All must have their own perspective on this because after all, when saying gambling as a scam for now will have and bring up the pros and cons which in the end this also has an impact on the conditions that occur to us.
In the event that you're looking to get a great deal of money, you'll want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're getting into, and that you've got a good idea of what you're getting into. This is not a mistake because it can also happen because they do not choose a site or gambling that is suitable for their abilities.

But that does not mean that when someone considers this a scam all will do the same. The conditions will not change where even though there are a handful of people who consider this a scam but in the end there are still many who will still gamble.

When someone loses from gambling, it is completely inappropriate for him to label that gambling as a scam. Maybe in some cases, casinos can cheat and trap gamblers, but this is a different case for the OP. A losing streak that makes you lose money is normal in gambling, but this is not a scam.

All gamblers fight the system to gain luck, while others use their skills to win bets on skill-based games. Many gamblers like to gamble on luck-based games, so the chances of losing are higher than winning. They just have to believe that it is difficult to beat the system, gamblers tend to lose in the end.
I agree with you, indeed the defeat that often occurs to players is a natural thing, those who build casinos certainly have a goal from everything they have developed, namely seeking profit by making many people comfortable gambling in their casinos, and for those who experience defeat is not a strange thing because the purpose of the casino is also to seek profit so the defeat that often occurs is a natural thing, but maybe for someone who experiences defeat there are some who think this is a scam because previously they might have seen from the advertisements that were spread that their victory was easy to get. Well, the statement that the system is difficult to beat is real, because there are also gamblers who use their skills and strategies in gambling which they think will make it easier for them to win, that's why in gambling there is no sure way to get victory other than luck on their side.

You feel like it’s a scam because you often lose instead of winning but its not scam, the truth is that casinos are designed to make a profit. It’s all about math—the more players they have, the more profitable they become. While it's possible to win big sometimes, most players will lose in the long run because that's how the casino is designed. That's why it's important to see casino as entertainment place, not as a way to make money. Always manage your bankroll and play responsibly.

Thinking about it critically gambling is a scam because there are no benefits attached to it even though there's a possibility of winning the odds are always against you as a gambler. Everything is set in motion to get you addicted so you can keep playing, you might as well call it hypnosis. If gambling isn't a scam tell me why everyday there's a new bet or casino site coming out, this is because they know that they can take advantage of the greed of people and use it against them. Take it from me gambling is a scam and you can't be  profitable from it.
Collins dictionary sees scam as "an illegal trick, usually with the purpose of getting money from people or avoiding paying tax"
Gambling is not an illegal activity, so it's not a scam. I don't also think that most well-known casinos have a system that defrauds people. People can be addicted to anything not just gambling if they don't engage in it responsibly. Many new casinos are coming up while other old ones are going bankrupt. Gambling is also a business that can be profitable if well-managed. Just like every other activity, gambling should be done minimally instead of putting so much interest.

I don't see gambling as scam, it's those gamblers that put their hope on making profit from gambling that decieves themselves and think that gambling is a scam, because they feel cheated and got disappointed on the outcome of gambling in the long run. Anything that is scam will not be legalized by the government, because the citizens are in danger. Do not expect anything from gambling so that you don't feel frustrated that you are scammed.
What is to blame is indeed the gambler because they cannot manage their gambling properly and losing in gambling is the risk.
Just like any platform, when they lose, they will blame the platform used, even though it is clear about the risk warning that will be faced.

Gambling that is legal and allowed by the government also has standards that have been set with a strict audit process so that it will be safer to play.
But if someone gets caught up in an illegal online casino, it will be more dangerous and of course the manipulation of the system is done a lot by unlicensed gamblers.

They expecting to much on gambling so if they lose their money due to their abusive actions on gambling sites then they cannot blame it to operator since they are the one who decide to continue and take the risk to gamble their money.

If they don't want to become a butthurt troll they should not spent on more than what they can afford to lose since if they really do that for sure they will get a lot of stress and have revengeful feeling. Gambling is legal that's why they are been regulated and only people just abuse their selves thinking about getting a lot of money when they hit a jackpot, but feel despair sorrowful when losing all money they have on their pockets.

Many gamblers like to gamble on luck-based games, so the chances of losing are higher than winning. They just have to believe that it is difficult to beat the system, gamblers tend to lose in the end.

It is like you said because there is a huge range of different games that could all be labeled gambling then. What if you play with your friends and family, like a nice round of poker or something and everyone puts in a 5 dollar note? I would never call that a scam, yet it is some gambling. OP should specify what he is talking about or otherwise the thread will get him nowhere. A generalized conclusion where all games that involve money are to be considered a scam can never make sense. What he concludes is gambling > luck; if you win, no scam, if you lose, scam. Haha, that is not how this works.

But there aren't too many skill-based games unless you are talking about games like chess or other professional sports where you can win a lot of money. But apart from that if games involve luck, even highly skilled players can go broke if luck isn't with them for a while. A couple of those highly successful poker players from the 2000's are broke today because they had brutal losing streaks, which means that skill can only get you so far in any game that involves luck.

Gambling is legit but it's a scam in the sense that it can never make you rich instead it only takes the little you have. But you might ask, how about people that have won millions from it? Have you taken your time to ask how they utilized those wins over the years? Most of them end up losing everything back Into gambling. Gambling is something that you aren't forced to go into, every deposit has to be your choice, no one convinced you to do it like it's a ponzy scheme. Gambling is a scam because you can never be financially stable with it but it makes you believe there's a possibility of achieving that.

Hi guys let have your view on this questions because only real gamblers will understand what I mean?
Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

If your mind has already concluded that gambling is a scam, I'm not sure there is anyone that will convince you otherwise, seeking for others views and validation proofs nothing unless you are ready to learn what gambling is all about. If you think that gambling is all about making money to meet your problems and needs, you will be frustrated just teh way you are seeing gambling as a scam but if you gamble to make money buy you don't put your life into it, you will understand better what gambling is all about.

