I think your friend including addiction because he always playing gamble every day. Addiction does not always have to spend a lot of money because basically addiction is dependency or doing continuously. He did not spend the money to gamble altogether, but he's doing it continuously so that it can be considered as addiction.

a real addicts will never can control themselves on doing anything.
based on op story , his friend did not use his own money to gamble , just uses free ticket/free money only.
which for me it is shows how he still in control and not yet addicted hardly, he just cannot stop playing.

Sorry but I do not agree with you. If he is still in control certainly would not bet every day for a few hours, although with ticket/free money that he has. He can not stop playing it includes no self-control, so I think it includes addiction. Like a someone who is addicted to watching porn, whether he was watching with money or not, but he watched continuously.

My close friend is 50 years old. He's never been addicted to anything throughout his life. His friend made a poker website and now he keeps playing there a lot. he also uses some free tickets to tournaments he gets from betcoin.ag signature campaign. He plays almost every day for a few hours. And he became more nervous in general. But he doesn't think he's addicted and his argument for that is that he can stop playing for a day or two (that's true) and he doesn't spend his own money on it at all. Would you call such a man addicted?

No he isn't, because he can control himself for being greedy and ONLY using free tickets from Betcoin.ag and NEVER spend his money for GAMBLING because getting addicted into Poker also he has stated he can stop playing from gambling activities (that's a great mind).

he was not addicted he could control himself to be able to stop playing for 1-2 days and not spend his own money. which becomes a problem when he started to play in long term and began spending his own money he would become addicted to it.
I think your friend just got a new hobby

I am curious that he play on his free time or not? Because if your friend just play whole day and he is not working or he doesn't have any social life, or doesnt care about his family just to play then i can say he is addicted, but if he only plays during his free time then that's not an addiction but it is only a leisure for him.

Yeah in his case it's a little bit confusing to consider he is addicted or not
One thing that i know if you can't handle your desire to win in gamble and keep trying in no matter condition
Which even could make himself get hurts, then it's something dangerous called addicted
If the situation like what you said , i guess yeah he is addicted already.

For me i don't see addiction in the game since he is not spending money while gambling and he just use the ticket to gamble also you can seen that he is gamble with limitation of time.. the addicted gamblers can spend a lot of time and can spend a lot of money.. that man i think he just gamble for fun with trill since he is thinking to win high using the free ticket..

I think the guy is fine. He just have lots of hours to spend in gambling game. There are no traces of having an impulse control disorder since he can stop whenever he wanted. Aside from that he can also control his spending in gambling making him not affect his friends and family negatively. So I guess the guy is fine.

I can say he is not since he still have control overhimself. He is not going beyond the line of spending other money or affecting those people around him negatively. I think he is just enjoying his free hours

. Keep us updated if he suddenly change to an aggressive gambler using money that is not his.

I think your friend had a gambling addiction. as if someone had known gambling he will be hard to stop playing because of the gambling nature that makes a person addicted

if a person find it hard to stop to stop gambling or he convince himself again again for playing gambling then he is addicted. but i thing addiction to gambling is not a problem if an addicted person is playing gambling in a limit. but if he is playing gambling out of his limit then the problem is a little serious.

In the case of his friend that is not still severe type of gambling addiction because he said that he is not spending his own money, which is a good thing for him. But he is playing almost everyday and that is considered an addiction. Just always remind your friend that if he keeps on gambling on a daily basis that can make him into utmost addiction.

Spoiler alert,an addict would not have a limit while gambling and so is the reason they are known as addicts.And for the OP i am a smoking addict and i can stop smoking a day or two that doesn't mean that i am not an addict .Hope he doesn't burn his bank roll in his old age and rather stick on the free tickets he is getting.

I think so, because he's not aware anymore in a normal things happen in his daily e life. By the way what do you mean he doesn't ?spend his own money? Does is someone spending money for him?

Are you able to read quoted post?
Where did OP said that his friend is not aware of things around him? Also, what part of "free tournaments tickets" you don't understand?

Oh no, another brand new farming account!

He still can control himself and use a money which he can afford to lose.
He use a btc from sig campaign, it's means he's use he's own money, that's not free money he need to spend time and learn something to earn such money.

I think he's not addicted, looks like he wants having fun with such money.

Addiction doesn't just mean that a person should spend his own money to prove that he is addicted of something. A person can also be called addicted if he spends much time on something every day. Also there can be kinds of addiction, like maybe someone gets too much addicted that he starts spending anything he has and maybe someone has enough control on himself that he will stop himself from doing that anytime he is done with free rolls.

He is playing with free money, who knows he is addicted or not and he may play just to make a profit. Because if also lose no problem, he will not lose his money. So only he will spend more time on gambling to make a profit. If any person plays more time in gambling with his own money, there is only one reason he is addicted to gambling. But if anyone play with others money the reason is it's not his money, so he will play freely without any tension.

There are a few symptoms from which we can find out whether one person is addicted to gambling or not.

If he is very conscious about his responsibilities and duties then there would be no need to worry about his continuous gambling activities. Once he starts failing to fulfill his responsibilities, we must treat him as an addicted person before it is getting worst.

Maybe your friend is just a casual gambler. As long as his gambling does not interfere with family obligations I think he's not addicted yet. Perhaps
gambling is a major source of relaxation and entertainment for him. But if he spend a lot of hours per day and forgot his obligation on his family, then its a different thing.

Probably not. The fact that he can stop for a day or two proves that he's still in total control. He is 50 years old and I think that being nervous is just part of his age. I think he is just having a good time playing poker and that's it. Everyone can enjoy these things. Nothing special about that. You also said that he's just playing for a few hours and almost everyday. So it's not a whole day long gambling session and it's not happening every single day.

A gambling addict would play all of his free time gambling and would do it every single day. Whenever he's at home, he would always be on his computer gambling.
