I'm kinda neutral to this. Almost everything has a pros and cons. This maybe a good thing for newbie or someone who wanted to entertain himself but may also lead to trying it with real money and became addicted. Not all but once someone tried gambling, it will be very hard to resist the next time. If you are already a gambler with real money it may not be appealing as it is missing something like thrill, chance to win real money, etc.

Gambling with fake money won't give the satisfaction you get from betting with real money because you're not taking a risk and you know you are not winning or losing in the real sense. It can't be called gambling if there is no possibility of a true win or loss. I don't think anyone who enjoys gambling would patronize those apps. 
For some it may be advantage of having more skill in the real life to win bet while to some people it may seem to be nothing because it is not real they can't feel that Real vibes of playing a bet. Some people prefer to practise some things before they go into real about it.
But playing with fake money can provide a gambling experience and if one can think about it further, it will give him a chance to save his money from losing the consequences of gambling with real money. In addition, even though the experience is not thrilling due to the factor of losing real money, he can still enjoy all the gambling games because the fake money provides an opportunity to experience it. But if, in the end, they decide to use real money, hopefully, they can control themselves not to spend a lot of money on gambling.

Valid point. While it is not as thrilling and exciting compared to gambling using real money, you have a point that playing using fake money could really save someone their fund. If a player is just starting to gamble, it is important to practice strategy and technique on how to win. Being able to play while not really risking your money at hand could be beneficial because you can hone your skills and thinking without worrying of losing.

You can have an experience while enjoying it and at the same time, you will not go bankrupt if ever you mess up. Hence, i guess it's a good idea. Although of course, this is a subjective matter as some people really prefer using real money even they are just starting who are after the thrill and excitement. And maybe after the winning as well. I guess we gotta just do what we want as long as we are disciplined enough. After all, we're adults.

Personally I never liked using play money when gambling. I felt like I am just wasting my time. Although I can understand that it may work on some people though hence some casinos have them. But for me, I would rather spend even if it's only a very small amount of money just to satisfy my crave to gamble. I remember when I was in college, I still went out to gamble despite limited money at that time. I exited later in less than 30 minutes after losing.  Cheesy

It's actually nothing if we'll talk about reality on it.

Some people prefer to practise some things before they go into real about it.
You can have practice with it but that's not enough for you to have that actual interaction with gambling and a casino. It's just a demo that you can try and enjoy unlimited if you want to but for most, that's not it.
The best practice is to switch off all the devices and pick up a camera and go to a hilly station. This hum drum of life has brought us so much trouble than good.
If you really want to quit gambling. Make up you mind and just do it these fake apps are not going to help any way and is a complete waste of time.


You could argue that counterfeit money gambling doesn't help, maybe for someone out there struggling to break free from addiction it could help a little bit as he transitions. there are many people who can immediately stop their addiction to gambling but there are also people who need help to get rid of their addiction. I guess every case can't be decided relatively the same for everyone. maybe for you it's just a waste of time and maybe for other people it's different, we can see it from all perspectives

That depends on your crave, if you're totally satisfied with gambling with play money then you're good at it. But it's true that if you're not satisfied and you want to gamble for real, it's just going to increase your desire to gamble more with real money.
There's no sense that you hit the jackpot but it's just play money and you want thrilling reality if that's a real money that's good to be cashed out.
Even though this really depends on everyone's thinking but still I still feel that no one will be satisfied with this even though it could be 1:100 or maybe even more because in essence there is a special pleasure in gambling that is not something that can be obtained from money toys there.
Even if we win in large numbers it still will not provide pleasure and this only exacerbates the ambition of the addict.

That is the number one factor why this alternative does not work.A gambler even if he hits the maximum pay line from a slot machine for example when not playing with real money does not feel any different emotion or the adrenaline that he would have felt if that maximum pay line were to be hit in a real money environment.I know a lot of my colleagues who try to quit gambling by playing demo games of their favorite slot but so far no one of them has been able to quit gambling,they still play with real money so the alternative does not work.

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
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)

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?

I think for practicing or learning how to gamble, obviously you should not be using real money. Although any online gambling casino owner would love to disagree with me but I do not think it is fair that you should lose money because you did not fully understand the game.

But once you have firmly grasped the rules and perfected the game the way you would like, I doubt that gambling with fake money is something that you will find interesting anymore. In fact, it would seem like a huge waste of time and every win would seem like something you could have won for real. Which can make you feel disappointed that you did not bet real money.

