Gambling addiction doesn't come from this kind of children play. But a committed online or offline casinos with betting and continues skill games like slot and others. Friendly games are for pleasure and leisure time. And for one to be addicted he has to be committed to on the game he lose most and chase his lose at all means to win his loss back then with a short period of time he will become the latest gambling addict in the industry.
If you want to know if someone can be addicted to gambling then let the person face real gambling games and not playing cards games with friends. But playing with friends is the beginning or road to the real life games.

Im with you. Friendly games really do leisure and pleasure. That said, observing someone's behavior in these games can indeed provide insights into their potential gambling habits. For example, when playing cards at home, does a person tend to play recklessly or are they more cautious? These behaviors can be quite telling about how they might handle the more serious aspects of gambling.
Addiction is very natural. Being friendly usually means learning everything from a friend. When this free time turns into an addiction to bet on a friend, it is difficult to control oneself no matter how careful you are. Gambling is a type of game when play becomes more than just the joy of play when the game sinks in. A person should learn to control his own behavior then he will never become reckless.

You make a great point about the nature of addiction. And I agree with it. But also it's worth noting that addiction doesn't typically develop from a single game. It usually develops gradually making it crucial to recognize early warning signs.  Perhaps, friends and family can make a big difference in addressing these signs early and positively. It's all about caring for each other and enjoying activities responsibly.

I completely agree with your perspective. Playing games in a casual, friendly setting really strips away the high pressure elements. I think it's more about enjoying the time together the absence of serious consequences in friendly games keeps it all in good fun.
Playing games in a relaxed atmosphere usually doesn't matter about winning or losing because a person or group of people is enjoying their holiday or spending their free time with their friends. I sometimes do things like that, although not too often because I'm hampered by my own personal busyness, but things like that are quite fun, especially if our friends have the same frequency in playing the game regardless of winning or losing.

And I don't think it's a bad thing to spend time with your family especially if it creates a special bond with other members. You are just playin to really have time to each other. Hopefully this kind of game won't turn slowly to game for money. Because only then the atmosphere will change. You no longer play to enjoy but to win over other people.

I think it's not about the frequency of playing as long as you are not neglecting other areas of your life. It is also about the intention why everyone is playin. Are they playing to enjoy time with family or to make money?

Absolutely, it’s really about balance and the reasons behind why we play. Playing for fun and family time is so much more rewarding than just focusing on winnings.
