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?

Of course people don't gamble just to have fun and pass some time. Or maybe they actually do it, but it all depends on what makes them tick. With that I mean, that maybe some people like to feel the excitement of risking something, and that's why they gamble. Since risking money is their way of having fun and passing time. Also, that doesn't mean that they don't both things. Playing normal online games, and playing some casino games, or poker, or doing some sports betting. I know I do all those, so one thing does not stop someone from doing the other.

Exactly!!! The risk involved in gambling gives excitement and thrill. Think of winning something big on casino? Many people find it interesting rather than playing normal online games. There is no point in asking why don't they play games instead of gambling. People got different tastes.

Why so many people have an urge to talk about gambling, to criticize and judge gamblers, and they don`t even gamble? Why people have an urge to mess in other people`s lives, is it cause you don`t have your own?
Who made all of you competent to tell other what to do, and what is better to do? When I saw that op got merits for opening this kind of topic I wanted to throw up.
You are just paid for that, and you don`t have anything else smart to say so you judge others, that is very nice. You people don`t have your own life, so you are messing in others people lives, and you have some extra earning from that, it must be like heaven for you people.
Sometimes I can`t believe what people wrote on this forum, and they are paid for that, I really can`t believe.

Maybe because as you can see the mindset of people is that when they heard games its automatically entertainment for children and teenagers while in gambling will be automatically for matured person. Both of them can be profitable however, there's a less chance of winning in gambling compared to games. Even me, I would rather choose online games over gambling because you could earn in gaming through tournament.

Online games and gambling both are very attractive. once you addict any online game you will not leave that game until you finish all levels. But gambling is different you will stop your game when your pocket empty. and fun wise also you can't match both are same. this is my feeling.

When in terms of enjoyment that it gives then both things are capable on giving such pleasure but we do know the thrill between two things specially when there is already some involvement of money.When we do gamble we do expect we can win some profits if we are lucky enough which most people do really seek about this is why they do prefer gambling compared on online games due for that kind of reason.

Both gambling as well as online gaming can give you joy to some extent but the joy in online games would be much more than the joy in gambling and the reason behind this fact is that when you are playing gambling, as you said on your comment, there is an enrollment of money and people play it by making their mind more attentive than playing other games which puts a lot of stress on their minds.

I don't think that it has to be that one is better than the other or that one is more prefered than the other. I think most people that do play a lot of games also stumble upon some gambling every now and then, IMO it fills two seperate needs. I can feel like gambling and not at all like I want to game and the other way around, depends on my mood and what I feel like I want to do at that point.

Many gamblers will shy playing in offline, now it is very easy for those people who are gambling in online because there is no need of bothering about winning or losing. I hope for me online gambling is the best option to sit in my own home and playing gambling without any shy feeling.

Hmm, so how your post related to this discussion? Are you misunderstanding the main discussion here? As I know it is not about offline vs online but it is about playing online games (no money involved) vs gambling.
I guess you are wrong to say about many gamblers shy to gamble offline, probably it applies to those who are not in area where gambling is legal. For those who live in are where gambling is legal then they do not need to be shy, proven by many gamblers shares their experience on youtube without closing their face.

everyone has their own taste to find how they have fun, it is better to play online games than gambling. but we can not interfere with the affairs of those who like to gamble, but there are also people who play online games make the game as a bet. so I think online gaming and gambling depends on the person who plays it.

anything that involves money could be consider as gambling. online games and gambling is merely similar to each other because of such things like, you need to take a lot of time just to master the game same with gambling, you need also to put some profit for you to start playing in gambling, same with online games you need to buy some cards just to level up your account for a short time, gambling can earn money as much as you can, while online games could also earn money buy selling your high profile character, so i think online games and gambling is very similar to each other.

But mostly online games, people download and play it without money and only for freehand fun, while in gambling people should play with money in game and it is luck he win or not. It is a main different between games and gambling. But still you are right, little bit similarity between play online games and gambling.

I have been playing games in free to play mode, it is actually like playing a casino games in a free chip or playmoney mode. If you study the structure of the game, you kill monster, it drops an item. Killing monster is equal to bet and item drop is like the result of the bet. If you want to double the outcome you need to top up and still, the probability of dropping a rare item to make your character stronger is way too hard. Just like what most of the people here thinking about hitting the jackpot in a gambling game. So whether we like it or not, we spend money on both online game and gambling games.

People who have a real-life character by interacting with people, for example, a person who is accustomed to gambling himself encourages gambling, finds many benefits and enjoys part of his life for fun without thinking of bad risks, I also realize that it is very normal for me, rather than just silently staring at the screen and playing online games, I'm sure it's so boring to spend their time just to sit and be quiet? I do not think it will do that, in fact there are many things that can be done out there, things are more positive.

That is not what OP or the thread is contemplating. The part where they are talking about just playing games does not involve putting money on the table or placing bets. The thing is they are imagining a situation like comparing playing PUBG than gambling on poker. Something like that. Indeed even online/computer games are usually gambled on, but that is a different aspect of the game.

The difference is obvious and yes you are right. These comments are taking the actual crunch of topic away. Actually this is quite better for a person to play games rather gambling and losing money. This was the real objective of that comment. And this is right too. Definitely when a person is playing video game, he is enjoying and don’t losing anything as well. So go for this option against gambling.

They were right not everyone has the same interest when playing and that's how people are unique in each of everyone. And this is your opinion that most of them could take it and most could argue you a little bit more. People are so unexpected and not that really contented to everything if they know they could be more than what they are, they fly to that wall and jump in to another wall.

most people gamble to earn money, yes there are some for fun, but please be aware to have fun in the gamble is very different from playing games

When gambling becomes someone's main hobby, of course he would not like to play other games that has no element of gambling directly and vice versa. Beside that, gambling gives a chance to get fast money that won't available at games online.

I've had online games as my main hobby as well as having gambling as my main hobby. Can't say I prefer either one over the other but gaming always brings me back considering I love it so damn much. Gambling has almost always been about money and sometimes you just get real sick about it if you are on a losing streak or whatever.

I do not like online games much as they require very good internet connection which I most of the time do not have. Here, even after making huge monthly payment, you get internet with daily limits and it can get consumed in playing heavy multiplayer online games. In case of gambling, the websites are light and do not consume that much internet.

I agree. They should play online games instead of gambling and losing money in the process. They can just buy things on the MMORPG that can make them top players. Gamblers always want to spend, so I would recommend this as long as they stopped gambling. MMORPG's have its way of giving back when you are a top player, you can sell your loot on other players and earn the money you spent on the game.

Your statement is correct, that gambles for fun is just a cliche. Because actually they're addicted to gambling. They had not thought about how much money they had thrown away in casino. Online games are better, because we can build communities with other players.

They don't play for fun then it's simple everyone is gambling just to make some profit it's because of no fun or any other weird reason
I actually like addicted gamblers they surely gamble whenever they get a chance and they lose which generates more profit for me as I have invested on most of the gambling sites

It's actually fun to play and earn some at the same time. Most gamblers use that kind of excuse just to assure their selves that they are not actually addicted to gambling, but the truth is they are. Some gamblers start very slow, and end up addicted on gambling to the extent that they borrow money from friends and even sell their own property.
