My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
I think everything that comes from betting is gambling. with money or free when applying or placing a bet it's the same. you place hope on your luck.
even sweepstakes conducted by large companies for their customers can also be seen as gambling. like two people watching a football match on television. they bet on the team to score the first goal, or the team to commit the first offense. and whoever loses will be hit on the head. it's a gamble even if not with money.

Gambling does not require money in playing actually this is a form of entertainment for all the people who would like to play before there's no money just a form of items they are using for trading or making a bet or sometimes nothing just casual rules that do they bet, like casual conversation, just making gambling of the team or players you would like to win. If you play you win if not its part of the game, people makes the gambling too much serious and become part of the business industry.

Maybe when gambling started when money was not fashionable, what they used to match were coppers, silver, gold, or things that were important to them in exchange for what they won.

This is probably what you mean, am I right? Though, I really believe that there are other gamblers who do it just as a hobby and nothing else.

They did not expect that from a game that doesn't get any rewards but turns into a game that finally gets rewards. This will make people addicted and eventually, they will realize that it is a simple game that makes them addicted to gambling.
There are some games that are not in the gambling category, but they are addicted to playing until they bet something for adrenaline games so that one player must win the game to get a reward, any type of bet is not just money then everything is included in gambling. Even here there is a thread discussing ludo games to add to gambling, even though the majority are not interested in the game for gambling but there are types of gamblers who bet on physical ludo games because there is a different impression when they play ludo for gambling.
But when people decide to spend money on games that don't fall under the gambling category, the game becomes gambling. It has happened many times and maybe this keeps many people gambling with trivial things they never imagined. And interestingly, people can gamble using anything that might be used as a bet. And if they win, they get the money or agree to turn the prize into something. That's also fine and already included in the gamble.

According to me if anything that will have value and bet instead of money then it is consider as a gambling. Not only money is used for gambling nowadays, gambling can also be done with various valuable things. Moreover, even if you earn free money and gamble with that money, it is also gambling. In this regard you may have been earning money for free but it was later treated as your money. If you don't think it as your money, you might not think of it as gambling. But I would totally compare it to gambling.

Yes, if you're risky, anything to get more is gambling, but in the case of the OP, it isn't.
I recently opened an account there; I haven't done it myself, but if I understand Op correctly, which I believe I did, you're not risking anything at all, therefore it should not be considered gambling.

I can confidently describe a site where you're requested to put something other than money (sorry, but I can't think of any non-monetary object that can be used to bet at the moment) as gambling, but I don't think superpicks.com counts as gambling in this contest.

As others have stated, the only thing this can lead to is you becoming addicted to it, and eventually you'll start using real money, and that's when they'll start making money off of you, and because it's free, it'll be easier to become addicted to it, whereas when you're using your money, you have to be cautious of how much you've spent.

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
If you get money it is gambling i think. Even if you don`t spend your money. But when you don`t risk your money, you feel other emotions. Without risk it is to easy to bet but the same time it is dull enough, when you lose nothing. I make sometimes such predictions for free - it really dull without risk and it doesn`t matter shall i get money for it or not.

When you get used to gambling everything is exciting when it involves to betting because you wont get challenged when there are no betting takes place. Even just watching a fight like boxing it is not that exciting like without you betting on the fighter. I think this is the reason why people got addicted to it meaning they wont enjoy a game without gambling

I have seen that there are many players who bet in this way, even they are not boxing nymphs,they only bet because the fight is relevant and they have ways to win,we who like fights and sports see this in another way,from the way of betting because we like it, because we know the abilities of many boxers, some of us practice the sport and we know Something,and that is much more information that helps us when making a good bet and yet sometimes we still lose bets,so Gamblers who are just gambling must feel empty in some way.

I'd say that this still qualifies as gambling. You may not be staking money in the process but you're still playing with your chances anyway. That is considered gambling even if nothing is at stake. You still poured your time and effort researching who's going to be the top scorers and all those stats. There is also the possibility of a win, so if that's not gambling to you then I don't know what it.

