Is It An Easy Transition From Gamer To Gambler In Casino.

I always consider gaming as gambling I have seen many gamblers spend a lot of money for their character and to level up their account for future profit, like selling their stuff and their character.

If you're a gamer or someone is a gamer and would like to try to gamble in online casinos will it become an easy transition as all the elements of gambling are present when you're a gamer, or does a gamer have to start all over again, and have a different motivation and mindset?

Gaming and gambling are totally different concepts.

Gamers usually have always postivie expected returns because their only expense is their time. The more they play, the more wealthy they get but of course since everybody does the same thing the items/gold they collect in the game isn't worth much in terms of USD.

Gamblers on the other hand wager real money. They may get poorer at the end of the day. Because of the risk they take, the potential gains are far bigger.

The result in gambling is very much dependent on luck, and the result of playing online games is a waste of a huge amount of time on pumping your character and your gaming skills. Any gamer can easily switch to gambling, but not the fact that he will have the same success as in gaming, because they are completely different things. If a person can make money from online games, then I would suggest that he turn his attention to play-to-earn. This area is just beginning to develop and if you make the effort, you can make good money on it during the next bull cycle.

IMO, i don't think there's much profit in selling stuff and including your character after a long time of grinding in an online game. I myself was an MMORPG gamer. I spend like $200 every month just to sustain whatever needs necessary to level up my character. The internet and electricity consumption and expenses is not included of course. After many months I decided to sell my character and you know how much it cost? Just around $500-$600.
Most stuff in an online game you sold for money might never be enough to cover your monthly expenses.
Expensive stuff usually requires expensive premium items to boost your character.
Therefore, I cannot consider gaming as gambling.
In gambling your only asset is your money, once it's gone you'll never take them back and make money out if it again.
Also, gambling and gaming as it's own level of excitement and enjoyment when you're playing.

I definitely agree! I myself had a share of story about role-playing games when I'm a bit younger and it's not that profitable unlike what other people thinks. I can't also say if it's an easy transition if you're a gamer into being a gambler or vice versa, gaming and gambling is two different things, and it's incomparable in my perspective.

I think a lot of the same "Feel good" chemicals in the brain are released when you participate in both gaming and gambling. That is why so many people get addicted to "gaming" too... 

Also, both of these activities are a form of entertainment... so the transition from being a "gamer" ..to being a "gambler" should be an easy shift. (There are a common misconception that only underage kids are playing games.... loads of adults are still huge gamers) 

[virasisog]

The transition from a gamer to a gambler is quite easy because you are already aware of the risks. They're the same in some aspects and differ when it comes to challenges.
Both are addictive but when abused, gambling can cause chaos and might ruin lives unlike gaming, you might purchase or spend money for characters but the risk of losing most of your assets is a bit lesser compared to gambling.
Both can be entertaining but gambling for me is broader than gaming because gambling has many types and compare to gaming, it can provide good profit and higher losses at the same time.

IMO, there are two versions in the world of gamers, there are lovers and only play for personal pleasure, even though it costs a lot of money to buy, items, skins, levels. there are also those who make the game a profession, to sell items, or other items that have a selling value.  however, gamers and gamblers are different.
both land-based casinos and online casinos, are purely gambling and luck. and this is what underlies the difference between gamers and gamblers, in my personal opinion there is no transition from gamers to gamblers.
you can play both if you want, and basically gamers and gambling games have the same definition, namely games that are entertaining and very fun.

It's an easy transition since you already have an idea given that both have their own similarities. I believe a gamer is like a gambler since you have this eagerness to win the game. The difference is if you're a gamer it's more on entertainment while in gambling you have this goal to win not only because you're enjoying the game but because there's a real money involved that you put at stake. Both can be addicted too thus it still depends how you control yourself.

Most of gamers don't mind about the business because they're enjoying about the games and some of them want to achieve higher rank to become a pro player. They may trying to gamble on online casino, but not all of them will enjoying gambling just like they enjoying to play games they liked. I think it's an easy transition from gamer to gambler considering most of gamers are introvert and spend most of their times on online.

When a gamer has gained a lot of experience in the gaming world, the gamer is very excited if he gets a casino game according to his former gaming experience. He may think that this is the easiest game for him. If he plays the game then he has a great chance of winning. On one hand he will get pleasure from playing the game and other there is a chance to win money. As a result, a gamer can easily convert to gambling.

