One of the reasons why gambling is called a scam is that most websites cheat gamblers in the way you have discussed. There are also some sites that deliberately do not let gamblers win. Maybe the developers of those sites have not prepared the games/casinos in a user-friendly way that why gamblers lose most of the time.
Another reason why gambling is called a scam is that gamblers mostly lose from reputable casinos or gaming sites as well as betting sites. You can be confident in getting your money back from reputable betting sites but some others are unreliable. I consider the trustworthy side when betting which is confident in getting money.
It is not gambling scam them but the site scam them. That is what they must understand. They must know that gambling will not let them win so casino will take all gamblers money without any chance to recover their losses. If they don't want to scam or "lose their money" in gambling, they don't have playing gambling instead save their money and use it for other things.
Till now some people have never understand the difference between gambling is a scam and a website that is being registered in the name of gambling is a scam, gambling can be only be scam through the mindset of the owner of such a gambling and if the particular gambling website scammed people that does not mean that all gambling website especially casino is a scam platform but people does not understand it in that way but they only believe that provided that one particular gambling website refuses to make the win in gambling automatically that particular gambling is a scam and they would like to generalize it to other gambling website that all gambling is a scam without any proof, not all gambling Websites is a scam.

Gambling as a place to channel analysis and skills and test luck. Gambling in a conscious state, aware that you are not always in a winning position because a game has two choices, losing and winning.

It's a good approach, some say that strategies in games don't work, but I personally like strategies and sometimes I get results, where I didn't play with strategies my game would be very flat, repetitive and I'm sure there would be no fun at all, I could say that when it comes to games luck is the main of all the ingredients, there is no other way, but also think that any move we make wrong will affect our economy and more so if we do not consider risk management.

Gambling is a delicate game of chance where every decision made will impact the gambler's end result and funds. This is one of the reasons why I have the believe that gambling is not for everyone.

Second, we have the total luck-based game, and we also have the analysis+skill+luck-based game. I believe those that render strategies to be useless in gambling are talking about use of it for the luck-based game.

some gambling websites can be scam gambling platform such as 1xbit, during the stays of 1xbit in this community many people lay allegations about them concerning scam, so I believe that what makes people to do such is because they're are scam gambling websites, what we will say is that not all gambling websites can be a scam, but I'm convinced that some gambling platform the objective why they're been established is to extort funds from gambling players, so I think is obvious, in aspects of what you said concerning redirect a websites, yes, someone can be scammed through that...and it's good to make your findings with some of the gambling platform s before you place your bet.
There are several parts. Gambling, gambling site and/or gambling site owner. While it is a question of gambling we undoubtedly say it is not a scam method (if it was ponsi then we could call it as scam). But if you mean gambling site then there might have several site which is scamming or  scammed a lot of people but base on that we can't call gambling as a scam.

You are right, always gambling can lead to more losses and additions. A gambler need to limit the time he spent in a casino or betting shops and also limit the amount he spends on gambling. Without doing this thing one might become addicted and won't enjoy the fun in gamble. Most importantly, gamblers need to risk what they can afford to lose and not only money is what you can afford to lose, time we spend while gambling is also more important as money. Addicted gamblers spend more time and money while they gambling, so avoiding this thing might prevent gamblers from becoming addicted to gamble.

Repeated gambling doesn't make one addicted to gambling, it's the obsession to win gambling money that makes one to be gambling, you don't have anything in gambling than to make money and the funny thing about this is what there is no guarantee that you will make money in gambling, in short I think there is guarantee that you will lose everything you have in gambling, that's the assurance I think any potential gamblers can get if they gamble many times.

It's hard to see someone that is addicted to gambling and yet doesn't have interest in the money after. Even the people that do gamble for fun are very watchful of how they spend money gambling, they don't waste money in gambling because they want to have fun of it. It's the people that are after money they always dream that gamble such in that manner and that's the fasted way a perron cab become addicted to gambling, this is why I think when people say money is the root of all evil, I don't see any lie in there.

Depending on the type of game played if luck. Roulette and Slots, luck in this game is more important. If in sports betting, the level of luck is smaller which is needed because in sports betting analysis and strategy are more priorities. If you don't pay attention to finances and emotional control, in the type of sports betting it doesn't mean all that.
Again, it will not always end in victory because for experienced gamblers, winning is part of the bonus.
Gambling should really be just that for entertainment and this isnt something that you would be needing up to fixate yourself that you could win up the game. Betting on sports or dealing with casino games on which these things will really be that needing up that luck. Although if we do speak about sports betting then analysis and skills will be that more relevant in compared with casino games on which it is really that needing that extreme luck for you to be able to win up the game or simply speaking about profitability. Its true that winning is really just that a bonus into the games that you are really that doing or dealing into.

