Author is just trying to sensationalize the story. How can it be link to addiction when he was only caught once gambling during a special celebration?
If that was not bothering him and his family, I don't think it's a big deal. And why are we talkinga bout how much he earn and how much he could lose in gambling when we have no proof that he is gambling with huge money.
I think nothing is serious about this one, this guy "Neymar" does not become great if he is not good in focusing what's important to him.

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!
OP, pardon me to say this, it only takes the grace of God for any body that loves gambling not to get addicted or even develop those symptoms of addiction in gambling. I was not completely a gambling addict but there were time when I gambled repeatedly to the extent that I just felt I was going against my self decision. I can decide not to gamble today but later that I will just find myself going against those decisions and even lose some money that I have budget for something else, I had to discipline myself before I stop that habit. Probably, Neymar was just feeling off himself and not really an addict. Things like this happens at times.
Most people get addicted with these games without any prior history of addiction because the games are designed like that to stimulate the sense and bring that dopamine rush, which if missed for the next few days brings in craving for that same stimulation.
So Neymar is not exception to that, added to it that in the recent few years, athletes have become more of cry-babies who are given almost everything they want right at the time of asking and never actually have to work for it, this type of addiction does not take much time to settle in.
Still what we need to learn from this is that family and gambling need to be kept way apart or else the former becomes dysfunctional, which we never want.

This is not a new news, it was reported earlier that Neymar lost a bet of 1 million dollars. Although I don't remember if one million is the exact amount, it still won't be less. I don't know if he is actually addicted to gambling but if this news is true then it's not good news for him, there are more legendary star footballers in Brazil who are currently in the bank rafty because of this habit.
When it comes to gambling, Neymar is heavily involved and he can't stop it now because it have turn out to be a daily routine for him. The Brazilian happens to he one of these players that flaunts their luxurious lifestyle online. Neymar Jr have enjoyed his time playing European football and moving to the Saudi side, Al Hilal was purely for entertainment. He cleared reports about playing football for entertainment and not for competitive strength, he enjoyed his own space all these years.

First of all we should not judge or put tags on a person based on article media creates about him. I have seen before that he gambles, but from that short video, we see only a tiny part of whole situation. Maybe he is an addicted gambler, or maybe he was during a tournament and advanced far ahead of it. What he thought he would start if early and could finish it early, but went so far ahead in the game, that he is on the final table now. What would you do then if you were him? Drop the game or continue?

FYI those who have a lot of money for bankroll that already involved on gambling is the one who’s more prone for gambling addiction compared to poor/limited money because rich people usually play recklessly when they still have a lot of money thinking that they more room for lose due to their bankroll size.
Compared to poor people that will immediately stop once loss because they can’t afford to play anymore even though they still want to play. Which is why most severe case of gambling addiction usually experienced by those people that has a lot of money compared to poor people that has limited funds for bankroll.
This dude is loaded with cash, but he clearly lacks common sense. His gambling addiction proves money doesn't make you impervious to problems. Like you said, anyone can fall into that trap.
Let's be real, quality time with your kids tops any poker game and Neymar better rethink his priorities. Maybe this is a wake-up call, but who knows?
Can anyone detect what platform he is playing on? He's a PokerStars ambassador right? It would be interesting to discover that he is using a competing casino.

This just shows that athletes are just humans as well and they are susceptible to the life threats and temptations of this world. We all know that he has the money to spend on gambling but what's bothering here is that it's not the time for gambling but a time to celebrate and be present at the moment but that's not how he does it. I do hope that he gets to solve it and not become what other failed superstars that gone into these types of madness.
A recently viral video shows football star Neymar playing online poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday with a group of other people present.

Just because he is Neymar doesn't mean others can't control themselves more than him, I will never go to the extent where my family will be celebrating and I will be gambling. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13299361/Neymar-online-poker-daughter-Al-Hilal.html

Getting addicted to gambling is a choice, a choice that many people aren't even aware that they have made, you just end up finding yourself on the other side of the lane, and this is happening because people are not aware of their actions especially when gambling.
Neymar or whoever he is, he is just a human like everyone else, I don't have to look at gambling the same way as he is, I see gambling differently, I know what gambling is all about even before I started gambling, caution is my name, I am always aware of what I am about to do when gambling.
That was not right. Obviously, a gambling addict. There's a whole day to play that game and he could just let it slide for once or like hours of celebrating and then he can go back to whatever he is addicted too. I am sad for the kid and his family especially when the kid grows and sees this clip.
What's just 2 or 3 hours of focusing on your kid's birthday? Money and gambling can really control people and this is a big proof of it. Maybe he should see this clip and realize that he is doing it wrong as a father. Those are special moments that needs special attention and time. It cannot be destroyed by a bad habit or addiction.

