This is not a good idea in my own opinion, it is better to abstain from gambling if you looking for a way to take a break, or minimize loses but to some point gambling with fake money does not help the gamblers in any way.

In theory this is something that it could work, the issue is that the reality many times differ with what we can expect out of our theories, gambling with play money may seem like a good alternative as you are not spending money when you gamble and it may seem that over the long term you will reduce the amount of money you use to gamble, however most of the time things happen tin the opposite order, people begin to gamble with play money and then after some time they decide to use real money for their bets, so while using play money instead of regular money may seem like a good idea it is nowhere near as practical as it may seem.

Gambling with real money provides a thrill which gambling with fake money cannot provide.
While the motive behind this idea is really good it simply can't workout because of the mere fact that people gamble with real money to have that adrenaline rush which fake money cannot give them.

I live in the community where money is very very hard earned. Lots of people live below the poverty line so they are always struggling to make their ends meet.
So we don't have much left to spend on entertainment. The most - people do is eat out and go to cinema.
We dont gamble and we cannot throw money away life rich people and people living in developed country does.

Since you people can't gamble because of the lack of money, this means that this idea of gambling with fake money suit you the most. If gambling is available to you with fake money, will you people gamble and get some entertainment? Since you will have nothing to lose, you will enjoy gambling the most. However, i wonder what will the gambling casino earn if they allow gambling with fake money:

If so, it would be better if the people in your community did not gamble because you know that gambling will not give you the money you want. It is better to make ends meet for our survival to survive than to gamble and you are already doing a good thing by not gambling and using the money you have well to buy the necessities you need. People have been able to find things to cheer themselves up by buying food and going to the movies and I think that's more than enough. At least, there was something they got by using the money.

Setting the boundary clear between your needs and wants exhibits a discipline. If someone do not really afford to gamble because of financial constraints, then they shouldn't really engage in the first place. Gambling is addicting and if you don't have the money you can afford to lose, then better not bet at all. Just prioritize the necessities instead of spending it over games that cannot make your stomach full.

While gambling can bring you money if you win, we should also acknowledge the fact that not everyday is a good day. So basically, it won't really be sustainable to bring food onto your table and pay your bills. It's always better to spend your money in something else more important most especially if you are in a tight budget and cannot afford to lose money in a snap.

Being a gambling addict and trying it to be resolved by playing in these kind of fake money casino won't do anything in my opinion.

Yep and most of providers already implemented a demo account, this mean each casino which using that's providers will have a demo account too. Does it's stop an addict? Nope, it just the other way to attract new people to gamble. An addict should met a professional to take care about his problem, a mental health is a serious problem and most of the time the addict isn't aware if he's an addict.

Haha it's the same as if a marijuana smoker didn't know he was addicted to pot. A gambling addict is aware of his problems but the main question is whether he wants to solve these problems or if he is fine with it. A gambling addict enjoys gambling because he gets hormones released in his body that boost his self-esteem, mood, etc. All this quickly ends when he loses all the money and again comes a moment of depression. This endless cycle can be broken if one is willing to deal with the addiction.

2. Most of us may not agree but playing the casino with fake money can be entertaining to a person. It is subjective and no one can judge if it is entertaining or not except for the person who does it.
3. You can get a grip of the games mechanics without using real money, you can then plan your approach to the game according to the experience you had playing with the game using fake money as stated on the earlier replies.

But this is very boooring
The main idea of gambling is risk that can be rewarded. People love to risk, some of them hicking, another jump from the plane and so on. And a lot of people risk trough gambling.

And tell me, what kind of risk I can obtain through a game with fake money? neither.

Correct, gambling games are designed to be as fun as they can be when you put money at risk, all other games are designed to give fun without the need to use money but gambling is different, so the games lose a great deal of their fun factor when you stop using money, which in return may cause the person that had some gambling issues to desire to gamble with money even more strongly, so if someone wants to quit it is better they do it for good instead of trying to gamble with play money.

A new gambler may be inexperienced in any of the games but if he understands the game through a demo account he will not play the demo anymore. He will want to participate in direct gambling which is good for the gambling company. I think they are creating gambling demo accounts based on this type of thought. If gambler gather more experienced then they will be motivated more in gambling.

It is not fake money though, as long as the gambler knows that he is gambling with fake money, I do not know how I can put that, but you understand what I mean.

I have come to think about it that if someone wants to stay away from gambling, he can just look for the games to play online or download the apps and just play such games like BlackJack instead of login into his account on a gambling website, what will finally happen if the person makes use of gambling website for it is that it will result to him using real money to finally gamble again. I will also still say it is not a good idea at all.

If the times wasted here prevent the game from here but after analysis about many things called but here is the position that these things will not benefit you but harm from here but here Be careful of these

For me it is not a good idea. It's the waste of time, money and energy and takes away the productivity as well.
SO better be safe than sorry - try to indulge yourself in some good and productive activities.

Well it depends on the motive why the gambler is playing. It's not a waste of time, money and energy to play at a "Fake money casino". This is subjective but there are some gamblers who can get entertained by just playing games and no stakes are in, There are also some gambler who are benefitting from this fake money casino like doing their practice on games or just acquiring knowledge on new games that the gambler want's to try. There are people who can get advantage of these fake money casino even without gaining money from it. Again it depends on what kind of motive has the player have that can make the fake money casino effective.

Being a gambling addict and trying it to be resolved by playing in these kind of fake money casino won't do anything in my opinion.

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.

You are very much mistaken. Gambling addicted person visits gambling platforms and casinos not just to play he comes there to try to win back his past losses so he most likely will not want to play gambling with fake money. In addition, such a game does not contribute at all to the fight against gambling.

You are right, the player who is addicted always has in his mind the decision and feeling of seeking revenge against the casino, he always hopes to beat him and with the same game, almost repeating the same plays and his ways of betting, he does not innovate , and if he invents something he falls into despair and usually continues to lose, this is what addiction does, usually when the player plays with fake money, it is to test the tools that the casino has at his disposal or to understand the game, normally the player makes this type of review very briefly or quickly, what interests him is to play and play with real money.

however, counterfeit money applications will not be effective for someone who has often been involved in gambling activities. the impact that will be caused is boredom, not interesting to play long, does not trigger adrenaline and there are many other reasons. however, the benefits of gambling for fake money that you say are justifiable.

There's no real gambling component because there's no risk and no reward.

but at least he's wasting his time and not wasting any more money. This does make a person bored but must be done to be able to stop his activities from gambling for real money. Stop playing gambling, I think it's difficult to do instantly and it takes time and needs encouragement from relatives. Op already said on the front page that active gamblers can do one option to stop playing gambling with real money and divert their minds to playing gambling on fake money gambling applications so from this you can conclude that this theory is a strategy to stop one's activities from gambling real money. It's up to you if you think it's a waste of time you can try other ways to stop gambling in a short time.
