Without money, does it still qualify as gambling?

[Shamm]

I beg to differ. Having demo accounts can make a difference. It might not be as noticeable as it seems but aside from making people acquainted to the user interface and the nature of how it works, it also help people to practice and test the waters first before actually betting and depositing an actual amount. Demo accounts can be your training ground before the actual event which you can try to enhance your knowledge and skills while practicing. You can also try to make few techniques and strategies in which you can apply to the real deal. It's basically how you will utilize demo accounts to your advantage since most of it are free of charge, so you won't really lose a thing. The downside is of course, you won't also gain anything.

Demo account was nothing rather than BS. It's very different compared with playing in the real game. That's pretty much the same like binary options. The demo gives you easy win but once it comes to the real account and it will make you very hard in winning the game. That's the main purpose of it. The demo account being made as promotional purpose but the fact that it's BS.

People shall not need to use demo account other than use it to know what kind of feature that available in the platform.

Obviously it is very different, if you play on a demo account then winning will completely dominate you but on the contrary if you play on a real account then losing will accompany you every time you do it. It's clear that they've changed the system and they're using the demo account to promote some of their sites. But the presence of a demo account in my opinion helps gamblers a little because they can play there if they really don't have money to bet, and with that it will treat their curiosity a little, although on the other hand if you win you will not get real results. To be honest, I also often use this method if I want to gamble but don't want to lose money in it. Right, and besides that the purpose of a demo account is really just for a training ground to try out some strategies or get to know the features better there.

Yes agree with this mate actually I have been experiencing like this before when I use a guest account and try to play on that site then I always win and then the greedines will take over my mind then created an account and deposited an amount then play on the game that I played before using a guest account. But in reality in my first bet using real account I'll win so I bet again and again but when the time goes by I realize that my deposited money almost gone without knowing that I'll almost loss my deposited money.

Nobody should deceive me with Demo account oh! Demo account is used by the casino or trading website to lure you play the real account games. I have tried it and "experience is the best teacher". I opened account with a casino and used demo account to test the casino and the way I was winning was impressive and one of the gamblers in my locality told me that the way I winning with the demo account is the same way I will be winning with the real account. Omo!!! I didn't waste time to switched the demo to real account and I deposited $150 to see if I could win then I noticed that demo is demo and real account is real account. I lost all. Demo account is contrary to real account but you can use demo to practice the casinos.

Lol, what you experienced also relates to what I felt at the beginning. And also I think our minds matter, I don't mean when we play with a demo account, we won't think about losing, because it's not real money and when we win it's just a win and we can't enjoy it.
The gambling sites will definitely be smart, they do promotions in any way, including in ways like what we are talking about here.
I have experience of this, my friend played a demo account and he kept losing, then he thought maybe with real money he could win, and you know what the result is? yes he still lost. Lol. pathetic

And that's a lot of experience, as I said above, they must also be good at enticing their users to deposit and play with a real account immediately. And the result is still defeat, I know it will be very upsetting, because I also have the same experience. Therefore we should not expect, because disappointment is likely to be greater than we want. It's a temptation, so don't be tempted and force yourself, especially if you force yourself by using the money available for other purposes to pursue a demo account.

Demo accounts are nothing but a child's play to groom you get familiar with gambling or trading as the case maybe, you cannot call it for gambling without money because you aren't yet gambling but learning, once the money is involved then betting has to take place and you can now qualify being a gambler, another thing to consider is that how will the casinos make their own money if money is not involved in gambling, how will they cope and will everyone want to bet with money? Gambling without money is no gambling at all.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Nevertheless, Forex and gambling have very similar financial instruments for making money, which completely erase the line between trading and gambling. So - on Forex there is such a contract called an Option. An option is such a tool when you predict that the price of a certain currency pair will be lower or higher after a while, and if you guess, you will get +100 percent to the deposit. Does it remind you of anything? This is a one-on-one roulette game for red and black. At the same time, since our topic is about games and trading not for money, then why that Options can be used on demo accounts.

