You can't associate poker players with gambling either. Those are two completely different things. Of course you need luck with poker but you don't just depend on luck and that's the big difference. I think that poker is also older than (online) gambling. I'm still curious when online poker became popular and when it came on the market and originated. You also don't hear many new poker sites appearing, while at casinos and bookmakers you see one bookmaker after another emerging and new to the business.
Wow. Your explanation is invalid. Of course we can associate poker players with gambling.
There are millions of poker players around the world that gamble on their game. While this can be true for other sports, it is a very specific fact about poker. Sure you can know how to play poker and still not gamble on it, but that's definitely not the case here. If you think about it, poker is mathematically just a different game of probability. You have a certain set of odds as to whether you will win or lose.
Every gambling games has a tendency of being enlisted on casino games regardless of it operational mode as long as it serving it purpose on gamblers, that's why one of the reasons you find them all in common is because they share similar name in the area of being used as game which also referred to as gambling games, also, we cannot derive a conclusion in saying poker is not a gambling game because everyone games has it own risk and luck as well both the proportion is ehat makes the difference.
