Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?

I think yes as you are predicting the future and predicting the future it is called gambling because no one can predict the future correctly always,sometimes we see and choose the favorite team to win in a sport event but most of the time everybody is on a losing run.

This can also increase your desire to start real gambling with real money once you get used to it so even if it is not called gambling in the beginning,it has super high chances leading you to gambling so I would put this in the gambling category.

This is kinda funny because how would you say that "you predicting the future and predicting the future is called gambling", what if I predict that there is going to be rain tonight and the rain eventually falls which means I have predicted the future but does actually mean that I have gamble ? Answer=NO, because gambling has to be involved with taking of risk and predicting an unknown outcome with a possible result of you losing something that is involved which is the risk so even you predicting games with no risk involved is actually not gambling.

You're right, @ Mr. Suevie it is the act of risk taking in a prediction that makes it qualified to be called gambling, according to Wikipedia, gambling is referred to as the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted, moreover in superpicks you're not wagering any money or something of value to make your predictions.
However superpick is a sports platform where you're allowed to play free games online and win money and also you could predict the exact results of 6 impending matches as well as answering tie breaker questions in different rounds of the game therefore since it doesn't require you to make predictions with money or any valuable items then it can't be referred to as gambling but a free online platform for making predictions.
