Your purpose of gambling in the first year lace defines how you might approach every result that comes out of the activity.
I might have to remind you that, business is a profit or loss form to investment, well so is gambling although, we don’t often qualify it in the same way, it’s highly a profit or loss environment too. The difference here is that, your statistics and analysts of the various parameters don’t matter much

 What decides your fate is the algorithm and a great deal of luck
So if your into gambling for a means of maiming money or a future out of it, you should be well aware that those joys isn’t there to loss as well. They hope to make the most of the various users that patronize the platform daily.

Gambling has never been a scam, it just works with a great deal of luck,

May be what he meant to say is that if some casino are actually scams, if not I don't see any reason why someone should say gambling is a scam, because he gambled and lost the money, what most gamblers have failed to understand is that, gambling is not all about the winning and the money you are gambling with as a stake amount, is not a guarantee that you will regain them back or even make some profits as many take it to be, but you are paying for the entertainment that the casino offer's you and your winnings reward are just some other benefits of gambling and not the main focus of gambling, because the main focus of gambling is the funs and enjoyment that is why you should gamble with no expectations to win at all.

This must be coning from someone who has lost money gambling. Mate, gambling is not a scam, you already knew that you had only two outcomes, either a win or loss and you still went ahead to gamble. Scam involves some tricks to steal your money without your approval, but here you give your consent by playing by yourself. I believe you won't be saying the same thing if you have been a lucky gambler. Maybe you should only gamble with amounts you can afford to lose so you will enjoy gambling better, whether you win or not.

First of all you have to understand what is a scam. And there are two terms I will use to describe scam in which one of them can go with your idea here. One: fraudulent and two: deception. Now gambling is not a fraudulent activity because it is not meant to steal someone's money. No it is not a scam activity but coming to the deception, you might think that they deceive us to play gamble. Mostly slot games. You only win by luck and not my knowledge.

Of course it's not worth it.

But when you gamble, which money are you going to spend for? Others? of course not. It should be our very own money that we worked hard but it's not worth it if you're going to gamble them all.

I mean what you get about gambling is a scam when you lose because many losers always tell that they've been scammed by gambling due to that reason. They cannot accept that that's how gambling is.

You lose some and win sometimes but you are not scammed because you did enjoyed to play with actual gambling and real money on it.

If you have read the few responses to your question statement you should by now be convinced that gambling is not a scam as you have purported. Everyone aside telling you that gambling is not a scam have gone on to provide evidence to support their stance. Some have even helped you to recoin the question assuming that wasn't the question you had in mind.

One of such rephrased question is this one - Can some casinos be scammers ? And if you had asked this question then the most of the answers would most probably be yes.

I look forward to you providing more evidence on why you think gambling is a scam by doing so, we all may see it from your own point of view and may rethink the answers that we gave. This could be a personal experience but you should already know that you cannot generalize because of personal experience. Let's hear you.

So whose money were you expecting to gamble with, if not your hard earn money? Lolz.. Because however, no matter how funny the statement could sound, gambling is literally not a scam, but it's just that you have failed to understand that it's also not a get rich quick scheme. Because as a gambler you had to be open minded to know that it's outcome will not always be profit, as you are likely to lose money too at times, depending on how lucky you are at the moment. Hence, gambling is not a scam my friend, but try to gamble what you can always afford to lose.

No I don't think so. Because you've fun when you gamble. Some people, spend almost all their money into their car, and despite polluting, nobody judge them. So why spending a bit of money into gambling would be bad?
In addition, there are promotions, bonuses, tournaments, contests, allowing you to not lose too much funds, or even making some profits sometimes.

Gambling as a whole is not a scam because you know what you're getting into.
The house edge in most casinos is clear and there even are many games that are provably fair, therefore there doesn't need to be any vagueness about the outcomes, it can be proven that they are pre determined and won't be related to your bet amount and size etc.

But of course there are some things that can be rigged or players can easily miss important details. For instance blackjack rules online are very different than in physical casinos. But I would say take it to personal responsibility for everyone to inform themselves and act responsibly.

Everyone will definitely say that when they experience defeat, "Gambling is a scam" and this is just a form of disappointment due to the defeat experienced. But in reality gambling is not a scam, the casino is a place that facilitates gambling games and we come to enjoy the game, and if we get a little profit then consider ourselves lucky.

If we say that gambling is a scam, it means that we really don't know what gambling is, because the rules of the game are clear that the possibility of losing is always greater than winning. So when we come to the casino, bring money that is ready to lose. and the casino can be said to be cheating, for example when we bet or gamble, and we win big but we can't make a withdrawal because it is held by the casino without any clear reason and reason.

Gambling isn't a scam as long as the platform informs gamblers about the rules, the chances for each side, while ensuring the outcomes are legit. That means you know chances are against you on long term, but you still wish to play the game, because you consciously decided to take the risks in order to try hitting a big prize.

On the other hand, if the casino is shady and applies tricks on users to foolish them and make money this way, then we could say the gambling they promote and offer is indeed a scam.

Gambling isn’t worth it if you’re using hard-earned money you can’t afford to lose, it's a dumb move tbh.

