I just went through the article and there is no where it was mentioned that he was addicted to it and after checking online, Neymar has not publicly made such statements so I'm curious to know where OP inferred the gist about neymar's addiction to poker. The only thing I saw was the fact that he'd like to go PRO in poker after his professional football career comes to a halt. Every player needs something to fall back on after a fulfilling career and poker might just be Neymar's.

It's like saying since I bet every other day, I am addicted to sports betting and gambling? Nahhhh.

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 is a little sad to see that he is not completely focusing on his child's birthday celebration, I don't think this one incident necessarily mean that he is addicted, but then again we don't really know if this is the only time he has done this.

anyway, reading through the article, it looks like he is serious about poker and is planning on turning pro poker player once his football career is over.

We can't judge him just because of one occasion. How can people be so overcritical with his actions. 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.

This would have been overlooked if not for the fact that this happened during his daughter’s birthday - I mean common most of us here have experienced addiction one way or another but it still would take more for us to abandon our loved ones event and focus on gambling.

If not for his daughter involvement, I would have just read the topic and be like; another rich dude enjoying himself. Family should come first after that you’d have the rest of the day to waste on your obsession.

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.

Once some person,some famous person retires from his activity he can't just stay and spend his days enjoying his earned fortune.In human nature it is deep in our DNA that we want to deal with something,to take care of something or just having an hobby and I see nothing wrong so far with Neymar decision to play poker.Of course I agree is not one of the best hobbies out there to kill time as it can become an addiction yet it is an addiction who relies mostly on skill and I would not be much worried about addiction in poker,rarely I have heard stories where people have left everything playing poker except those who don't know what they were doing.The real addiction is in slot machines so for the moment let's wait and see what happens to Neymar.

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.

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!

No one is above addiction and you could add drake the hip pop star to that list because he has known to be very crazy with his gambling habits and one may think that why would these mentioned persons even gamble in the first place because already they have all the money and one wouldn't even count this type of their gambling as act as fun gambling because some of the money they use in gambling is damn big even for a celebrity rich fellow.

Poker is a game where skills is needed to advance your career. If he sees himself to be a pro in the future, then, that's his choice, right? If he ever becomes addict to this game, then, he and his family will deal such situation. But I guess, we should not infer something negative to what has been shared from social media.

With all his success and resources, wouldn't struggle with issues like this. But addiction doesn't discriminate. It just goes to show that addiction can creep up on anyone, no matter how much money or success you have. It's not just about financial constraints; it's about the psychological and emotional factors at play. Even if he wasn't necessarily upset about losing money, neglecting those special moments with family is a big deal.

This is a good reminder for all of us to be mindful of how we spend our free time. There's nothing wrong with enjoying some poker, but like anything else, balance is important. Setting boundaries and knowing when to step away from potentially addictive behaviors is key.

Gamble responsibly

I have been an addict before but it did not go much to the extent that my family will be celebrating and I will be gambling. I think Neymar may be addicted to gambling if what is said about him is true. I think he is using big amount to gamble and that makes him not to stop gambling during the celebration.
