Is betting on the outcome of your own performance considered gambling? Put another way, let's say you're playing a game of chess with a friend, and you each put $20 into the pot which will go to the winner. Is this gambling? 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev

With gambling I usually picture some element of chance, and how "the house always wins." There's a lack of control, which makes it unfair. It gets murkier introducing some chance alongside some skill. Chess is 0% luck, but many games have a bit of RNG that makes it a combo of luck and skill.