The house always has the edge of winning, so if you’re expecting profits, it’s gonna feel like a scam for sure. It’s fine as entertainment if you treat it like paying for a movie or a night out, but chasing wins is a trap and will def lead you to more money problems. Shady platforms make it worse with unfair practices like delayed payouts and sneaky terms. Keep it small, keep it fun, just enjoy and never gamble what you can’t lose.

Gambling is not a scam, when gambling will be a scam is a process whereby you win in the gambling and the tram or the gambling websites refused to release what you win from their platform, unlike some platform of casino gambling websites that forum kicked or frown against when they were in the forum, because when you win from their platform mostly big amount, they will neither block not access the platform or they log you out.

So from my perspective, gambling is not a scam but if you're addicted in the gambling you will feel that gambling is a scam whereas gambling is not..the way you engage yourself in the gambling will make you to feel that gambling is all about scam.

Gambling itself is not a scam, but we can say some gambling sites are scam because of how they operate their business, like not disbursing the withdrawals of their players and other fraudulent activities attached to it. We all know that when it comes to gambling, there's no guarantee that you will earn money out of it. It is a fact that not every bet you place will win. So there's no deceptive act here. It will only become a scam with respect to how gambling platform is being managed by the people behind it.

Gambling has been running for so many years, though government and authorities doesn't fully support it, but they find a way to regulate and require licenses to operate. So, that license is enough to say that gambling is not a scam. Though there are casinos who's trying to take advantage and scam people, but it is not the gambling itself. Think of it when people said Bitcoin is a scam. We all knew it isn't really Bitcoin itself is the scam, but it is the exchange, the people, and other group who's using Bitcoin to scam people. That's basically the same thing with gambling.

The only reason anyone would conjure this type of thought in the first place is if they take gambling as a sourced for them to earn money - if you take it as a means of entertainment and only gambling isn’t what you can afford to lose you really won’t be bothered whether gambling a scam or not.

My guess is; you’ve tried to make profit from gambling but you’ve never been able to accomplish it and then you just turn to yourself and conclude that gambling is a scam and the more you try to chase that win the more money you lose.

You really need to be careful about gambling - while it’s a good source of entertainment it can also ruin your life if not properly managed - but still I won’t call it a scam because we all knew right from the start that winning in gambling is not guaranteed and that we can just go thought the whole session without having anything to show for it.

I can see why you might think that gambling is a scam if you lost money doing it.  But really, its just gambling - a game of chance where the odds are against you and  the house makes money because most people lose over time.  If you go in expecting to get rich, sure you will be disappointed.  But that dosnt make it a scam.  Gambling can be fun if you set limits and only risk what you can afford to lose.  Ultimately theres better ways to invest your time and money if making a profit is the goal.  But its not a scam just cause the math dont work out in your favor.

Gambling itself isn't inherently a scam, but it is a business model designed to profit from the human tendency to take risks for the hope of a reward. The house always has an edge, which ensures that the gambling establishment profits over time. This is why gambling is often compared to entertainment like paying for a movie or concert but with a potential reward. The problem arises when it is marketed as a "solution" to financial problems or a way to get rich quickly.

The real issue lies in the economic and social factors that push people toward gambling. In times of economic instability, high unemployment, or income inequality, many individuals turn to gambling as a desperate attempt to improve their financial situation. This is not because gambling is inherently predatory but because external circumstances make it appealing as a "last hope"

Business owners in the gambling industry understand this dynamic and often exploit it by creating environments designed to maximize psychological appeal. They use tactics such as flashy advertisements, offering "free" starter credits, or emphasizing stories of big winners to attract players. These strategies play on human psychology, especially during moments of vulnerability.

The responsibility, then lies in how these businesses operate. While gambling can be enjoyed responsibly as a form of entertainment. Instead of calling gambling a scam, it's more accurate to focus on the need for better consumer protection, financial education, and awareness about the risks involved.

No, gambling is not a scam!

Some casinos use their advertising to promote the possibility of becoming rich, becoming a millionaire, changing your life, winning a lot of money, and saying that it is easy to do so... but this is just advertising and their real purpose is to captivate players.

However, smart players will always read the terms of use or at least the "fine print" in the advertising and know that you will actually have to work hard, invest a lot of money, be persistent and study some games to perhaps have a chance of making a profit.

The goal of gambling is to provide fun, and this will always be delivered to those who play in a way that is aware of the risks and manages their money well.

Several reliable sites pay out on a regular basis, you just need to "challenge the system" and remain persistent.

Change your view of gambling and go back to gambling after that, you will see that I am right.

Gambling is not a scam. What is a scam? - A scam according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary is a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation. Having know this definition, does it sound like gambling at a reputable casino where they have a clearly written Terms of Service a scam? The key word there is reputable . It becomes a scam when the gambler takes no responsibility for their gambling activity. Gambling irresponsibly, chasing losses, revenge gambling and all. Whatever happens to the individual while gambling is truly their fault and not that of the casino which is just merely a business. If we fail to do our due diligence and make wrong gambling choice, it lies on us to fix it and blame any one for it.