Free bets are also considered gambling. You didn't stake anything in this instance, so what differentiates it from free bets?
As long as you take some chances or risk, even if there’s no real money involved, I think that still falls for gambling. Gambling anyway is dealing on what is uncertain having yourself tied on it without gaining an assurance if you will succeed or not. Just like free bets from gambling casinos, there is no stake involved, but it’s a matter of marketing strategy so that once you win, you will be attached to it and you start betting with real money involved.

That is my position as well. The money is not what makes gambling what it is but rather the uncertainty and the thrill that comes with it.
If gambling was only about the money at stake then random and casino-like games would be still available for children to play, one example of this is the franchise of Pokemon. In the first games, children had the chance to play slots for coins, which did not have any value and yet, those features were removed because was considered to be influential in a negative way on the mind of the children who liked pokemon.

I'd say yes, gambling isn't determined by how much money you bet or stake but the conscious act of it is.
Afterall, you're getting a reward for the time spent, free bets are gambling too.
It is true that gambling is everywhere it is just that people do not realize what they are doing, one example of this are the adrenaline junkies which do all kind of dangerous things in order to feel that emotional rush, in a way those people are gambling away their health or even their life in order to get those emotions they crave for, and while a great deal of them are able to win their bet because they can get what they want without paying the price, there are many others that fail and they have to pay the highest price because of the risky bet they made.
We are really that unconsciously been dealing up with gambling things on which we do make out some decisions which we do see that it could really be making out some positive or negative into us.We arent that

dumb on not to be wary on whats the decisions that we should or must do in order to have that good result.We might not really be talking literally about gambling but we are indeed facing up these things on day to
day basis which is something that we really must be able to deal with it. We cant really just simply ignore it out and speaking about playing on something which doesnt require out some funds then
i dont really see any risks or bad things that could happen which it would really be just that right that it isnt really considered to be gambling at all.

This isnt something that you would really be needing to risk on something and thats why people would be loving on taking on which they do know that they cant
lose something.

Something most be at risk for it to be gambling even though you don't get anything in return, gambling simply means using what you have to get more of it in many fold depending on how many people involve but note it is trailed with uncertainty, this is to say that gamble without risking anything is not gamble but rather joke.
And the longer you play it, it will be a challenge for you so you will use money to make it more interesting. And when you have used money, it will make you even crazier to use more money because there is a temptation to win it.

They did not expect that from a game that doesn't get any rewards but turns into a game that finally gets rewards. This will make people addicted and eventually, they will realize that it is a simple game that makes them addicted to gambling.

Gambling is not just about staking money. You are also staking intelligence and time. It takes someone smart to make quality predictions and with a bit of luck, those predictions can become reality.

Superpicks is actually a marketing scheme cooked up by BetKing. They believe the reason why some people do not bet is because they don't want to put in their own money. So they thought about giving people the chance to make predictions without placing their money. Afterwards, they advertise the real betting platform and the conversion rate has been massive

OP, it still remains gambling as far as you are making predictions with the intent to win something.

Self experience is the best thing i know. But when you pay for this experience - it costs much more if you get it for free. When you don`t ready to pay for experience - it costs nothing. I agree that you have to bet the part of money that you`re ready to lose, but anyway - you have to risk money if you want to get positive feedback from your predictions.
when you're diving into the betting and prediction game, experience is the MVP. Whether you're grinding through those trials and tribulations or dishing out cash for pro guidance, the goal is to evolve and flourish.

This ride ain't free. Be it a book's price or a coach's fee, you can't dodge the fact that stacking up knowledge and expertise means spending some green. Then again, there's that burning question: is it worth the expense for experience?

Some might spit bars about how your own journey is the illest teacher, thinking there's no need to break the bank for wisdom when you can just wing it. On the flip side, others could argue that putting those dollars in yourself and your education is priceless, even if it means parting with some Benjamins.
Of course it is so. In our life we always pay something for some result. The price can be money or time, for example. But when someone makes a prediction i need to see that he believes in it and ready to bet his own money on his prediction. And i think that if i don`t bet my money on prediction i made - i can`t recommend to someone this prediction.

We have the word "risk" anything you do is also a risk but there's also a reward so gambling is a risk reward. You can gamble without money, you will think a way to get money, that's a gambling because you don't predict whether it's risky or not. You can gamble without money by playing free gambling but that's a low chance to win because like what you said "without money"
But later, we will use money because we have experienced a phase where gambling without money may be less fun. After all, there is no challenge in the game. And when we've used the money, we move into the real gambling phase.

