Without money, does it still qualify as gambling?

[savetheFORUM]

Demo account is still gambling imo just you arent risking anything either, its hard to say as it literally is a practice account but also its still the same game.    Some people say the same thing about gambling small amounts but its all relative to your own boundaries and personal limits.  I still count it as gambling, if you won 10x in a row would you ignore the win as not real because it wasnt for money.  I have to disagree the gambling works as a game even when you dont gamble big or even gamble money at all I believe thats important to keep as a core thing or possibly the entire game just turns into a circle of money and stressful tbh.
   I think its even possible people learn more relieved of the money factor, just play and explore the game then add money and keep it as icing on the cake to every win or loss with your game, bets, etc.

Playing gambling games on a demo account with fake money is something totally different than a fantasy game which you can play free of cost and get the opportunity to win real money, you can call playing with a demo account gambling because that's literally gambling only with fake money, but playing a game with no money involved only to win a prize if you win shouldn't be considered gambling.

The thing is very clear, whatever game you play that involves having something at stake, be it fake money, real money, a belonging, a thing, or anything in the world, that would make it gambling, but, when you play a game where there is nothing up at stake but you can just win something if you manage to win, that isn't gambling.

It depends on what an individual interpret gambling to be in his own understanding, some make fun and I'm doing this during the leisure time, they bet on something after which they have sustained alot of argument from the discussion, which is also a physical form of gambling as long as money is involved and they have made a bet to seal it up, if money is not involved, it would be termed only an argument but once you argue and put money on the outcome anticipated for, it's a form of gambling, that's why you will not see a gambling platform that will not require from you a staking amount for your bet, wxce it's not gambling at all.

In my way of learning, I am self-taught and I don't like to risk my money just like that, I always do tests, the advantage that casinos have is to put the games in test mode to verify everything, the emotions with the casino when it is with Real money things get good because it is when they are most enjoyed, the adrenaline is activated, things begin to flow with more emotion, without money the player becomes less attentive, it may seem boring and he does not like it, what they do not understand it is that in test mode you can make a mistake and nothing happens, on the other hand if you make a mistake in real mode it is a loss of money and it is not the idea.

I have seen that there are many players who bet in this way, even they are not boxing nymphs,they only bet because the fight is relevant and they have ways to win,we who like fights and sports see this in another way,from the way of betting because we like it, because we know the abilities of many boxers, some of us practice the sport and we know Something,and that is much more information that helps us when making a good bet and yet sometimes we still lose bets,so Gamblers who are just gambling must feel empty in some way.

Being able to bet and at the same time witness a match or battle is very exciting and is enjoyed by many gamblers, so it's only natural that many do it.
I myself like betting and being able to witness it firsthand because it gives higher adrenaline and extraordinary satisfaction.
That way I can also gain experience in a match or battle so that in the future I will be even better when making predictions for bets.
We can get information anywhere as long as there is a will to get it, but unfortunately there are still some gamblers who don't pay attention to such things and they bet without having sufficient information or experience so that they often lose.

Just as you have said, I like it when I bet live online seeing my game play gives me comfort to some extent but not to believing in what I see though because all the device used in playing the games are all programmed software which can easily be manipulated at all odds. I have had the experience before so I know what I am talking about not to talk of when you win  regular and the casino noticed it and begin to out an eye on your games wanting to find a fault as to stop you from playing and possibly labeling your account as a defaulter for possible bam or suspension bit unfortunately they could not do that to me because it was a live casino and I was watching and seeing what was happening until a sudden change in their activities which made me to suspect an unusual move by the team live online. I noticed every thing that very moment and they left the game room and after a while they returned after I had chat them up to know why they left the room while the game was on but no one replied me. Then I knew something was wrong as I could not cancel the game again as o already placed a bet live online and when they came back, they spinner the roulette game and I lost everything I had won that day, my big wins  that very moment all gone. Since then, I had to stop playing with the casino.

Each experience is something new, if we start playing in a somewhat uncontrolled way we can lose many horizons, among them the ones we seek the most, which is to win, and when we focus only on winning and not accepting the normal losses that occur in a In the game of chance we begin to fail and that is where the mistake of many who believe that casinos are like automatic cashiers that are going to melt when a player makes a request, that is where the problems begin until they lose everything, that is why self-control It must always exist in any environment.

I think everyone will have the same kind of feelings and emotions about their money, losing it just like that will probably hurt as earning money is not a joke for anyone. And you are right that it is better if you get to test a game or a service so that you can practice a little bit before you get involved with real money and start playing or using the service for real.

It might not be boring when you are playing in demo mode but it is obviously more exciting if real money is involved since if you hit a big win in a demo account, you get nothing but if the same happens when you are playing with real money, that gives you a lot of money.

the results will also be different when you play a demo account which tends to be programmed to make the player's experience more interesting with multiple wins.
but when using real money, we will experience some pressure that makes us more careful not to lose. that's humane, even though actually when we gamble in the casino, we have to be prepared to lose.
but if you just want to have fun and play experience, using a demo account first is not a problem. it can be lucrative for beginners.

