yes, it changes the image of a person in society, especially people who have strong religious knowledge,
Gambling is not allowed, and when it is done it will change the image of someone who looks good to bad,
but if we do gambling online it will be safer, because we can hold privacy and avoid crowds.
I guess right now many gamblers will prefer to play gambling online because they don't want to tell other people. They feel better if they playing gambling without anyone knows so they can enjoy the games without thinking about their reputation. But some gamblers don't care about the reputation in their society because they have money, they can use that money for anything they want. People could still talk about them even to make their reputation become bad, but that person will not think too serious.
It depends on the location and how gamblers are seen and it also depends on the kind of name you have earned for yourself already. There are some people that can even win people into gambling by mere knowing they are gamblers. I started gambling the day I knew my pope gambles.
I remembered the first time I went on a visit to my reverend residential home, and he was so focused on his system, asked us to give us a little time and that he would soon be done with his work, not less than 30 minutes, he ended the game and told us he was playing a gambling game. I was shocked to my nerves because it was the first time I was seeing someone of such caliber gamble, he told us he played for fun and made us realize, the joy and benefits of gambling, from that day, I saw gambling differently.
