Would people still gamble if there was no money, only fun?

[beveryu778]

Sometimes I think people play more for the feeling than for the win. Even a small win can make me happy. But wait, if gambling gave only fun and no money, would people still play for that feeling? I personally will stop...and you?

People gamble for big win. It creates a lot of excitement which leads to a lot of joy. When you gamble where there is no chance of winning money, then no one will gamble with money. There are many online games that can be enjoyed for free. So why would anyone play games with money where there is no extra benefit? Everyone says that gambling is fun, but the intention is to win big money. That's the truth. So if there is no chance of getting money from gambling, I myself will not gamble, this is true

I wouldn't gamble without money either, because I don't find the game particularly interesting. Maybe I'd play poker with friends on holidays because you can bluff, have fun, and read each other's minds, but nothing more. Besides poker, I'm not interested in playing other games. For example, slots don't offer any real excitement in pressing a button and expecting to win play chips that can't be spent on anything. Even sports betting has at least some merit, like playing a full season of your favorite sport and competing against other players to see who's the best and most skilled.

If there was no money involved in gambling am sure there won't be any age limits to gamble, also gambling may just be done as pure sports and occasionally because we would be busy seeking out other ways to earn money to live a good life.
Am sure there won't be any need for bans too because it doesn't pose any serious concern nor does it lead to addictions and if you were to gamble for fun it would definitely be with close nit family members and associates than with strangers.
Am sure there wouldn't be any online platforms or innovative designs that are much around today and that means gambling just for fun without money involved is not interesting.

Gambling requires you risking something of value in expectation of a better reward. If there is no risk involved, no money involved, just fun, then it is safe to call it a game. There are lots of games like that people play for fun and has no risk. You just have to lose and laugh over it.

So to answer your question, yes people will still play for fun (in this case, I prefer to use the word play and not gamble). Maybe this time, minors will no longer be restricted because it is totally harmless now.

A lot of people are playing mobile or computer games where they place 'Tokens' to bet on their matches.  There can be Gambling with no monetary reward but simply entertainment.  There are people who play Poker with their friends with out trying to get rich out of it.  Many play Poker with only chips and no Money.

In fact.  Are there not games which simulate Casinos that get a good amount of players a month?  People who bet only for the monetary reward will be frustrated, mad at the end of the day when they probably lost every Dollar to the House.  If you go to have some fun, some entertainment, you will be a much happier Gambler.

Gambling creates a lot of excitement that leads to pleasure. No one wants to gamble in a place where there is no possibility of money. And the attractive things of gambling are that money can be won here in a short time. And because money is involved in gambling, age limits and restrictions have been set in gambling. And because of the greed of money, it easily becomes an addiction for any person. And because of addiction, many people are willing to take risks again in the hope of a reward even after losing repeatedly. But as you said, if there is no money in the game of pairs, will it be such a joyful and interesting game? In this case, I think that if there is no money in gambling, it will not work as much as an addiction. Because most of those who gamble gamble to get rid of unemployment or poverty. And if money is stopped, the number of people who gamble for money will decrease.

For me the word gambling is when a game is now involved with money, but if people will still play games yes 100% people will do and still do play games without the involvement of any kind of money but however in my opinion it’s best fun when their is competition and a little bit of tension. So gambling would not be a word if there is no involvement of any kind of bet whether it’s cash or something of value.

Yes I will still continue to play, because gambling plays alot of roles in our lives but some people only sees it as a means of making money which is a wrong perception.

Let's look at it from the aspect of fun and recreational purpose, when being stressed out and you feel like easing yourself, that little time you engage yourself in gambling how do you feel, more refreshed than ever, what about smartness intellectually, keeping your brain always at alart and active, which make it improve focus also the ability of solving problems is more most especially among adults.

When you gamble, it increases your level of socialization and exposure to meet new people, helps you reduce loneliness, connect with friends most of all reduces one being isolated.

Gambling also helps you develop your skills, because continuous practice  make you to avoid and be conscious of any kind of risk you come across.

