that activity and you really have to be finished with it. It might take multiple attempts before you can free yourself with a few failures in between. Playing with virtual money to a gambler is absolutely meaningless and is likely to be more harmful because it keeps them in the same sphere as the problem activity. It is best to stop completely and avoid any situation connected with gambling if you want to quit, or you open yourself to falling back into it again. At the beginning it's hard to have that control but after a while it gets a lot easier to resist.

I have a better suggestion. Works for me, at least.

Play for real, but with very small amounts. This way you are not losing significant amounts ever, but you can still win something good like when hitting 1,000x+ multiplier on slots, or dice, or any other game with similar multipliers possible. You can't do that with sports betting though. No, wait, you can actually. You can possibly win with huge multipliers using MULTI on sports betting. So, yeah, micro betting is a better solution, imo.

Besides, you don't need apps to play with fake money. All slots I know have DEMO mode. You can choose playing in that mode, and you'll be given FUN money(or FAKE MONEY, if you will)
-----

 But, as was mentioned above, it's not actually that entertaining.

Micro betting is like a beginning of cancer. First, tumor is small, but it will grow with every bet. French say "appetite comes with eating" and it fully describes your situation. First you play micro bets, then you start to play regularly and slowly increase bet amount. In such addiction, you cant stay with one amount of bet all the time. With time, you will start to bet more to get same emotions from gambling, but micro bets will turn into fake money to play. Sadly, there are no alternatives for money in gambling. Trust me.
Agreed on what you have said, you might start up in small amounts but the long you do engage yourself into this activity then its really impossible that you wouldnt really be molding yourself to become addicted with

it thats why you should really be still careful but there are people who are really good on controlling up theirselves when it comes to gambling activity or whatever they are really that engaging into
since people do have different perception and views towards things which it would really be showing off different scenario and different reactions or takings towards it.

Playing with fake money or demo funds is no fun and i have tested out for how many times already.

You should be aware that the casino you are promoting (livecasino.io) is also offering such kind of fun money gambling.
You just need to put the game you want to play in the fun mode by pushing the switch button at the bottom right of the screen. It's available for most non live games.

Once you decide to quit gambling - just go for it. It is hard at the beginning but it definitely achievable.
Excess of everything is bad - be it gambling or anyother addiction. Have a balance in life to save yourself from serious addictions.

It is not going to work. If you want to gamble without paying any money, buy yourself a pair of dice and throw it whenever you feel like gambling. Or watch sports and write down your bets. This is literally free.

ManU vs Real M.

Example:

MU W: 2.0, Draw 3.0, MU L: 1.5

Bet on whichever choice and wager your imaginary money. You can do this for every game there is.

actually this will only make addicted gamblers more eager to play , because of the desperation when winning using fake money they will feel the opportunity if they only use real money instead.
I guess it depends on the individual gambler because some gamblers who don't play gambling very often can understand the existence of counterfeit money given by the casino just for fun. They will deposit money into the casino if they really want to use real money or else they will keep using fake money to continue playing. Maybe some of them can become addicted to playing gambling using fake money but it depends on how they react to it. If they know that using counterfeit money can also make them addicted to gambling, they will be careful not to gamble too often.

That is a good analogy. The fact trading remains in demo mode means there can be no profits or losses and the same concept applies to the types of apps being discussed in the thread which could be used as alternatives to gambling. I fail to see any evidence that it will stop a gambler with an addiction or craving from going to a real gambling site to place real money bets.

The question arises if these types of apps help addicts wean off gambling altogether or if they increase the desire to start betting with real money.

This is just like using a demo account to trading on a trading platform. You won't feel it because it has no risk. It is just like using an audio money to gamble. This is not even make the gambler to take the betting serious because there is no risk involve. Since the gambler will not be making any money from betting then it is not going to make complete sense to me. What gives us joy to gamble more is the amount we are going to earn by using our fund to gamble. The profits is what makes me gamble more.

All depends on a person if he enjoy the game since sometimes there are people will not enjoy because the feeling to get thrill is absence since we know playing with money is more spectacular than betting without anything used in hand. But for other gamblers it could urge more to gamble because.they think they learn something upon playing on demo or free mode that's why this will never help addicted or quitting gamblers to quit this activity.
Maybe it is depending in what is the attitude of that said gambler and what is His future plan in life , because if we are going to assume that he wanted to truly quit gambling? then  maybe this is another part of a chance to change our life.
Fake money playing is what i love doing way back before I learn crypto online gambling  because in social media Apps i use to play Poker and roulette in the past with play money.
In my opinion, you can get rid of one game addiction with the help of another game addiction. 


but this is not for the all life thing right? because this is gambling no matter what we call it .

It depends on the gambler's satisfaction because there is some gambler who is just enjoying the game without using the real money like the demo mode and paper money allowed, but of course, with the paper money, they cannot feel the same way of excitement and roller coaster emotions for the game that's why they are still keeping to play with the use of the real money wage because that's the real entertainment give to them. In quitting gambling it is better if the player seeks other than the game to prevent getting addicted, life is not all about playing gambling it is not good to play when we are tired already winning the current situation it does not bring a good impact it might get towards having a wrong decision making.

For some recreational, that will help gradually if there's still a need to gamble but without having any money. I like that way of getting out of gambling if you really want to.
That's all you need to do if that's your goal, find another activity that will make you go away from gambling and that's it.
You wont really able to get from addiction if you do really make yourself able to play more even if its fake money or some sort of bonuses but still it would really be retaining that addiction you do have inside.
If you are really that serious on quitting or getting away from addiction then you should really be making yourself to be that able to avoid any gambling related activities or betting.
There's no alternative because if you do make out continous engagement then you wont really get away from it and also gamblers doesnt really love on playing fake money
because the thrill and excitement you would get isnt really the same when you do play and using the real ones.
There is the start of the addiction that's being built if the satisfaction isn't giving you the best that you should have. Well, who would enjoy those wins if they're not real money, right?
As much as possible, anyone who has been winning with fake money will think about a what if question. "What if this is real money that I'm winning?"
And that's how it will start it and that gambler will find a way to gamble for real money and think that it's easy going just like how he had played with fake money.
