Can free games be gambling?

[Oluwa-btc]

Yesterday I played free card games on the computer and had a lot of fun and it was also quite exciting. You know, I play different games: both paid and free. And sometimes, based on the fascination and the pleasure I get, I find it difficult to say which games captivate me more. But I would be interested in how you answer the question of whether free games can be considered gambling. Another way to put this is: can gambling be free? Do free games excite you as much as games that involve betting money?

Well you have the Right to choose to play any game of your choice but it doesn't mean your gambling,when it seems your gambling is when you decide to bet on the games to continue playing just as it excites you.

So free game can't be classified as gambling causeyou are on demo mode and you're spending nothing to get that fun,but some games that involves spin and staking is actually urging you to bet on that game which is gambling and yes gambling can be Free if like those casinos people come to play and have fun and leave without staking with any amounts.

Gaming is like a kind of practice to prepare and enhance ones performance towards going live games Bec I believe any game that is stakes with money are live games. But however, the fun of game is not when you stake money but when you are playing and winning that gives you the full fun in it than while staking money towards it. Immediately you stake with money it became more tensed to game on because you wouldn't feel that Joy in you since you would be subconscious of the amount you staked not to lose it entirely.

From the word "gambling" then it do really just that basically shows or means that you are really that taking up a risks on putting up your money into bet on which it would really be just that common sense
that if you are really that dealing up with free games on which simply shows that you arent risking something then this isnt that could be considered to be gambling. You arent that risking anything
on which you could really be able to get something.If we do really just that simply trying out to figure out on what gambling means then you would be able to directly point out that you arent doing
gambling on just simply playing up some free games. You wont really be getting stressed just because you do know that you cant be able to lose up something and thats always been a good thing.
Gambling thing is a different matter because on the moment that you do bet money to earn money then this is the basic concept on that it is.

I don't think so, there are many games that we can play in exchange for entertainment, such as some mobile or PC games that can provide pleasure, chess, billiards or some other types of games can also provide pleasure to someone who plays them, and I have never heard people say that it is gambling.
So far in my opinion and for me something that is called gambling is when there is one of two or more parties who will be harmed on the condition that they must lose something that is used as collateral for an agreement such as money or other things that are considered valuable.

But if it turns out that there are no rules for losing anything then I think it is clear that it is not gambling but an activity that will only take up time. Something that is called gambling is when someone is faced with two possibilities between getting or losing something in real terms.

Let's look at the meaning of gambling first, in general gambling is an activity that can harm one party. And it seems that I don't have to explain in detail from that definition, because I think we all understand it.
If it is only in the context of the game, then you are right, a game without anything at stake will only be a game that will waste time. But can the game turn into gambling? then the answer is yes.
For example, I often play the Ludo game, it is an activity that only wastes time and cannot be called gambling. However, when we put a bet in it (I usually do that with my friends  ) then the game will turn into gambling. Although the amount of bets we place is not large, it is still a form of gambling because there is something at stake in the game.

Free casino games are never termed gambling. These are the freebies that are offered by the casinos to try their platform before using any real money. Now when you risk your real and hard-earned money to win some extra money, this can be called gambling. Most of the time, these free games are provided by the casino to attract more users to the casinos. Hence, this is not gambling at all. Instead, this is a smart advertising technique, and you are the victim of it.

I agree with you that free games are not gambling because the gambler did not stake anything in order for him to win and if you loses the game, he has nothing to worry about because he has nothing to lose.

Gambling is when you stake with something and that is when the thrill and anxiety will be there, you will always like to win because you know that if you lose again over and over again, you are loai g real money, and that will make you caution yourself on the game based on how much you have lost

I can only enjoy free gambling when I play with friends. Especially when we play team card games like "de-berz". I tried more than once to play gambling in demo mode and realized that they do not bring me pleasure. Apparently the lack of excitement is due to the lack of risk. Although if I play gambling in a circle of friends, the risk is also absent, but here probably the attention is switched to the actions of each individual player and in the course of the reputational risks.

When we are not spending anything to bet, then it means we are not actually gambling because we are not going to take it very seriously. When our money is involved, we tend to be very serious and want to keep making profits by all means. Gambling is more of altitude than the amount we intend to win. Once we are set to gamble and make profits their are so many things we need to put into consideration for us to make  money for ourselves if not, we might not even end up winning. The game of luck and choice is always right before us to make decisions that could make us lose funds and win. Once money is never involved then that zeal to bet and win would be less because we are not taking any risk.

Yes of course, I would also say that the example you gave is correct, meaning that the first concept of gambling is when one party is actually harmed, and the second is that whatever type of game it is, in the end it can indeed be a gambling game if there is an agreement from several parties to implement a betting system in it (as you exemplified with the ludo game).

So the conclusion is that all types of games are very likely to be considered gambling but it also depends, in the sense that it depends on the wishes of the people who play it regarding the agreement on the rules of the consequences of the winning and losing system that they want to apply to the game.

