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?

Actually people,have a different purpose why they choose gambling rather than playing online games,because tuey want to earn at the same time he enjoyed.here in our country that belong in third world mostly the people playing an online games,you enjoy yourself but nothing in return,unlike in online gambling when you playing games and if you won,then you can earn money and the same time you enjoy and recreating yourself from distress.

The difference between online games and in the casino are the thrills and excitement that you feel, when playing in casino you can hear the crowd of your friends and others cheering and that's what brings the excitement while playing in an online games you couldn't get the thrill and excitements with the crowd.

No both are not same,the online games are like toy guns but the gambling are like real guns so both have different potential. Grin

But I am not agree that most of the players are gambling for the fun and time pass because most of the people are involving in gambling for making money in quick time so they are risking the real money to make more money but it is not possible with the online games.

I've stopped asking myself this when I gamble. I used to spend huge portions of my days playing roleplaying games (pen and paper, dice) in my teens, and then for a period in early twenties drowned my waking hours with boardgame-style games. They were fun, very fun. Good that I slept so little so I still spent enough time working but still a lot of years down the drain. But the risk that comes with gambling is something different entirely. I'm prone to lapses in judgment and self control but generally can keep myself from losing too much.

First of all, gambling is not the same as games especially online games. Gambling can earn money, though there are so many losses you get. But the game only produces fun and will spend your money. You can only earn money from games if you join the competition or become a youtuber. Or you sell various items in the game. And also, if you play the game you have to have a great special skill. But on the other hand gambling does not need any skill. Most gambling just needs luck. But what is certain of both is, gambling can not be used as main income. So basically the sensation of playing gambling and games online is totally different, of course.

If we are talking about earning money, there are online games that lets you earn money by simply selling the ingame currency or rare loots to other player. They are earned not won, unlike gambling where you won money. I am talking this kind of stuff because I am one of those players that sells ingame items in exchange of money.

That is a new trend people make their account worthy and then do bargain, but i think that it is something different from gambling, even if you are playing online gambling where you personally take place you bet for your own money, if you will will double the amount but also chance to lose your own betting amount. Gambling is risky in both sense either you play it in casino or will play online gambling.

One way people console themselves with when it comes to gambling is that it is fun and you should see it as a game.

Yes, in a way, you can use it to unwind when you feel you just want to be around some people who share the same view with you regarding gambling (talking about real life casinos), but in the literal sense of gambling online, it can be boring, so what is the fun in it ?

I have thought about this though several times, so let's face it, everyone gambling online is always busy looking for the extra money they are going to make from gambling which we all know it is something hard to get. So really, why not just play game, it is even more entertaining.

Playing game also can earn money because the higher level of your char , the more expensive your character will be.
Let's compare with gambling that you need to spend money for chance 50:50 in the end so it's different experience.
All you can do is just hope for the best

I have seen this at what my friends do. they increase their level and then they offer to the games forum and they also offer to other friends. I think this is more fun that we can do while we could still playing gambling although in gambling we only spend the money and it is difficult to make money from gambling.

Yes there are online games that can entertain us well and some of it can thrill you as if you are the player itself fighting in the opponent but I think its because gambling has different way to excite you. I mean when there is money involved its not like just you are entertaining yourself but also you have a chance to get incentives for doing your part as a player. We have different perspective on how we want ourselves to be entertain so maybe thats the reason.

As you say, it triggers you differently. When you gamble and there's money involved, if you win the same part of the brain gets triggered as when you do cocaine for example, hence why it's so damn addictive Cheesy

.

So yeah, can't agree with the OP on this one as they are completely different things, gambling and gaming..

It could give spice in the gameplay, I do agree in you it is really different if you play with a pure gaming and playing with a money involved(gambling) because the game is really intense to win the pot of gold . Though it is really addicted if you always win on the game but in the other side if you are looser then you dont want to play again that has a money involved. Thus there are a lot of perceptions of the people why do they tend to bet on games but mostly of it is it could give enjoyment and also money.

I think it's the exact opposite.. If you always lose in gambling you'll probably keep coming back to try and get back what you've lost on the past.. If you play a game though (League of Legends, dota, CS:GO etc.) and you continue losing you'll probably stop playing after a little while. I know I have haha.

We millenials who are really into social media, online gaming, or anything connected to the internet and computer would love to play the games online but we should admit that still it is more enjoying when you are having it in the actual life. I personally don’t stick to online gaming only, I still like to play and gamble on the real world and I think this feeling is the same with those who are not “Techy”. They would find playing gambling in reality is easier and funnier than online.

Well, it seems we are all have different mode of amusement others are like to play online games and others are not their fashion even if we are same born on this millennium and that is all because every one of us is an unique individual. Playing online games and playing gambling have both bring fun and entertainment to us but sometimes it gives stress if abuses, so its better to do it moderately.

When we have some companion whom we can dealt with, like playing dota with friends back in college, we play dota and whomever won gets the bet amount of the other team then online games will be more fun for there will be rewards, but when you just need some thrill then it may be on gambling, though I'm fond of PUBG for now so online games were all fine.

Good point!

Once I admitted that I gamble for fun, but not as an addicted gambler or as my main income source. But as for your point, the technical answer could be - I gamble for fun but somewhere in my mind works that I may win some money, maybe accidentally. So this may be the reason for not playing online games rather I played in gambling sites.

Though the statement above is "once upon a time", now I have retired from gambling. I don't play anymore for fun with my own money. Need some time to return back for fun again.

Not all people do have the same interest in life or the leisure that they do seek out.Online games might be interesting for some but not all people would really jumped in the same ship.There would be always a guy who do seek out more thrill in life which would involve money and this is where gambling would take in. They do feel the thrill and at the same time they do possible earn the money.

You really do have a point there bro. We all have different opinions about things and life in general. Most times, what I may like is not what someone else may like, so at the end of the day, we just have to find something that suits us.

I have heard before about a lot of people who really do not like playing games, but when we really want to think of it, gambling too is somewhat related except for the fact that a lot can be won in the process, which I feel is the impulse that drives people into gambling anyway. So, I really feel the OP's point, the idea of saying gambling is fun, most especially online gambling, is just a cover up to console ourselves.

Not only that which if people do choose up the things that they wanted then its really non of pur business if they would decide to play gambling games or online games. They do have the time, effort and money to be used on not ours which means no matter what would be our decisions in life as long it do comforts us then other peoples views or words doesnt really matter at all.

Income is never anything I associate with either, to be honest! I see both as entertainment, and like watching a movie or going out for a football match, I'm willing to pay for that entertainment. Professional gamers and gamblers would beg to differ too with you on two points. First, both earn from sponsorships, participation and of course the prizes. Some are paid just to appear and lend their reputations to the event, they get paid whether they win or lose. Second, the best and most consistent gamers and gamblers are distinguished by their skill. Poker faces aren't something everyone can just put on, for example.

Maybe because they found more fun playing in actual rather than in online. If you are playing in actual you can see what are people's reactions and emotions that's makes the players feel intense and challenging.

i think the reason are, aside from having money if you win it is more fun if you play with other gamers personaly...the thrill that you will experience while betting with other bettors
