My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
I won't regard this as gambling because no money is staked. There is completely nothing to lose if the prediction goes wrong so I will just call it a luck trial. Gambling to me involves staking something with the hope that our predictions will give us access to more funds. But as long as nothing is staked and there is nothing to lose and little or no emotion will get involved it is just a way to try out how lucky you can be.

I will also refer it to another form of gambling which is risk free, it also involved little effort and time though a lucky winner will emerge from thousand of people who made prediction, I recall when a bottling company maker of Coke cola did a promo in my country where customers are expected to open the seal on the cover of the bottled Coke drinks whatever object displayed is what is won by the customer or consumer of course this is another form of gambling which is risk free because you only paid for the drink however if you are lucky you can win TV, these categories of gambling is less harmful and wouldn't result to any bankruptcy though with a very slim chances of winning. if you have not, check it out.

But for obvious reasons, some of the folks who are addicted to this kind on none betting game are higher than those who are actually addicted to real gambling where they have to stake an amount.
I believe what happens is that when there isn't money involved gamblers don't feel the excitement they use to have when betting for real money. When there is nothing to lose and nothing considerable to win the effects on your brain are different. The release of dopamine doesn't happen, your heart doesn't beat faster, you don't get chills. There aren't high expectations regards the outcome, because if winning or losing the bet it won't make any difference on your life. It's like people say: no pain, no gain, although in gambling I think we could say: no risk, no thrill.
You raise an interesting point about the role of money in gambling. It's true that the element of risk and the potential for financial gain or loss is a significant aspect of what makes gambling enticing to many people. The prospect of winning money can create a sense of excitement and motivation to continue playing. Some people may just have to have it.

If you can win money even without putting money at first then I think yes it can qualify as gambling
Depends on the game too
Poker as an example can be played to make money and won’t be qualified as gambling but as a skill game
On the other hand I wouldn’t be so sure to define something as gambling if you can’t lose money
Are you implying poker, with its strategic depth, isn't gambling? I see your angle, but remember, poker's basis is still chance. Skill or not, the cards dictate your fate!Depends on the game too

Regarding your 'no loss' argument, that's complex. Games with no upfront cost but possible winnings aren't all gambling, sure. But absence of loss doesn't disqualify it. Many free games hinge on luck and random codes - a twist on traditional gambling, right?
Just sharing my bit. Be vigilant in the gaming and betting landscape!

Life' charm lies in daily adventures. Betting on grades or football games - aren't these glimpses of the excitement found in luck games and possibly, cryptocurrency? Yet, paralleling crypto with gambling needs caution. Like gambling, crypto carries risks, but informed choices based on market trends set it apart from a coin flip. Does gambling solely hinge on lack of control, or should risk and randomness count? Sadly, today' kids are missing out on real-world interaction. Crypto, with its gamble, could bridge them back to understanding risk, gain, and real-world economics.
Even though both trading and gambling all involve money, it still remain crucial to note that without money both ventures will not be actualised and since without money both activities, it makes no sense to disconnect money in both.
Well for me it can't be considered as gambling because nothing is at stake if ever you lose, it's just a friendly bet, more on a challenge as you've said. I also tried this kind of challenge with my sister, instead of money we're betting on who's the one who will do the household chores through playing chess. Unfortunately I always lose because my sister is quite good in it, back on the days gadgets and having an internet are not yet popular. Anyway, it's been said many times here, when there's no money or valuable things are at stake, it's not gambling.
Yes because gambling has to do with bets and potential winning so anything outside that is no longer gambling, if you play simple and popular games with friends such as ludo, wots and draft games there all just traditional fun games and can not be categorized under gambling unless the players involved decide to stake money on the game that the only we can refer to it as gambling, so what makes gambling to be referred to as such is the staked amount that is out for the contest and possibly being won. But for obvious reasons, some of the folks who are addicted to this kind on none betting game are higher than those who are actually addicted to real gambling where they have to stake an amount.
Playing some games only to pass your time without wagering any money is much better than wagering money because you barely win in gambling and wasting money only with the hope of getting something extra isn't wise in my opinion and one shouldn't do it.

you don't need to invest money to play gambling, for example you can bet with your friend that on test X you will get a higher grade and that if you lose you will do everything your friend asks that is related to school activities and not put your life and physical integrity at risk, so this can be considered a gambling, and you and your friend did not put money to bet, so what is a gambling? in my opinion gambling is any game where the player has no control over the end result, I remember that when I was a kid I made a lot of bets with my friends
and we didn't have money to put on these bets, for example we organized soccer game tournaments and each team put food in the pot, for example bread, juice, fruit and other things and the winner got all the food, that was a gambling, but we didn't put money in because we were kids and we didn't have any money, we also played cards and bet with food, for example we bet on a piece of cake and the winner got all the pieces of cake, those were good times we had, unfortunately in today's world children are left with electronic devices and do not care about interaction in the real world

If there's nothing on the line then it's not gambling.
Sure mate, what make is a gamble is when there is a stake on the line, this is what most people done to understand and they think that just getting involved in games is all gambling and that is not true because there is nogamblingsf nothing to lose, quite alright we can spend our time in playing game like ludo cheese and I'm the rest but we can't gamble with time, we only gamble by staking money so without money there is indeed no gambling.

Our money used in gambling also serves as an indication to how serious and determined we are in betting, what would have been used for gambling if betting is not involved, as then there's nothing to gamble about, we can also give some attempts in trying to play around on the casinos or engage on some sort of free gambling attempts through the bonuses we received but yet we still work to earn those opportunities to be given bonus because you can't just spend nothing and expect gambling to take place, it must cost you to show how determined and committed you're.
Moreover, all the games that can be called as games just for fun seem to me to be some kind of childish fun. Of course, they can be fun and interesting, but they still do not hurt our feelings and our passion for gambling.
You can't really call it gambling unless there's money or other assets involved. It's just mere playing and having fun if you were to play without involving anything to stake.if you have nothing to win and nothing to lose, then it's not gambling. Since gambling involves taking risks, winning, and/or losing.
To those gamblers who like to try the games by playing practice game of a casino game is a smart one for me and commendable because knowing the nature of the game, the possible risks, and how to strategize can give you a great edge in gambling. If that's what you are pertaining to, then it's not called gambling rather a practice game or merely passing time and relaxing without the need to think about connecting it with money matters. There are still people who do this out of curiousity, testing the waters, and entertainment.
We have the same mindset mate as long as there's no money or any payment methods like betting of things involved then I can't call it as a gambling because gambling involve money and condition. But there are many people around the globe that they called gambling even though they don't use money and condition. Anyways that's not matter as long as we are happy on what we are doing.
could really be able to call it. Sites that offering some deals without needing to risks up money is something that connects out on promotions on which it would really be just that right
that you would really be that get interested on dealing up on a certain platform who do offer out such promotion which you might be consider on sticking into them on playing.
Pretty sure I've commented on this before but gambling and money are not necessarily a hand in hand marriage. For example, we can bet on an outcome and instead of money, maybe we bet our time on a chore or some other favor. Going farther, you can even ask what is money? Is gambling Bitcoin gambling money? Is gambling gold gambling money? I think that in itself is enough to consider this question as answered. Yes, you can gamble anything, not just money. You can even gamble things that aren't physical, like time and effort.
