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!
What the heck are you talking about? The majority gamble in order to win big money and not for fun or the uncertainty factor. If there is no money involved, it cannot be called gambling at all.
The minority gamble for fun and the uncertainty factor matters to them, but it still can't be called gambling when money isn't involved.
You are right, if there is no money involved, it isn't gambling at all. Gambling means putting something of value at stake in order to win something in return in case you win the bet that you made, and if you lose the bet, you lose what you had on stake, so anything else that doesn't involve these things cannot be considered gambling, even if you are winning something but not losing anything, you can't call that gambling because in gambling you also lose.
Even those who gamble only for fun use money to do it, one cannot gamble with a demo account or free money to have fun because there is no fun in that at all. What's the fun if you hit a big win and don't get anything because you are using a demo account?
Or simply if there's no something that had been risked out then its not gambling at all and this is why its not really that hard to make out some comparison in between things because even just using up your own
common sense then you would really be able to tell those main differences and not would really be asking with these no sense kind of questions because it could really be answered on your own.
It is really just that there are people who does really love on asking out on something that they do already know. In general then if you arent risking something even not on fiat or physical money form
then it wont really be a gamble. You would really be gambling on something which you do see that you could really be able to benefit into it and this is the time we would really be risking on something
whether it would really be completely lost or would really be getting on the thing that you do want but everything would really be depending or basing up on your luck.
