Religion calls people to follow the righteous path only. However, it is better for us all people of Islam to stay away from gambling and usury because in Islam these two words are mentioned the most in the Quran. Here fiat is equivalent to usury because fiat is giving money rather than receiving it. Quran tells people how to earn honestly and halal and haram are all mentioned in Quran.
yes you are right it's just that the OP asked in the wrong place sometimes not many people want to talk about religion in this forum maybe only a handful of people because of course it is sensitive even though we also know that in Islam there are Haram and Halal laws that must be obeyed and followed to be a good servant obedient to religion

~ Maybe in religion, it is not explained clearly that gambling is prohibited. But actually, people already know that they should not do that.
Jesus Christ never said anything bad about gambling, and Judaism, like Christianity, doesn't oppose games of chance. So, gambling is not a sin, but greed is. "Don't be greedy", that's what religious people say. But it sounds familiar, innit? I keep encountering these very words on various gambling forums, including this one. Gamble for the sake of entertainment, nor for the purpose of profit. And entertainment is nowhere forbidden, neither in Bible nor in Quran.

But if someone has knowledge about that if Gambling is allowed or prohibited in Jewish or Christ Faith.
Personally, what you believe is a sin is what condemns you, so it's up to you on this subject matter. However, I can't say for Jews as I am a Christian, and frankly, no church or pastor/evangelist that is truly called by God would encourage you to gamble, yet Christians are still doing this as free will.Furthermore, I've not seen a bible passage that condemns gambling, but the preachers of the gospel believe that Christians should shun what is addictive, just like alcohol taking and others. This is just the philosophy at which they condemn it.

Don't know what Jewish think about gambling or see it as sin or not but in some religions as you said Muslim it's treated as Sin because they found it as bad habit but it all depends on how you see it and if you are controlling yourself.The religion practices found it bad because in the early times people use to gamble a lot and due to it we have seen some wars happening and people losing money and family disturbance but in the modern age it as now entertainment for people but depends on gambler if he is having self control.But if you see it as bad following your religion you should stay away from it.

There's no need to mention any religion, but I'm sure when it comes to an activity that could harm the person doing it, it would be considered a sin, but as far as I know haram is only synonymous with Islam, I apologize if I'm wrong but other religions would use the term sin more.
Gambling is often considered as an activity that can be destructive or detrimental although this is not 100% true because there are gamblers who can carry out their activities responsibly by only considering gambling as an activity for pleasure not for making money and being responsible for only using the money that is allocated for gambling.

I know that this is very silly and religious question but I think that this should be Discussed.
According to me, As I am Muslim, Gambling is Haram and there are very reasons behind this. And also I do not much about another religions. But if someone has knowledge about that if Gambling is allowed or prohibited in Jewish or Christ Faith. And I think many people have many mind sets.
I do not want to hurt someone's feeling by talking about Religious Comments.

I'm a Christian but there are many Christian sects and denominations, as a rule, Christians do not support or allow gambling but there is a certain sect that allows it for entertainment purposes, it depends on their interpretation of the Bible and what their spiritual leader's stance, I am part of the Christian sect that does not support excessive gambling but our pastor reminds us that anything excess in gambling is bad and the love of money is the root of all evil, with this we should treat gambling as a form of entertainment.

I don't see what to gain by discussing such topics and the religions associated with gambling. Any benefits?
If you don't know about other religions' approaches towards gambling, there's a Google search for that.
There will be no right and wrong argument here because we will only stand on what we believe is right. The discussion will just turn into a non-stop exchange of our own religious views. No need to technically put a discussion here related to that.

Come out of religious belief. What your religion will do with your losses and frustrating moments of gambling. If gambling is not prohibited in one religion means that religion followers are safe to consequences of gambling? I mean the gambling must be treated as sin by all the human because it is really injurious to our wealth and health. Do not mind about what your religion is saying about anything but approach things in scientific and by morale way; I am not talking about only gambling but all the aspects of human life.If snake's venom is poisonous to human means why no religion things are not applied here? Similarly, something is harmful (proven by science or experience) then it is applicable to all human and not limited to religion facts.
(I am not atheist but I hate dividing people in the name religions).
If you are among it then you are safe about the consequences of gambling. Nothing wrong with gambling as long as it is done properly or in moderation. If you play that way, you will only experience its benefits.

To be honest, I don't want to talk about this, because matters related to religion or beliefs would be very sensitive to discuss. If possible I would choose to ask questions directly to friends or people who have a religion or belief that will be asked. But OP has opened this topic and many have responded to the questions OP asked. I hope Op can find an answer to what was asked.

