Its not because of entertainment why most people gamble, Its all about the money because if it wasn't, they would have played online gambling games without spending or winning any money just like OP said.

Money makes people more interested on a specific things so I think gamblers still choose to gambling because of this. Online games are the best in terms of self satisfaction but without earning money I think its hard for a gamblers to shift on that.

Correct, playing online games would take too long before you could know the results and there is a lot of cheaters on online games, unlike if you are going to gamble in the online casinos which is the result is more fast than playing online games and there is no cheater their since the opponent that you are against is the house.

You are totally right, I also noticed that now many online games are full of cancers they have cheated the games. In that way, we could not easily win the game, unlike gambling which is your opponent is true and you fell thrill and excitement when you are playing gambling and you know that while you earned money at the same time you entertained well at that time by the gambling.

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?

Simply because it's more exciting and fun when there's money involve while you're playing. It can actually add some thrill and chills to the players and their eagerness that will push them to win the game. Just imagine a card game without money involved, players are dull and bored because at the end of the game it's just normal but if you said that there's some money to win you'll see the joy in their faces because they knew that if they'll win there's a money that awaits them.

Online games are amazing and no risk at all but some people see this in a different way and some people even if they said that they gamble for fun they still want to earn some money which makes them more interested. We have our own ways to have fun just make sure you can affor to pay for its cost.

I agree, to some gambling offers a certain thrill and satisfaction that seems to only surface with real money at
stake. Winning or earning that money with gambling somehow boosts one's self esteem and skills, that stuff
is addictive and intoxicating. It's more of a personal choice really, I think playing online games is also fun, I've
done that and sometimes I'm good and bad at it, but It is really fun and you end up making friends online.
But you are spending money and so much time with online games, while gambling has a tendency of earning
money with the time spent. It depends on every person, it's purely a matter of personal opinion and choice.

Yes that is a best idea provided by you but the problem is that not much people know about these type of games websites. We can see that theer are many gambling websites which are continuously promoting their websites and people know about it so for the sake of fun they come to there and they gamble while the games sites have not much marketing so not much people know about these games websites.

Apart from that, of course the online game and gambling are very different characteristics in it, many people have a different hobbies, and it can be more focused on gambling than playing online games. In essence I think it's depends on each people, sometime some people judge an online game., it just for a kids.
For me personally, I like the both for a pleasure purposes., but I spend more time on playing online games like a mobile legends.

Totally different and even though I understand that the Op is trying to understand where the fun in losing money is, then we also have to understand that what works for Mr A, may not necessarily work for Mr B as we all have our own different preferences and the way we see things which makes me to have that notion that every single person tend to find fun in whatever they want to find fun in, but some just tend to overdo it.

I would like to ask you OP, did you already experience gambling for fun? Coz if not, you can't tell the difference between playing games without bet and playing it with few penny at stake.

It is a different kind of thrill you will feel, the way you play would be different too, you'll always do your best coz there would be no room for mistake when there is a bet.

What a good question you have there @diegz. It is possible that the OP doesn't know the feeling of having fun, getting excited and winning money at the same time. If people does want to have fun only, they will not likely play gambling that much and will just chose online games or any other activities. Since gambling give chances to have both, people will prefer gambling games over online games. We all are different people but one thing I am sure is that we all need money in order to survive in this world and lying around or sitting around while playing games won't give us that.

As you mentioned, we do have differences and that separate your minds to other's perceptions, playing online games to is also an addicting activities, though it can be much better as you just need to spend your time and a limited budget unlike in gambling when dealing with an addicted person, not only
time but also every single penny that they've got will be at risk being use when they already playing, this two venue have their own approach but the point is they've have different enjoyment factors.

People won't be clinging and playing gambling if they just want to have fun. It is the reality of life, money attracts people because we totally need it to survive in this world, expenses, daily needs and etc, we all need money for that. They can play online games but they will very much chose gambling over it because they can also get satisfaction from it and earn money from it. Maybe this way or method of earning is very wrong since what we need to do in order to have money is look for a real job which will pay us but some people take chances on playing because there is a chance of winning big amount of money without exerting too much effort and time.

Because people do have different kinds of interest in terms of finding a past time for fun. But you cannot simply put a comparison between this two activities for they are way different from each other. Gambling is a good way of having fun in a profitable way somehow but its limited depending on your luck, you can win you can lose, either with cash or btc. While playing online games isnt that profitable. Youre paying electric bills, ISP , and hardware maintenance without winning a chip.

Yes, we all have what makes us tick, what er enjoy and those things we derive pleasure in. Personally, I am not a big fan of gambling but I have friends that visit casinos and once in a while I go with them with some little cash I could have used to watch a movie, do some extra fun and that is how I see gambling as well, so if I blow that, fun has ended and game too is just something I cannot do without as it makes me relax from the whole day's job or make use of the weekend.

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.

Money is the real reason why people are keep on gambling instead of just playing online games which can also give pleasure to you. When you get addicted on gambling its really hard to stop it, and a lot of people wants to make money easily and they thought gambling is the answer for that which is wrong.

Yes money is the main reason gamblers keep gambling. If just looking for fun, you can get it by simply playing online games, no need while gambling money to gamble. But with a gamble, the fun can be found more exciting because there is more tension that feels when gambling, we play while worried about losing money.

True, and because of that we can blame other people if they would prefer to play gambling instead of playing online games or doing other things. People are practical today and they will want to do things where they could earn money, we can't ensure that they will do it through good and legal methods because there are people who wants to do things as easy and profitable as the same time. We all have our own minds and if one will choose a wrong way, he is the one liable for himself. Many people are getting addicted to gambling especially if they experienced winning big, who will not be attracted if you can earn big amount by just playing and using a short time, right?

Sometimes people are getting blinded with money and with that they are able to do things that we can't imagine.

Yep exactly. It is easy to get corrupted if you've tasted that sweet big win at any time. I've had a few times where I've won tens of thousands of $ but I've also had times where I've lost the same amount.. Guess which one I'd prefer? Cheesy

.

This is so true Tongue

. I also experienced this kind of stuff. It take me some time to fully recovered myself from being hooked to gambling. But at least I never loses that huge amount of money, though I can say, I also won that 10 of thousand of $ playing in gambling site. All we have to do is snap out of this feeling of being unbeatable and go back to reality that gambling might cause us our whole finance if left unchecked or mederated.

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.

besides he will think that to play games online don't have any challenge depends on playing gambling and he cannot feel the lucky person in the games when he only plays games online. but in the gambling games, besides he play the games, he can also have another experience to win the money and if he can win the games then he can take the money.

some other online games like esports do also have a pot money that you can win. There is also a gambling type of online games that you are required to bet first in order to start playing and if you win youll get the price bit if you loose you loose your bet. Overall i think both gambling and online gaming are quite the same but i think ill prefer the online games more over than gambling because i can actually unleash my skills and talent as gamer when i play video games.

People who play gambling have the hope of winning a lot of money with ease and no need to work hard. Sometimes their thinking is wrong, because gambling is a great strategy and good luck.
While online games are just as an entertainment game to relieve your stress, because some people consider gambling as a bright future tips but they are wrong.
