Without money, does it still qualify as gambling?

[DaNNy001]

This whole predicting a possible outcome on games to win some kind of rewards, either money or some gadgets is a marketing strategy used by many casino to actually lure their customers to predict the games for free and maybe eventually putting their money in their next time prediction and its very effective in Africa because most people just get interested by these kinds of free offers but if am to classify this act I wouldn't called it gambling but a promo on gambling.

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

I'm sure every user here has a different opinion on your question.
If in my opinion even though you make and give predictions to win prizes without the money you give to bet or you can call it free then it is still included in the scope of gambling.
You yourself make predictions and risk them in a free betting contest with the expectation of winning when the predictions you make are correct, whereas gambling is an activity that risks something for the purpose of getting some profit.
So in conclusion, even though the predictions that you give without spending a penny, because there are prizes that can be obtained, it is a gambling bet.

Well, I respect that opinion as well. But talking about gambling and that kind of activity can be considered as gambling when the is money involved when there is betting happening. While in the situation with DSTV is not gambling but just a sort of making fun of the people who is also a fan of predicting the future. Might not see yet any betting involve but was not sure how it runs in a few days because if there is a casino involved here where to claim your prizes, not that far that this will become gambling as betting will possibly start.

Prediction is one of the main tools of gambling. and many sites have prediction quiz on their site where you can win some money by making correct prediction without betting any amount.  It can also be called a part of gambling. but since there is no possibility of financial loss and no huge amount of income can be earned from here and there is no risk, it does not fulfill gambling requirement on the other hand. therefore, earning money from any place without stake money cannot be termed as complete gambling

This view is quite analytical and I think what op has asked is part of gambling even though the site is to lure more people who don't want to directly bet with money or something of value in betting. When you visit the site and make such prediction that requires accuracy of 6 games you are invariably expecting a reward for such emotional exercise, that to me makes it gambling. Take for instance in more critical analysis, you go to work for your employer and at the month end or weekend you expect to be paid for your labour, such expectation comes because you have worked for it. So in the case of the op discussion, when you make prediction then you are gambling the outcome of something that you are not sure of unlike when you have laboured for your employer and sure to receive salary or wages at the end.

I checked what is gambling 



I found out that the focus is the end result which is the reward. When you have invested your time and emotion in expectation of a reward IMO it can be regarded as gambling. Moreover, non gamblers won't visit such site as they will also see it as gambling

Gambling might not be necessarily played with money alone. Somebody can use anything of value to gamble. I have seen people gamble with their belongings such as clothing or even food items. For me, it is gambling when you are risking something of value. So when nothing is at stake, it is not gambling. The issue you raised OP could be called a giveaway because it is only one party that is giving or losing something of value. In my country, we call it "try your luck". Even religious institution that frowns at gambling organizes these giveaways to assist members that are not well-to-do. It is also advisable to look into the laws concerning gambling in your country to get the definition of gambling. This is because different nations define or see gambling from different perspectives.

If you value your time and effort with equivalent money then it can be considered gambling because despite you're not using money directly on your picks, You are wasting time on choosing picks instead of using it on jobs or side hustles that will give you extra cash. There's no guarantee that your pick will so technically you are still gambling your time on this betting prediction unless you literally doesn't have job at all.

In my opinion, this is the same as gambling because there is a part where we make predictions, it's just that we won't lose anything if our guess turns out to be wrong, but it will actually be profitable if it's right.
This is like an event that has been held at several bookmakers that I have ever known, and participating in it is quite fun especially if we can get a prize, because everything that is free entry and can get real money is what many people like because there is no risk in participating, also the emotions involved are not the same as when we use real money in gambling, and both give pleasure if we can win the prize.

[Saisher]

Gambling is when you're losing and winning money, you cannot consider a platform a gambling platform without these two elements, but it's a good site to check how good you are in predicting the games on that platform, if you're a newbie you can start on this site to prepare yourself in predicting the outcomes of the game.
Casinos have this in the form of free spins, and before you can bet it's better to try it on something where you can feel how the game is being played and how can you time your betting or employ a method that you learned or developed.

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

Yes and no.
It should still be called as one since you are gambling the free funds/bet that is given to your account. On the other hand, it should not be, as in particular, you haven't used your own pocket to gamble. What I'm trying to say is that it depends to particularity if it should be considered as gambling or not.

