I consider it gambling. Some people said that there are no risk factor as you got that BTC for free. In my opinion it doesn't matter if you got that money for free or if you did something for that (actually watching ads falls to the "doing something" category). That money is already yours, you can withdraw it if you want, but if you risking your very own sats by playing there, then that's gambling.

It's more gaming, than gambling to me.

You can call ordinary "gaming" on steam gambling as well, since you're investing your money in games which are made 10000% to waste your time and bring you 0 profit. Because even if you sell your items in those games, it's illegal and you can get banned. So, you're risking to lose your investment.

If you're getting free coins from a faucet, and that site has a casino, which DOESN'T allow you to deposit ANY funds, is it considered as gambling if you use/play any of those games?

Been trying to figure out this thing for a week, but there's so much contradiction for both answers, so I am not sure how to pick "the right" answer, if there is one.

IMO it is still gambling even if you do not deposit a cent. As other commentators pointed out you "depositing" your time and the time is money. Anothter question whether a government considers it gambling and therefore blocks the site in the areas where gambling is prohibited?

If there's no risk, it doesn't seem like gambling to me. Just another game.

The risk is you waste your time and life is finite. You either waste time because you dont make any profit or you waste time because you could have found more entertainment elsewhere.

You're not risking to lose your life though, lol.

Nope you have 70 whatever years on average if you are lucky so you only lose your life if you spend your whole time grinding faucets haha. People only waste their time for so long and then reality sets in and they have to change tactics.

I'm not that certain that even faucet grinders will be interested in this one, atleast not for long because 80-ish satoshi per claim is much lower than dice sites
offer to people at most basic levels.
If they would make an android app, on the other hand, there's a chance people would use it when bored, but even that is a stretch claim. Guess time will tell tho..

Faucet grinders are stuck in some mental pattern where they want to find a way to make easy money for not much thought and without leaving the house. Its a worthy goal but even if successful for a period you'd probably have to adapt very soon after since sites will catch on.

There's no risk factor, because l because you're not risking anything. Maybe you might be risking a little faucet payout, but who cares?

I honestly think it's something like freebitco.in. I don't consider it as gambling, and who deposits there anyway? xD

Gambling without risk isn't gambling.

i think more user deposit to freebitco.in for gamling with a dice, because the really faucet user don't play the satoshi earn, but have more player use this site only for gambling.
And now, freebitco.in have add already 1 ticket to lottery free every 8500 satoshi bet to dice (this week his lottery have paud 3 btc to the first) Grin

If player can't deposit than they are not risking there own coin during play so i think this shouldn't be considered as gambling.

right but that money is also earned by your hard work, so what you would call it then ?

But you can't deposit your coins in the OP website/faucet/casino. :O

Well, I mean in a sense from what OP was talking about, is that it's through faucets which cost you time. Time is a pretty valuable thing, atleast in my eyes, so it's not like it's "free" by any way of thinking about it. You are essentially gambling your time in a way.

So you could be doing miscellaneous stuff to siphon the faucets for a couple of hours and make a bet that risks your whole stash you accumulated during that time. Honestly, I think I would be more pissed in that scenario, rather than losing funds you actually purchased and deposited on the site.

What gambling is defined by is entertainment through risk of things like assets or funds that could be a personal setback if you lose them.

But if you can't gamble with your own money, I don't see why it or gambling. It's gambling with funds that aren't yours. It should also only be for entertainment.

Get your game girl

Basically,the faucets are worthless.Even if were allowed to gamble won't make any difference ,its proven.I think the minute you Enter a gambling site and claim money from the faucet,you're into the big bold world already.

Well you can withdraw right? If you can, that means that you are still risking your coins, even if you did not deposit them.
I started from 0 in the gambling world, with poker freerolls. I used some of that money to make some bets, and now I keep doing both, and I can even withdraw, without ever having to make any deposit from my bank account. But I know those are my funds and that I am risking them, because I can stop and just withdraw all my money, so I'm gambling for sure.

I would have to say this is not gambling if you can't deposit and it is just a faucet that's all it is, a faucet. In theory you could see any faucets that have a chance to win more than a set number of satoshi as free gambling.
