Why not play games online instead of gambling?

[Omikifuse]

There are gaming competitions that give money, but they are not as accessible as the gambling competitions here. It is for fun ofc, but for money and rewards too

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 agree with you. As a gamer (but not a pro gamer), its better if you put your time in just playing online games like ML or LOL or Dota 2 instead of gambling since both of them are just for fun and entertainment purposes. The only difference is you will not spend too much in playing online game, just your time.

I think because it is already their vices and it is their alibi for them not consider as a addicted gambler. Many gamblers will always refuse that they used gambling to earn money because it is really wrong, so they always say that its for fun and entertainment.

Problem is that people cheat in games, even when its not for money.     Even if its perfectly even, not even game has a straight competitive edge to it or it might take alot of time to organise and be ready for.     Some games even require alot of time and practise to maintain that skill set and all for no reward.     
I think people should do a bit of both but I dont think either eclipses the other as they meet different needs.   Gambling is more relaxing for many people I think, just a bit of fun not everyone on the edge doing it necessarily but its also possible online games can be very involving and good value for money for many hours of play

Another thing is that people who like to meet new people, be with people and make friends how will they like online gambling where you cannot see anybody else other than your computer. So it is beneficial for such people to go in casinos and gamble and enjoy the environment.

I think its an combination of fun, pass time and the possibility to win Big!
I would rather spend 0,05 BTC  for some fast action on Betting or Slots than 0,05 BTC paying for games that for sure will take much more of my time and its comes with a 100% "loose all my money" guarantee on it.

But..i understand you, and its very important that if people want to try to gamble with their money, they should never ever spend more money than they can afford to loose.

I don't like online games, i like gambling be it online or not. Gambling for me is not for fun, i gamble for a chance to multiply my money on hand.

But for someone who wants to not lose money from gambling? Just because you are a gambler, doesn't mean that you can only interact with people that are gamblers as well. At the end of the day, we are humans and we are made able to interact and connect with everyone regardless of who we are and who are they. Better go to a bar where you can have a good time and get to know new people than be in a casino, lose your money, and feel bad about yourself. In bars, there are live bands, and stand up comedians so even if you don't get to talk to people, you're still guaranteed to have a good time.

It's beneficial for people to go to casinos but it's not a necessity and we can prove it by thinking of the fact that most people don't go to casinos but still are able to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

I agree with you. As a gamer (but not a pro gamer), its better if you put your time in just playing online games like ML or LOL or Dota 2 instead of gambling since both of them are just for fun and entertainment purposes. The only difference is you will not spend too much in playing online game, just your time.

I think it will be different from playing games like usual. because gambling has something special where your adrenaline will be stimulated when playing in it, when you win you will feel a very happy feeling and that feeling of pleasure will be different from just playing games like dota or ML

I think it is because the excitement of having a chance to win huge amount of money by gambling in the casino is much more attractive to people rather than online gaming, there would always be some people who just enjoy the thrills of betting huge amount of money in the casino as they could become rich overnight if they are on a lucky streak that day, but I think whether it is gambling or playing games online, it still serves the purpose of entertaining folks who wants to relax their mind after a hard day work.

Well, we have our own decision to that if somebody want to play online game then let him be if sombody whats to gamble then go for it as long he is enjoying that thing.

Also you bet your money on gambling, not like online games that you don't need money to play online games. Actually you can do gambling too on online games like dota and LoL.

People have their own preferences though. You can'y tell someone who enjoys the simplicity of baccarrat to just play dota2 right? These aren't the same things and gamblers and gamers don't have the same interests all the time

Different people have different perspective with regards to gambling. You see gambling as an easy way to multiply your money on hand as you said while others see gambling as for fun only. I personally like online games since I played most of the time maybe and I spend my time playing online games. There are some gamers who are actually earning from playing. Wish I could be one too .

The rules, mechanics, players, and environment of gambling makes it more exciting and challenging at the same time. These feelings you can’t get when you play online. With gambling, you can also exercise your skills and once you’re really ready to play with bets, you’d be confident and oriented enough to make your decisions. Gambling also helps you meet new connections, which may or may not be helpful in the future.

You have a point but I think he is just saying that gamblers can still gamble or bet on games like Dota 2 or LoL not play it directly. You can't just cover up your adddictiveness to gambling just by playing online games.

I guess gambling or betting on online games will be better but I think you should know the game entirely since you can just bet blindly right? Also, professional gamers are a becoming a demand now and I think it is better to be adaptive to this state.

[maydna]

I am playing games online too besides playing gambling and I think both have differences but I like to play the game especially with the adventure games. sometimes, I play games online with my friends and sometimes, we use the money for bets and if someone of us can win then the money will move to the winner. I see that the challenge is not the same but with money involved, I think it's more challenging because we want to be the winner so we can try the best things that we can to win the game and take the money.

Well you can even bet your dota2 items or csgo items on some gambling sites. The gambling site can automatically convert your dota2/csgo items into dollar to bet.

That is also a kind of gamble, theres alot of players who are near to professional quality play and spend all their time, effort and equipment setup to achieve that aim.  However its possible it never pays off for them and they are worse off then the person who did a normal 9-5 job and kept the games and gambling to a personal level.

Theres a level of risk in every decision people can make I think

[ocid]

playing gambling by playing online games is really risking what we have, but the way it is done is clearly very different and the sensation that is gained is very different, because everyone has a different hobby to determine the game he likes. many who are addicted to gambling many do not like playing online games even though the purpose of both is just to have fun most of those who are accustomed to gambling would prefer to play gambling because by gambling they can get abundant profits if they are able to win it
