Please read some posts above to see that you can win big money, millions of USD in some cases, playing games online such as Dota , Fortnite, Counter-Strike etc. The main difference is that you have to be one in a million to start earning money playing these games, while in gambling anyone can win depending on luck. I'm not saying gambling is more suitable for making money, because I think that trying to make money with gambling is a bad idea overall, but statistically it is more likely to win $200 in gambling than earning that amount playing computer games like Fortnite. And regarding the fun component, it is a very controversial question, what, in fact, is more interesting to play, poker or Dota? For me it's the former, but I know there are people who prefer the latter.
I have heard alot about fortnite and watched some youtubers play it few years ago, never knew they pay some gamers. Guess one must be really talented in gaming in order to qualify for such rewards?
There were 78.3 million active Fortnite players in August 2018, according to Epic Games, and there are around 11 million people around the world, playing Fortnite simultaneously, according to GamesRadar. Only a few earn good money playing those games, so, I think it's comparable to winning a lottery jackpot, in other words, close to impossible. I bet there are many players with amazing skills who earn nothing, although they spend 12+ hours daily playing the game. Imo, if you make the same effort to make money in another area, you have much more chances to succeed. But it should be some real job, not gambling or gaming. Don't confuse work with entertainment. Make money with the former and spend it on the latter.
