yes it is, i also gambled because i just want to take a rest for a so tiring day, then i will choose to gambled, i gamble when my free time or spare time in that case i will control myself from spending money too much. it is not bad to gamble, what wrong is being too much greedy and being to much addicted on it, because it will leads you to problems to you and for others and it might lose all of your money.
I choose to play for fun as well and I admit that I do spend alittle amount of money everytime I do this. I feel good when I play and it help me to forget my problem and my stress. If I have to admit then I think although I have lose alot of money by gambling, it has helped me alot to relieve my stress as well
