Why not play games online instead of gambling?

[crwth]

People don't gamble for the fun of it, despite what they may say (generally). For the most part, they do it because of the thrill of winning something substantial or potentially winning a life-changing amount of money. Anybody who tells you they're having fun losing all their money every day on a slot machine is either delusional or a liar.

I guess most people would feel extremely sad when they lose their hard earned money to the casinos, and I agreed with you on this point, if there is anyone who says that they are still having fun in the casinos even when they are losing all their money away daily, it is mostly a lie, it might be some self consolation to show that he is not a total loser to other people.

That’s the risk of gambling and people should accept that even before starting to gamble. Hard earned money is really a tricky part because you can invest it you could spend it but if you want easy money then  you go to gambling. People who gamble daily are addicted, they should just take it slow, especially when they are losing.

Because this involves money and profit, while other games do not provide facilities such as gambling, so when people want to have fun in gambling is not only because of the game, but because of the ease of profit from gambling and the reason also that makes people become addicted

You can never deny that it has money and profit as long as you mean you could get it. It has always been about the money knowing that we have to profit in it. Taking it slow would be ideal since you will Undergo fewer bets so less chances of losing.

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 think that aside from the fun gained from gambling, of course gamblers expect luck to win the game and get free money. it's different with playing online the sensations that are obtained are clearly different, even though in online games we can interact with anyone in it but the luck gained is only focused on winning the game so that it can increase to a higher level

Well, most people think like you, but I see from the other side that they tend to be more into gambling games because they are very looking for challenges rather than just playing games, obviously gambling is very different from ordinary games because in that game using money or coins to fight and, in essence, they want to find pleasure and profit.

Challenges that comes from losing or challenges that comes from the game being a hard one.
Yeah, this may be something that could be applicable to poker in terms of challenges, but it is still a matter of luck, but in any case, you can always get to find those sorts of challenges even in online games as well.
It is true that gambling is different from ordinary games, but for those who keep saying they are looking for fun, why can they not play online game to seek the fun actually ?

One can assume that people differ regarding what they can be more addicted to, and probably it's a decent assumption, but from what I know, online games are more addictive and people spend much more time playing them then non-addicted gamblers usually spend on gambling. It's up to you to decide what is better, to lose $1-$2 while gambling for 1-2 hours, or lose zero money but spend 5-6 hours playing online games. I prefer the former scenario because, as they say, "time is money", you know, and I definitely don't want to lose so much time.

I also ask this question to my self before  and the only first   answer that came out to my head is gambling is more thrilling than any kind of games out there .

 yes the thrill is what makes gambling so exciting because it is involved a money but gambling is also riskier .

playing games on the other hand can also provide entertainment but you can easily feel bored after sometime of playing it because you dont find it interesting anymore .

Its true entertainment is not the main reason why gamblers playing gambling because if pass time is the reason why won't they just play online games in their phones or computers. I think because people who lole to play gambling are experiencing greed when it comes to money that they became addicted.

It all depends on the interest of the individual there are people who love to play games online and butfind it more difficult to do gambling because of high risk of losing money but both of them are part of entertainment and past times.

I think also some people doesn’t want to play gambling because they don’t have something to gamble with. If the risk of losing money is not somewhat entertaining to you, then it is definitely not for that person. We all know that, we should have come to a conclusion that it still depends on the person‘s ability or to see judgement on what is going to be done.

I am trying to play games online instead of gambling and I enjoy to play both and in my opinion, both games online and gambling have a different feeling for every person. some people prefer to play gambling because they can make money IF they can win the game but the other people don't want to lose the money so they prefer to play games online. playing games online and gambling online/offline can be a solution to enjoy our time in our free time so we can relax from what we did in every day and sometimes we can release the stress that we have.

Not just some people like you say, many people still prefer gambling rather than online games because they can be fun and can make money, the charm of money is too great for all of us, the resistance is useless, just play and have money, that is the dream of so many people. Casinos understand and they use our psychology to make money for them, many people have been unable to escape when engaged in gambling, that is also what happened to me in the past but fortunately, I was able to stop in time and move on to healthy activities and games

I've never met a regular gambler who only spends $2 in gambling, really. It's going to blow up overtime and the time spent in gambling will also increase especially once the person has started to use gambling as a way to cope with problems and avoid facing his suppressed emotions. On the other hand, you can also spend money in online games and honestly it makes gaming a lot better. You might start buying better graphics card for higher resolution and higher frame rate. You might also buy an IPS monitor with high resolution and high frame rate to match the graphics card with. What I'm trying to say is that we really can't say that one thing is better than the other because both have the tendency to eat your money and time when you get hooked on it. It really depends on the person, his environment, his issues, his stress level, lifestyle, and the coping mechanisms that he developed.

Plus, based on your judgment, you had a priority of time while others might have a priority of money. Pretty much it's subjective, is the better word. What's good for you might not look good for others and vice versa.

With today's current trend, it can be done at the same time.

There's what we call e-sports which is also integrated into casino's where you can bet your items and mostly with cryptocurrencies. Two passions at the same time can be done well.

In general i agree with you, but there are a difference between that games. I think that online games have to make an opportunity to earn BTC or other altcoins directly in a game.

Well, I have different opinion. I would rather to choose Play online games over gambling because how could you say you were satisfied upon playing gambling you losing money unlike online games you could really win. Besides, there's a less chance for you to win there unlike in online games anytime you can win dependinh on the skills you have.

It’s not all about time passing and entertainment, because you are losing money. You should first think about that. I think that why one plays games or gambling for time passing and entertainment? There are many things to do for fun, entertainment and passing your time happily. You can spend the money you lose in gambling on something better.

In my opinion gambling no matter online or offline doesn’t have any fun and entertainment. It is just gambling. For fun and enjoyment there are many other things you can do, then why only gambling? It is right that many people think that they gambler only for fun but gradually they become gambling addicted and they it is hard to quit gambling. Before that time funny gamblers should think about it.

Yeah I agree with you 100%. All you mentioned here are true and I also believe that simple games (no money involved) is the best way to spend your time, because there will be tension of losing or winning money and you will enjoy your game, while playing gambling there is only tension and no enjoyment because of the fear to lose your money. There is a lot of difference in these two games and gambling.

If you are talking of fun games and not gambling games then it is ok, but the problem is that addicted gambler will play only gambling games because they feel no fun in ordinary games. They want to make money from online games and for that they will have to play gambling games. It is better not to use online games and gambling to avoid bad consequences.
