Does poker count as gambling?

[makudonarudo]

online micro stakes are definitely a form of gambling

I think that if poker is a game of chance, even if some people say that you have to study blah blah blah, in the end you always need luck to win.

 

[RhinoRyan89]

Poker will always be somewhat gambling due to the variance of the game.

But for people with good mathematical mind and willing to learn and study somewhat lessons the amount of gambling poker intails.

 

[bowserdon]

simply YES

Bad luck for those who lose, lucky for those who win

Poker is undoubtedly a game of chance. That's my opinion.

Yes, poker is generally considered a form of gambling because it involves wagering money on the outcome of a game that includes an element of chance. However, unlike games of pure luck (like slot machines or roulette), poker also heavily relies on skill, strategy, psychology, and decision-making. This distinction has led some to argue that poker is more of a skill game with gambling aspects, especially in the long run where skilled players can consistently outperform less skilled ones. Still, from a legal and regulatory standpoint in most countries, poker is categorized under gambling.

Legally, poker is often considered gambling because it involves money and chance. But unlike pure gambling games, skill plays a huge role, which makes poker a unique blend of both.

In many countries, poker is not considered a game of chance. Laws generally define gambling as a game in which winnings and losses depend solely or primarily on luck. Generally, in poker, the player's skill outweighs luck, classifying it as a game of the mind.

Poker cannot be considered a game of chance because in games of chance, you rely solely on luck to win.
The most decorated player in poker history is American Bryn Kenney. In total, he has received US$75,778,350.
There is another player with 14 world poker bracelets.
In games of chance, there is no way to win and profit continuously, which is why there is no world champion in roulette or slot machines.

I think it is for most people..

 

[steve01991]

are you risking cash? then yes it is gambling

 

[GLAVI65]

I think it's a betting game that combines strategy with chance. There's also a magic touch for when bad beat favors. Poker is great for neurons!

 

[fewerz]

When it comes to putting money on the line and relying partly on luck — definitely yes.

 

[Rob Hobson]

Yes, but in a especial manner

 

[percrackk]

It’s controllable gambling, like you can manage more your bets, sizing, times, everything

 

[LiviuRo123]

Yes, poker involves gambling because there's money at risk, but unlike pure games of chance, skill plays a huge role. In the long run, good players can consistently beat weaker players, which makes poker very different from casino games like roulette or slots.

 

[Sorrybro539]

Yes, people argue about this question all the time. Most people would say it's gambling because you bet money on an uncertain outcome. You may get the best card, bet all the money, but still lose to the bad card. This is just part of the game.

 

[padman400]

100% gambling and please do not think otherwise

 

[romerim]

I think so.
It involves luck and probability: the cards dealt are random.
Element of financial risk: betting and gambling require real money.

 

[ztibor72]

I think Poker is a skill-based game, with luck present in the short term.
If I look at it this way, it's not Gambling.

 

[bodil19982]

To some extent yes, but not entirely.