In Christianity, there is no where gambling is mentioned in the bible that it is a sin. In the church, pastor will not even want to talk about gambling. But if a pastor is asked if gambling is a sin, he would say the love of money is the root of all evil and uses some chapters in the bible to discourage you which can be followed with some practical examples of how some people lost to gambling. All he will be pointing to is that it is better not to gamble.
But not where in the bible that gambling is referred to as a sin in christianity.

It is true that there is no book in the bible that directly talks about gambling. The closest tjat can be said about the bible talking about gambling will be areas it talks about casting lot, covetousness or love for money. That is how we can say it is referred to in the bible because all that has the attribute as gambling which seeks to profit more in monetary term. This is why you do not get a true born again getting involved in gambling.

To be honest, I don't want to talk about matters involving belief or religion because this is very sensitive. if you try to analyze it from the side of faith, it will not be in line with this discussion. and I think you already know the answer. in essence, if you want to live the Shari'a according to your beliefs. So, all you have to do is stay away from any restrictions that are against your beliefs and it's very simple.
but believe me, any excessive things will always be in conflict and are not recommended with any beliefs.
I don't need to explain it, because I think you can easily understand what I mean. in essence, faith is about the individual and we can not interfere with someone with what he believes.
IMO. if I refer to a belief, then gambling is not justified. however, in this era these types of bets have become part of modern entertainment. Regarding belief, it is a personal matter between me and my God.

Of course I am also Muslim. Gambling is Haram in Mluslim Religion. Play gambling is a grave sin in Muslim religion. But I think in another religion like Christian or Jewish etc gambling also Haram and many people think that this is not a good thing who belong to other religion. So I think gambling is also sin in other religion.

In Christianity gambling is wrong as it opposes the bible's teaching. If you look at 1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils". As our preacher explains gambling leads you to be greedy. It can be associated with one's compulsion in gambling, or gambling addiction.
These are connections and it doesn't indicate gambling. Money is the root for all evils, because when people go behind money they get involved in all things that shouldn't be done. The verse from the book of Timothy fits for everything.In John 2:16, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” Does that mean he's against trading.

Any religion tries to protect people from all sorts of passions. Gambling, although not condemned, can lead a person to sin. A person overwhelmed by greed will not be able to stop in time in the game. This results in various kinds of crimes, whether it is the complete sale of one's property for the sake of continuing the game or an act associated with theft, and maybe even killing other people.
Therefore, all religions teach us meekness, patience, and prudence. I do not think that this list can include participation in gambling.

Gambling is not really condemned as a sin in Christians but as a Christian, the love of money and the attempts of getting rich quick is always discourage since it will lead to committing crimes in the long run. And since gambling focuses on money and how to gained more of it, so priests and pastors always discourage the people to stay away from gambling as it’s a clear manifestation for the love of money. But not where in the bible that gambling is referred to as a sin in christianity.

If you were to follow that part you wouldn't invest in bitcoin, because I feel like we all do it for the love of money
IMO we shouldn't be limited by religion. It's role is to make us feel good about our human mistakes and downfalls. It's not meant to make us vulnerable and being afraid to offend GOD is making yourself vulnerable.
Therefore if anything is halal of haram it should only be considered a guidance, not a rule.

Well, gambling itself is not, but greed is. Which means if you are gambling for a charity lets say, and if you lose your money it goes to charity, and if you win then it still goes to charity and that's it, then I am guessing that it is not going to be a sin, but if you gamble regularly like we do, for money, to earn money, that is greed and that is a sin.
There are 7 deadly sins as we all know and you could put many of them on gambling easily, which shows you that it is a sin. The act itself is not, the feeling of it when you commit the act is the real sin. This is why I am pretty sure that it is a sin in all known religious because it doesn't bring out the best in people, even if not the act, then the emotions.

I think the matter of whether the act of gambling is a sin or not in the Judeo-Christian Faith lies on the fact that some Christians condone the act of gambling, as it is adjacent to the act of worshipping money, something that the Messiah entirely antagonized during one of his lessons. But some of these new-founded congregations seem to be lenient in the act of gambling and does not see it as a grave sin as it was back then. Anyhow, church leaders are tight-lipped in this matter, especially because if they say it's because money is the root of all evil, they'd make it as if they are outing themselves as evil organizations that profit from the pockets of their followers. So for the Judeo-Christian faith, there's really a complicated discussion for whether gambling is bad and should not be done. According to me, As I am Muslim, Gambling is Haram and there are very reasons behind this. And also I do not much about another religions. But if someone has knowledge about that if Gambling is allowed or prohibited in Jewish or Christ Faith. And I think many people have many mind sets.

we all know within our self that gambling is not something to be proud of but its now a way to show your success to friends though.
its not enjoyable to see yourself watching sports on tv without something to expect if your team won.
are we going to stop gambling if the bible and quran says gambling is forbidden? lets just ask forgiveness after winning.
