Indeed. In addition, maybe people equate MLM schemes with gambling because after we deposit money into the MLM, we can feel insecure. After all, we don't know when we can get our money back with the profits. If this is the case, we must find out more information about MLM that we hear so we will not go the wrong way by joining the MLM. Thus we can also understand that MLM and gambling are different.
According to the argument given by the earlier replies, a good MLM company offers products in return for the money spent on the registration. Automatically, your money is returned in terms of products just like buying an item in the store. Your money = products with the same valuation as the money spent. So basically people do not lose at all. While money in gambling, when lost won't come back.
