Can a compulsive gambler that is newly converted to one religion, compel him to stop gambling?
Some people are religious, but they started gambling and even with their religion, they still became addicted to Gambling. Choosing not to gamble is not a decision influenced by religion, it is a personal decision. As an addicted gambler, you will stop gambling when you decide, if you cannot help yourself, then you need help, but admitting the need to change is the first thing to do. Your personal decision matters more and will be a stronger to make you stop gambling.
^That is a good thought, it should be a personal decision and not just because it is caused by religion. But it has an impact if you are a religious person because there are some compulsive gamblers who undergo a religious conversion, the newfound faith and its teachings may inspire a genuine desire to overcome their gambling addiction. The individual may find strength, support, and guidance within their religious community, which can assist them in refraining from gambling. However, in the end, the decision is still in you not because of them.

Is it possible that he will continue playing but secretly?
If only people of the world was true to all the doctrims of there religion, the world would have been a more safe place to live.Is it possible that he will continue playing but secretly?
In truth, there is no any one person in our world today that keeps to all the doctrims of there religion. All we can do is try but, its never enough and we are selective on what doctrim to follow and which not to. Tye onces that's suits us perhaps as it should be.
Still, gambling is just a game like any other. A game of prediction but, having a stake to it is the difference here and the main element of gambling. If one can keep to good morals even in there gambling activities, then its all cool.
Sometimes, we over rate religion.

Well the truth is that none of this things will ever happen suddenly and I wouldn't say that the convert will stick so easily but the fact is that fir a newly converted to actually focus and not get distracted to gamble at any point, he or she will actually need someone to be with them or constantly remind them of the consequences of the actions of persistent gambling and that is why the best place to get someone corrected from addiction is to take them to a correctional center or hospital so that they can be taken proper care of.
I know of cases where some religion speaks against gambling so hard and forbids its members from gambling but you'll agree with me that some of their members still gamble in secrets which is a prove that religion doesn't really matter but it's one's choice and behavioir.

It is possible that a religion can stop an addicted person to top gambing. The process of replacing the uncontrollable urge to gamble with the urge to to set things straight. Faith is a very powerful agent that can turn a person and its standpoint in an instance.
Once enlightened by religion, the person will definitely avoid or stop playing in casinos since the faith will serve as catalyst to make a gambling addict stop gambling. Remember gambling addiction occupies a person's state of mind, faith also occupies the person's state of mind, and with faith outweighing the urge to gamble then it can really serve as way to stop gambling addiction.
that willing to quit but honestly it isnt really that actually the sole reason because it is really just that a state of mind on which if you do really like to quit then you could quit right away but if not
then you would really be continuing on doing that.
So this one falls into that situation where it would really be totally depending on someones will and discipline whether it is really that under the influence of religion or not. We could eventually quit up gambling
if we wanted or simply with just that personal approach. Although it wouldnt be so easy knowing that addiction isnt something that so simple that could really be solved out.

I am sure some of them can, but some of them will struggle because addiction is not something you can pray away. But you definitely can use religion as a walking stick trough hard times. Usually person changes other patterns in their life as well, so it will be easier to stay away from addiction.Can a compulsive gambler that is newly converted to one religion, compel him to stop gambling?

Well obviously, but he would be doing it in secret because peer pressure of religious community. They wouldn't be trying to hide from deity they worship. Or they could even find loopholes from the religion to justify their gambling. Is it possible that he will continue playing but secretly?
All he needs is a phone to play just about any casino game he wants and he can play in public as long as no one is looking down his shoulder. Religion is not a very good combination when you are into casinos. But the goal of playing casino is to win and make money, religion will not make you money. AS a matter of fact, you lose more when you're required to give to those cults.
Someone must be in the church this gambler like so much such as a woman. That woman can change a gambler to stop the habit. Religion helped in a bit to unite them together.

That depends on the religion itself, there are religions which do not forbid gambling, so I would guess that an addicted gambler which converted to such religion will not have too much of an incentive to stop gambling as it is not forbidden, now there are some religions which do in fact forbid any kind of gambling, and if the conversion of that person to the tenets of that religion is true then it is possible they could stop gambling as a way to respect their new faith.

Depends on a certain person because whether you do transfer out from one religion to another or havent done it at all then its up to someone whether he would be stopping or not because we know that this would really be pertaining on someones control and will whether they would be stopping or not, which it isnt basing on religious aspects. Quitting gambling is really that basing on someones will and not on other factors but Can a compulsive gambler that is newly converted to one religion, compel him to stop gambling?