If we do not spend money on bets, but spend our time, then we can say that this is also a kind of gambling, because it is known that time is money. When we play for free, we try, for example, to learn something or pass the next level. And we can spend a lot of time on this, but still not achieve our goals. And if we spend a lot of time just like that, then this is equivalent to spending a lot of money. After all, we could use this wasted time to earn money, for example. And this is only one consideration out of several that tells us that gambling can very well be free.

Free games, or playing games for free can't be considered as gambling, and this is because from my personal understanding of the word "gambling", when playing a game, there have to be something at stake, which you the player stand to lose, and there also have to be a target, something to act as reward just incase you win, in the absence of this two things, playing games can't be gambling but simply playing a game.

In the past, I used to believe that every time we play games even with friends where nothing is at stake, it's gambling, but over time, and with experiences, I come to realize what I explained above, you have to stake something valuable to consider which ever game you are playing as gambling, and there have to also be reward for winning as well.

I cant fully agree with it, although time is money but playing a game where money is not involved is not gambling (at least for me).
If time is money then it is connected to gambling then anything we do in life are all gambling.
For example you were born and you have a talent for playing football, you play  it, practice it and even joining a club to improve your skills, do you take it as gambling too?
The same if you like to write or to draw, you do it everyday because you love it and you can achieve something from this hobby, is it also gambling?
I dont think so...

        -      When you say free games, it's really just free games, which is no different from playing ML or any games on the PlayStation or Mario games. Or if it's gaming, that's just the demo games first so you can get familiar with the game.

Maybe the game can also become a real game if you have a friend to bet with; in this scenario, it can be a real gamble. Meaning it depends on us.

I never enjoy free games. Because there is no relation with money. Moreover, a major requirement of gambling is that there be money involved. If I had to experience gambling with a demo account, it would never feel like gambling to me. So free games and demo games seem the same to me. I think every gambler thinks pretty much the same way. Playing money less or free games seems like a waste of time to me. I will never find excitement in these type of gambling. Playing such games is not gambling in my opinion. Because I have no fear of losing money.

While I definitely think that free games can be exciting, I don't think they can ever be considered gambling like most people conventionally understand it to be. Gambling means that you have something at risk, but free tokens that you are given in a play environment that have no monetary value are meaningless and will cause all sorts of unexpected reactions. If you are playing to win, but another new player comes in with their freely assigned chips, then essentially you never know if your opponent is going to throw away their freebie roll after roll until it evaporates. Whereas in actual gambling people put a bare minimum of logic into their actions and are trying at the very least to preserve their money, it's really not comparable.

You're not far from the truth, some of the casino gambling websites uses that as attractions and also a test run method in their website, its a same vain whereby casino gambling websites gives a bonus, so I know that the reason why casino platform do such is to get traffic, let state this categorically, their is no gambling casino website that intend to do anything free, they have a motive of doing anything they feel like doing because they know that they most benefit in anything they do, I will say that their own strategies they applied to get customers, I think for now this is new initiative.

I have always said it that casinos never give anything for free, for whatever they give a player that they can not take back from that player, they will definitely take that thing (plus more) back from another player.
You see all this bonuses, promotions and rewards, there isn't anyone that comes without strings attached to it, online casinos are more and more of getting new gamblers, while they are also at the same time, doing everything to keep their current gamblers, and even wake up the inactive ones to start gambling as well.

I've read about a land based casino where if you win a huge amount of money, they would literally give you a vip suite in the casino's hotel area to lounge for free, this is to keep the gambler close and to constantly draw him in to gamble, this the casino will do until they are sure that they've regained back all the money the player won from them, then they can then ask the player to go home and take some really proper rest.

Every casino have a strategy that they use to take back from gamblers, what the casino has previously given to the gambler either in form of gifts and so on.

Free games is really just that good for the sake of trying out to test out something but in speaking about being entertaining or having that enjoyment then you are really just that basically talking about free games.
There's no really having that fun if we do speak about into those free games on which they arent that risking something. It wont really be that can be called gambling in the first place just because
you arent that risking something on which we know that it isnt really that gambling in the first place.  When it comes to thrill then there's no way that you could be able to feel out on dealing with free games.
As long you arent that risking money then it cant be called gambling. You would really be able to tell the main difference with just that making use of your own common sense.

Free to play games cannot be considered as gambling because here you are not risking any money, you are playing various games just for entertainment. If you were risking money or if you were playing games with bets or thinking about doubling money, I would consider it gambling. Demo gambling can be free if you play demo gambling on gambling platforms. Free games can never create excitement like a human gambling because whenever you gamble for money on any gambling platform your excitement is 100% and when you play free games your excitement is not 10% you are just free to spend time. I also think playing the game won't be much fun no matter how much you say it.