If you are into competitive online gaming, say, MOBA—obviously not so much on MMORPGs—it's easier to transition since you already know tons on the teams that are usually playing the game and you already know the strategies, the meta, and all of that stuff. You'll base most of your predictions or bets on your knowledge on the team, the things that they usually do, and their opponents that I'm pretty sure you also know about. Gamers are somewhat fast to analyze things and can make judgments on the fly, hence it will be easier for them to start betting on the game that they play on but for other games/sports, it will take some time before they get the hang of it.

Today, gaming and gambling is already attached to each other.

As much as we can see, every fan of a sport knows how to gamble but not all of them. Anyone you ask about it, he/she knows that there's a certain gambling within that sport.

Traditional sports and esports are the most common this day. So, if you're doubting yourself if it's going to be a problem, you won't even have to itch yourself about it as long as you know the sport you're about to bet.

If someone is already a gamer before he enters the gambling world, I believe that it would be much easier for him because he already know the basics of gaming, and therefore he will easily understand the rules and regulations inside the casino or gambling website. The transition will be smoother because he has a knowledge already compared to those other people who don't really have a background to rely on.

Although gambling is different from gaming alone, but you have the grasp of what the gamblers are doing such as using techniques and strategies and of course, knowing that there will be other teams or group of opponents in which you can compete with, in gambling side, it's the house and the other bettors. Perhaps what they will take some time to familiarize are the jargons used by the gamblers, but it'll be easy to remember once they get used to it while learning and playing at the same time.

It will be an easy transition, but you should not expect to always win in gambling, because in gaming if you have the skill and the knowledge of the various level you have a chance to win, in gambling, especially in casinos everything depends on luck, even if you reach a level of experience in gambling, you will spend money on both but there's a chance of return on gambling more than in gaming, the excitement is both the same and you will not notice that fly fly away on both gaming and gambling as both are addictive.

I guess gaming and gambling are different things because some gamers don't spend a lot of money to buy certain characters and level up their accounts. Even if they buy a certain character, if the goal is to reach the top spot in that game, that's not gambling either.

But we know that gambling always uses money and the results will always be two, namely losing or winning. From here, I think the difference is clear; maybe those who play will feel that they are not gambling. But I don't know, but I don't think it's an easy transition if a gamer tries to gamble at an online casino.

I think those who develop a character in a game in order to later sell an account or this character (in other words, they are engaged in grinding) have nothing to do with gambling. I've done this sort of thing myself and it's business as usual - basically you spend time on a service and then you sell it.
Another thing is if we are talking about loot boxes and the like - this is very close to gambling, and if you open loot boxes, then you get a feeling of excitement. Perhaps this can be a transitional link to regular gambling.

If you examine both gaming and gambling, the words can often be used in reference to one another. Say we about to gamble for the winner of a bet via a game, I can say; Let us "game", instead of let us "gamble", which sounds very inappropriate for some.

It will be easy for someone already who is a gamer and normally can spend to level up their account to switch into real gambling, Casino gambling involve playing games, so it shouldn't seem like something too different.

Gamers already know how to deal with every aspect of gambling games. They already know the cons and pros of the possible moves that they will make in gambling since gamers can easily adapt the game rules but it comes to taking the risks, they could be quite different. Gamers don't need to risk money but rather time and effort only but in gambling, they need to have the capital and the courage to face the possibility of losing.

I do not consider this as gambling but as an investment. You are putting money in the hope that it will be more valuable in the future. For me, gambling is when you put money hoping that you will win the money of others.

There are maybe some traits of a gamer that can help him cope better in gambling but that does not mean that you can be a good gambler if you are a good gamer. For one, as a gamer, you are used to long hours sitting and playing. Gamblers do that also, especially if they gamble in card games or slots. But as a gamer, sometimes you can lose your cool and there is no real consequence but lose a game. But in gambling, if you lose your cool, you can be gambling your life away. You can be cleaned by the casino if you do not control your emotions.

I played several online games and was in "rich" clans where people spent several thousand dollars to level up a character/account. But I have never seen it make sense from a business point of view - roughly speaking, if you spent 10k dollars on an account, then you can only sell it for 1k. Such a loss is quite similar to the loss from gambling, but it is unlikely to attract anyone

If you're a gamer and you enjoy playing the game over and over again starting from scratch then selling your old accounts then thats fine because that is something you enjoy. There are also gamers who would freak out and have a mental breakdown over having to start from scratch because they enjoy their progress and do not wish to lose it. It really depends on the person in question. Same thing goes for gambling. If you are a gamer transitioning to gambling, you might find a lot of things similiar and enjoyable. But it could also be troublesome learning new concepts.