It should be noted that when we gamble using the demo mode, big wins can be obtained easily and this happens to make gamblers even more curious so they deposit some money to play for real.
But when gamblers play using the money they deposit, let alone big wins for small wins it seems difficult to get.
Indeed, using deposited money can make a profit if you win, but if you are just entertaining yourself, it's better to stick with the demo mode.

Playing gambling with counterfeit money on a demo account is also called gambling even though it is a counterfeit money and cannot be cashed with real money, but usually this demo mode can be used for the first test for beginners to try the game in the casino, usually using this demo account will always be Often win a lot, making people interested in trying to gamble with real money. But instead often experience defeat when playing with real money.

Demo account mode is not the same as playing with real accounts, because the fact is already set to give you a victory in demo mode, I often test every casino even I often get more victories in the demo account than the real money account at the casino.

Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?

With or without money we can still term it to be gambling since they are all involved staking and predictions. However interest might pick up and may lead to staking of funds which would possibly turned it to gambling.
I have heard of this on DSTV as well were you will select the players and if it happens those players picked score accordingly or with the way you are being selected then you win money. I have been see the adverts on that satellite.

Using a demo account with a real account is different, and the feeling of winning you get will also be different. If using a real account, if you win, it will feel very good. While using the demo account, if you win, you will be mediocre and have no pleasant feelings. Verifying a casino using a demo account is possible, but it will be different when you use a real account. But if you use a demo account, it's still gambling because you can just turn it into a real account by activating your account. And when you use a real account, the challenge will be more pronounced for you.

Because this is done for free without using any money it's just like a promotion try for free and when you are lucky you will get real money.
So for me predicting not using money is not gambling.

If you look carefully they are indirectly promoting their site and would later results to gambling, although currently we (you) may not see it as gambling but however, after achieving their required goals it could be turned to a gambling site were bettors needs to put real money to gamble. To seal up the argument it is not gambling but free to win.

Gambling is actually not necessarily about money. everything that can be at stake in several choices we can call it a gamble.
as an easy example, my friends and I are betting between students or teachers who will erase the writing on the blackboard first when a new lesson starts. and the loser would polish the winner's shoes for one week.

I don't know what other people think, but in my opinion, it's a small thing that can be bet in any form. I would call it gambling. I made a bet with my prediction.

For this it is necessary to clarify that a real bet is when it is done with money, and that is what makes it exciting, a bet is a bet for me with that, otherwise it is considered as training, of course we cannot say that we do not need practice, practice is necessary, but a bet itself is with money, otherwise there is no emotion there are no profits, no losses, but for someone who is afraid to bet to do it, but there is not much point in making bets with fictitious money, it is something that does not have any type of argument, if to practice and learn it is something else , it is accepted , otherwise not.

As one who engages in gambling, i believe it only hurts when you spend more than you can afford to lose.  Money that is allocated to important things.  But if we lose money that is free and we can afford to lose, we may not feel anything but the entertainment it brings.

It might not be boring when you are playing in demo mode but it is obviously more exciting if real money is involved since if you hit a big win in a demo account, you get nothing but if the same happens when you are playing with real money, that gives you a lot of money.

The thought of amassing more money is what gives gambling more adrenaline.  Thinking that we can x1000 or more our bet and hit it brings really great joy to the winner.  Demo mode is like playing but gets tired easily because gambling game is redundant.  The stake makes the game exciting.

In reply to the comment above yours, to me, predicting without money is still gambling, gambling is gambling, money is just an instrument that could be used to make more interesting in some cases, I've watched friends bet over the outcome of a football Match without putting money down, a simple choosing who would win a match and another person taking the opposition can be equated as betting, in the old days, men made bets/gamble without money.

Although gambling without money seems strange, the gambling site has been created considering some important business aspects behind it. Gambling without money can be a promotional free service for that gambling site. First they gave some free services without money, then when the target of their website promotion was met, they promoted the site in exchange of money. One of the main goals of a successful business is first they promote their website well and then they fulfill their target through users. Maybe with free service this can be their main business principle.

But you can still bet without money; you can bet using your stuff, like shoes, your things, etc., as long as you both agree, but still, it is better to bet with money, and you are right, the excitement would be gone if there was no betting. Just imagine watching your favorite sport without betting; it is kind of boring, but still there is excitement, but it is very different when you bet because even when you are at home, you are shouting support for your team.

I was already feeling ashamed of myself, since they the previous person quoted me wrongly. Well I don't have to argue but within myself I understand is a pure gambling despite no funds included.
As always said, it's a game of interest and passion, so anyone who doesn't have the interest may not involved herself or himself before putting money, so money makes it smoother and attractive.

Yes, the meaning of my response is also like that.
Most gamblers who have just registered with the casino or want to try their new game will use the demo mode to play.
Actually the demo mode is quite useful because it can give us a little experience of new games without us having to be afraid of losing some money to lose.
But unfortunately many think differently where they rely too much on a game or casino when using the demo mode and after depositing some money they only complain because every money that is deposited runs out without remainder.

I myself prefer to try new casinos or games using smaller amounts of money so that if I get lucky early on I can actually have a win.
