In many religions, gambling is indeed considered a sin, but despite this, there are still individuals who choose to engage in gambling activities. It is true that religion alone may not be the sole determining factor for someone to change their behavior. Ultimately, it is up to the individual's personal beliefs, values, and choices. Religion serves to teach people what is considered right or wrong, but the acceptance and adherence to these teachings depend on the individual's own decisions and level of commitment.

I think it's obvious that yes.
there are religions that require a series of "forced" almost anti-natural actions, I'm not mentioning anything specifically, however .... asking not to bet it could be considered as something normal.

keep doing it secretly? certain religions admit error as an intrinsic part of faith.
in theory I think it's something acceptable. but I think also that each specific case is something apart...

I'm not specific to any religion and hopefully, no members here will mention any religion, the topic is in general and not specific to one's religion

Can a compulsive gambler that is newly converted to one religion, compel him to stop gambling?

When we talk about religion it's about changing our ways, ideas, and beliefs so when we successfully help one compulsive gambler to convert from an example to an atheist to one's religion can we compel him to stop gambling?

Is it possible that he will continue playing but secretly?


Not actually if you are a compulsive there's still a big chance that you came back and gamble. Gambling is forbidden by Islam but I know one of my neighbor still doing it despite that its been discourage to do on their religion. So having this said its still depends on the person since no one can stop each individual to participate on activities related to gambling. Maybe there's a time they would stop buy for sure they came back especially when they start to get bored then still have an access to any gambling platform.

It all depends on the conditions attached, if the gambler newly converted is also a newbie to gambling he may easily quit and be submissive to his new faith, also if he's left with no alternatives than to depends on them for his survival then he has to go by thier dictates especially when the new religion doesn't allow gambling, but if in the case of an addicted gambler, am sorry they will have alot of efforts to give

Don't be surprised people change, especially when they have passion for what they are doing, if he truly determined to change, he can achieve that over time gradually.

He may later be caught so it's better not to start what will lead to shame, if he can't cope with their rules then he should alert them.

This is kind of off-topic and not relate to gambling discussion or gambling.

Humans are of complex behavior and anything can change them at anytime. Humans can have one behavior today and change tomorrow to something better or worst. That is just how people are.

You can see someone that give the testimony that after he become a religious person, that he is no more gambling again. You can see someone that sees it as fun because not all they call a sin in a religion that some people think are sin, example is fun gambling (and not addiction gambling) and moderate drinking of alcohol.

But in short, people are different and people's way of thinking are different. Religion may let someone not to gamble again but some people will continue to gamble. That is just how people are.
