Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?

I know some of my friends playing both online games and gambling game together, and yes, they are fun and enjoy the game. But they say that they cannot get something different from the online game than the gambling game. They want to know about the lucky so they play the gambling game and they can accept if somehow, they cannot win in the game, and they only get the loss.

It's different obviously. I mean, most of people playing online game because of fun and hobby, some of the games also not pay to win, so they can play it just for fun. On the other hand, gambling game is about money.

Yeah, I know it's different but they still playing online games and in other time, they still playing gambling too. I don't know what their reason but I think as long as they can enjoy their time, they will still do both. Maybe if they are bored with gambling because they cannot win the game, they will stop for a while and only play an online game to get fun and enjoy the game.

People gamble not just for entertainment because of the chance to win big money. It is entertaining because it gives you excitement even if you lose in the end.

I agree with you, gambling get people excited to earn some money at the end of the game, I think people like taking a risk due to gambling.

Actually playing games online also can make people excited, like some people compete on a tournament with a big prize.

Yes some of them play online just to pass the time and majorly other play for the money and this is where trouble starts for many of them. While those who are extrovert and like to make new friends and have a good enjoyment visit the casinos and prefer this rather than playing online in solo.

Video games can be fun but without having money on the line the excitement just isn't there. Most people gamble because of the adrenaline rush that comes with winning large amounts of money. But I guess you could combine both worlds and bet others on video games or bet on professional e-sport matches.

Well, most video games also provide quite an adrenaline rush, particularly if you are playing competitively.

I don't think the adrenaline rush is the major factor in this, I think the truth is most gamblers have the false belief in the background that they are going to get a lucky streak eventually and win big, truth is it rarely happens.

I agree, it's like playing poker, and without money, it's just plain 'ol playing card games, and that's just it. It can be a practice, but with money on the line, you would have more effort in thinking the strategy you are going to employ. The adrenaline comes rushing through the veins and feeling of the veins popping in your head, that's where the improvement comes from, where it's competitive plays.

I don't think losing, in the end, is enjoyable. It's just plain losing and nobody wants that in my opinion. Are you like that? I think people should just prepare with what you are going to gamble with, the amount you are comfortable losing, and just play. Losing still hurts no matter you accept it or not.

There are different definition of fun, others are happy doing just playing games and others are happy by having to bet something in return for their happiness. Yes playing online games is fun but it cannot satisfy a gamblers greed for happiness.

There is a huge difference between gambling and gaming. Gaming is just for passing time and gambling relates to money. Gamblers will never spend their time on gaming because they are gambling addictors. When they set in front of their laptop, they visit gambling sites because they have the greed of winning more and more money, but all in vain.

This generation has now a different perspective of what gaming is. You can relate gaming with money now, not only by integrating it with a casino but there's a career now for professional gamers if you don't know about it.

There are many reasons why people prefer gambling from gaming. For me it's mostly the time required for each of these. If I gamble I spend an hour doing it and can move to something else. Online gaming requires a lot more time as RPG games are divided into quests and many of them can't be stopped until you reach a safe point. There are boss fights for which you assemble a team and need to reach the destination and win the battle (I played some wow in my time Roll Eyes

) I wish I had as much free time as 10 years ago.

You can gamble even just for few minutes and you are not obliged to finish what you started. The same goes for RPG or any online game but the longer you stay there, you'll become stronger. While in gambling, its opposite the longer you stay the higher risk you have.

This also can be a time related issue why some preferred to gamble instead of gaming.

I just know one reason for gambling instead of gaming online and that is greed for more money. Everyone in this world needs money because the sources of income are less and demands are high. People want to use any short cup way to make money, that’s why they gamble. But they are wrong because nobody can make money in gambling rather lose his own.

We accept that fact and that's tempting to do if you ever know how to gamble. Having a glance on how much you can potentially earn with gambling will encourage you. That's me before but life changes so do mine.

There is an exception, few people make money in gambling and find riches.

It is good to play online games instead of gambling but the problem is that some people want to earn money in easy way and for that they always gamble but the results are always against their well. Online gambling is just a waste of time and money because I have never seen that till date I never heard that anybody won big money in online gambling.

