I have to wonder if some people don't understand how card games work. Do they think if the game contains an ace of spades it must be gambling? Most card games don't involve gambling at all and even those that do don't have to use actual currency. Do kids not play card games and bet with matchsticks anymore?
I once had a professor who very seriously apologized to the class for bringing up a certain topic. It was playing cards. We were learning about probability. I was shocked that he thought he had to apologize about something I've played with my whole life.
Would he also apologize about money, since money is also used in gambling?
"But money has other uses!" ... So do playing cards.
Except money is what makes gambling problematic! Lol
In French, problematic gambling, as in "having a gambling problem", is literally called "jeux d'argent". Money games.
