What is the difference between play-money and real-money games?
A play money game does not require a deposit on the part of the player. These games are played with “fake money,” which do not represent anything of value. Since players have nothing to lose by recklessly wagering, a play-money game is much different than a real-money game. Real-money games involve much tougher competition because people can actually lose something of value, whereas they cannot lose any actual money in a fake-money game. If you are winning at the fake-money games, do not think this means you will probably win at the real-money games because the real-money games are much more difficult and require a higher level of strategic thinking than the play-money games.