That won't change everything. We are talking about a gambling addict and not a regular one. They won't satisfy with play money as they are used to playing on real money. That craving you are talking about can't be applied here as what I said, the gambler is already in addiction and trying to recover.

Playing at play money is not a good idea for these types of gamblers.

It won't help them to recover but rather they will just miss playing at real gambling.

I am not sure if it is a good thing to allow those that are recovering from gambling access to apps, websites and games that allow them to still carry out their addiction even if there is zero money staked.

This is something only scientific research would be able to demonstrate as being positive for an addict going through the rehabilitation process. Just because money is not staked (therefore no money can be won or lost) it does not mean it is the way forward to help addicts because the feeling they get when placing bets might not be suppressed until they actually place bets with real currencies.

I would not advocate these types of applications being used by those suffering from gambling addictions.

The only solution to someone not winning real money, for example, is to create levels of growth in the hierarchy. For example, you can create ranks like in the military, then there is a chance that many users will want to donate money to grow in that rankings
Not that many will be happy to donate for that sake of rankings and for them to progress. That's the reality and those potential donators that are also gamblers.

They'll choose to gamble with that money instead of donating it to those players that are into lower rank that only gambles freely as they find it unfair to them that gambles with actual legitimate money.

These are interesting but I haven't tried any of these, I've tried free tokens offered by some casinos as a way to test their games, but not these so-called Fake money gambling apps, for real gamblers to quit gambling these are useless, that will only remind them of the game and the feeling they have when playing, and they are going to get unnatural satisfaction, just knowing that there are no rewards on their every wins, gamblers want motivation to continue playing and winning real money is one of them.

I never think that this is a sensible practice. Real gamblers are never satisfied with such things. They want to experience the feeling of real money. Also, when they play with counterfeit money, they get more angry because they don't have the money when they win, and it hurts them more. I think this will do more harm than benefits.

Why are you going to be angry for something you are well aware that made is for the test, the developers even tried by allowing you to put your skills into the test, gambling doesn't have a test place where you can test your ability and things you have learnt, you have to wager money to know your outcome if it is bad or excellent to make you some winnings. The OP also didn't state the aim was driven at addicted gamblers, I thought gambling was supposed to be fun, what is the after effect of the outcome if you win big, what about the loss? How do you handle it if had been the opposite when you lose a big amount? Just think about it.

They will definitely get angry when they win because they can't make use of the money, they start wishing they have been using their own money to gamble and not a fake money, which will encourage them to use their main money to gamble which after depositing money to the site, they might start losing but they won't stop, because they believe they will win because they were winning when using fake money. If you want to stop gambling is better you stop it completely if you can, but don't think fake money is an alternative.

It's still a form of gambling that continue to heighten the interest of all gamblers to engage in real life gambling. So for me, it's not helpful at all. The only difference is that you lose but there were no real money involved, it's like a game before where we used to be fond of play money back in our childhood days. However, if one aims to stop gambling addiction, then he should not be involved anymore in all types of gambling games. Instead, making another hobbies that can divert a gambler's interest will always be a good option, but make sure the family is always around to assist the gambler.

That seems to be it. There's no potential on it because there's no actual value being put into it, yes, you will enjoy but if the potential that we'll be seeing from it isn't the one that we used to have with the typical way of gambling.
It's just for having the familiarity of the game and if you're okay to do that again and again, there's nothing wrong and no one can beat you with that and you still have your money with you.

You will just make yourself want to gamble more because anything might happen especially when you hitting much huge win on using free apps for sure it will urge the user to gamble using real money. And this free apps is not totally helping because it teach more on how to gamble and how they can familiarize the game so for me this option is not good to do if you want to quit on this activity.
That depends on your crave, if you're totally satisfied with gambling with play money then you're good at it. But it's true that if you're not satisfied and you want to gamble for real, it's just going to increase your desire to gamble more with real money.

Correct, a gambler which happens to win a prize with play money will immediately think about what we could have done with that money if it was real and then in a moment of weakness they will try to gamble for real thinking today is their lucky day, and we know what happens next, even if they were to win they will keep gambling to the point they will begin to lose money, their gambling issues will begin to manifest again and with each failed attempt to stop gambling they will start to lose confidence in themselves thinking it is impossible for them to ever beat their addiction.