The question is very good, but I think that things can be given as a demo account to verify that things in demo mode, such as the money is fictitious, the person plays calmer without fear of losing because he knows that he will not lose anything, then the tools that exist both in casinos and on exchanges is what we must know how to understand, why? because when we play or trade on a casino platform or when we trade real money, if we make a mistake because we don't understand the tools well, we lose money.

In casino games we must understand everything, what each thing is for, because we don't know if we can use it at any given time to save our investment, I think that's why there is always a demo mode with play money.

In conclusion, I think that when you play anything without including money, it can become boring at times, but when we put money automatically, the emotion will be rotten, so it could be said that the game in demo mode and/or with play money is for educational purposes and to be able to do things much better, so as not to have mistakes when playing for real money.

My own experience clearly shows that using demo accounts and practicing your actions on a demo account is not just a waste of time, but also a completely harmful activity for the simple reason that it takes your time and does not allow you to really develop the necessary skills.  It is much better and more correct to use not a demo version in trading and games, but very small real deposits in cryptocurrency.  For example, a few dollars, losing which is almost imperceptible to your budget. 
Thus, you will develop the necessary skills much faster and more correctly.

It's a really good way of looking at it, well maybe you pick up the skills faster than me, sometimes I've tried to do that and I make mistakes that sometimes cost me some money that I need later to develop a better game, but what? that? Maybe I am very prepared when it comes to doing anything in the casino, but I know myself, I prefer to spend a lot of time in the demo part to learn well each tool that the game offers us and then when I feel confident Good My real bets are I do it with real money, maybe I'm a bit methodical, but I've learned that with money you shouldn't lose like that.

I give a lot of importance to playing in demo mode, because I saw the importance of demo mode from the moment I started trading, specifically in an exchange where, because I thought I knew how to put a position well, what I did was make a profit that I already had lose, so that bothered me a lot, because of that mistake I lasted 3 days in demo mode and learned many things, that's why I apply that same teaching to casino games, the truth is I don't like losing money in a stupid way , I like to do things well, but of course, there are people who have a better understanding of the tools of casinos and exchanges.

I know that there are many people who think like me, but there are also others who believe that it is a waste of time and I understand them, the emotion, the adrenaline of playing is something that makes us unique when facing the challenges of the casinos.

Probably useful or useless training in trading on the stock exchange or playing in a casino, or, for example, Forex trading using demo accounts, should be decided by the player himself. 
I admit that many people are just impatient to start trading or playing for real money as soon as possible and they ignore demo accounts altogether.  Some people just make bets in completely different ways when they know that if they lose, they will really lose money and still try to make these bets deliberately.  And if such people start training on a demo account, then their motivation will be so transformed that it will simply not be applicable if they switch to a real account.  However, the risk-taking habit he developed on the demo account may continue.  And then the losses and losing the game is almost guaranteed.  However, some players are certainly aware of the difference between a demo account and a real account and take this difference into account. 
And yet, perhaps, a demo account is really suitable for elementary development of skills simply by pressing certain options in the right order and sequence and training similar technical skills in the game.

Well, months ago I started trading forex, and I just started with real money, because I looked at all the trading tools and I was like, oh, I know, and just starting out, I was wrong, so these things happen to you sometimes. for not trusting well, or for believing that one knows everything, and there I lost some money entering, and later I recovered it, but really that happened for having confidence, now every time I enter an exchange in a casino game if they have I don't miss the demo option, I use it because they prefer to make a mistake there and not with my money, because if I lose due to malpractice it is already my responsibility.

In games things can be very different, each person has their level of understanding and maybe the game they are going to play does not need to be practiced because they already know everything, so that is something else, but the truth is that I know the game From memory, I go into it and start doing my normal moves like I don't know, I take advantage of the demo mode, in fact even in slots I like to use the demo mode to see what a slot brings so much excitement and so on. I adjust to what I can take in emcoines, and in possible profits.

