Is this man addicted to gambling?

[lienfaye]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

[pinkpanther03]

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.

[J Gambler]

This is like my friend before but he is died right now he didn't withdraw his money i know he almost made up 100 bitcoin in a month this is how i idolize his skill on how to play gambling with his low deposit. Poker is the best gambling for him his favorite his day is not complete when he didn't pay poker.

[2double0]

Addiction doesn't have to do anything with money here, in case he plays for fun purpose. But still, being addicted is something like you do it continuously and you don't have a hold on yourself to stop and move on to different things, so stopping himself for a day or two cannot be considered as a complete leave from gambling, so it is better not to play it too much. Else, the time is not too far when he will start using his own money too for this.

First, stopping for day or two doesn't mean that he's not addicted. Gamblers that are addicted can stop playing for week, but they still will think about gambling every day, they will want to gamble more and more each day.

And second, he can be addicted even if he doesn't spend his money, just problem is that if he will get very addicted to it, he might start gambling with his own money, and that is a big problem

I do not think being addicted is measured by how often the person return to the gambling house.  It is measured by how he lost himself whenever it comes to gambling.  How he manage his bankroll and his financial system.  If you see that he is spending all for gambling then this man is really addicted.

He is not addicted yet but if he continues like this , returning to the poker website very often will surely become addicted after some time. The fact that he doesn't play with his own money means nothing. If he has not been nervous before but has started to show these signs after he started playing poker this surely is a part of gambling addiction. If I were you I would get your friend to get some psychological help, being in the fifties is really a bad age to start being addicted to gambling.

When you're old, you already have a lot of time. If he made enough money or have established a business when he was younger, he doesn't have that much to do. He will be bored and gambling is one of the most common ways to stop being all so bored.

One thing I can say about this, you can quit gambling until you can't. How long will it last that he can quit whenever he want, we don't know. But at some point he will get so involved in gambling and quitting it will be really hard especially if he have made friends in the casino already that are expecting him to show up every night.

yes you are right. Many people do not stop from gambling and they come again and again to gamble but we cannot call these people as addicted people to gambling as there are many people in them who have full control on themselves and the know how to manage their bankroll and they care for their future.
