Without money, does it still qualify as gambling?

[Supreemo]

As long as there's a risk involved and it is some kind of prediction, win or lose type of games, then I would always consider it as a form of gambling.
Sometimes even if it's not directly money as long as it have a value and it is being risk then yes it is gambling.

What do you consider the risk to be about if there is no money at stake? Every single game is a win-or-lose type of game, but not every game in the world is a gambling game or should be considered one unless there is something staked on it and I don't see OP mentioning anywhere that there is some requirement for it.

If there is nothing of value at stake, it cannot be considered gambling at all, and risk is only when you have something at stake which you can potentially lose if you don't make a correct prediction.

Well, there what he was able to understand is that there are times when it is scary to place bets with money, but that is normal only at the Beginning, then later that fear is lost,the Important thing is that if you place sports bets you have to be clear that here the greatest Responsibility is on the part of the bettor, because there are only two possibilities in general, and here things must be fully Fulfilled, if you know enough about a sport and if it is considered a fan help,but if it is not, and it is left Carrying by the emcoines or by what the rest says is like doing complemtante gambling.

well, that's because it is on the safer side of gambling without losing anything, but i prefer to call that as just a game for free since you didn't have to risk that much so winning or losing doesn't matter too much and on the brighter side, if ever you won then you will still earn. it's not that we have different perspective on different aspects of this world, but for me every decision you've made are always carrying risk, even if we say that you are playing it safe at the end of the spectrum. i understand that the consequences of losing this time isn't that much heavy compared to when you are actually putting in some amount but a risk is still a risk that's why i just prefer to call it a game than gamble.

No. It's called a game. You play, you win or you lose but you didn't really lose anything physically. When I was a kid my cousins use to play cards and whoever loses will fix the cards, shuffle them, and distribute them again. If you are lazy, you won't like doing it.
Did we gamble? No. We just played a game of cards and we didn't actually lose or gain anything. That is why our relatives older than us are just letting us do it because there's no money involved.
Sometimes we forget that the games used in gambling are actually just simple games before without money on the line. Now, when we see them we say it's gambling.

A game only becomes gambling if it is accompanied by a bet, it can be money, things, gold or something else. But like you said the games used for gambling are not considered gambling if there is no reward when a player wins.

      In fact, any game can be a gamble depending on what the players want what they bet on, just like playing basketball, our only bet is that the losing team will give soft drinks to the winners, there is no money involved but conditions just.

What is the fun in gambling when rewards and money are not involved, and what makes gambling to be gambling is the stake ability and expected outcome and reception of those winning.

So I can't play at any casino if it doesn't allow me to stake on the others since we know the destinations those games are communing

When there is no money involved , I think the only people who can have fun are those who have always played the play station, because when you played there you couldn't win, now on PS5 yes , there are many ways to monetize, that's good, and I I respect every point of view and what they think in each part of the world, but I am happy and it motivates me more when I bet with money involved because that risk that there is makes you have emotions, but the Important thing is to know how to play very well and to know each something that you have because if you start playing with money and without knowing it you will lose and it is not the idea either , the idea is that you can try to win.

We must return this to the notion of gambling which involves betting in a game. So in general if a game is without betting then it cannot be said to be gambling in my opinion, because it goes back to the basic understanding of gambling itself. And I agree that gambling carries risks, and if there is nothing at stake then what risks will we get, because we don't bet anything and will not lose anything from that game.
However, if it is based on personal opinion, of course there will always be different opinions from one to another.

We still have some people who play only the demo games that do not require them to make any deposits and that can be classified under this topic of discussion since the stake doesn't involve balance deduction even though those games are played in a casino.

But then to some other players, the potential winning rewards are their motivation, so playing those games that don't involve real stake and win seems to be a waste of time to them.

Gambling on the sense it would be called on how its been done since this one involves betting or choosing on a particular team/player, the thing that differs on this one is that it is completely risks free because

you arent betting something like money or really doesnt have the risks which we do particularly know that this isnt how gambling works. The action been made is pertaining about gambling/betting but since
its completely free and there's no money or fiat involved or risks which you are really that completely free from risks then its not gambling at all.

Just like on what been said that it is unlikely or not really that common to see to have this kind of offering on where letting everyone do make out bets and have the chance on winning something.
For sure there's always a catch in the end of the line because there would be no business would be launching up such promotion if they wont really be getting something in return.

Yes, it really is a waste of time, but on many occasions I have played for real money at once and it has not gone well for me and what I have done is lose money, it happens to me a lot when they are games that I have not played. never played, I don't know, but one day happened to me with KENO, it's a game that if you don't know it and you start playing just for the sake of playing , you lose money , and I thought I wasn't going to lose anything, but things got out of hand and I started to losing and losing, until I said no more, and I stopped, that money that I lost in that game because I didn't understand how it is, I didn't get it back , I started playing the games that I did know.

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

I have never heard or seen your website before. But as you said here I tried to sign up but failed. The country code of my country is not given here due to which I could not create an account here.

