Topic: Why not play games online instead of gambling? - page 11. (Read 5620 times)

Games aren't as fun if there isn't money on the line.  The adrenaline rush you get is much stronger when some level of risk is involved.  Look at the big name athletes like Michael Jordan, John Daly, and Pete Rose.  They should of been content winning at their respective sports but they needed to fuel their gambling habits by betting millions of dollars.

Well you can involve money on those so you can say that it still depends on what should be done with those things. When you make a guess on games and you put your money or other things on the line so you can have a reward when you win, that is gambling. Doesn't mean it don't include or involve money, that is not gambling, there are still a lot of things that is valuable to be used in gambling.

The method maybe different online games & gambling does share some characteristic like those gatcha box where its not common to hear player to spend hundred & hundred dollar , purchasing skin & weapons , purchasing game currency game gold during sale or normal period, buying limited event period loot box or character specific for that event

Example of gambling sites Vegas Casino
Offers fast, reliable, and anonymous deposits made via Bitcoins. They only accept Bitcoins, so no other currencies and/or payment methods are accepted.This site offers incredibly fast withdrawals. The only delay a player may face when withdrawing their winnings occurs if they happen to withdraw incredibly sizeable amounts of cash. When this happens, a short delay is to be expected, whilst the casino verifies the win

There is a bonus available at Vegas Casino. When a first deposit is made at the site, players can receive up to 1BTC in free cash, courtesy of a 100% match. There is even a bonus available on the second deposit a new player makes, to the tune of a 50% match and worth up to another 1BTC. All subsequent deposits at Vegas Casino.io are treated to 25% matches.

In conclusion both cost money and time . Just that online gambling might allow me to recover my investment and make a decent profit

Why not,because both can be same when it comes to gaming experience but the real difference is the money getting involved in gambling and you will lose money when you lose bets but in online games you will get so many lifes and you can restart the games.

I see that some people can control themselves in gambling especially if they cannot win the games and they can think to quit the gambling and leave the places. It is hard especially if you are getting lost much money which is not recommended to spend big money. We need to care about our money, and it is better to save that money for another thing. And once you become addicting in gambling, you cannot make money from gambling, and it's better to ask other people so you can quit gambling forever.

That is right, I don't even know why is these two being compared in this topic since online game will not be an alternative to gambling.

Gamblers will not just be changed that quickly to a gamer since being a gamer is not being done in a night, lot of years are needed in able to call yourself a gamer. And a gamer's life literally depends on games that he plays, without him playing games, I don't think he will be able to satisfy his needs with other things, that is my opinion though.

Yeah, it also really depends on a person who is playing it, being addicted to gambling is not good, but the gambling itself will not bad as long as the gamblers know how to control themselves from getting addicted. Playing online game can also be entertaining even without bet but most of the people still want to take a risk because I know people that are risk takers too and loves doing it even if they are already losing money.

There is a big difference with playing online games and gambling, in online games, as a gamer by myself, we only play to earn something in that specific game, probably RANKS or IN-GAME CURRENCY, and when in gambling, we play to win money, to earn and gain profit out of that specific casino game, its a big difference.

If someone having self control while gambling then they will not say gambling is so addictive and the people who don't have that will get addicted even when they lose huge money for it so people need to decide about their gambling and future life before they are entering here.And they need to remember that gambling is not for money making if they want to make money do some job.

Yes, to start feeling better after losing is unusual but it happens. Of course it's hard to imagine someone feeling better after losing everything, but if you were stressed by death of a loved one or divorce, or because of the stupid anxiety out of no reasons at all, losing $20 to an online game can help you to go back to normal. There are many various remedies from stress because each case is individual. For some it's Kava root and for others it's Valerian, for some it's a good TV show and for others it's gambling. Some people would feel better if they won, and others would feel better if they lost. And you can't replace that with playing online games as well as you can't replace Snoop Dogg with Justin Bieber.

So we can say that both play game online and playing gambling can make someone addicted. In gambling, we are risking our money and with the game online can make us lost our time because we are playing the game in a day. This two activities will not give a big effect on our lives if we can take control of ourselves so we know the time to stop and leave the activities. So it is better that we can learn about controlling ourselves before it's too late.

Playing game online now is so addictive which may bring to children have no time but only for their games.Almost their life is in there.Children now is so extravagant because of their games they dont want them to disturd even in a seconds.

Well, games, dices etc which does not involving money or betting is definitely not gamble and to be honest gambling online or physical even ones already losing money is not bad but the act of gambling out of budget is bad because the person already posed the sign of gambling addiction.

Different people have different opinion about it. To me I play gambling online and I do not consider it as waste of time. To me I consider it as entertainment. I think that It if you have a limit for your gambling then you can really enjoy playing gambling.

For me, it is not that exciting if the game does not have a bet, other people really like to takes risk after all even if they are already losing money. LOL. That is true, I know some people who love to bet even if he already knows that he is already out of budget or maybe he is just really addicted in gambling that is why he is not contented with online games only.

I don't get what you are saying. What are the money games? Games that adults can only afford? Games that is being paid? Games that is based on how much money the players has? That is confusing.

And why and how can you say that most children gamble free games? How did you say that? They are using free games to gamble? It is really confusing. If that is the real types of games, then the money based will be games that is usually being used of money like well, the obvious example of EA games, if you know what I mean. There are also games that is being paid at Steam so I guess that would count. Free games are always available in the internet and even players with a lot of money play them because it is not based on it is being paid or free, it depends on how you enjoy playing  that game but gamblers will never pick playing online games since their interest is not in the game but in the gambling or risking his money.

There are two types of games money based and free games, it depends upon the people who choose them games according to their interest. Most of the people will choose online gambling because people are very addictive to it. Most children used to gamble free games because they don't know how to gamble with money.

More the differences is you will have nothing from online games but from gambling our life can change in a minutes either in upward or the downward direction that is the reason why people were much interested on the gambling than online games.But when the eager changes to greed the gambling will be a life problem.

Why you choose gambling in cryptocurrency for making money? You can trade or hold your coins for long. You will make money. On other hand gambling is a way of losing money. Here you will earn money in trading and there you will lose it in gambling. You can do something better for making money instead of gambling. You should play games online. There is no problem in it.

I think in the online games, we can have fun too as we can play with many players from everywhere. We can meet new people while we played and perhaps, we are in the same group to defeat the other teams. Online games are perfect for people who don't want to use their money, and they are not expecting to make money from the game, and they are just enjoying the game. But in the gambling games, people want to reach something which is money, and they use their money to get more money, and they can get fun too.
