So most people often confuses with these two ventures.
So which is which? Do the gambling exercise really considered as gaming in any case?

They are different in nature. Gambling is gambling - money is involved. But for gaming, this mostly only involves just that, games and no money involved. Maybe others can consider it the same.

There are games where you gamble from the game currency these are games but if you gamble with money then it's not a game

Gambling and gaming are two distinct activities. While gambling involves betting money on casino games, gaming refers to playing games without involving any monetary transactions.

Games are usually played for fun, pleasure or entertainment, then when it comes to gambling, it has to do with money, you could either loose or win.

Yes both are different. Games are played for fun and gambling is to earn money. But when you bet in gaming regularly it becomes gambling.

Gambling and gaming are two different things I believe. Gaming is someone who plays video games, whilst they can get addicted to playing video games, they are not running the chances of losing a lot of money and ending up in debt.

Gambling on the other hand can be addictive but can also result in financial issues too.

In my opinion it's not the same, games are generally played for free while gambling uses betting so that if we lose we lose and if we win we will make a profit.

It is not the same but they are somehow inter related. Most gambling sites have incorporated gaming in their platforms which they use to lure unsuspecting customers. In the other way round, many gaming sites are into mini gambling.

Many people are often fooled or misunderstand games and gambling, games in general are only entertainment that requires tactics and strategy and do not cause mental or financial losses, while gambling often causes losses not only financial but also mental and addictive.