Just by playing online games you won't be winning anything, unless you get some goodies to trade to someone else inside that specific game.

Nobody I know that gambles plays gambling games, as the truth is that there’s not as much excitement and thrill in gambling if there’s nothing to gain or lose from plying the game. The fun part of gambling comes from the risk and reward like wxa7115 said, and when that’s removed you just have very basic and simplistic games that truthfully aren’t very interesting.

I’ve actually won around 1 BTC total gambling online, though I’m slightly negative in winnings, so it definitely isn’t impossible to win. For me, it’s the same as gambling in a physical casino for te most part, and I also know others that have won big in gambling. Everyone’s experience is different, so I understand where you are coming from.

A lot of MMORPG actually have gambling elements involved, I think that it's not simply the thrill of victory that is the rationale behind gambling, but instead the thrill of potentially winning a life-changing amount of money, something which can't be done on online games through simple gambling.

I do not know if you have ever tried, but have you tried to play some of the games in a casino without real money? Because if you do you will realize that the games by themselves are not very fun, what adds the thrill and excitement is the possibility of earning and losing money, on the other hand video games are designed with the intention of being fun from the very beginning, so it is very obvious to me that the nature of the games are very different.

This explains why those that gamble are not satisfied by just playing video games, the concepts in which they are based are completely different so a person that gambles for fun is not going to necessarily like video games as a substitute.

Some online games are as well good as Casinos such as faucet games, if we are talking about crypto games.

I wonder why people start gambling when they feel dissatisfaction and loneliness. They can engage themselves in some good hobbies, like gardening, reading books, helping needy people. If he interacts with people he will forget his loneliness and depression will come out of his mind. But if starts gambling he will increase his dissatisfaction and loneliness.

You are forgetting something! We are in an age where people do not want to work and they are always busy looking for an easy way out. Why do you think even as people keep getting scammed, that has not stopped scam from increasing and people still being a victim the more.

Quick ways to make money and greed is what some people always bring into gambling, and once they have heard that someone has made some shit load of money from gambling, they just assume they could just end up getting rich overnight as well from gambling and then before they know it, they are knee deep and hard to get out from.

It would still depend. Others are just gambling so they have something to be addicted to and now that their money is draining because of that bad habit, they have to find a substitute which isn't as expensive as gambling. In online games, you can find a community. That way, you're going to have a sense of belonging while being hooked on something. Before, I used to like gaming, then I didn't, and now I do. It's all about finding what games are for you and what aren't. Just because a game is trendy, doesn't mean you're going to enjoy it as well. And sometimes a game might have few players but still be enjoyable for you.

As kids, we used to substitute punishment for reward. You get to punish your opponents when you win or your opponents get to punish you when you lose. It's still the same reward mechanism going on in your brain which makes gambling fun. Without it, you're pretty much just practicing for whatever game you're playing.

Why do people prefer to gamble to spend a lot of time rather than playing games? Because they gamble of course with the aim of winning and making lots of money. I think gambling is more fun than playing games. Grin

You are right; the aim of gambling is not fun rather they want to make money in an easy way. These people are living in the heaven of fools. They know that gambling is not a way of making money but a way of losing money. You will earn money with hardships and lose just in minutes in gambling. Sensible people never gamble because they know the consequences of gambling.

The mindset a lot of people always have towards gambling is for sure to make a lot of money from it, otherwise, we would not see someone say he is trying to use some strategy to rake in some good wins or some sort, and for real, it is normal as every human mind is fashioned to at least want to try to win in whatever they do, but the idea of not facing reality and just hopping into the gambling platform thinking it should bring in some good stories is what has made a lot of people to face the harsh nature of gambling.

Some might claim they do have fun, but if we really want to be realistic, fun is just what some people framed up to be able to curtail themselves from things getting out of hand.

Different kind of people p;ay different kind of games with different risk levels,the people who play the online games were young age related people or they have hardly have time to play games but the gambling is different story which gives adrenaline while playing which part maybe missing in the online where we don't have any loss or profits from losing or winning that game,it is just for time pass where the gambling is to test our luck.
