I have been always curious about making money from games i love to play, since i was a little kid playing GTA games while there was no such live casinos and online betting i had this idea of what if there is a possibility of making money from playing.
We all know poker doesnt require to be lucky as much as it requires you to be skilled to win, and even though we poker is still considered as gambling. I wish to know if these games such as FPS which you can put for example in a room of 10 players everyone puts 5 dollars and the winner takes the whole 50 dollars, Are considered as gambling.
And also if theres any known and trusted website or casino that allows such games. I find them better than gambling and lucky games
Well, we have been quite gambling when we play online games. Sometimes it requires you to pay or buy special item to make your character even more stronger, so you can get ahead of everyone to acquire rare items that you can sell in the market. That's quite gambling right there, you are paying for the total unknown ahead of you on whether or not you acquire these items that compensates all your expenses in game or make even more.
Another example was the betting system in Dota2, before the rise of the online casinos. There were this one segment in the platform in-game where you can put in-game items to bet on a participating team in the tournament called TI (The international). I remember I bet rare and mythical items, some of this items are available in the market for purchasing- so that's like you're betting with real money.
IMO, as long as the game involves money, it will be most likely considered gambling.
