I'm muslim. For me it's sin absolutely. Because Kuran doesn't let it. Undoubtedly, for my religion gambling is devil's trick. By gamble devil make breaks between people, and keeps away people from worship and their religion. But I think on other religions playing on casino sites is not sin. In general, no benefit from gambling.
Your religion is trying to protect you from gambling problems. If you are taught for your own benefit then you may or may not follow some belief. But if it is being taught in the name of God then definitely you will obey to that. Gambling is a thing, every human must avoid, when it is categorized as sin then we should not touch for any reasons.
While most people can gamble and suffer no ill consequences of doing so, there is a small minority that will suffer the consequences and that is why religious authorities try to protect them with rules like that but unfortunately for those that cannot control themselves most of the time the rules are not followed.
Religion shouldn't be a general reason i guess ,
Take it personally and we might good to go to discuss about this ,
When you have a strict environtment around you about gambling then just obey it ,
Gambling is a sin or not are your own responsibility , just don't harm people .

If you are religious, or if you feel you have a religion, then you have to do everything and treat everything based on religion. Because if you ignore the rules of religion it is the same as you do not believe in your religion. If you want to gamble, then you should know the gambling law on your religion. Once you know it, then it's up to you, just make sure you continue it or not.
yes no doubt that it is too much important to me in my religion gambling is not legal and therefore it is consider as sin. but I can see that still a lot of people are playing gambling arguiging that they are playing gambling for fun and enjoyment only, but I do not think that there is any fun and enjoyment in bitcoin if money is not involve there.

If gambling is forbidden in your religion, then whatever your purpose in gambling is still a sin. Because sin can not turn into no sin Just because you do not consider it a sin. That's worse than when you do not know if Gambling is a sin. If you already know gambling is a sin And you're still Gambling, it's your business, you're taking a risk.
If we are talking on religious aspect we would really able to say that gambling is really a sin and as you said even how matter we said that its not a sin since it been told their that committing such thing is a sin then it already been considered and you cant really avoid such thing.

Religions just protect the weak people who can't think for themselves, so they need a religion to tell them what to say and think about their existence and about what to do or not on this life. There wouldn't be problems in gambling if everyone were mentally strong, but religions forbid it because they know weak people will be consumed by the game and will lose everything. Strong people could gamble and stop anytime without problems.

For me the addiction is a sin, but normal, aware gambling not.

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.

As far as i know gambling is prohibited in some religion so if you believe in religion it's a sin to gamble. There are also some countries that banned gambling so you should be careful if tou want to gamble. For me gambling is not a sin, it's just another means to have fun.

Many religions have textual writings in their holly books forbidding all kinds of gambling or profits based on loans and illegal investments . Gambling is a way to hurt itself and that's why it's forbidden i guess , because the human life and the physical body is to be preserved by the person .

Perhaps in some religions gambling is a sin, but I do not think so. If a person knows how to control himself, then you can play for pleasure, and if you are lucky, you can improve your financial situation.

For me it is not really a sin to gamble as long as you don’t involve anyone and as long as nothing bad happens. If you gamble play only to your limitations. Don't stretch on what you have and gamble all the way, I think that will be a sin. But still reasons differ from people specially if one is too religiously devoted then for then it is really a sin to gamble.

It is ok, There's nothing wrong in Gambling (for real). The only thing that's wrong is when we can't control it and we became addicted to it. Cause if that happen, we might do things beyond the borders (Stealing and worst is killing) and that's the SIN. In Gambling alone I think it's not bad to have fun and enjoy, though just control it and be cautious.

We actually need to set out a clear definition of sin and then compare it to gambling before we will be able to determine whether gambling is a sin or not, until the is established all what we are doing is speculation and nobody will understand outside of his/her own conviction.

Really you have a good idea, when we do gambling using money that is not our right, then that's what we can regard as sin.
Like the definition you mentioned. I do not know what will happen if there is a person who becomes a gambler addict maybe that is what brings people closer to sin
If you consider hurting yourself a sin then surely gambling is a wrong deed. It does not only hurt the gamblers but also their closer ones. I think all the religions of the world consider harming any human without a valid reason, a sin. In my point of view gambling is definitely not a virtue.
Indeed a gamble of sin, but back to itself, gambling is a tool to excite pleasure if they win well and vice versa. They just want to have fun, no different from dating someone you love or by drinking alcohol Cheesy
i think different people have different view about bitcoin. some people consider it as a sin, while other people consider gambling as legal currency, to me i consider gambling as a sin, because i my religion gambling not allowed and is also not allowed by our state therefore i can say that gambling is a sin and if a personally is still playing it he is really committing a sin.

When you think you are already a hardly-addicted gambler, professional help is necessary. It is a fact that most gamblers won't agree with but it is the reality. If you guys have browsed deep enough in the forum, you may have read about Mrkyle (no offense, plus I admire him for keeping up his promise to his investors).

Probably not, Because as long as your not doing anything wrong to your neighbor nor harm them but only to play in the gambling site, I think it is still not a sin. But gambling can be a tools to lead us to sin Smiley

It's true, probably it may not be a sin as long you know what you do and it's your money. And what if you will only gamble for $5? Is it that a sin already, in Islam this is already a sin but you are not hurting nor annoying others, so there should be some consideration on what is the effect when you gamble from others and for yourself.

In most religions I know of gambling is a sin as it promotes greediness in people and some sort of  inequality among people when they make a lot of money, but of course others might argue that in some rare cases it elevates one standard of living such that the come from rags to riches which removes them from suffering. Afaik people are reluctant about the whole gambling is a sin these days Roll Eyes
I don't  believe it's a sin because I am doing it regularly, gambling does not destroy my life and in fact I am having fun doing it.
With that said, I guess if you are not responsible in gambling you will not gonna enjoy gambling and that way you will sin but not the gambling establishment itself.
I don’t agree with you at all. Gambling is sin from religious point of view. It is destructive in nature because the gamer gets addicted to it. After addiction, majority loses all in order to double their money. All are not wise like you. If you are making profit continuously, that is just because your odds are with you.


Well, it is right and i think everyone accept it that most of the religious not allow to play gambling and gambling is a sin for them.
But you should read again his thread, he is not talking about religious, he is just saying that gambling is not sin for him.
Because gambling always give him profit and all the time he has luck in gambling, That the reason he don't think that gambling is a sin.

I think that only strongly believing people can consider the game as a sin, but without reasonable entertainment when you can control yourself the world would be very boring.

It will be boring to have a live without gambling, atleast for me I think like that but for some people it is not really entertainment but only a way of making money that is why they dont think it as a sin either but it doesnt matter if it is a sin or not because I will still play to have some fun
The people who gamble just for the sake of fun have no worries at all. They only gamble because it is quite a good time pass for them.

In this case, gambling could not be considered as a sin at all because such sort of people does not use wrong ways to earn capital. On the other hand, some are profit seeking gamblers and have a great care of their losses and wins. In a nut shell, gambling could be considered a moral issue if your main aim behind it is to earn money.
