In Islam, gambling is a sin, but my country allows it for some reasons, maybe because the government takes 20% of the winnings. And since my government is poor, it surely wants to get free money. Gambling is a sin because men should gain money by working and make efforts to make it, not get money from a game in which the other opponent loses his money and get sad out of it.

For a Muslim, gambling is a sin. If you are a Muslim, you keep sinning whatever you intend, gamble for fun or to make money, gambling remains a sin. Wherever you live, even though your country allows gambling, your religion forbids it and keeps it sinful if you gamble.

Some religions may say that gambling is a sin. But I do not consider it a sin, because you can win and provide for your family or help other people. It's good.

Winning not happen all the time so how can you help your family or other people with this way of earning which is totally based on our luck. I think rely on this way to earn for our living is more than a sin because it could bring a lot of problem in our life.

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

I'm not quite sure if it's written on the bible. But, what makes gambling bad is that when we gamble we become greedy. We view gambling as a way to earn easy money, which is wrong.I believe that the main purpose of gambling is for entertainment, money comes second. But, as human I think that being greedy has been a part of our personality. Which made gambling bad.
There are some people who are having a problem with that because in the first place they gamble even if they cannot afford this kind of entertainment. Because of their frustration to make easy money they lose control and able to spend their hard earned money even at the point that it is not already intended in gambling.
yes i agree on you.but for me on my own way of understanding.i think being a gamler is not a  sin.as long as you dont hurt anybody.it can only be a sin if you are doing bad things to fullfill your gambling habbit.
The most worst of all in gambling is commiting a crime in order to have a  money for gamling . It is  verry frustrating this can be  a great sin if yourself didnt have a control and you wil be drawn to your own desire.if these was the case i think person addicted in gambling wil end up to nothing.
You will surely end up on getting on jail if you will do such foolishness just to serve your addiction. This would really be considered as a sin when you are already making things which arent good anymore and as you said would already create crimes. but if you do gamble with your fullest responsibilty and risk awareness then it wont really be a sin.

It is a sin to do bad things to others. As far as you do not do anything that can harm anybody or even yourself,  you are free from it. It is on how the people used to gamble. You cannot depende to gain profit in gambling because it is about winning or losing. It might give you a problem when you lost everything on it.

Is gambling OK?    yes it is OK.
Is it a sin to gamble?     No! Gambling is not a sin.
You don’t kill anybody when you gamble. You don’t hurt anyone, you just play, you just bet. But the player can be sin because of gambling. He/she can be greedy, can be rouge, and can be selfish. Sometimes we become addict to gambling and this can change us. Most changes are bad but if someone can control his/her self then he/she  will not change.

The fact that people will be difficult to win from gambling gives side effects. Stealing, robbing, killing etc can be done when someone has suffered a massive lose. Another side effect of gambling is getting people lazy. I think that's why gambling is forbidden in all religions. If all gamblers can control theirself, maybe gambling won't be a sin anymore.

I don't think gambling is a sin because when someone believe he or she is not stealing or cheating then that's a probably fair game and it's also primarily for fun. That's just my point.
Actually things what makes gambling considered as a sin for most people isn't about the game itself.
But when gambling in most case always finished with sad story and not benefical.
Then you should really consider it as a biggest sin right?

It is not a sin to play gambling, if you do not lose all the money and do not get into debt. And when dependence on gambling is harmful not only to you, but to others, it's bad.

For others it is and for you it isn't. I have two thoughts for this, for those people that believes gambling is a sin, maybe they are thinking that it can lead you to bankruptcy and when you are now like that you'll think to commit crime.

It will depend on their experience with gambling, some thinks it as a drug that can destroy once life, but it will only happen without any control ,Anything that is too much and being abuse may not really result good.

It is drug to others or they are comparing it with the same way because it is causing them to be addicted. And once a gambler is addicted to it, they will have hard time to recover with it.
A sin is an action that has trespass any government rules and regulations and has violated the moral laws or laws of God. An act that is committed and some people got harmed. I do not think that gambling is a sin especially if you are just playing for fun and that you have not done anything wrong just for you to be able to play. Like, stole money, sold important things in life like house title and cars just to have the money to use for betting.


There are people who gambles just for fun and it will be unfair to make them feel and see them as sinners just because they were playing gambling. I know how gambling addicted is but as long as someone is just playing for fun and excitement there is nothing wrong about it.

We all have different thinking about gambling, then a huge people think that gambling is a sin, and a huge number of people have no thinking of sin for gambling. Then the different is in our thinking. Also some people discuss about religious then they think gambling is a sin. But i always say that, little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Then only play gambling for fun and whenever we win then think gambling give you reward. 

I play gambling for fun and I admit that I think that it is a sin as well however I dont really want to think about it because it is hard to think about that kind of thing . I only want to have fun and if it is a sin then Im going to accept the punishment for it but for now as long as I can have fun then I will do it

Well, I was taught from childhood, that the gambling game is a sin, so I believe it is a sin. But, all depends again on each other's stance, because the purpose of each person in playing gambling is different. Maybe that purpose makes gambling play not a sin.
Gambling can't be called sin. Even though gambling is kind of wrong but in general gambling doesn't do anything to others it just affects the person who is gambling and the owners who may earn or lose.

When we talk about sin, we must bring religion here. And do you think that the thing that sin is only a disservice to others? That's not true. Do not you think that things that can harm you but not harm others is not included with sin. Although gambling sometimes only makes misery to oneself, if religion establishes as a sin, it is a sin. The thing that sin is not only when we harm others.
You didn't get my point first of all why do we follow such a religion which stops us from doing what we like or doesn't allow us to live peacefully. If a person like gambling that's totally his wish. If he loses that is his fault. Even though he loses he likes gambling so religion is no one to take his happiness away from him. It will only be considered sin when it steals money from others to gamble or any other wrong way
We have different religion so we have different judgement on the topic whether gambling is a sin or not, as for me gambling is
never a sin, it's fun and although we can lose our money but the fun it brings would justify it.
It shouldn't be called a sin because of religious reasons as many religious consider gambling to be sin but thete will surely be a group of people who will still gamble even though it isn't allowed. It can be a sin for people based on their opinions and not at all gambling shouldn't be consider sin based on different religious reasons
Lets say that they are also a member of the said religion which do treat gambling as a sin but in reality some of them do make gamble which we cant really be avoided since gambling is just really a pure entertainment which we can able to stress out ourselves on playing it. Sin would only occur when you are already doing bad things because of too much addiction on it. We should not generally treat it as way other do treat it. We do have our own views when it comes to gambling and we should really respect each others views.

It is a sin when we lost our money and it isn't when we won huge amount of money from gambling....jk. To be honest, most people around me said that gambling is indeed a sin but unfortunately, I don't care! As long as I can enjoy it.

We all have different thinking about gambling, then a huge people think that gambling is a sin, and a huge number of people have no thinking of sin for gambling. Then the different is in our thinking. Also some people discuss about religious then they think gambling is a sin. But i always say that, little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
