Poker sport or gambling?

[infonazar]

For you, is poker a sport or a game of chance?

For me, poker is a sport, my victory is primarily a sporting interest. Of course, I also need money, but I play poker primarily for the sake of the game itself. Money for me is just a pleasant side effect

poker is gambling, it is certainly not a sport.

 

[Remargo]

For me, playing for money is always a thrill

Scientifically proven, poker is a sport, you depend on skill and not luck to win at poker

I think poker is 101% gambling - and those who say something about its “sports” component most likely cannot be honest with themselves.

Poker is gambling that's why you find it in a casino & not in the olympics.

 

[Igor Popadyk]

for me it’s an intellectual game for money, although rooms are increasingly turning this game into a casino

I would say poker is gambling as you have the potential to lose money.
Skilled players can therefore gain an edge and make money from it.
But is it a sport? It has similar aspects like strategy and you do burn more calories playing a strategic game rather than sitting doing nothing so maybe it is but not as a traditional considered sport game which is physical.
