No, Çanak Okey is not gambling — it is played entirely with virtual chips that have no real-money value. Even though it has a growing "çanak" pot that the winner takes, that pot is made of virtual chips, not cash. The chips cannot be cashed out, exchanged for money or withdrawn, and there is no deposit or payout in real terms. It is a social skill-and-luck tile game in the Okey tradition, intended for players aged 18 and over. You can top up your chips for free through the daily bonus and rewarded ads, and any optional chip packs only add more virtual chips for play.