Gambling is a scam? These words are really just that words into those people who had been that too aggressive when it comes into their gambling habits or activity. At the time that they havent been able to hit up their expectations then this is where they will be pointing out their fingers that the site or platform isnt fair but actually they are really just that getting frustrated on what happened because they didnt expect that they are losing up that more than on winning.

Exactly! you need to have that capability to control your emotions, as gambling always carries risk and if you don't know how to control then you'll suffer more loses, and for most of those who keep losing and become addicted they mostly blame the house there's some who pointing fingers to someone and some that accused the house that cheats on them as they are expecting to have a better result but at the end of the session they lose everything they deposit and regret such mistakes.
Actually everything has its own risks, including in gambling. Everyone knows that gambling never guarantees the win, it even spends a lot our money. If we have no control for our emotion, we may be influenced to spend all the money to chase the wins. Or we may be triggered to gamble as much as possible to recover the losses. This is totally wrong way in gambling, this will lead into an excessive gambling. The only way is to limit control our emotion by limiting the funds and the time to play gambling games. So, it is true that controlling emotion is very important in gambling.


Controlling emotion is the most important part of the gambling even in cryptocurrency trading. Both of high risky and more chances to lose your capital if you can't control your emotion, personally i am experienced a few big losses in the gambling even also in theke crypto trading, i bet with big amount in the wrong time, so i lost in the big game. Yeah, we shouldn’t bet with big capital because there no guarantee you will win or lose at end of the day.

This is totally wrong way in gambling, this will lead into an excessive gambling. The only way is to limit control our emotion by limiting the funds and the time to play gambling games. So, it is true that controlling emotion is very important in gambling.

One of the first thing to do in gambling is to accept that you are not going to win anything, once you accept that then there is nothing that gambling will present to that will come as a surprise to you again. The day you don't win anything, you wouldn't feel anything and the day you win, it will looks like a surprise to you because you never expected it in the first place and if you now play by the rules of gambling, you will not be emotional nor get addicted about it because you stick to your rules.

Gambling becomes another thing when you refuse to play by your own rules. For instance, you have a weekly bankroll which once you finish, you don't ho extra mile to bet another one because you believe it will go against your rule. It only become a problem when you start gambling and don't stick to your own rule by wagering more than you initially had in mind. Many things can come from it but most often, what you get is loss, you wouldn't win anything.
Not only those who win are lucky in gambling, but those who can control themselves well in gambling, in my opinion, are also lucky people because they are less likely to experience major losses in gambling, because having a good mindset and wise behavior keeps their views and behavior in gambling, unlike those who do not have good self-control because they usually experience quite large losses.
Gambling outside the limits or not in accordance with your own safety regulations is a dangerous thing, we must have our own rules with the gambling we do, the goal is to keep us in a safe condition such as not experiencing gambling addiction.
And it is not strange that we will experience more losses in gambling, because that is a natural thing to happen, so we ourselves must be able to control everything so that we do not lose large amounts of money.

The risk that gambling comes with is something I will say everyone is aware of and they will need to just accept some certain things when it happens but they always feel they have a chance and they will keep trying and when you keep trying you have to just use your head because of a lot of contradictions that gambling will put you through and it's not everyone that, and chasing the win is what is killing a lot of gamblers they believe so much gambling is fun when you are winning but the same time you have to just learn to play when it's okay for you.

Because when it comes to gambling you can spend all your money and you will not even make anything back so the earlier you understand the perception the better, and we don't have to worry about gambling because of how you have train your self to bet when it is important there games thay you will clearly know that you don't this game you won't win but we will want to take the risk.

this is the thing
either you enter the game with a set proccess where you manage your risk, your mind and your emotions, if you are serious about wanting to win
or you just let it go, play for fun and accept the outcomes
anything can happen

You would really be ending up such conclusion or assumptions that you are dealing up with some scam sites specially if you have done your very best and applying any strategies that you are applying on which you are really that thinking that you might be that being scammed on which this is really that a very normal mindset to have at the time that you do make out such engagement. Whenever you are losing money then you do love on pointing out your fingers on which you've been believing that they are totally fair. This is why there are tons of people or gamblers who are really that pushing their limits and even taking up some loans or borrowing money just for them to chase up into the loses that they are having. They will be having those kind of thinking that they might be that lucky on next time. When they have lost again then they will be trying out to spread up some false accusations that the site or platform isnt fair on which this is totally BS, ruining up someones reputation just because you have lost? This is kind of impulsiveness on which most gamblers do really end up into. If you are that not good when it comes to self control then it will be best or better that you should be wary at least into the actions that you are that into so that you wont be that making yourself that look stupid just because of some false accusations.