Is this thread a kind of advertisement? Do you have any connection with the website?

For me I have a doubt how it can be work because asll I know is that money and gambler are siblings in gambling.
We all know that in The word ( Gambling) it means money is involve and we can not call gambling if the organization didn't allow users or players pit their bet do that they can win. Because Gambling is based on money not anything.
And also if theres person whant to give you an amount  because you are winning for your prediction and you didn't give your money as a bet then all I can say is that is not a gambling it's prediction with fun.

[Peanutswar]

All things related to a bet still consider gambling in this part you are taking a risk to.play gambling wether it's a free bet or not it's just saying that you are willing to take a particular thing just to win the game. Even though it's a free bet game you still considering a bet to win the game.But still ideal to have a bet of real.money gambling is nothing if there's no money involved for entertainment and satisfaction.

[Finestream]

If you are not wagering any money or reputation, then you are not gambling IMO. There has to be something on the line. What you are trying to send players to is a prediction game. They might be fun to participate in but should not be considered "gambling".

True. It won’t be considered gambling just by predicting the future’s uncertainty. There should be something at stake that you will get as a reward or something that you will lose if you fail. If you are just simply predicting without money or any something of value involved, that won’t fall on gambling category. IMHO, gambling cannot occur without the presence of money.

I haven't heard that website before but I think betting without any money involved is not considered gambling. Gambling means to play a game with stakes involved and if there is not money or anything that has a value involved, I don't think it can be called a gambling. But there's a case that we have a bonus called free bet which you can bet without a stake and can won a specific amount, These are sometimes comes from deposit bonuses, welcome promotions or gift from the casino but It is certainly a limited bet. I guess the stake on that free bet is the number of times you can use it and the limitation it has.

[jrrsparkles]

I can't able to access the site as some others mentioned so I have no idea about this particular site.

However about the context of the title if you're not betting your money it's not really a gambling but sometimes it depends because we may took a life decision which can turn in one or other which is a gamble so it depends on what we are talking.

About this site, if they are giving away rewards for wagering no money still its a gambling.

Yes, it's gambling, without any doubts. By the definitions above, it falls under the first point: to play games of chance for money. Even when you aren't risking money (second point), you are playing a game which involves a chance of being rewarded with real money, so you are involved in a gambling activity.

If a person qualifies to have to play a game or a bet in a game of chance is the responsibility of that person,the prediction is something that we do not know Exactly because it depends on many factors, and one of these factors is Rarely located by people who by their luck and by their intuition can get wins , but there is no way to be able to do it Successfully but to try, play and play to see if by pure probability of trying so much one of these Bursts,it is the possibility that I see, but if there is no money and you Continue to place bets, you can, but it is not correct.

It is funny to think that most of us here had experience gambling but does not really know what gambling is.  Just an easy search on the internet can tell us the difference between gambling and playing and yet many of us here can't differentiate the two.  There are already many replies that tells the indicators whether a situation is gambling or not and yet many still stand on their belief and think that is gambling is all about predictions and reward.  Please take note, without any stake, an action cannot be considered a gambling.

Gambling Law and Legal Definition
A person engages in gambling if he stakes or risks something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance or a future contingent event not under his control or influence, upon an agreement or understanding that he or someone else will receive something of value in the event of a certain outcome.

In the case of@OP, a player don't have to stake anything in order to win a prize.  So a game without any stake from the player's part cannot be considered gambling both in technical and legal meaning.

Please take notice of the word "bet" on your screenshot.

I think it is still gambling, because the random chances of getting the prize or not and also, even though one is not putting any money at stake, one can feel the thrill and get used to it anyways.

It reminds me some small game houses from the town I grew up, they offered some free spins on they small slots for their costumers, so they would get hooked up to it.

So this is likely an advertisement campaign of some sort.

Not really that gambling because you arent gambling anything at all since it is really for free.On the sense that we are playing something like betting or guessing out some outcome then it would pertain
to gambling activity but in overall since you arent really risking some real money or amount then it cant be called gambling at all.

Without money it cant be called gambling because you arent risking something for you to play and win something for free.It is really that not something common on looking or seeing these kind of
stuffs on which there are things which given out some opportunity for you to win without needing money which is great to participate if you do have the chance.
