First, poker is played for money, and the only significant indicator of success is the amount of money won. In poker, you can win a lot and lose a lot – and this is a sign of gambling.

Secondly, poker is played in a casino, that is, where gambling is usually played.

These arguments are not so weak. In Russia, they tried to separate poker from casinos and create poker clubs (this happened in the late 2000s, when casinos were already banned, and poker had not yet become a gambling game in the terminology of Russian legislation). It failed – in part because the poker clubs were playing roulette and blackjack. And all world poker tournaments are still held in casinos, not in stadiums or in specialized clubs. The lack of recognition of poker as a competitive discipline as a full-fledged sport does not interfere with it. Streams are already gaining hundreds of thousands of viewers, and the unofficial World Poker Championship-the WSOP-is becoming an increasingly global event, which brings together players from all over the world, the most famous of them are as recognizable stars as, for example, hockey players or basketball players.