Exactly! you need to have that capability to control your emotions, as gambling always carries risk and if you don't know how to control then you'll suffer more loses, and for most of those who keep losing and become addicted they mostly blame the house there's some who pointing fingers to someone and some that accused the house that cheats on them as they are expecting to have a better result but at the end of the session they lose everything they deposit and regret such mistakes.

Without doing this thing one might become addicted and won't enjoy the fun in gamble. Most importantly, gamblers need to risk what they can afford to lose and not only money is what you can afford to lose, time we spend while gambling is also more important as money. Addicted gamblers spend more time and money while they gambling, so avoiding this thing might prevent gamblers from becoming addicted to gamble.

As long as I have gambled the results have gone against me most of the time but I don't think gambling is cheating. I blame myself for the fact that I have lost more than I have won in gambling. I feel that maybe I don't gamble with the right strategy which is why the outcome of gambling goes against me. If we blame that task because it will be difficult, then it is our failure. Not only I am a gambler but there are many other gamblers who are gambling regularly and gambling is a very popular platform now a days if gambling was cheating then gambling would not be so popular worldwide. I think people who think gambling is cheating should change their gambling strategy only to see that gambling doesn't feel like cheating.

You are absolutely right. Only gamblers who have lost a lot of money say that gambling is a scam or something. In fact, it is their own fault for not having a strategy in gambling or not being able to evaluate the existing strategy so that they experience consecutive defeats. They should blame themselves for the strategy or decisions they have made so that they experience big losses.

I personally have won a jackpot and my friend has also won a jackpot when gambling when making a withdrawal in seconds the money goes directly into our account. If gambling is cheating when winning the jackpot should not be able to be withdrawn, so gambling is not cheating, even all gambling always maintains trust in customers every time they make a transaction. The point is when you lose when gambling, don't blame gambling as a scam, this is the same as when trading and losing then saying trading is cheating, when in fact what we have to do is introspect ourselves in implementing the strategy and analyzing it correctly so that we can minimize losses.

congratulations for your win
gambling is not a scam and we have examples of winners, this is the thing
maybe OP had some problem with a determined website that asked for his KYC or something like that and ended up with a stigma thinking this is the case for all websites, i don't know

It is only those that don't know what gambling is that will start complaining or start viewing gambling as a scam. Gambling is just like competition which we all know that in every competition there must be a winner and loser, if you are winning somebody is losing and if you are losing someone else is winning so is either way.The main reason why so many people are seeing gambling as a scam is because they are putting more than what they can afford to lose in it. Just imagine someone going to the bank to borrow money  and use it for gambling , this a very wrong mindset because once the games fail the effect will be very severe. This kind of scenario actually happened in my place where a man sold of his land and use the money for gambling, he was so such that the game was going to play but it turns out the other way round, the game failed and the man end up committing suicide. Gambling is not a scam we should learn to gamble responsiblly

It's a difficult task but it can be done. Limiting the funds that will spent on gambling is something that must be done because this will save us some money by avoiding chasing losses. Another trick is to buy the necessary items first, pay the bills, pay the credit card debts and what's left could be used for leisure like gambling. That way we won't be afraid to lose it because we already spent the money on the important things that must be paid for and bought.
Gambling is not a scam but it eats a lot of money before it gives back, that's the case most of the time, and our frustration before it happens could lead us to make bad decisions. Spending money that is meant for important things could be a big trouble.

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
I am trying to bring this topic back up because it was created in November 2024. Gambling will feel like a scam if the player's position continues to experience defeat which makes him lose a lot of money. If the player's position is in a winning position and gets a lot of money, then the player will not consider gambling as a scam.

Gambling as a place to channel analysis and skills and test luck. Gambling in a conscious state, aware that you are not always in a winning position because a game has two choices, losing and winning.

A player can blame the casino if he loses in slots, because he can assume that the casino is rigging the game in such a way that it is impossible to win. But in reality, it is impossible to check whether this is true or not, the algorithms are only available to the casino, and the decision to play this game or not depends only on the player, so in this case, blaming the casino is pointless, they can always say that this decision was voluntary.
