Paid to gamble

[mexicantarget]

If you're getting free coins from a faucet, and that site has a casino, which DOESN'T allow you to deposit ANY funds, is it considered as gambling if you use/play any of those games?

Been trying to figure out this thing for a week, but there's so much contradiction for both answers, so I am not sure how to pick "the right" answer, if there is one.

You sounded like you are talking about faucet game. It is not gambling if no one can play with their own coins. Faucet game ain't considered gambling, IMO.
Because you are just wasting a lot of time to win dusts from faucet game.

Well, it's a faucet, yes, but it also has an option where it lets you use its slot machine where you can get money by "Spinning".

I looked up for the definition of "gambling", and there's a lot of different definitions, lol

what so every its a waste of time in playing in that site , with penny, when you know that you can earn more with signature campaign, and getting information. its just a time pass game,

I agree. Stay away from this site. It's made by the devil himself.

Just have a look at BigMat's commetnts. They are not devil, just clever to make the faucet be special with others.

It's just a faucet, that's all. People have the option not to use the slot game from the front page.

It's just a way to be different from other faucets, which lack of stuff and have a lot of ads placed on their pages.

I would say it is gambling as you are using your coins which you received from the faucet so the coins are really yours and you are risking them.

No its not considered gambling because you are not risking your money. Just because you are wasting your time doesn't make it a gamble. That would make playing video games a gamble also.

No its not considered gambling because you are not risking your money. Just because you are wasting your time doesn't make it a gamble. That would make playing video games a gamble also.

That's my exact theory! Everything would be gambling in that case.

[WhatTheGox]

If there's no risk, it doesn't seem like gambling to me. Just another game.

The risk is you waste your time and life is finite.  You either waste time because you dont make any profit or you waste time because you could have found more entertainment elsewhere.

You're not risking to lose your life though, lol.

I wouldn't call a faucet deposit paying to gamble.
You are doing something to get through the faucet
But you're not actually spending anything to gamble

It is gambling of course.Think of it like you go to work daily and spend/invest your time at your job and get the money but because you are an addicted gambler you lose all that money and is the same for the faucet's.It's just that you don't have any requirement to work on faucet's.

[PYramid Head]

Yes, of course. You earned them by working.

One could ask: if I gamble the coins I get by a casino signature campaign that makes deposit in their site, will I still be gambling? I think no one would deny that it is gambling

Yeah, but what when the site is rigged and favors the user? lol.
You're risking 0%. Because it's made that way so the users make money, instead of lose.

With the only difference, casinos rig their games to favor them. Not the players/users.

In this case, my site is rigged to favor the users/players, not the site

If I get paid more money that I lose to gamble I sure will do that.
Paid to gamble I think that would be a dream job for me.

If is only faucets I don't think I will do it is just waste of my time.

[shanem]

It will be more likely a no risk gambling than a paid to gamble. All this no risk gambling from faucets are a waste of time as you need to wait for some time before you can claim from the faucet again. You also need incredible luck to multiply your satoshi many times to have a chance to withdraw.

That's the exact reason I added this slot machine. So people play a bit and spend their time nicely, instead of staring on a "please wait to claim again in X minutes" cold button.

While you wait, you play and time passes nicely

Just replied above ;p

I've had people withdraw funds many times already. Someone  withdrew 15k like 30 minutes ago.

It doesn't makes sense ,why would anyone invest his money,time and hardwork to make a site & let the users gamble without any losses and take away his money ?
However ,if you re not losing it then it is not gambling as there is no more risk involved, definite like your job.

Ad revenue, which is x100 of what I give.

Interesting. I thought most people have adblock or some ad-blocking script on their browsers nowadays. As I see, I can still try your site without disabling my adblock, and I am TBH surprised that people would really disable it voluntarily. Not a big fan of faucet, but I wish you good luck with your slot site faucet.

[Slark]

As far as I can tell you can  withdraw this faucet's money without actually need of gambling anything. It is not like you HAVE to roll the dice 10 times or to be able to withdrawn funds.
If that is the situation than you are not 'paid to gamble' at all. Instead opportunity of multiplying your faucet money by gambling is present. That's all.

[sishendaoye]

I think that in a way, you are gambling because you are rolling right. You just didn't spend any to roll the dice. So you are inf act gambling, just not with your own money that you have deposited.
