Why not play games online instead of gambling?

[radjie]

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?

everyone has their own habits or hobbies to get pleasure, for some people playing online gambling is one of the entertainment to get pleasure. in contrast to people who like gambling, of course, some of them play gambling certainly expect to get money from him, although there are also those who make gambling as a means of getting entertainment but when viewed the presentation is clearly much different between people who only seek entertainment with people who gamble for get money from him

There is a lot of difference between online games and gambling games.  The variety of online games is much more than gambling games but you will not get any real money on winning the online games.  However, on the other hand, gambling games are limited and you can lose or earn real money through them.

Because gambling is too far different from online gaming,in gambling we don’t need skills(though sometimes it helps)what we need is luck and what’s can get is MONEY in which very important tools to play also.so in that case I think it’s reasonable to gamble when you want to enjoy and also chance to win right?

While in Online gaming we are only to be entertained and to practice our skills and talent to win each game(but of course some of them now are being used as gambling tools also when they are betting for whom to win the game..and some gives stakes for each players to become a champion so they are basically not the same,but also have some similarities nowadays

if you are players of both, you can tell the big difference, gamblers for excitement on winning an extra cash and beating the system, they want to be the lucky guy that day something any online game cannot offer, on online games so much depends on your skill and you know what's going to happen under such circumstances, you even have a control on the situation.

There's a big difference on both, it's not about interacting with other people only, there's more than that, the feeling and the excitement of every roll that you did not know if you are going to win or lose, people like to tempt their luck and gambling is the best place to see that.

Its because those people are not the same interest or want when it comes to games, others like to play online games, while others like to play in gambling because they can earn $ in gambling if they won while when it comes to online games more online games you can't win or earn $ on it. Thats why others said the thrill of playing online game is not the same as the thrill on gambling.

Few years ago or mayb one i cant realy remember it was possible to do both of them , playing an online game and earn on them !
I played it a lot of times and got some coins with it too. Guess it was Digibyte (DGB) that has done implemented earnings when you playing Counterstrike !
It was realy funny and nice so it was possible you can play your favorite game and at the same time you got rewarded for if won some Matches.
And also i guess there was a few more Games on the Site where it was possible to get some rewards of DGB when you played them .
But i cant remember what for other games it was , Counterstrike was one . Sadly that they got some issues with that and they deactivate it at some Stage.
Dont know if that is possible anymore or something.

Even if you play online games and are very good at them, they will never give you any benefit. While the gambling games give you money on each win and therefore it is more exciting to play gambling games.

I do not change your post deserve merit anyway more than 5 billion people in the world addicted to gambling and some of them are even going to hospitals for taking medicines. Gambling is not bad just the addiction to it is bad. There is a thing called impulsiveness and when you gamble you have Rapid feeling about playing it again but if you play it just like you play video games you will not be addicted to gambling. That means do not play it as an income source and just enjoy it I want to lose some money just go to a Casino and enjoy the games and do not expect to win.

Yes, it is still possible, and, in fact, the industry is growing. Just one example, Kuro Takhasomi, 27 years old, earned more than $4 million playing Dota 2. Also there are kids under 20 earning hundreds of thousands USD through their skills in video gaming. Google about eSports to read about this growing industry with over $1 billion yearly revenues. Also maybe check out the page from the link below

to see how much some individuals earn playing games like Dota 2, Fortnite, Counter-Strike and others.

But, answering the OP's question, I want to say that there are different kinds of people. I, for one, don't like playing video games at all, but enjoy playing poker, dice and some other games like minesweeper, plinko etc. Asking people like me, "Why don't you play video games instead of gambling?" is the same as asking people playing football, why don't they play tennis?

Gambling is can be more motivated because of money. This is the difference between o
playing online games and gambling. Besides, there are many games to start in gambling so it could be more fun also when one will gamble. If you have tried gambling OP then there is no question between playing online games and playing games in gambling.

Both platform are good but a gambler will be a gambler but the palyer in online.games.could have the chance to become a gambler.

Its because those people are not the same interest or want when it comes to games, others like to play online games, while others like to play in gambling because they can earn $ in gambling if they won while when it comes to online games more online games you can't win or earn $ on it. Thats why others said the thrill of playing online game is not the same as the thrill on gambling.

But both online games and gambling can make people become an addiction, especially if they play those things for a long time. But in gambling, people who are losing their money in the games will be difficult to recover they're lost because it's not easy to get the money back in the gambling games. But for people who are playing online gambling, they lose their time because they are playing in all day long.

No matter if in online games and gambling, we need to manage our time, so we know how long we need to spend on both activity, and we can do another thing in a day.

That's not the right approach.
If you don't expect to earn money then why don't you try betting on a simulator of the game that you enjoy playing?
This way you will still have fun and save your money.

If the games are more popular than gambling it need to be interested only but in today situation everyone wants the profit with entertainment then only they can be satisfied in hundred percent so everyone life will filled with money only that's why gambling is more popular than normal games.

Do you think those people.earn money when they play online games? Of course you can enjoy only playing online games but your time will be useless compared to the gambling you can  enjoy and alsp your capital to grow. If I choose between the two of course gambling is still better even it is risky because I earn money and I know the consequences when I play gambling.

Yep, online games will just for fun or some sort of competition but the real game will be in gambling which includes money.
There are no worries if ever we loss in online games but for gambling, definitely big stress for us.

Right, people have their own way to get some fun and games sometime not really fit for some people. But gambling, can be done for people to look some fun or earn money. Lose might be stressful, but if win it can make us satisfied more than can games give.

[TheCoinGrabber]

Well some do. It just happen that people who chose to gamble just like the instant thrill of winning something a bit more tangible (money).

Of course you can also earn money from online games, depending on which game you are playing.

I think that you sum it up in the first part. Why? Because everyone has their own hobbies that makes them feel sometimes a bit better, sometimes entertained, sometimes happy, sometimes excited or all the mentioned ones at times. That is a real gift, some services are free and some you have to pay money.

Either way by using your time that is time you are trading, so if paying money it's trading money and time in exchange for that. This is why it's so important to do things you really like so you can say at the end: Worth it.

Playing both gambling ang online games are both fun. The only difference is that we have a chance to win, to double our money/btc in gambling websites which makes the games more exciting, fun and satisfaction everytime you won. While online games also gives you some fun without thinking there is a money involved. With my recent bad results in gambling, I am thinking of turning my back into it and just try some online games instead