we know that there are indeed religion which is really that prohibiting gambling.If a certain individual is really that having that seriousness about divine things then he might really be having considerations on quitting
immediately because of being afraid on getting those kind of sins which is basing on religious aspect. But for sure that most of people wouldnt really be minding about whether its prohibited or not.
Gambling isnt really that bad as long you do really know your limits and we know that this is really just that something good for just fun.
the power that religion influences on a person is so great that it makes people become other people, and I'm not talking as if that were going to be a good thing, for example it's something normal for a person who likes gambling , when he joins one of these religious sects he stops gambling and then he will start telling all the people close to him that they should also stop gambling because God has shown him the whole truth, because God has shown him that gambling are things of the devil, I'm not exaggerating, I've already seen this because here in my country there are many different churches
these churches, different from my country, they brainwash people, and in my country, when people have a relative addicted to gambling, addicted to alcoholic beverages, they immediately take that person to church and after some time that person spends time in church, they leave while it's already someone else, it comes out while hating gambling and people who are playing gambling, it's something very scary, I saw a lot of people that I know who were people who liked games, they weren't addicted, they liked movies, they liked anime, but when they entered my country's church they completely changed

We cannot know 100% about the contents of a person's head and heart, so a gambler who has just converted (from an atheist to a religious believer) still has a tendency to play gambling secretly (it is difficult to fully recover 100%). gambling is addictive, without being monitored closely, then someone who has just recovered from his gambling addiction still has the opportunity to return to his bad habits, now it's back to that person, if he really has a strong determination to stop then he will definitely fight for it.
Some people are religious, but they started gambling and even with their religion, they still became addicted to Gambling. Choosing not to gamble is not a decision influenced by religion, it is a personal decision. As an addicted gambler, you will stop gambling when you decide, if you cannot help yourself, then you need help, but admitting the need to change is the first thing to do. Your personal decision matters more and will be a stronger to make you stop gambling.
You mean instant?
Nope off course, gambling is a habit. Need time and recovery to be able get out from addiction, there is no thing can quit instantly because everything need time until that person are 90-100% off gambling.
However, with religion things is the best thing to maximize your time into a good things.

Gambling is banned like drinking alcohol in a few religions and its not optional, it even might apply national where the country is based in that religion. So even legally you could be compelled not to continue. What actually happens in countries with bans on gambling is the gambling continues but conducted by the black market and without any oversight. You have to decide which is more important to you personally, I understand that some faiths require a strict less indulgent lifestyle but nobody is perfect.
I think gambling rule and faith should be a thing of choice, it should not be something they have to force people to do and not to do, but the government ofcourse can implement regulations. I personally think gambling is fun and it is profitable just like the way we have business that brings in profits. I mean no offense, look a Saudi Arabia that are spending millions of dollars of their oil money to buy players to come their country to play football but there are still some other parts of them that ban gambling, they see it as an act that goes against their believe and it is not suppose to be like that.

Religion and spirituality is very powerful. And it is a force for good.I have seen people break free from several addictions because when they embraced religion and spirituality. Religion and spirituality entails abstaining from sin and doing all you can to please a higher power. Immediately one embraces religion they become aware of the do's and don't. And depending on what the teaching of the religion says about gambling they are either inclined to continue or do all they can with the help of their new found community to quit.
In conclusion religion is a force for change especially for those who are seeking help to quit gambling.
This is only possible if the person is not an addicted gambler or a Chronic gambler and again such person's does really surrendered him or her self purely to the religion because I strongly understand every believer of any religion are a dedicated member who are truly routed into that commission and would never wants to act against their ethics and religious.
There have been occasions where persons who were addicted to a certain habit changed their minds, either due to a change in religion or an action that led to that shift. It makes no difference whether the person was an addict or not; once the mind is pushed to stop whatever it has been engaged in, he or she can just stop. In most circumstances, it is an instant, event, or occurrence that causes a change of mind to divert from what they were previously addicted to.

So, those who are merely converts may not stops gambling and until they understand the things of their doctrine and have fear to follow those things carefully may lead them to stop gambling, hence if the spirit is not convinced and the body is willing such person would certainly go back to gambling. Until the body and souls is routed and convinced then such persons will definitely quit gambling and must not be given a space otherwise whenever he comes to his carnal body he might go back to his past did.
Newly converted people should be given more time to adjust their previous habits if they violate the precepts of their new religion. It is not easy to break an old habit and begin a new one. Some religions consider acting against religious principles to be a test. And passing a test is not easy; it will take time for them to be able to leave that forever. If they are willing to quit such behavior and are truthful about it, they will certainly succeed over time.
I think it's simple that if a gambler listens to religion then he quits gambling, that's a personal matter. If someone does not leave that is also his personal matter. Every religion has commandments and prohibitions on various matters, but there are some who follow it and others who reject it. I would agree with many that even though some conduct gambling in disregard of religion, they may later return to religious ideals. Religion can show you good and bad but it is one's own responsibility to follow.
There's no religion that can save a compulsive gambler, much more if this gambler in question does not have any self-control and cannot practice restraint on his own.
Humans are creatures of habit, and our brains are programmed to go back to where it gets the most pleasure from. If you find pleasure in gambling, no matter how much you turn away from it, you will always feel the urge to go back and gamble. Though if you know how to control your urges and not let it get the better of you, this wouldn't be that much of a problem to you at all.
I know there are some religions out there that are extremely strict about gambling and related stuff, but again it's entirely reliant on the person whether to act on their urges or not.