Always in slots, it's good to see the maximum multiplier that can be drawn, if it's 10x and more, it's a slot worth risking, otherwise, I play the same but I don't bet much, because it's obvious, we play where I have more chances to win, however, as I have said on many occasions I play slots to relax, I put them on my computer, I buy a good beer, if I can buy a hamburger and I have a very nice time, I don't care if I lose, I have little money to lose, but if I see it as fun, I don't do it to look for profits because otherwise it would stress me out, so that's my strategist based on slots, there are many players who are fans of slots, but to me In particular, I like to enjoy this game to the full.

So you tried forex? Feeling you. We all think "I've got this!" but then realize "Nah, not today." Also happened to me! I heard you played games, right? Demos are best. Who wants to lose real money when you can muck up phony money? Slots, though? Slots are dazzling and beep-beep, like a screen party. This multiplier thing is cool. You say "Woohoo" when it's high and "meh" when it's low. However, you can enjoy it with a burger and beer. Who cares about winning? For enjoyment, sometimes you can just watch things spin while eating. Cheers to spinning and sweets

Those who are capable of losing money without feeling any regret will be the ones who don't mind losing money in exchange for the chance to win bigger amounts.  When other are enjoying their games with beverages and snacks, some people do not want to mix the pleasure.  They wanted the pleasure to be solely given by the gambling games and the possible winnings they can get.  But I do not mind having fun munching snacks and drinking beverages while observing gambling games in a demo mode.  Since the pressure of risking something is not available in playing demo games thus, the essence of gambling that brings excitement and tension is not present in demo games.

Though i'm only playing to have fun, I still prefer to gamble using real money and not just by trying the demo mode. Because in playing the live game, there's an excitement every time i'm placing bets, therefore the experience is different. But anyway, this depends on what we prefer and so if you feel satisfied even just playing the demos then that's good, no risk of losing money.

Nevertheless, regardless of what's your way to entertain yourself, make sure that you have discipline. Because spending too much time and money are not a healthy habit and there's often a consequences, either good or bad.

Nope, the very term 'gambling' implies playing chance based game for money.

There is more leeway in what constitutes gambling than you give credit for. Bets are simply one form of gambling, with the main concept being the chance of a win or loss. Of course, the word "gambling" is most often applied to situations in which monetary stakes are involved
Your movie's characters were essentially "gambling" on the decisions they made, and making the wrong one may have had deadly effects. They staked something valuable - their own lives - on a result that was up in the air. That's betting in its most general form. We need to take this broader perspective into account, especially in a discussion forum

I agree. That's what we are doing here, aren't we? Taking a broader perspective into account. It makes the discussion interesting.

It's just my personal opinion that an activity where no money put at risk shouldn't be called "gambling" in the Gambling  section of the forum because it may cause a confusion here. But overall I'm open, I don't mind.

[Negotiation]

I opened account with a casino and used demo account to test the casino and the way I was winning was impressive and one of the gamblers in my locality told me that the way I winning with the demo account is the same way I will be winning with the real account. Omo!!! I didn't waste time to switched the demo to real account and I deposited $150 to see if I could win then I noticed that demo is demo and real account is real account. I lost all. Demo account is contrary to real account but you can use demo to practice the casinos.

Demo accounts are nothing but a child's play to groom you get familiar with gambling or trading as the case maybe, you cannot call it for gambling without money because you aren't yet gambling but learning, once the money is involved then betting has to take place and you can now qualify being a gambler, another thing to consider is that how will the casinos make their own money if money is not involved in gambling, how will they cope and will everyone want to bet with money? Gambling without money is no gambling at all.

I agree gambling without money has no merit everyone bets with money some small amount and some more the difference is just that much. It is not possible to invest in any business without just gambling or money. But before betting you need to manage money in slot properly you must have your own management that allows you to bring a certain balance to the game. It must be determined in advance regardless of the outcome of the game. And with a demo account, you get a complete trading experience using only virtual funds without risking any real money.

Gambling without money or anything at stake is not gambling, it's just playing. Gambling requires something to be at stake, and in this case money is the most widely used. We can also gamble by betting on things, and that's something I see a lot in my neighborhood. From the smallest for example with a pack of cigarettes or whatever, as long as there is a reward from their winnings.
That's right, this is the same as trading with a demo account. I wouldn't say trading and gambling are the same, but there are similarities when using a demo account.