But we must know the risks of gambling so even if it is gambling without money, we must also be careful. Because even though gambling is without money, there will be risks, namely addiction to predicting every match that will take place.

And if later, gambling ends up using money, you also have to keep limiting your game so you don't experience loss.

Do you mean it's still under experiment so that's what they're doing, I haven't tried to signup on the platform either. But if that's the case and they only accept local people from Nigeria right now, it's going to be a little difficult.
Then for me, gambling can only be considered real if you use money that is equal to it. But if there is no money at stake, it can still be said that it is gambling, that's why it's fake gambling.

You can gamble without money by playing free gambling but that's a low chance to win because like what you said "without money"

You can really gamble without money, as there are a lot of casinos or platforms that offer faucets to play on their casino, but what the OP meant was that without it and without money, how would you gamble? Can you bet? or, let's say, in a physical one, mostly now its play-offs in the NBA, someone will bet on some team, but without any "risk" or money, is it called gambling? There is nothing on the line, so it wouldn't be called gambling unless there were risks involved.
And this is where some people do really hang on themselves on playing on using faucets and hoping that they would really be that able to make some withdrawal. Yes, there are people who do able to pull through but

considering on how small faucet amount is, then it isnt really that something that you could really expect for and we know that its main usage or purpose is to test out the site and not to milk out the site.
I could consider out as a risk free gambling since it was totally free and you dont lose something in the process.Same goes into the situation on which OP had been indicating on where
a certain site offers free bets but having the chance on winning something.

Yes, its cant be called gambling literally but the process on doing so is really called gambling game.So its a matter of choice on what you do really want to do.

You are right that betting is not only done with money but it is possible to bet with daily necessities. But you can consider sports betting online especially when the IPL, BPL, FIFA games of cricket start, betting can be seen on every over or every ball. This includes betting on online games. Although online sports betting has just started in our country, online sports betting activity is seen in other countries. Gambling often depends on the luck of gamblers.
I think we can better with anything even though it does not involves money. Money is nothing to gambling and is not the ultimate for us to gamble. We might choose to gamble with our house, cars even wife of the both parties decided to without having any issues. Gambling is more than money and we need to understand this in our own language.

In my opinion without your own responsibility you can`t learn to predict. You can train, but the price of such predictions is zero. I think that until you don`t ready to risk your money - you can`t advice someone to risk.
Yes, i lost my money with free spins, and i`m sure that it is the main purpose of such bonuses - make the gambler spend his own money to get the profit from the free spins.

There is no better teacher than self experience. You can not teach someone without you knowing that thing through experience. If you must predict, you must have experience in predicting game or otherwise, so as to be able to predict for others. So therefore, you must have spent your resources to learning how to predict which means it is not free.

When betting, it is advised to use spare cash you can afford to loose same advise is applicable herein on this platform.  So if you loose funds in the course of betting it would not bother you much because of the fact that the funds are spare Cash and nothing to worry about.
That's why it is always advised to gamble responsibly.
Self experience is the best thing i know. But when you pay for this experience - it costs much more if you get it for free. When you don`t ready to pay for experience - it costs nothing. I agree that you have to bet the part of money that you`re ready to lose, but anyway - you have to risk money if you want to get positive feedback from your predictions.

Placing a bet can be free or paid, depending on the site; betting without money is a type of gambling, while betting with real money is an active type of gambling which most gamblers anticipated. I enjoyed betting on English Premier League soccer games because I am familiar with the game's style and the dominance of the clubs. Football betting is more simpler and easy to predict than cricket, IPL, and BPL betting. Our top goals should be to implement tactics that will help us win bets. Betting is a daily goal for gamblers, who place bets on major sports with favorable odds.

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
I checked the site, took the initiative to sign up but it only seems to accept local Nigerian mobile numbers. Meanwhile, I concluded that this site is a kind of survey to find out how favorite the guess is for a certain club in a match.
Answering the question (without testing), it's not gambling because there is no risk whatsoever. But it can be said to be the perfect marketing trick to get someone to bet real money. Glance I found one of the affiliated links to a casino.
