Gambling is the act of wagering money or valuables on an event with an uncertain outcome, with the primary intent of winning more money or prizes. It typically involves elements of risk, chance, and skill and can take various forms, including:
Casino games (e.g., poker, blackjack, roulette, slot machines)
Sports betting (e.g., betting on football, horse racing, or boxing)
Lotteries & raffles (e.g., buying lottery tickets, scratch cards)
Online gambling (e.g., virtual casinos, esports betting)
Gambling can be for entertainment, but it also carries risks, such as addiction and financial loss. Responsible gambling encourages setting limits and understanding the odds before participating.
