I think it's important to be able to relax in something other than gambling. There are a lot of ways to relax and enjoy yourself. This can be travel, sports, hobbies, creativity and many other things. If a person relaxes only by gambling, sooner or later it will lead to the loss of a significant amount of money.

respond to the hobby you mentioned.
gambling is a hobby that can be done and there is nothing wrong with it as long as the gambler is a professional. because professional gamblers have a strategy to avoid big losses and when they get a win they will stop gambling immediately.
different from gambling addicts who only think about their emotional satisfaction that can not be controlled and will lose more money.
it doesn't matter for me to channel my hobby into gambling as long as the gambler can control his emotions.

I rather agree with Unsoldier.
I understand that gambling is not a very good option in order to relax normally.
On the contrary, gambling will lead to psychological stress anyway. And they absolutely cannot be considered an option to relax and enjoy the moment. Of course, meditation or yoga classes are also good for relaxing any person and player, but not gambling, which involves experiences and sometimes even stress.
I don’t even remember gambling addiction, which, as you know, can be classified as a mental illness.

as @BobK71 said it all depends on the person to choose to gamble or relax with family making small moments to enjoy when there is free time.
i'm just saying that actually gambling is also a hobby, but it can be said to be an extreme hobby because if you can't control yourself it will make you stressed because you lose a lot of money.
and myself sometimes if my leisure time is very long i will choose a relaxing vacation with my wife and children. but if my free time is just a little, i spend it relaxing on the gambling platform

I like gambling in my free time. If at any time I see that I am more addicted to gambling then I stop gambling and go out. It's a lot of fun to roll gambling dice.
