Gambling is wagering something of value ("the wager") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the intention of winning something else of value. Gambling thus requires three elements: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (opportunity) and a prize. The outcome of the bet is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice, a spin of a roulette wheel, or a horse crossing the finish line, but longer time frames are also common, allowing betting on the outcome of a future sports game. or even an entire sports season.
The term "gaming" in this context usually refers to cases where the activity is specifically permitted by law. The two words are not mutually exclusive; i.e., a "gaming" company offers (legal) "gambling" activities to the public and may be regulated by one of the many gaming control boards, for example, the Nevada Gaming Control Board. However, this distinction is not universally observed in the English-speaking world. In the United Kingdom, for example, the regulator of gaming activities is called the Gambling Commission (not the Gaming Commission). The word gaming has been used more frequently since the rise of computer and video games to describe activities that do not necessarily involve betting, particularly online gaming, with the new usage still not replacing the old usage as the primary definition in common dictionaries. "Gaming" has also been used to circumvent laws against "gambling." The media and others have used one term or another to frame conversations around the topics, leading to a shift in perceptions among their audiences.
