Without money, does it still qualify as gambling?

[Slow death]

regardless of whether you or other people put money in, the game will still be a gamble, you can go to a casino and watch your friends play, and when they ask you where you were with your friends? you will answer that you were with your friends at the casino, but you at the casino did not play anything, but just for the simple fact that you are at the casino you have to say that you were at the casino.

anything you do that involves physical or mental competition that has specific rules are considered games, even without money you can play, have you never played cards with friends? Have you ever played any computer games? any game in which to win depends on luck or is considered a gamble, when you bet on a soccer game even if you don't put money, you just bet with your friend that the team will win, then you are betting on the gamble

now if people played gamble without money then casinos would not exist, we would not see many addicts in gambling and many things would not exist, and gamble despite having a negative part also have a positive part, many casinos sponsor leagues and teams and contribute to the growth of tourism in a country and also pay taxes to governments so casinos are welcome but people need to moderate in games

If you are not wagering any money or reputation, then you are not gambling IMO.

Hmm... I would not be so sure about that. What about gambling using things other than money? Lets say for example: time.

If you are forced to invest a specific amount of time into something, then obviously you are using that time as a bet input. So instead of investing that time into your job to earn money, you are investing it into your bet.

I think that might be an unexplored, interesting concept, don't you? Lets say for example such a time gambling casino exists. And the money you can win by gambling your time comes from ad revenue. The advertisers are interested in advertising on that casino website because the casino forces the gamblers to spend a specific amount of their time there. This means they are also forced to take in the ads during their time in that 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?

You can compare it to games and rounds in this forum, do you consider most of the games there gambling? Whatever you're answer is that's the answer to your question.

In addition since you're not putting your money and also you're not going to lose your money even if your prediction does not go according to plan then you can't consider it as gambling it's more like a giveaway where only those with the correct predictions gets to win the price nothing else.

I've seen a site like this before and it's much better than this one but unfortunately I forgot the name, but I've registered and bet without using capital or money but I can get money, well the wins are like points that can be exchanged for money, but not much the money that is found there, after all this system works basically to train its users to gamble so when they feel they are mature of course they will confidently go to sports betting sites and deposit money to bet.

I just saw it from the outside but I will think of this site as a training ground to practice our skills in predicting football sports betting, guessing scores and others but it seems interesting registering on this site to know more about how the system works, maybe I'll try it later looking for experience There's nothing wrong with trying it right, as long as it's free and doesn't require money to get started

if you don't have anything at stake then you can't call it gambling, for example free money from a faucet, it can't be called gambling but when you get money for free you will definitely use that money to gamble and it's like bait

Apart from that, when I opened the site, I saw that we were directed to Betking, it seems that these two sites are interconnected and are one of the gambling sites originating from the African continent

Yes, a game can be considered gambling if it involves a bet where it could be a property, a material thing, or any condition. Anything that involves a bet where there is a competition happening could be a gambling. It can be situational or conditional gambling. As far as we can remember, we're used to creating conditional gambling games when we were a kid. One example is, the last to eat will wash the dishes, or something like that.

could be called a giveaway or something similar to that? I mean it's basically the same thing as some of the gambling sites/sportsbooks do on games and rounds where you have a chance of winning money or free bets just by predicting something without spending any money.

^I think this is the correct answer.
Something like a giveaway that you can play for free and win real money but only for those who will have high points on predicting the sports.
So to your question, if that is gambling, I think it is YES, why?
This would still be considered a form of gambling because there is an element of chance involved in predicting the scores of the matches. Although no money is being exchanged to enter the contest, the potential prize of N50 million is a huge amount of money, which makes it similar to other forms of gambling where people risk money in the hopes of winning a larger amount. That is only my opinion.

I disagree, as long as you don't stake anything it is not gambling.  You are not gambling with your friend when you watch him gambling, you are accompanying your friend while he is gambling.  There is a huge difference when you are putting stake on something with your friends and watching your friend gamble.

anything you do that involves physical or mental competition that has specific rules are considered games, even without money you can play, have you never played cards with friends? Have you ever played any computer games? any game in which to win depends on luck or is considered a gamble, when you bet on a soccer game even if you don't put money, you just bet with your friend that the team will win, then you are betting on the gamble

So in sports, are you saying that athletes are gambling when they are playing their games?  I never heard any commentator say that team A is gambling against team B rather I always heard that Team A is playing against Team B. And on the card game, when you are playing without any stake, it is considered playing and not gambling, that is the reason why you already stated "played cards with friends" not gambling with cards with your friend. 

now if people played gamble without money then casinos would not exist, we would not see many addicts in gambling and many things would not exist, and gamble despite having a negative part also have a positive part, many casinos sponsor leagues and teams and contribute to the growth of tourism in a country and also pay taxes to governments so casinos are welcome but people need to moderate in games

People who do not put any stake while playing a game in a casino is labeled.. just playing and not gambling.

