Like any sports that we like, there's already gambling involved into games or e-sports too. For example, those favorite MOBA games like LOL and Dota 2 while in FPS games like CS;GO there are casino's where you can bet with bitcoin now a days.

And if you are familiar with 'skins' or in-game items, there are also casino's that are focused with that kind of bet. It's sort of a trade-bet type of casino which is also popular up to date.

Well id say not all gamers will upgrade and move on to gambling because imo video games are more fun than gambling and its less riskier because it does not involve money . although some games have in game items thay can be bought by cash and its not surprising at all that gamers are a fan of buying those virtual items  because that enhance thier gaming experience.

The guy above me is also correct  . nowadays there are now video game based gambling that accept cryptos  . they are also fun and thrilling .

Gambling in video games is just the same as gambling in any sports game but I don't think if there are gamers who do actually get addicted to betting in any video games. Well, if someone is making money out of it then it is probably gonna get them addicted real soon.

Only people who do play those games will understand how the concept of it and how to win a bet with those games.

 Almost all the games created and the current situation are having addictive features like unlocking the levels are weapons or any other gadgets for the players who are doing good if it is a multiplayer game I just keep increasing the level to have a satisfaction that they are really making some level of development and this may influence gambling addiction also in future but they know what is the disadvantage of gampling if they still doing it means they are responsible for that behaviour

All sorts of things could really create a possibility on making a gambling activity as long there is money bet involved which is always a catalyst to start such gamble.
Even on a simple deal with someone as simple on doing a task, when you do bet then its considered gambling.So, there no difference with video games which as long you
do know that you can gain that is something valuable then anytime you can create such dealings.

As the present generation is much adaptive to technology and things related to technology the gaming industry which is the base for the mining keeps on growing. Not everyone gets addicted and go for live tournaments online. I used to spend time playing on play station and haven't spend on these focused of an earning. If I keep one step forward spending easily addiction gets in, if the starting few games were won.

Video games are really entertaining people and it can also be a gamble if you do spend of much money. I don’t think when you play video games you will ended up into casinos, because the enjoyment that we get from video games is different from casinos, and I think its your decision whether to choose gambling as an alternative or not.

When seeing the current situation of gambling I will not eat something that is a huge amount of technical development will happening to this world in very short period of time and also gambling is developed a huge unexpected so when coming to this situation people will do anything they want so my opinion is controlling the gambling interest will definitely needed for every investors in gambling otherwise it makes you more addicted.

Video game gambling addiction is fine "as long as" at the end of the day they are still a responsible gambler and they truly know what they're doing. Even they spend lots as long as it will not affect their primary spendings then let them gambled.

People just can't resist playing especially if that's their passion. If they decided to take their interest in higher level like in real casinos then that's their decision. Now if something goes wrong along the way, that's the time those people need some assistance and guidance. Addiction can be cured even it will takes time.

Yes, it is only up to the gamer what he wants to do with his life. If it will turn him into gambling addict, then I would say that's his choice in life. We can't control them and so it is a matter of self-control on what they do in life. I once was, addicted to some video game but then I realized I should stop or else, I need to suffer some bad consequences in life. So it's all about your determination to change. Nobody can change you but you alone.

This is one of my favorite, a betting site that's all about video games. It's very addicting though but it's very helpful to relieve stress, it's very entertaining and you can't imagine that you're losing because on the start it's just a game. Gamers are already addicted on playing games, I think it's very common to a gaming community that they're addicted on each games. In this situation, I think it's also a common thing to have a user that's very addicted to video game gambling 'cause you can earn huge profit while entertaining yourself on your favorite game.

I think the OP means that video games is somehow a step/doorway or a practice stage in order for someone to gamble in casino which is in my opnion depends on the person. Some of video game players are still prefer video games rather than playing such casino games since the concept of casino and video games works in a different manner.

Well, just like other type of games we usually play, it is already being associated with gambling even with the normal games so we can expect that when in comes to video games online or even offline, there is such possibility that gambling can be involved. It is just easy to be solved. Always have your self-control and be mindful that it is just a play that we do not need to be pressured and get to be so serious because a game must be played and not be a cause of problem and we must let ourselves to play the game and do not let the game deceive on playing with us because most likely if that thing happen, you will be leading into the path of addiction. That is why upon playing into an online casino I a currently into, I tend to keep reminding myself that my aim is just to have fun s that I will not exert much money on it to play the variety of games they have and not to chase my lost if ever I did win on the game I played plus I enjoy the great bonus they offer once you have done your first deposit.

Video game addiction might differ from the gambling addcition because from video games we are not going to make any money but from gambling we need to risk money to make more so in my view it completely different because I had experience on both.

People nowadays are so moderized they are all into mobile phones everytime. This included social networks and games. The number of gamers are also multiplied because of this. If cryptocurrency gambling interferes with this, the game would probably be more exciting. Betting virtual currency on a virtual game is so logical. Someone should work on this one.

E-sports have become lately very popular for their gambling opportunities that they offer to gamblers.
Personally, I believe that it is better to bet in a video game match because in the most cases the better team or player wins. And despite that, bookers offer good odds to the gamblers for Esports games in order to attract gamblers and bet in them.
