Gambling is can be more motivated because of money. This is the difference between o
playing online games and gambling. ~

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?

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 also wondered why some people engage themselves in gambling instead of playing online games and I think the reason why is because of, some people may enjoy the fun of playing online games and other games as a pass time but some do not. Some people prefer to have fun and make money at the same time. This is the reason why some play games involving money and bets. The thrill and excitement every time they place bets especially if they win are nothing compared to those who play online games, that's what I think.

Agreed on you mate,that’s what I am doing now though I still gamble because the online game we are playing can place a bet against each other’s for example

DOTA
Mobile Legends
Rules of Survival

Those games are playing against others and we can bet while enjoying the game lol

In my opinion the reason of people try gamble instead of play online games are.

1. Different people are interested in different things.
2. All people are not experienced about online games.
3. We [people] are really very lazy Grin Grin and want to earn money without doing any work, And gamble is the solution  i think.

Both can be fun but for online games it is only fun at the beginning the longer you play you’ll feel tired and the thrill is also gone whereas if you gamble the thrill is always there every time you place bets and there’s always thrill when you play. Also you will feel challenge the longer you’ll play.

It's a double purposes, thrill and earning at the same time if won. In playing online games we might find satisfaction on completing the game or winning in it, but nonetheless we know that when there's more reward we can get we can feel more thrilled as aiming to challenged ourselves on playing it. Though it really depends on our characteristics whether the gambling games may it be dice or cards entertained you the way adventure/action games does.

I agree, in online games you will be satisfied if you finished the task but at the end you will think it would be better if you have profits while doing so. Yes, most people would say they wanted to gamble for fun but the truth is, its not purely fun alone they also wanted to earn money from it that’s why they gamble instead of playing online games. Also the thrill that you feel while playing online game and gambling is different.

I do play that too but that doesn't mean that we can't gamble. I also go play basketball in real life but end up playing basketball in computer games too. Just because you can do one thing doesn't mean you can't do the other they are not relevant. I play computer games all the time but sometimes not many good games come out and I can't find anything to play and that is why I end up gambling. For example right now I am thorn between buying the new Chinese total war game or gambling the same amount and I don't know which one would give me more fun.

I love, I mean LOVE Rome total wars and even medieval ones but I played last shogun and I didn't like it, Asian style of warfare doesn't really appeal to me and I want more gore and strategy instead of drama involved, Chinese make it more personal instead of just economics and power. So I may end up spending the same amount on gambling instead and may have more fun.

Because there’s a big difference about playing to win by fun and to win with profit lol

Look how many gamblers turns addicted?because of the Pot money in each game that they eager to get with intensity,while in gaming the only Pot you’ll have is the greatness from your opponent

So I guess this is the reason why more are interacting in gambling than just a online games

I think it's because in the gambling game is more challenge than the online games besides that, and there is money involve inside the games. That will be the most reason people playing gambling, but that is not happening in the gambling games too because I think some people will gamble while they play online game and sometimes, they used money too for the winner. I think in the competition of online games, the money will be given to the winner.

I stand with Ukraine.
It gets harder to get pleasure from something when people grew, i'm betting instead of playing games because playing online games are for kids. In America, American football and basketball are the options but here in Turkey we usually play football and basketball. People love their teams enough to be hooligans, so adult people find the excitement they're looking for in gambling.

That's right. People, especially young people who love playing video games, think that nothing can be a better entertainment for anyone than playing those games online. Yet, for some others, like you and for example, these games are of no interest. I wouldn't play them even if I was paid $3 per hour, while I can play in a poker tournament with $3 buy-in for 2 hours, lose it and still be happy. I think the scenarios that unfold during a poker tournament (or at the cash game table) are much more interesting than those you can encounter playing a video game.

Online games are more entertaining and fun playing. We get a lot more variety in online games as compare to gambling games. The only thing which makes gambling superior to online games is that with gambling games you can win real money while online games do not give you any money on winning.
I disagree.

Yes in gambling, you can win real money so in short you can get income or profit into it. In online games, you cannot win on it but you can earn money on it thru live streaming your game and post it in different social medias like Facebook and Youtube. This is the reason I prefer playing online games instead of gambling since I'm a gamer. I'd prefer spending my time playing games compare to gambling.

It's a matter of how much you are creative and turn your gaming into money making opportunity. Also if you are earning through live streaming games on youtube / facebook, there is no risk of losing in it and you will always earn money form it.
Gambling are for those who are not so skilled enough and they prefer to take risk in order to earn in gambling.

That's another way of getting profits while enjoying playing your games, you can also collect items that you can sell after, there's no limitations
if you are really aiming to earned decent from activities like this, with the help of social medias, you can prosper if you are really good playing
your favorite online games.

Well good for you but I do not think that playing games are for kids and not for grown up. If you think that playing games are for grown up then you are just like admitting that you are really that old and your complexes are weak.

I have known some old friends and until now they can play better than young ones. It is just a matter how you treat and think of yourself.

However, you have also the point that betting is better thab playing games but mind you that not all the times had betting been good for bettting is just like a season. This days betting might be good because of the NBA finals series and other football leauge but right after the finals then betting will not be that good and ine will going to wait for another finals series. So, playing games still be worth it when there is no betting available.

Yeh I also agree on it if people wants to entertain their selves then they can also do some online games instead of being addicted on gambling. It is much more funfor me and vvery interesting but I guess some people are much more preferred on gambling since they want more exciting and much challenging.

Online gambling is benefit to quit the addiction of gambling. Games are suit of every type of gamblers, but it is not giving us thrills and exciting to win money in games. However if we wanna save our money to loss then online games are better for us instead of gambling. Otherwise if we have a lot of money then gambling is much better than online games.

Online games can be good too as past time but it is only challenging at first since you jut started but the longer you play you will feel bored because the reward isn't real money, unlike if it's gambling you will feel challenged and it isn't boring.

But sometimes, if we played online games and we can break the next level, that will attract us to continue the game because we want to be the superior in the games online so we can show off to our friends. Although the reward is not money, we could feel satisfied, and that feeling cannot replace with the money.

We can play online games and gambling in our free time, and if we don't want to spend money, then online games will be the right games for you because you only want to feel excited to play the game. But if you want to test your luck, then the gambling online will be your choice so you can know how good your luck in online gambling.

It depends on someone whether he enjoys playing games or gambling. For me I do enjoy online games more, grind everyday making my character stronger, meet some people who enjoys that game too and exchange ideas how to be stronger. Unlike in gambling, I don't enjoy it because I think you'll get addicted to it in the long run. Mostly in gambling, the house edge controls your winnings and  you must spend money everytime you play then lose in the end without getting a benefit to it.

There are some game when you win you will be rewarded and that is the type of game op was referring to and not gaming for free. In some game you will need skills to play them successfully and if you win or compete with the system or players online and win you will get money and that make it to look like gambling or trading.

That depends on the person playing.

As you said, it is a good way to past time and they are not doing it seriously since it is just a way to pass their time so I don't think it will be boring for them also because there are a lot of other games they can play especially these days that games are so mainstream. You said it yourself, it is just a way to pass their time maybe after gambling they will play games so they will not be bored since their main reason is to pass time, have fun and not earn money.
