Whether or not poker is a real money game is a matter of opinion. There are many people who believe that poker is a real money game, while others believe that it’s not.
Some people argue that poker is not real money because there is no cash element to it. Others argue that there is no cash element to poker because the chips that players use are not actual currency.
Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on the definition of “real money.” If we define “real money” as cash that has a real-world value, then poker definitely qualifies as real money.
If, however, we define “real money” as a game in which the outcome can have real-world consequences (such as losing your home), then many people would argue that poker is not real money because there is no direct financial stake in the game.
