I have been always curious about making money from games i love to play, since i was a little kid playing GTA games while there was no such live casinos and online betting i had this idea of what if there is a possibility of making money from playing.
We all know poker doesn’t require to be lucky as much as it requires you to be skilled to win, and even though we poker is still considered as gambling. I wish to know if these games such as FPS which you can put for example in a room of 10 players everyone puts 5 dollars and the winner takes the whole 50 dollars, Are considered as gambling.
And also if there’s any known and trusted website or casino that allows such games. I find them better than gambling and lucky games

That is without a doubt a form of gambling, even if it requires skill it still falls under the umbrella of gambling just as poker does, however I was not aware that people did that for a living, I know some people play MMORPGs and they farm items or gold, and if they have a character which is high enough level and the place where they reside has a low cost of living then they could make a living out of it if they grind for long enough each day or if they are lucky and get a godly item.

That's a gamble.

I've done that with my friends when we go from places to places just to play competitive games and have money on the line. That's normal for most of the games even in RPG games where there's PVP. I've seen people betting on who's the strongest.

Today, with most competitive games are online, it's easier to bet and have someone on their end that will just have to pay and sent the payment through online transfers or crypto, too easy to bet and play these days.

Gambling can be done anywhere even though the game platform being played is a game that is far from gambling.
When some people put in 5 dollars for several missions that are done, the winner will get the pot that gets it is a type of gambling. In fact, not only in games, but on several other platforms, if there is such a system, it is also called gambling. However, it does not directly mention that the platform is gambling, because the activities carried out are included in the practice of gambling.

Every game that involves money is considered gambling for me, so yeah, pay to earn could be in that category, that incentive is there in the end.

So in the example you put, FPS or First Person Shooter I will assume (correct me if I'm wrong), will have like a pot money and winner takes all, taking out the skills and luck, with money on the line, that is already the definition of gambling as there is money and there is incentive and the winner gets all the money.

If you put in money or invest and hope for a return that is not guaranteed then it's gambling this game you're playing is very similar to the project I'm playing its DPET I put in $150 to buy PET in the hope of making money out of it, unfortunately, after over a year I only made $40 I don't know if I can still regain my investment you could lose from this play to earn too.

It's gambling if you put in money and you have to play each other for the pot and even though its a game of skill it still depends on luck it can be considered

That can somehow be considered as gambling. You are already playing and risking something and expecting to win more than what you put in. You put in the time and effort in exchange of competing with other people for the same pot. That's considered gambling to me. At the least you are getting something off of the effort you are exerting and that is great. I tried considering doing these back in the day but unfortunately, I don't have the personality and skills to be successful.

That is gambling, but I do not know any gambling site that offers that. Even in evolution of gambling, that stage has been passed through in the past as people gathered and gamble for the winner to take the money won.

That is different from play-to-earn which I think is not profitable but having fake advertisments like download an app to play game, register to earn money, play more games and earn more money. But such things are waste of time and not gambling.

that is true, if you will think of the time you will be wasting on those activities, you will understand that you can devote this to other worthwhile activities that you can really earn something. most of the time, the earnings is just like pennies. don't know if anyone can really earn significant amount of money from such tasks.