So, it will be a game simply for play chips, which you simply need to earn more than others, a simple competition for fun, so to speak. Honestly, I can't imagine how anyone could play this for long, because I'd get bored on the first evening. Even if I wanted to play, it would be a modern computer game, and I wouldn't waste time playing for play chips. I'm not saying everyone won't be as interested in it as I am, but I think player traffic will drop by 99%, if not more, which would mean almost no one is interested, since without money, it would be boring.

There are two categories of people: some gamble for pleasure, others for earnings. And for those who play for pleasure, nothing will change in this case - they will continue to play, unlike people like you who play for profit, the meaning of the game disappears.

I can't really tell about others but I know I do gamble for the win but some people say they gamble for fun and if that is true then they can still continue gambling even if there is no more win or no winning is attach but as for me I can not continue gambling if the win is been withdrawn from it because I don't see the need of me gambling when I won't get anything in return even though the winning is not guarantee but at least there is hope that I might or will definitely win and if they will remove win then they should also remove money so that we don't do it with our money don't you think so?

As far as I'm a lover of football I must gamble, after all the money it's not easy to make. Honestly, there are gamblers that normally gamble to get fun only, although the truth is that they are few, but even as that that's how every gamblers supposed to gamble, because winning it's a very big thing to get in gambling. However, as long as the fun and entertainment is there, I wouldn't mind because already I normally gamble with the amount I can afford to lose.

If there is no reward to a win after a bet then it wouldn't be considered as gambling anymore it would be seen as an ordinary game played by people.Money is what bring most gamblers back to a casino,money is viewed as a motivator to most gamblers.Though most people won't stop gambling if there was no money given as a reward to a lucky winner,most gamblers are just after the aspect of being entertained by their favorite games,just like a poker lover would always return back to a casino for the sake of competition amongst players and being entertained by the game.In my own opinion,if there was no money then gambling would be boring.

[batang_bitcoin]

That's what play money is for and as well as the demo. If there are options like that, people are still going to gamble but only for that sake. We can't remove the fact that every gambler wants to have that chance of winning some money and that's why they'd do it. But if you come to that point that this is what fun you're calling, then it's best for you to do it at the free time. Otherwise, there is no more fun in it when you can also have no chance of winning a bit, right?

Honest speaking the main reason why most people are into gambling is because of the winning. If the winning is removed trust me when I say that those gamblers will stop gambling because their main purpose for gambling is no longer there. However, as for me, if the winning is removed I will no longer gamble. What will when make me run faster is when I have to stake money before I gamble for fun.

 Traffic of course will drop but not 99% because not only a 1% will be interested a lot will be interested especially those retired ment how have no much things to do than play or find something fun to do, I have also seen one or more men who seat together to play board games like chess, even though they usually gambled with money but sometimes they don’t so I know people will still be gambling without money involved but of course the gambling know now or from casino or sport bookies won’t be the same anymore.

yeah, some people experience gambling without any money, just for the thrill & social excitement. But for most people, money is the main reason. in my opinion, the feeling of winning money & the pleasure that comes from participating in gambling actually act as the main motivation.

Also, the dopamine feeling that comes from uncertainty is important, its not just about winning, its a game of chance. If theres no money involved, the excitement & betting atmosphere are greatly reduced. In this case, it becomes more like a simple game than a game of risk & reward

Yes, but probably not so much. Some people here are saying the opposite but they are liars. If it was true they would find games that involve fake money or no money at all. You can find poker that does not involve any real money at all, why don't they go and play there? That's right, they are making things up.

Gambling is attracted for many reasons, but its key point lies in the manipulation of your emotions. It brings out negative emotions when you are losing, positive emotions when you are winning. Money intensifies these emotions as it makes the stakes real. When the stakes are fake then the emotions still come but they are weaker. So even if you are a disciplined player who plays for entertainment this has an effect on you. If it didn't, you'd go play with monopoly money and not with real dollars.

Yeah the involvement of real money makes a huge difference, even if the amount of money involved is very small. It is simply the fact that it is real, which is what makes it attractive. Many people here are in denial but you get it.
