I think it is only a sin if the money you are using to gamble was not earned honestly. Other than that, gambling can be a hobby.

You're totally correct, gambling is not a sin at all which its our own choice to gamble which the money that we have is came from our own effort like our salary income. I would say it will be a sin when it involves life and death which you try to gamble. As what we all know gambling is just for pass time just take a breath from stressful moments in life, but some people take it seriously which can do bad thing due to their greediness.

Yes, for me gambling is not a sin if ever we do it in a right way, like for not cheating in order to win and like said that money is from the right placed. In other way around like government prohibited gambling then if you do it against the law so that is the time that you committed a sin from your authorities but for the law above i don't think so.

If there is a law or ruling that makes gambling a sin, then it will be a sin. But no one can prevent or arrest a person if he want to gamble unless his gambling activities is already harming other people.

Correct. Like for example here in the Philippines online gambling is illegal and that will probably a sin because you're committing illegal. But in some cases even we've doing online gambling our government doesn't care here in the Philippines.

Governments only ban those casinos which become viral on social media because this thing ruins the reputation of one country. However, the governments are well aware of all the casinos running in their state and they don’t ban them because they are taking huge amounts of taxes from them to keep them running. Also the tourists also like to visit casinos as gambling is the thing common I every county on earth.

I agree , The government only cares about taxes that they can get on casino's thats why they hate online casino because they can't get any tax from the owner. But like other country like Macau which gambling is very popular in the place because their government loves collecting taxes from casino's their. Many tourist visit macau because of their gambling image and many online gamblers has a desire to go to macau to play gambling and experience playing on a real casino.

I dont think even a law passed can make it a sin. Some law of that kind may certainly make gambling illegal, but not a sin. If one is doing everything under control and is not harming anyone and nor is using someone else's money to put in gambling then its all well.

Gambling is not a sin. The talk of sin arises only because of those gamblers who tend to get addicted heavily into gambling and then end up losing everything and even getting bankruptcy. That may possibly degrade the reputation of gambling but overall it isnt any sin activity even if any law is passed agains it. Though it will certainly be illegal if something lile that happens.

If you play gambling for fun seeking or just to try something new in your life, then it is not a sin because you are not putting someone in trouble from your gambling and vice versa.

Well it is a sin as well but some people dont want to see it as they are committing sin but that doesnt matter right because the only thing that we need is to have fun. Forget the other thing because in the end we are responsible for our own action. It is the same as killing, if it is self defense then it might not be a sin but you are still responsible for that

Gamble is a sin if you're losing and it's not if you're winning. It's life.

You have given a very false statement that gambling is a sin if you lose and it is not a sin if you win. If it’s true then how would you explain and prove it to us. Gambling being a sin or not, the answer to this question is yes as well as no. If you play gambling for fun seeking or just to try something new in your life, then it is not a sin because you are not putting someone in trouble from your gambling and vice versa.

As far as I know, and even researched on it, there is a vague description about gambling being a sin. there is no direct mention of gambling or act of gambling as a sin though some scriptures stated that the love of money is a sin.. but, not all who gamble are in for profit. Others are just for entertainment and does not care if they win orlose money. This sum up that people are over reacting or exaggerating when they say gambling is a sin. Though, if it is illegal in a country then i guess you violated a law and is punishable by whatever is intended for that case. So i guess if it is a sin or not depends on the country's regulation about gambling.

No, gamble is not a sin at all. In everyday life we have some features of the game. Cheating is a sin, run a casino is a sin, maybe even been addicted os gamebling is, but the gameble itself - no way!

Run a casino is a sin because gambling itself is a sin. Running a casino is a sin because it means we provide a place or facility to gamble. Being a provider is even more sin than gambling. Well, but all back again to their respective perspectives.

I don’t have the exact knowledge about whether gambling is a sin or not but in my opinion as far as my knowledge is concerned, Gambling can be a sin or it can be not.

For example, if one is gambling for fun seeking, trying something new in life then there is nothing bad with his activity of gambling but if the person, who is gambling, is not independent and a family of some innocent people is also with him, then gambling for him is a biggest sin.

Yes you are right. Is gambling is sin or not, this question will be properly answered with your religious beliefs. Almost all of the religions on this planet earth, they tend to go against this gambling thing. One thing is obvious with all of the beliefs out there that they want goodness of its followers. And goodness just hidden in going against of gambling. So kindly save yourself.

It is upto the person who gambles , if he gamble the money which even if lost is not a problem for him till then he wont be thinking of this sin or not. but when he starts to lose more than what he cannot afford he will start thinking of what he has done is sin. If you do gambling in sports betting and earn little little like what you do in business you wont be thinking that you are doing sin.

For me its cannot be consider as a sin.
Its just another way of earning and it can only be a sin if ever you cheat while doing gambling.
But as long as you do it right and follow the rules in gambling then you will never a accuse doing sin.
Just play honestly and you will never be judge by someone.

No one can arrest a person for gambling, if that activity is legal in the jurisdiction in which he is residing. It doesn't matter whether he is harming others or not. If he loses his investment in gambling, then who will get hurt? The gambler himself and his family members. And how the general public or anyone else is going to be affected by this?

Sin is used as a definition in the bible, if we based on the law of the state, we should not be biblical because they are separate and only the law of the land is honored by the government and if you violate a certain law, you have to suffer for the consequences of your wrong actions. Now, if gambling is illegal and there is a punishment in doing it, then why would you violate the law if you want to live a peaceful life.

Yes its a sin for many but regardless it is because the needs of the people is much bigger thats why even it is a sin it can make them a money or double their money to buy what they want. Wether its a sin or not gambling will be in many peoples solution for money problems.

To each its own. For me, gambling is not sin. Although my religion says its a sin. I don't give a ****. I want to gamble and nobody can stop me. Plus you just don't throw that argument about religion. Everyone has a choice in life, not even religion should dictate what you gonna do.

We are not in the Middle Ages anymore, time has move forward. Everything, including religion. Even the Pope in Rome is changing a lot of old Catholic traditions. So for me, it's not a sin to gamble. If you felt a slight guilt because you think that you are making a sin when gambling. Then stop, simply as that.

Yes, i agree with your opinion because on this days gambling is not a sin unless you cheat for your gambling needs or cheating for the desire of winning. As long as having a limit in gambling and must bet only of what you can afford to lose then surely it will not lead you to gambling corruption.
