Is Balloonracing.Net Gambling?
23/09/2024

https://balloonracing.net , Purepages Group trademarked 100% eco-friendly virtual balloon race and its sister systems https://ecoracing.co and https://rentaballoonrace.com are definitively NOT gambling.  There are, however, some cartoon based sites out there that unfortunately are, so beware.

Gambling is defined by Dictionary.com as the activity or practice of playing at a game of chance for money or other stakes. Chance is defined as an event where there is no predictability of outcome or ability to control it in any way.

Therefore betting money on the result of a professional game of football or horserace is classed as gambling as the outcome is uncertain, and you, the gambler, cannot influence or change the football players or lawfully manipulate the race horse.

Similarly, a lottery is gambling as the prize winners are chosen at random and winning is just pure luck or chance.

In contrast, Balloonracing .net is a game of skill where you, the balloon purchaser, can personally alter the helium content, thickness of rubber and balloon shape in order to gain advantage. This is after studying the prevailing weather patterns to decide what parameters to choose to maximise performance under those conditions. And to finally ensure that there is no chance of luck, we ask a difficult question of the winners.