[Dunamisx]

Additional to this, before you can accept the terms buying and selling to have taken place, then money or something of valuable must have been involved, when we are playing and begin to argue, it may turn a quarrel and then we continue discussing a d so on during our playing free time, money is not involved and no one is betting then which means a o gambling has taken place, but immediately any form of play involves the use of money to bet and you offer this on agreed terms and conditions, gambling has taken place already.

it's equally just trying out existing games. what is at stake is not ours but only the loan. and what we win is also not ours. just for the fun of the game. still gambling is a bet, so there is something we have to bet to win or lose. and we can still enjoy the results. use a demo account or play for free that doesn't generate or lose anything of ours, I don't think it's gambling. it's just an experiment of the game.

Really, gambling is not only for money. Gambling can be done in different ways just exchange of goods in those days. You could exchange goods to goods in the 80s. So gambling can be done through material things. I have heard that someone has gambled his wife out to his opponent. Some even gamble with their houses. When addicted gambler is planning to win back his lost, enh. He uses everything has to gamble. And go home with empty handed. But the most important of them all is money because with money you can acquire many things. Therefore, gambling with money or without money is still gambling.

Gambling without money or anything at stake is not gambling, it's just playing. Gambling requires something to be at stake, and in this case money is the most widely used. We can also gamble by betting on things, and that's something I see a lot in my neighborhood. From the smallest for example with a pack of cigarettes or whatever, as long as there is a reward from their winnings.
That's right, this is the same as trading with a demo account. I wouldn't say trading and gambling are the same, but there are similarities when using a demo account.

it's equally just trying out existing games. what is at stake is not ours but only the loan. and what we win is also not ours. just for the fun of the game. still gambling is a bet, so there is something we have to bet to win or lose. and we can still enjoy the results. use a demo account or play for free that doesn't generate or lose anything of ours, I don't think it's gambling. it's just an experiment of the game.

So perhaps if we just want to have fun, we can use a demo account so there's no risk of losing playing gambling games. I think it makes sense because by using a demo account, we will have a large balance of money and can use big bets so that if it loses, the loss will not take our money. But there is no sensation if we use a demo account because we cannot feel real wins and losses. But it can entertain those of us who don't have much money to play gambling games with big bets. But perhaps, only a few use demo accounts for fun, and the rest prefer to use real money to gamble.

Nope, the very term 'gambling' implies playing chance based game for money.

This is pretty much the answer to the question, don't know why it has reached this many pages to do that. Other replies are pretty much the same though although they're expanding the words but pretty much gives out the same point as this, the only thing more concise answer to this is probably just answering "No".

Yes, we can do that when we don't have enough money to deposit. But as you said, it reduces the sensation in the game we play, because there is nothing we feel there, if we lose it is not a defeat and if we win it is also not a victory because we use money that we cannot do anything with. As for me, I can get pleasure and sensation when I use real money, even if I lose, the sensation will be different, especially if I win, then I will feel a greater sensation of pleasure. I'm happy when I play and win, I'm sure you can feel it too.

Yes, playing for money definitely has the most effect on the senses. And no matter how many times we tell ourselves that, a good gambler, if he bets on matches, or a poker player who keeps a poker face at the table with his opponents, should not feel anything. But in any case, we are all people and not machines, so a certain percentage of players come to gambling precisely for feelings. And even if you play for $ 5, let's say you spin, then you will already feel tides of joy and annoyance when the result is determined.

I mean, who needs money when you've got, I dunno, chickens to bet? Sounds wild, but hey, I've also heard legends of dudes betting their socks, pets, and, well, even weirder things.

And about someone gambling their wife? Dude, that's messed up. Makes you think, right? Like, what were they even thinking? It's wild, like, SUPER wild. People get so lost in the game they forget stuff. But money's king, ain't it? Cash is the ultimate thingy majig because it gets you other thingies. So yeah, gamble with whatever, it’s still a risky ride down the wacky lane of chance
