Not really with a small mindset. People who feel lonely somehow are the ones who lose their appetite for talks due to heartbreaks and failures, they sometimes find comfort in playing games. If they were just interested in computer games like DOTA, they would play those games but adults usually find things that are for adults.

like venting his loneliness into playing video games, right?
sometimes everyone has a different outlet and not only young people but adults sometimes vent their loneliness by playing video games and I myself sometimes do this when I'm lonely instead of having to vent it in gambling.
maybe it's true that all of this depends on the mindset of a gambler. those who have a healthy mindset will definitely make efforts to relieve loneliness by doing something positive and providing a sensation of pleasure. but the problem is that sometimes video games make you annoyed, just like gambling, sometimes playing video games and getting a losing streak actually gives you the sensation of being annoyed and wanting to get angry and for me, what is more appropriate to vent this loneliness is better to come to a friend or relative's house to talk about something fun, that's much better good for adults.
If one is lonely that person should not try getting involved into gambling just because he or she is lonely but he or she should try to keep him or her self busy by doing other things like playing a video game or listening to music or still, watching TV.
Many people do get involved into gamble and they do not know the how tough gamble can be sometimes, but truth be told that if a gambler do not know about any game he or shw should not stake because less Knowledge can make a gambler lose more money in gamble.