I visited the website as I was curious to see how this works and how the platform can make profit from this and can't say I was surprised to see they are linked to Betking. I think this answers my questions!
BetKing has been flagged and red tagged for their shady activities and I wouldn't waste my time on this website too even if there is no money at stake.
Regarding your question, imo, it's not gambling since there is nothing mainly money) at stake.

[Agbe]

Op have you or did you try the links and win the game or the prediction before coming here to tell other to check the link? My thought on the matter is, if you stake the game without money before you withdraw the wins, you will pay or deposit a specific amount which will enable a you to withdraw. Although I have not test the system which the op is trying to say but when I tried link it is not working .

[maydna]

I like the site's look because before we enter the site, we are given the option to read the ToS or go directly to the site. Meanwhile, I went straight to the site to take a look inside.

If it's just predictions and we play with predictions without using money, it's not gambling. But it's like the Futuur site because it's a prediction site. I didn't check the account and just browsed from outside the site. But apart from that site, a pop-up window redirected the site to the betting site. Maybe the owners of both sites are the same.

When you become so good at predicting it will eventually lead you to gamble, and that's where the gambling habit started you start making free spins and free rolls or free bets, and when you are hitting it right then you become curious if you are also good and you began to use real money.
But if you just use it as a hobby and you did not eventually lead you to use real money then it's not gambling at all but the temptation is always for you to use real money.

I am familiar with superpicks and have tried it a couple of times. I think over the world cup, they had programs for the tournament and as the seasons run in the leagues, there are still selected games that are put out there for lovers of sports to predict the outcome and they get to reward the accurate or near accurate prediction.

That is technically not gambling. Why is that,'its because you've got nothing to lose'. That's gambling, you've got to have something to put forward as your stake and should be valued to the third party.

Supperpicks is just a prediction and win program. A give back there subscribers.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gambling is characterized either by staking something to win or by losing something you have staked. It's characterized by uncertainty. IMO, that's not a real gamble. Real gambling means you are giving something up to win something, and even in the process, you are not sure if you will be able to win or not. So in this case, what you are doing is just partially gambling but has a lot of real gambling characteristics.

[Vaskiy]

When you're predicting the outcome of some incident/sports/game then it is gambling. Only difference here is the money involvement which makes the gamble risk free. With money involved gambling the wrong prediction washes our money whereas with this kind of gambling we can enjoy as the win could reward and loss doesn't affect us.

This is functional for specific part/regions and I'm sure this is kinda promotion and later slowly we can see the platform taking away the free prediction and winning money through it.

Do we need to look at the general meaning of gambling in some online dictionary to answer your question?   I guess many replies above has answered your question already. When you are not risking something valueable in a game of chance, you are not gambling. What you are referring to here is not gambling obviously, we can say it as free quiz with prize or free contest with prize. Something similar that you can see in this crypto industry is the Majestic 7 promotion in Fortunejack where players predict goal scorers on 7 different matches to win free bet and $10k grand prize.

Checking out the link and shows up that;
Correctly predict the score of 6 soccer matches to win up to N100 million!

I did make up some research about the currency which is Nigerian Naira (correct me if im wrong) which
they do give out 215,544.27  in USD with the current conversion if you do able to hit up 6 soccer matches
but of course i havent read up the entire terms about it.

About the question if its still gambling? No its not since you arent risking something.
I dont know on whats the catch on this one.

[aioc]

It's not gambling it's a site where you can practice your skill in predicting games if you're not a gambler and you are hitting 100% prediction you will be tempted if you see the amount you could have won if you bet with real money.
I don't use a prediction site because I'll be disappointed if I'm good and there's no money involved.
It's more challenging if you bet with real money because it just proves that you are confident in your bets.

[Darker45]

I haven't heard of it, but the way you explain it, it doesn't appear gambling to me. If you all you need to do is predict, then you are not gambling at all. If you do not pay or if you don't buy a ticket or some kind of token that is convertible to money, then it isn't gambling. You are not risking anything. It is like a free raffle or contest or a giveaway.

I remember the Bitcoin price prediction game of El duderino_ before. Participants don't have to pay anything. All they have to do is predict. If they win, they will receive Bitcoin. That wasn't gambling. This is the same.

[xSkylarx]

If there is no money or anything like your things or stuff is not involved, I think it is not gambling, as it should be having money or other stuff like a car or furniture to bet on as you are risking it just to win money. Also, I've seen the website that you mentioned, but I can't really tell if it is legit or not because, first, how come they can have pot money if they don't have money coming for their users? It is too good to be true, right? so i have doubts on it