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

Since there is no money gambling, I wouldn't consider it gambling at first. But whenever you make predictions from this website and participate in gambling with those predictions, I will consider it as gambling. Because from here a strong desire to participate in gambling will awaken.

I am not saying that playing some few free games is bad but for the fact that free games are effective ways to pass time from excessive loses, because when you have gamble for a while and have lost consistently, the best available option is to cut off your staking and if possible option in for free games.

But we must know that not all casinos offer free games in form of demo games that give players the real experience of playing such games and in most cases what their do is to give less exciting and fun games as free games and only a lot to good games to the bet category.

So the best none staking games still remains the known traditional games that we can play peer 2 peer such as ludo, whots and the rest.

There are a lot of youtubers who play casino with not real money and they have a lot of money. I don't know to think about that too. It's similar situation.

[Broadanbig]

From what I can tell, gambling goes inline some risk and that risk involves something on the line for it. So therefore, when gambling, one must place something of good importance for stake. If must gamble, then one must present something of huge importance to gamble. So I believe using money alone does not cover as gambling. One can put in place  anything of value or precious assets if one must gamble because that alone shows the gambling spirit.

If there is nothing put at stake, then it is not worth the name gamble. For gambling involves a high level risk taking venture.

I still don't know why you wouldn't consider it as gambling because money was not involved as first. What about in a case whereby you were given a bonus to play some games and you finally make winnings, would that be consider as gambling? Anything that involves betting, I do consider it as gambling because it can involve anything to make money. There are gambling that do make bet on there horses, animals to make money. If it involves betting then I do see it as gambling.

There are a lot of youtubers who play casino with not real money and they have a lot of money. I don't know to think about that too. It's similar situation.

For YouTubers, it's a different case bud, YouTubers are influencers, even with gambling with fake money and all that, they are still getting paid, they get paid for those how many viewers they got in that video, and the Casino they promoted still pays them too, so in real sense, they are basically not gambling, but only promoting the casino as that is what they are hired to do.

I have had a lot of stories about YouTubers using fake money to gamble and win a lot but then we can't prove how real those game seasons are because since those videos are created to advertise one casino or the other, they may manipulate games just favour the influencer during video session.

But while playing those games by other gamblers it may become more difficult to win and that is why we are warned to be careful in what type of YouTube videos we watch and follow.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

Yes of course, gambling involves chances of one occurrence over the other or  series of occurrences with a reward if it turns out in your favor. Its all evident in this situation. the fact that its free does not negate that you're kept in  suspense and  made to do  some calculated brain works to come up with your prediction in anticipation of the cash reward. In my  own opinion about the free nature,I see it as a tool that is used to pull traffic of gamblers  to Betking which I believe its behind the project. The rules may change when they're done pulling the desired traffic. it still has link to the official Betking platform for those who want to bet with real money. its clearly Gambling.

if the YouTuber has collaborated with the casino, usually the winnings on that account have been set from the casino. and it will show the success of the YouTuber by generating lots of wins from the casino. it's solely to attract new players more interested, although I'm sure some are already aware and know that it's just a victory set.
YouTubers also sometimes benefit from the referral code that they share through the videos they upload.

[serjent05]

well, that's because it is on the safer side of gambling without losing anything,

And if you don't take anything, it isn't called gambling.  I would also love to win in gambling without losing anything but obviously gambling platform is created as a business so one way or another, the platform will win if we keep on playing in the long run.

but i prefer to call that as just a game for free since you didn't have to risk that much so winning or losing doesn't matter too much and on the brighter side, if ever you won then you will still earn.

I greatly agree, I had been saying that a game isn't gambling if there is no stake from the player.

it's not that we have different perspective on different aspects of this world, but for me every decision you've made are always carrying risk, even if we say that you are playing it safe at the end of the spectrum. i understand that the consequences of losing this time isn't that much heavy compared to when you are actually putting in some amount but a risk is still a risk that's why i just prefer to call it a game than gamble.

I think it is dependent on the situation if risk is present or not.  In this case, there is a free participation and a possible reward.  There is no risk involved here so I agree, that the situation given by @OP is only a game, not a gambling.

Not sure if you are contradicting yourself here or I just failed to get your point! You said you don't consider it gambling because no money is at risk but then you said it's gambling. This is confusing!
Anyway, I read the last few replies and am a bit surprised that no one talked about the affiliation of this website with the shady casino BetKing! Not sure if no one have noticed it (although I warned about it in an previous reply) or people just don't care!

That could be the possible realities of things at this moment, because I have hard from multiple sources that those winning on YouTube are manipulated just to attract players and making them thinks that it is easy to win in those casino and also make a plur just to get players trapped at whatever point, since the system is the games she'd by influencers differs from the real games on the casinos.

This is why, it only those casinos with less reputation and low revenues generation means to engage the services of a YouTuber when the casino reputation is exacerbated.
