I don't think it's technically a gamble if you cant lose..... to me that scenario would be more of a game of chance......

It's only gambling if you have something to win or lose from it if not it's just a game of cards

If there's no stakes there's no gambling, just a game.

I'd say gambling. It sounds like one of those have a free go, you have a free go and then next you have to put down money to continue.

"I'd say gambling. It sounds like one of those have a free go, you have a free go and then next you have to put down money to continue.

Exactly what it will be, you get knocked out of the tournament and are then offered a chance to continue with a buy back in, they try to get you hooked so they can milk you for cash.

Although the initial game is free and if you walk away after being knocked out there is technically no gamble .

Personally would steer well clear !

It's gambling if there's potentially a loss of something to potentially gain something.

Say a friend gives you a stone to place as a bet to win some soil. The stone cost you nothing but had a value that you could lose - that would be gambling. I don't know the circumstances of ops 'free' betting but if these are infinitely available free bets, rather than a limited quantity, then it wouldn't seem like gambling.

My advice is not to undertake something like gambling, as it is very addictive. Organisations and others will often seek to lure punters in with 'free' or low risk options.

it's how come when you only make decisions they call that 'taking a gamble', if there's no definite outcome or result from making your choice.

The aim is to suck you in (not by your cock I hasten to add) so you will most likely want to buy chips and it will lead to gambling. XXX

Gambling is almost 100% psychological.

What is being won doesn't fundamentally matter, the Psychological relief is essentially the same.

I'm not a gambler, I've never gambled in my life, I like to make my own luck in this world.

It is gambling. good on you for not paying anything when you go. It is a tactic to get you to pay more and more.

I work in the industry and wish I didn't.

A lot of casinos have a free to enter tournament and you will have the option to buy back in if you are knocked out so it depends if you can stick to not buying in. Personally I don't see poker as gambling, more a game of skill and strategy although luck does play its part. Hope you win OP.

Freerole Texas hold Em poker is fun every now and again. Certainly not gambling if no money is being bet to begin with.

I work in the gambling industry.

Online websites give you free 'money' to play with in the hope that once it's gone.. you deposit your own cash.

You may not have paid to enter this time.. but will you get the taste for it and pay to enter next time?
