However, people still gamble for various reasons.

We can assume that the people who still gamble are not from the religion that prohibits it or if they are they are not very religious. In reality too, almost every religion is averse to gambling, Islam is the only one I know that expressly prohibits any form of riba which will include gambling and also investing in Bitcoin, but Christianity is not welcoming of gambling either or any other religion for that matter.

I do not expect anyone to openly here discuss how they participate in something that is expressly prohibited by their religion.

There are some religions that have strict views on gambling, some considering it morally wrong. However, people still gamble for various reasons.

Have you ever faced any conflicts between your religious beliefs versus gambling? How it happen and how did you handle it?
How do different religions view gambling? What could be the reasons behind it?

For me it's just that a moral standard that I need not to violate. I view gambling not as gambling but as risk taking opportunity. It only becomes gambling to me in a negative point of view when I become fully degenerate, not follow my rules, and just foolishly act upon my impulses and emotion. It's a signal for me that I am doing the wrong thing.

But when I follow my rules, that I remain in control of my actions and decisions. I even feel like God is guiding me to take the risk. (Don't get me wrong). It think it's bad when you constantly put yourself in that position, not take accountability, and blame your beliefs and other people from your own actions.
