Big stars gamble and spend huge amounts in gambling. Neymar has a lot of money and if you calculate his total money, it will be seen that his money amount is equal to the total GDP of any country. If Neymar gambles and gambles and loses millions of dollars, it won't affect him financially. However, I had read this kind of news that you mentioned in the news and I had seen a related video. In that video I could see Neymar losing a lot of money gambling and crying because of that, but he later confirmed that he made the video on purpose just to warn his fans. The news you have just shared may have been published only to warn gambling addicts.
That's not really fair to compare his money on a country with the lowest GDP, I mean Tuvalu is a small island and there's not a lot of money to make there plus it's not really a matter of how much money you've got or how much you're earning to replace that amount because it's a matter of the money that you lost and the things that are much more positive that you can spend that money on, not to mention that he's gambling at the birthday party of her daughter which shows what's happening to him and it's really bad right but given that it was just a stunt (or they might just want you to believe it), it's all good I think but it's really weird that you're doing this kind of thing at your daughter's party, you shouldn't be the center of the attention in my opinion.

Has Neymar never heard of privacy screens?
They have the ability to completely hide the view of a device if the focus of vision is not directly in front of the screen, this would certainly have avoided many problems for Neymar.

I havent exactly heard of this but sounds very feasible. I would consider this kind of security measure relevant to everyone due to how vital phones have become with people doing home banking, shopping, private emails almost anything. You dont want people watching your phone over your shoulder in any crowded place.
I'd like this for myself never mind being a millionaire, just normal business would be enough. Also as a screen protector, really should get one of these I reckon.
Im sure Neymar is fine, people will judge and being famous has its burden of every action has to mean something and people will write about you because they can sell a news story; they literally make it up half the time to sell adverts.
Those screen sheets are very recommended for people who are aware of the importance of their personal privacy and similar stuff like that, however, there are others who do not like to use those kinds of screen protectors, because it also limit the viewing angle of the screen when one intends to share the screen with other person, like when one tries to watch a video or a movie together with other person, for example.
They are good, but they are not for everyone out there.
Also, agree this kind of attention which is being received by Neymar is something relatively normal for other sport stars and entertainment stars on the world, paparazzis take note on any action done by them and then they try to extrapolate and exaggerate the news as much as possible for the sake of money. There is a good chance Neymar is not even actually falling into addiction and all is a big exaggeration of what is actually going on.
A recently viral video shows football star Neymar playing online poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday with a group of other people present.

This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!
my dear mate addiction is inbuilt and there is no person that is above to be addicted irrespective of your class, age, status in the society, most times they try to hide it but someday it will come out. Neymar is not the only addicted player on planet there are several other players who are addicted, different people have different things that makes them happy and that is why we have individual temperamental differences, some are addicted to smoke, sex, fight and many other things that makes them feel very comfortable. there are so many players who bet randomly even with their level of funds, yet they still bet for more money that is to say that no one is above gambling, and it is either you gamble for the money or for fun. so, it all lies in your choice but been addicted is not meant for any class of people and is a natural phenomenon or more less a Behavorial attitude. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13299361/Neymar-online-poker-daughter-Al-Hilal.html

I really don't believe he is addicted, it could have just been a moment where he focused more on it than his birthday and it was his mistake. However, I believe he is more restrained in relation to this, as he has many connections with betting, especially poker. And that's precisely why I believe he can contain himself much more.
FYI, it's not his birthday, but his daughter.Anyway, getting caught playing gambling during the time like a birthday celebration, many will really think that it is because of addiction. Wherein, they don't realize that online gambling is very common and can be one of the entertainment for adults especially if it is a kids birthday celebration party.
It is proved again that people dont bother going deep into details, read only headline and form opinion. Either I am blind, or please would someone show me that this was a birthday party. I see that they are not celebrating anything. Where did you people notice birthday party? Why everyone even consider this as a birthday, if that girl hasnt reached first year of age yet. She if only 6 months. Maybe I am somehow different, but people around me usually celebrate years as birthday, not months. Otherwise it turns out that I am 456 months old, and when I hit 500 months age, I should throw a real party.
I don't know what it's like in other countries, but in Brazil some parents celebrate this birthday monthly. So I believe this could be it, as it is the only possible celebration for the occasion, which ends up taking a lot of weight away from the celebration, as there will be another one next month, not next year. So, I believe that Neymar is not drowning in bets or that he needs help or concentration.
In my country people are used congratulate parents when baby is born, celebrate 1 (first) year with a large party, and after 10, 20, 30... are considered as special moments to celebrate, when birthdays are birthdays. And we usually celebrate birthdays on weekends. Even then, celebrating each month, it perhaps not a case to have a big party. Just a celebration among family members. Anyway, we have a several seconds video and people judging him for not paying much attention to celebration, when they have 24 hours, or 1440 minutes, or 86400 seconds to celebrate, but we saw only a tiny part of it.
Precisely because it is something cultural that most people find strange. But anyone who understands a little will see that it ends up being just another moment. Is it a special moment? Yes, but as there will be another one next month, Neymar can bet and not worry so much.
Bet neymar, bet

There is nothing wrong someone celebrating a birth date and not a birthday (year). Please don't get it twisted I also did that for my daughter every months when the day inside the months is counted towards her, the thing is I don't make it to be too obvious in a way I would start posting and attracting people's attention. Its just something one can just say " Hey baby girl you are 1 month old today, common you look pretty much smart and shaper than you were before" nothing much attached here.

