i play poker many times.
but didn't involved money in this game.so it's just a game for me.

Are you playing on other place than online casino, maybe you are playing with free-rolls tournaments so there you can play the poker without taking risk of money, poker is favorite game of gambling so that I think so playing poker is gambling.

Free roll tournaments are the best, you have fun for free and make a small profit so nice. Playing poker is not gambling entirely. You have a certain level of control over the outcome unlike gambling where you have none.

You risk your time if you play free roll. Everything in life is a gamble really.  Lets say you can multi table 20 freerolls per hour and you average earnings = $5 per hour its a waste of time for most people.

Sure there's a certain level of control, but in the end whether you lose or not is defined by your luck.

No amount of bluffing or skill is gonna win you any money if you constantly get low cards, luck plays a very important role in poker.

yeah you can call all these games whatever you like, you can call them gambling or you can call them money making machine.
but at the end of the day they are all following the same rule, and that is the rule of luck and it doesn't matter how skilled you are there will always be someone else more skilled than you which will beat you.

Well, poker is a game that comes from the casino, and it is a game that is commonly used for gambling. but if you do not use the betting in play, I think it's just a mind game and not gambling. but this is just my opinion, it is not gambling if you're not risking anything in it

Poker is one of the oldest gamble game, I also like to consider it like other gambling games, it is a little bit a different when we play against other players not with machine, I like to enjoy to play poker but not on regular with my daily routine only when I have nothing to do.

Its known as advantage gambling, i used to play serious and never considered it gambling at all even though money would go up and down.  At the end of the month i was always up since i played so many tables/hands.

Not sure why is this even a topic in here. Anyone who has a functioning brain knows that the answer to this question is "Yes." Playing poker is a gambling activity for you are risking your money in hopes that you'll win and the money would return with profit.

OP's asking if it's still a gambling activity if it's in a tournament. Of course, no matter what type of round that is, as long as you risk money, poker is still a gambling activity.


Do you think that it is considered all across the world as gambling?

Why wouldn't it be considered as gambling on the other part of the world? The same thing applies to any part of the world. Poker is gambling.

Of course it's gambling.  You're betting money in a game, and any game that you can find in a casino is gambling.   

I assume that religions that prohibit gambling include poker as a subset of that, though I've not talked to god lately.

when you don't know what you are doing then everything will turn to gambling , so poker for newbies is gambling but those newbies will have better results and they will start making money when they understand the game
it's possible to make money constantly in poker but you need to have the skills for that , and those skills require experience
so basically in poker every player start as a loser when he just starts playing , but with time and if you study the game you will start making money.

Well if you play poker with someone and bet your money, well its now called gambling. Any games that has a relation/involve in money is a gambling even though that for you its not. I think casino has a poker game, so it is gambling then.
