Superpicks.com My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
Absolutely, it can still be called gambling even without money involved. The essence of gambling is staking something of value on an uncertain outcome. Money is often the most common "thing of value," but it could be anything from a prized possession to a person's time. So when playing a game for non-monetary stakes, such as pride, points, or even bragging rights, it can still be considered gambling if there's a risk and uncertainty involved.
Remember, the thrill of gambling comes from the uncertainty, not necessarily the prospect of winning money. Enjoy your games responsibly, whether they involve money or not!
