Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?
I know some of my friends playing both online games and gambling game together, and yes, they are fun and enjoy the game. But they say that they cannot get something different from the online game than the gambling game. They want to know about the lucky so they play the gambling game and they can accept if somehow, they cannot win in the game, and they only get the loss.
It's different obviously. I mean, most of people playing online game because of fun and hobby, some of the games also not pay to win, so they can play it just for fun. On the other hand, gambling game is about money.
I am not addict of gambling but I know that gamblers cannot leave gambling easily as I am a smoker and I smoke for the last 19 years but now it is difficult for me to quit smoking. Gambling addiction is also like drugs addiction and cannot be leaved easily. Social mobilizers, friends and especially family member can help him in quitting gambling addiction.
