Based on that definition I think gambling can be considered as a hobby though money is involved but as long as you are having fun and responsible on it it is all good.

No matter the true definition gambling is hobby as long as it has a form of fun in your spare time and sometthing that you enjoy regardless of final outcome.
At the moment when you relay on gambling as a only source of income or additional source of money it becomes much more serious, you put much more effort and time in it and it can't no longer be defined as a hobby.

This is whats the most important thing on here is that on the time whether you do make it as a hobby but you are really that still on strict when it comes on spending up your money or finances then there would really be no issues. People do really just love on making out some conclusions that they are really that becoming that addicted if they would really be dealing up with gambling on day to day basis or something that its been part of their daily routine on which it is really that true but we know that there are really that individuals who are really that good when it comes to managing themselves and there are ones who are not. On the time that they would really be experiencing out those kind of issues then this is the moment that they would really be finding themselves that they have done too much engagement.

Just like been said that on the time that you are already spending too much time and money then this is something that cant be called hobby but rather this is already an addiction
which this something that we do need to avoid.
