As long as there's a risk involved and it is some kind of prediction, win or lose type of games, then I would always consider it as a form of gambling.
Sometimes even if it's not directly money as long as it have a value and it is being risk then yes it is gambling.
What do you consider the risk to be about if there is no money at stake? Every single game is a win-or-lose type of game, but not every game in the world is a gambling game or should be considered one unless there is something staked on it and I don't see OP mentioning anywhere that there is some requirement for it.
If there is nothing of value at stake, it cannot be considered gambling at all, and risk is only when you have something at stake which you can potentially lose if you don't make a correct prediction.
Well, there what he was able to understand is that there are times when it is scary to place bets with money, but that is normal only at the Beginning, then later that fear is lost,the Important thing is that if you place sports bets you have to be clear that here the greatest Responsibility is on the part of the bettor, because there are only two possibilities in general, and here things must be fully Fulfilled, if you know enough about a sport and if it is considered a fan help,but if it is not, and it is left Carrying by the emcoines or by what the rest says is like doing complemtante gambling.
well, that's because it is on the safer side of gambling without losing anything, but i prefer to call that as just a game for free since you didn't have to risk that much so winning or losing doesn't matter too much and on the brighter side, if ever you won then you will still earn. it's not that we have different perspective on different aspects of this world, but for me every decision you've made are always carrying risk, even if we say that you are playing it safe at the end of the spectrum. i understand that the consequences of losing this time isn't that much heavy compared to when you are actually putting in some amount but a risk is still a risk that's why i just prefer to call it a game than gamble.
We must return this to the notion of gambling which involves betting in a game. So in general if a game is without betting then it cannot be said to be gambling in my opinion, because it goes back to the basic understanding of gambling itself. And I agree that gambling carries risks, and if there is nothing at stake then what risks will we get, because we don't bet anything and will not lose anything from that game.
However, if it is based on personal opinion, of course there will always be different opinions from one to another.
Gambling on the sense it would be called on how its been done since this one involves betting or choosing on a particular team/player, the thing that differs on this one is that it is completely risks free because
you arent betting something like money or really doesnt have the risks which we do particularly know that this isnt how gambling works. The action been made is pertaining about gambling/betting but since
its completely free and there's no money or fiat involved or risks which you are really that completely free from risks then its not gambling at all.
Just like on what been said that it is unlikely or not really that common to see to have this kind of offering on where letting everyone do make out bets and have the chance on winning something.
For sure there's always a catch in the end of the line because there would be no business would be launching up such promotion if they wont really be getting something in return.