First, you need to gamble responsibly and how do you do that? Gamble with the money you can afford to lose. You might not have that kind of money to lose but if you really want to gamble, you must make sure that it's money that if you lose it, you wouldn't feel any impact or feel pain be because it doesn't mean something big deal to you. Also learn the skill of trading, if you can do this, I'm very sure you will change your view about gambling.

Gambling is not a scam and it's often quoted as one of the oldest pastimes in history. There are no doubt scams that can be run, if but it requires learning how each game works and how it might be abused. Take roulette for example, it gives a tiny advantage to the house that will take your money if you play it long enough - but you might get ahead for short periods. That being said, like every part of life, there will be fraudsters who create completely fake gambling sites with the intention to steal money and can be very sophisticated in their methods. Using general common sense and applying life experience is the only way to avoid being taken.
Scam in gambling can be said to be a casino thing, that is to say that some casino could decide to become scams, just like 1xbit and it sister companies, but at that we can call their actions scams but to generalized things and call gambling as an entire scam activities is somewhat out of context and should be looked into properly before making such a statement, we have hard alot of misconceptions in the past, and to be honest, gambling will continue to have such stereotype as scam in itself, and this is pour false claims.

Also why many people thinks that gambling is scam is because of the outcomes and their experience, some people may have bet on a game, and the thinks and believe their going to win, but when the casinos apply the in House rules on them, they will realize that the list the game eventually which makes them assume that the casinos scam them all time, or saying that gambling is entirely scam.

Such forks that make such statements do that out of the fact that they lack the basic understanding of what gambling is all about, and how to control themselves around gambling or while gambling because some risk much more than they could, and when they lose they tend to become so provoked to makes those concluding statements that gambling is a scam.

Gamble is not a game where you make money on a regular basis. I believe every gambler with one than 1 month experience  should know that the possibility of wining is very low compared to lossing especially  in casino games. Well for the aspect of scam, most persons claim that some casinos are scam because of the difficulty in wining and other factor that they've experienced from casino. I don't know much about that but there is something I can tell you for sure, gambling outcome is based on luck  for all kinds of gambling exception of cases where the result get manipulated eg in house games like poker and some gamblers designing their own dice ro be used for dice game. However I kind of understand what the op is saying, the difficulty of most casino games is worth calling a scam, as it's  clear, they are being too partial with results.

A scam is when you're being deceived, lied to, or promised fake evidence. But gambling is not a scam because you willingly sign up, deposit your money, and place bets. You made a choice to gamble, and it's essential to practice responsible gambling to avoid feeling deceived.

Agreed, gamble can't be a scam when there are other people making money from gambling because they didn't gamble with over expectations or leveraging more than they can afford losing. It could also be them being lucky but they're not getting scammed hence gambling isn't a scam. Gambling in the right way will make you last long in the casino but many of us refuse to do that and we want to make money as fast as possible by overdoing something that'll later not work in our favour.

Visit some physical casino and you'll be disappointed at the way people lose money that could have been avoided but they'll refuse to listen because they're under an influence of alcohol or some other things that make them to lose their straight thinking capacity and make mistakes often.

You are asking a question after which you have already made the conclusion that gambling is a scam, this is two wrongs altogether you're doing.

Gambling is having fun, but you needed money to use in other to have access to using any gambling platform for gambling, just as the same way no one will ask you were did you get money for the food you're eating or for making shopping and going to the viewing centers, you're also expected to make the right application of this, if you're actually using your money for gambling purpose, it is only left to you where you see the money for doing that.

Why doesn't the OP ask how many scammers there are in gambling instead of blaming the games themselves? Casinos often have various types of bonuses that dishonest players are always happy to receive. Hence, we see many accusations that casinos are scammers who do not pay people their winnings, while they are dishonest and have several accounts from which they want to get more money. Therefore, there is no need to accuse of fraud when people are sometimes scammers themselves.
Gamblers’ attempts to exploit casino bonuses or manipulate the system to suit their personal interests is no longer news you know. But it’s quite unfortunate that they don’t see this as fraud but rather a way of making more money off the casino without following due process. It’s just same thing as attempting to hack the system and extorting the casino. Scams and Frauds occurs in every system, not just in gambling but in gambling, the gamblers are just as guilty as the casinos. Yeah we may have probably heard about multiple casino scam accusations from different individuals, some are true and some are just some big misconceptions and misunderstandings by the accusers, but that doesn’t in anyway make the gamblers the saints and the casinos the devils.

 Cheesy gambling not a scam , it all boils down to the way you approach it they are some people who gamble for fun so they usually use what they can afford to lose , so you can't expect those set of people to call it a scam , it is usually called a scam by those that only focus their mind in winning big alone or trying to get rich quick with it , gambling is all about applying principles so that you can maintain a healthy gambling habits. Not the one that will make lose all your money and endup with such statement ( gambling is a scam ).

Based on my observations about gambling, it cannot be classified as a scam because you are entirely responsible for the games you choose and how you place your bets. No one is forcing or pleading with you to bet on a certain number of games or promising you a guaranteed winning bet. Every bet you make is a decision you arrive at on your own, at your own risk and discretion, without much discussion about the possibility of winning or losing.
That's right, it's not a scam. We're on our freedom to choose whether to gamble or not and it's our personal decision to deposit because there's something in return. And that's to play as entertainment and the potential winning of moving our money is there. So, everything falls of to the idea that when a gambler losses his money with gambling, and cannot easily accept that. It only means that he's got some emotional breakdown blaming gambling is a scam isn't right.