Im not sure thats addiction exactly, kids parties are kinda boring lol. But yea its a bad look I guess, not good for his brand but as said he is already successful he can do as he wishes really.
I rule out this mix of activities because you will not likely win the poker game unless you are an experienced player playing vs new players maybe and get lucky in their mistakes like that.

They have the ability to completely hide the view of a device if the focus of vision is not directly in front of the screen, this would certainly have avoided many problems for Neymar.
In any case, we know that the biggest problem for a gambling addict is free time (idleness) and Neymar has had this since October last year when he was injured in Brazil's defeat to Uruguay in Montevideo in the South Qualifiers. -Americans for the 2026 World Cup. He should only return to playing football in August.
So, Neymar certainly has a lot of free time to promote bets among his friends, in addition to wasting hours and many millions on bets to the point where he can no longer control himself over the appropriate times to play or not.

I had not seen this thread and it seems to me that things have been taken out of context. Addiction has to do with not being able to stop doing an activity despite the negative consequences and as far as we know Neymar has not squandered his fortune playing poker. The 6-month-old daughter doesn't even know what's going on, and if instead of playing poker he was giving likes on Instagram we wouldn't be talking about it.
I agree with this, and if he has been playing poker since 2014, having a net worth currently of $250M, poker is no problem for him.
Neymar is not addicted to poker. We shouldn't jump into conclusion.
I read the article and more information presented in the article makes me believe that he doesn't have an online poker or gambling addiction.
Now judge for yourself with this added information which the OP missed out, do you still think he has an online poker or gambling addiction?
He sees a connection between Poker and Football, yes, if we approach it from his perspective, we can see that the situation is normal. I read the article and more information presented in the article makes me believe that he doesn't have an online poker or gambling addiction.
- Neymar loves Poker and he's been playing it since After the 2014 World Cup
- He intends to become a professional poker player and participate in major tournaments after his retirement from football.
- He sees a similarity between poker and football
- He is a brand ambassador with PokerStars
Now judge for yourself with this added information which the OP missed out, do you still think he has an online poker or gambling addiction?

Addiction of anything is not good. You can gamble or drink but you always need to have full control of your body and your will power strong enough to stop when you need to and start when you want to. Except for some examples like Messi, many of the Latin American football stars have ruined their career earlier or taken retirement earlier due to their addictions. Some even thought they had made enough money to live their life lavishly but when you are not good with money management and are in addiction, the money dries up soon and you'll be on spotlight for all the wrong things like Ronaldinho and Robinho.

Distraction is conducive to winning basically, sometimes I get away with it but I wouldnt be betting on any size while not able to fully consider my opponents actions and all cards played. Poker is more involving then it appears.

I think people are making a lot of assumptions about this guy's life and what's going on. It could be something far less serious. Maybe he's sponsored and had to meet some sort of quota or something. Would it be as crazy of him to be doing that if you knew it was going to make him six or seven figures? I doubt the guy is just out there neglecting his family to play poker without any reason. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd bet that he has a good reason to be doing what he's doing and I doubt it's because he has an addiction that he's trying to feed.
Having a reason or not, its none of our business on how he would be handling out his time and money. It is really just that people are really that loving on involving someones life and this is why on the time that they've seen something thats odd or not right into their eyes then you would be expect that there would really be those bashes and its not something new.Doesnt matter if you are a celebrity or a common man gambler.There are really conditions or moments that the urge of playing would be there. There are also some situations
on which its really something urgent or something that you would really be needing to deal with. So making some engagement on times like these like bdays or special
occasions on which it might not be something that could be postponed or some sort. It might not be looking good into someones eyes but there's nothing we can do about it and people would
really be always has something to say on the time that they would be seeing actions which arent that appropriate into their eyes.

This also works in the opposite direction: this is our life and we can discuss (and condemn) anyone 
No one is saying that Neymar is so addicted to gambling that it affects his (or his family’s) material well-being. But it’s hard to disagree with the fact that if a person engages in gambling at such moments, it looks strange. And I would say that this is disrespectful towards the rest of the family, but this is really their internal affairs.

There is only a part of a family behind that table. He has a bond with that 6 month girl, as he is a father, but he has split with girls mother. I dont like and want to dig in their life, but I can suppose that he might be feeling uncomfortable at that moment. Since they split, he might have planned to celebrate 6 month birthday with other people, in other place, and with that poker play, he shows that he does not care about his ex anymore. As if you would share hands with your former father-in-law, but would not hug or show love to mother-in-law or your ex wife, if you would met on public
Wow, you know such details, then maybe this changes things. The last news I saw about Neymar's non-football life was the news that he was hanging out at a club with some girls and his wife was unhappy about it. Apparently since then everything has come to a logical conclusion
In general, all this is not surprising - Neymar was not a professional on the field and in everyday life he has the same careless behavior.
That's his life, we have no right to accuse him, yes he is gambling but concluding that he is an addict is just unreasonable. I mean, he has the financial capability, can even spend millions easily as he have more his bank account which was earned from being a superstar in his sport. So a guy seen playing poker is already an addict? Maybe some thought he should not gambling since there was a special celebration, but like I mentioned, that's their life, they are the only ones who knows how they live, so as long as the family is happy, all this speculations would become baseless.
