You Can Make Money From Online Gaming Without Gambling
Playing games is as American as… (I like to say apple pie, but I remember my English teacher told me to stay away from clichés when writing). Let’s just say that a large number of Americans, both young and old, play games. A very large number of them are active in computer gaming online. And, their numbers are growing.
The Rise of Online Gaming
Whether you are into online gaming or not, you have likely heard how popular online gaming has become. Close to half of American households have some type of internet access (a majority with high-speed connections). The growing adoption of broadband has resulted in an ever-expanding push by content providers to offer more and more online video and games. If you have teenage children, you have seen firsthand how addictive the internet can be. But did you know that a very large percentage of American adults play computer and video games online? Not only do adults play games online, but those that play have been playing for an average of 12 years.
Growing Participation
It is certain that the number of people playing games online is not getting smaller. In fact, now that it is possible to win money playing games online, the number of players is rapidly increasing. While online gambling was exploding until it was made illegal in America, my reference to winning money playing games online does not include gambling (more on that later). Fifty-three percent of game players expect to be playing as much or more ten years from now, and the ‘newbies’ are beginning to play in large numbers every day.
The Female Influence
I recently saw some research that stated the fastest growing segment of the internet is women. What does this mean for online gaming? Thirty-eight percent of game players are women. If more women are going online than men, it can only mean that the female presence on online gaming sites will also increase. As I mentioned earlier, you can win money playing games online. No disrespect, but I personally do not know any woman who does not like money. I believe that it is a safe bet to say that the number of female gamers online will help to increase its popularity. Today, men spend more time playing games than women, but the gap will continue to narrow until women surpass men in playing online games.
Making Money Without Gambling
Again, let me point out that it is illegal to gamble online in the USA. I mention this so that no one will assume that I have been discussing gambling online. No! I was motivated to share these thoughts because I have discovered a way to make money online from gaming without gambling. There are various ways to earn income from online gaming, such as participating in tournaments, streaming your gameplay, or testing games for developers.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the world of online gaming is expanding rapidly, offering opportunities not only for fun but also for profit. Whether you are a casual player or looking to dive deep into the gaming community, there are numerous avenues to explore that can lead to financial rewards without the need for gambling.
