Re: Is poker gambling?
Just agreeing with "poker is gambling" isn't right either, because the layman interprets that as "there is no skill involved". They'll equate it to buying a lottery ticket. It's more like the stock market, but you don't see the US government chase after online stock trading.
So even if it technically correct that poker is gambling ("wagering on an uncertain outcome"), you better well fight to redefine that statement, because the interpretation the general public has prevails and has big real life implications. Just ask those two neteller guys..