Neymar is a Fortine player, but especially of:
Call of Duty
Pro Evolution Soccer
GTA
UFC
He has also been the image of a Poker Star, surely if you see him playing Call of Duty you wouldn't call him an addict.
On the other hand he is addicted to being unfaithful.
So what does money, fame, etc. have to do with being addicted or not, nothing, being irresponsible is not changed by money or fame.

That sounds to me like too much need for dopamine, or dopamine addiction in general. It certainly doesn't sound like acceptable behaviour but I don't know if maybe things are being taken out of context here, maybe he was playing a tournament where all you're doing is folding all the time until you get a playable hand, and it's not like he was flying a plane.

Please, a whole lot of other people have done WORSE during their daughter's birthdays, or for any other relatively important event even. And addiction? Really? Does that mean me using my phone during my parents' birthday (don't have a kid yet) means I'm addicted to my phone? A real addict in the first place wouldn't even be in the damn birthday party, my mans there celebrating, singing along with her, I don't think there's really an issue here. It's just journalists being journalists imo. And twitter people being twitter.
I don't think that playing poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday is a sign of poker addiction for the football player Neymar. People usually enjoy playing poker and that doesn't mean that they're addicted to it.
Media is known to share such content to gain more views so they can earn more revenue, and most of the time news like that is a lie and nothing else. Playing poker doesn't make someone a poker addict and if Neymar played it then I'm sure he played it for entertainment purpose not because he's addicted to it.

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?

- 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?
Well, the truth is Ney is a public figure, I don't think he becomes addicted, he just really likes to gamble and he should do it for fun, because with the salary they give him at Al Hilal he doesn't need to make money, I think he does it for That is, although a person like Ney can do this type of thing without worrying about becoming decapitalized or something like that.
Sometimes the news is very sensational and wants to show the image of a great legend of that type, of course we as players understand the monetary capacity that the player has, in this case it is something else.
Although things are going like this with Ney, casinos that are looking for an influencer to sponsor his site, I think they should take advantage and contact the Brazilian star.

i believe at first, maybe Neymar tried playing cards to just get rid of boredom, but as time went by, it turned into an addiction. Here, Neymar had to be able to restrain himself from getting involved further in card gambling, even though card gambling like poker is skill-based gambling. as one of the most expensive footballers in the world, neymar should focus on his training and recovery, not playing poker. i don't idolize neymar, but i feel sorry for him for being someone who is addicted to playing poker.
We can't judge him just because of one occasion. How can people be so overcritical with his actions and conclude that he is an addict? As he said, after he is finished with his football career, he may focus on being a poker player turning to be a pro. Nothing wrong with his ambition. That's his decision as an athlete though.

The thing is that this is not the first time that he has been spotted being seriously involved with some gambling related issues and that's why the conclusions to him being an addict was made. Drake is also a gambling so is the son of the famous Micheal Jordan and all these are wealthy personalities although the kind of money they have would make you think that the ones they sometimes lose to gambling doesn't make them addict but I think I like to beg the differ.While it's a reasonable conclusion that anyone would come up with, I still think it's bit too far especially if Neymar's indulgence is only due to his love for the game and very little to do with being addicted to it. Don't get me wrong but when they said someone is a addicted to something, they do that thing so much that they can no longer live without getting involved in that activity. If celebs gets involved in gambling every now and then, I don't think it should be termed addiction.
Thanks for your input btw, I acknowledge the fact that you drove home, a very good point.
Neymar has access to hundreds of millions of dollars. He can practically do anything he pleases with the money, unfortunately he chose to use the money to his enjoyment and not spend time with his kid that celebrates her birthday. Poker is always there, and you can pretty much just go back to it anytime you like. However, birthdays happen only once a year. That single day can make all the difference to a growing child's memory between a good father and a father that prioritizes his enjoyment over the child's.
This man is great in a lot of people's books, but this simple event that happened is enough for a lot of those people to think that Neymar might not be someone who they think he is. On the field he's a beast -- a legend, many would say. But in real life he's just like a lot of people whose priorities are not straight when it comes to their family. Sure, he can provide and can basically give his family a good life. Then again, money isn't everything when it comes to raising a family.

Of course, but the only worst is if you're just an average earner yet you become addicted to it is the worst thing to happen, unlike people like this who have millions on their stash wouldn't be a problem. Those "Neymar is gambling addict" from online naysayers were just pure assumptions or just baseless accusations judging from those few seconds video clip. If his wife does not bother to it, then how much for those stranger online.
He could just maybe promoting some gambling sites too, lol maybe he will announce it later on on his twitch livestream, anything like that lmao.
Plus, for god sake, 6 months is not a birthday lmao.
