Are Binary Options like gambling?

Are binary options like gambling?

 

I have heard several times from people that when you are buying and selling Binary Options, your are basically gambling. While this maze be the case for some people who have addiction issues, they are both quite different. 

Casino games are based on luck and binary trading is based on real market conditions. This is not to say that casino's don't also involve skill or that binary trading doesn't experience luck, but the basis for the trades and exchanges of the two are very different. 

The thing is that casino games are designed for users to win in order to keep them entertained and binary trading are based on which ever direction the market swings, So not sure which one is better.
