Absolutely, it can still be called gambling even without money involved. The essence of gambling is staking something of value on an uncertain outcome. Money is often the most common "thing of value," but it could be anything from a prized possession to a person's time. So when playing a game for non-monetary stakes, such as pride, points, or even bragging rights, it can still be considered gambling if there's a risk and uncertainty involved.

Remember, the thrill of gambling comes from the uncertainty, not necessarily the prospect of winning money. Enjoy your games responsibly, whether they involve money or not!
What the heck are you talking about? The majority gamble in order to win big money and not for fun or the uncertainty factor. If there is no money involved, it cannot be called gambling at all.

The minority gamble for fun and the uncertainty factor matters to them, but it still can't be called gambling when money isn't involved.
And I think that just the opposite, more players play for the pleasure of playing and having fun and gambling in their free time.  And in general, almost all people and players are even more well aware of the rule that "the casino never loses."  And those who think that now he will win a lot of money and then more ... And more ... I think they will be disappointed.  And then such a player comes to a sensible idea that what he lost is the price for the pleasure of playing.  But there may be rare cases when a person won a large amount of money and abruptly stopped playing. 
But this is probably a very rare case of sanity during the game.  Smiley
