As an old person maybe he dont have any hobbies that would really make him enjoy but only on playing poker and those feeling of nervous are normal and it does really happen on playing gambling. I could somehow called it as an addiction specially when he already play on daily basis or longer times even though he didnt spent his money on playing it.

you maybe right, It is I think one of his favorite games before then he stopped to play until years pass by then when there's a chance for him to play it again, He do it repeatedly, because He just miss it only. It can be like that.

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?

Your friend are addicted on gambling you can give your money on him and then play with it at least ride money and watch him how to play with his powerful buff techniques everyone will be addicted on gambling when winning the game. That good that he didn't spend his own money his just generating a good profit on casino website.

Sometimes a person does not think that he has really hooked on gambling. in fact, addicted to gambling is not about spending money, and stop when they want, but how often they return. if your friend often go back to gamble, then of course he is one of those who are addicted to gambling.

Yes we can think of him as addicted but it is not bad thing if he have control on himself. That addiction is harmless but if he is spending his money and losing all of his money and he do not care then it is dangerous and it will destroy his life.

Yes his became addict to gambling and he must have a discipline in itself for it has been stopped him. but if that age difficult to teach because they want to enjoy life and there begins turning them young minds.

Well you have to consider that old folks really can be find of new things and i think it's normal. Poker really attracts people of all ages and once a person whether old or young gets to understand how poker is played out, then it will take a lot of time because it is enjoyable. For me, when a person is already getting negative effects, either with their financial, personal or professional life, that's addiction. If your friend, considering his age, has that much time to spare, i think it would be alright to be hooked to poker

Maybe you are right. Because he has a lot of time to spare in his hand, he just decided to use it to play poker. Instead of drinking or womanizing, gambling is the lesser evil of the 3. However, from the way you describe it, it looks like to me he is addicted to gambling even it is for free. Or maybe he is just enjoying and it just a hobby for him to play poker?

if we've heard the saying about this fruit is not far from the tree as you said it all depends on his parents each in the way they educate their children to not gamble, so I think if the hobby of their parents and often a gamble, it all kesalahaan of the parents themselves and not always blame the child if the future behavior will be the same as the parents themselves to it.

Addicted to gambling is not a problem as long as he/she can maintain his/her money to not spend them all
Many people around the world commit to suicide because they use someone's money so they can't afford to pay them back

this will be bad ending for gambler that ended his life when he is got bankrupt in gambling, we should not be like that and the only one our hope is to stop right now and we should stay away from gambling if we are hard to handling ourself in gambling. the addicted person in gambling can make him to be bad person in his neighborhood so we need to take serious about to not getting addicting in gambling.

Based upon the quote from OP it's clear that he haven't used his hard-earned money for the purpose of gambling as well he has the ability to give a break to it after continued use of gambling. So I don't think he's completely addicted.

Complete addiction is not so obvious in a person who has self control sometimes specially talking about the hard earned money, because he has to value the significance of money generating income that he has. So he limits himself on his gambling activities not to be more aggressive in playing but still if we judge and observed his acts and attitude towards gambling, we certainly conclude that person is really addicted with gambling.

Sometimes a person does not think that he has really hooked on gambling. in fact, addicted to gambling is not about spending money, and stop when they want, but how often they return. if your friend often go back to gamble, then of course he is one of those who are addicted to gambling.

I think no, if a person is experiencing trouble controlling his gambling habits then thats a clear sign that he is addicted but in his case its not. he also dont spend his own money which is good, usually if you dont have control when playing, you will make way to have money to spend whether its your savings or money reserved for something else.

when gambling affect your emotion, it's a bad sign.
thinking I can stop for a day is also another bad sign. play every day is not normal, and I think play for a long time without a decent time of stop is also negative. I think a wash-out period is not to bad for him.

For me if he can stops without thinking to come back to it, you can not call him addicted. And I think that if he does not spend his own money this is not a big problem.

If he will come back again and again then even in that situation he is not called as addicted if he can control his hand while spending his money in gambling and even he spend his own money in gambling. A non addicted person will spend an affordable amount in gambling which he will afford for entertainment.

I think people who are not really addicted are not stay long time in gambling and even coming back.. they are just gamble for small amount or mostly they are only using the faucet bonus in the game for the testing..
People who are addicted are always coming back and i think they are using large bankroll to gamble. they are thinking that they can hit high profit but in the end they lose a lot if they keeps coming back addiction is hard to stop if you don't have willingness to stop gambling..
Before i am addicted but right now i am just gamble sometimes.. because i understand that gambling are made only for entertainment purposes..

this could be true as long as he don't spend too much of money and controlling his self, this all about controlling his self while playing gambling because once he is become too greedy in gambling, then he can not controlling his mind and only pursuit for the winning money and don't care about anything. mostly, people like will getting bankrupt quickly and he can not recover for what he loss, and if he can realize about this then he might need to asked for help from other people.

I think not, your friend was not addicted into gambling. He just came back for some other reason, it maybe give him a relaxation everyday that's why he often played. and also I think He knows how to controlled himself in the gambling because it stated that He can stop playing for a day or two days. because the real addict gambler can't control himself in the gambling.

i think for now maybe your friends is not an addicting person in gambling but soon or later, i am sure that he will be an addicting person because he plays almost every day for a few hours and this is the reason that maybe could make him to be the addicting person in someday.

Your right, it is signed that his friend is on the way to become an addict in the gambling site. It maybe for now its a kind of His hobbies. but sooner or later it will be for sure.

I think he is .if he cant resist not to play gambling regardless the money he use to play .a hobby becomes addicting but as long as you can control yourself and you can manage any things bybset asiding your hobby for the mean time.

The OP mentioned that his friend could control himself not to play whenever he does not want to play. With that said, I can say that he is not addicted to gambling. Playing on your friends website is like showing them your support and at the same time enjoying the games. Being nervous too, is a sign that you are afraid to lose money. That means he is aware of the outcome of his actions.

maybe for now his friend can control himself but who knows in tomorrow his friends can not controlled and still playing gambling and finally he become an addicting person in gambling. there is always another time to playing gambling since we can be a winner in that games but in the end, if we continue to playing gambling everyday, we only turn ourself into an addicting person.
