For me, yes it is a sin to gamble because we are relying on luck to win money while we should save our money rather than spending it on unsecure investment.

I got your point by I think gambling will be a sin if you think it is a sin. As long as you think that you didn't do anything bad then you're all good. Many think that if you're a gambler you're just be a no good for everyone and in everything and you just know is to waste your money in nonsense things instead of saving. Nobody can understand what a gambler's feeling unless you put your feet into their shoes.
In simple way to understand gambling is really a sin. But in my own opinion, gambling is created to have fun and bringing people closer to each other. What I mean is we get to know more people as we do gambling. There will be no problem if we gamble only for fun. It will only become a sin when we started to hurt somebody's feeling and also when we fall into addiction.
you do bad thing when take other people rights on the huge winning. as your 10 multiplier taken from 10 players losing. i think that is what religious people think about how gambling should be considered as a sin , it is harm other people in deep meaning.

well it is up to you on how you interpret about this matter , actually it is a personal thing.

Of course, it is not a sin. It's not stealing or murdering or something similar. Gambling is either a hobby or a way to make steady profits. Those who wage more than they can afford are addicted, but not sinners.
What did you expect when all end up in very addicted way? When a person already addicted in gambling there are big possibilities that it will becomes unresponsible in time. Unresponsible in the time for his/her family, unresponsible in time for his/her works and especially unresponsible in his/her responsiblities. If person become addicted in gambling there is big big possibilities for him to become worst than before.
That could probably happen and all because of our indiscipline, we made a sin and it's not gambling who should be blame.
It's very risky for us to gamble if we do not know the risk in gambling, if we are just one sided and all we see is the chance to win big amount of money then for sure we are just destroying our own life.

IT is most definitely a sin to gamble. This isn't a question, it is a fact. Gambling = losing money = bad and sinning = bad so yeah they are one and the same - gambling is sinning.
Actually you missed point of why gambling should be considered as sin.
You see, church see love for money as sin, so when you are gambling you tend to win more and more money and somehow this is connected to greed and love for money. So, your fact (gambling=losing money=sin) is actually wrong.
There are different ideas and facts about gambling being sin or not. What I consider is, it is a sin. And many people are following it as in faith, and my faith believe that it is a sin because you don’t do anything. You just put some money and by look and shook you earn or lose. It affects your mind and make you lazy so it is claimed as prohibited in my religion. Same in other religions.

Gambling isn't a sin unless we are told what is sin, we should stop bringing in religious doctrines and what is right and what isn't until we define sin because that is what the OP is yet to provide for this heading. Sin can be anything one deems as wrong and that makes gambling not a sin for all.
Gambling can be a sin or can be not. Both are the answers of this question. Gambling is a sin if from your gambling; people who are relative to you but are innocent and they don’t even know the word of gambling have to suffer from your gambling losses.

However, it is not a sin if you only play gambling for fun seeking, checking your luck or experiencing something new in your life and the loss stays with you only.

I think it depends on your moral code or your religious beliefs but even those that are supposedly against some forms of gambling create their own gambling games, I have seen people playing lottery in the church and the church organizing lotteries so I do not think the leaders of that church can argue against someone gambling in a casino.
Relating with religious beliefs gambling is a sin and I respect those claims and beliefs that they are implementing with their members. But that's something different and the first time of knowing that there are people who can take it to play lottery in the church or if I can remember that is something like a raffle and yes that's also a gamble but with a purpose.
But that is gambling, even if those organizing those events have pure intentions they are still doing something that supposedly goes against their beliefs, so I'm not sure we are going to agree on that point, in my opinion if a person is an adult and earning his own money then he is free to gamble if he wishes.
There are violators and they will exist whether they are religious or not. I know a couple of people that are very religious but they smoke, do things against their religious law and saw them gambling alone. Taking up lotteries like for charities is something different, they are selling tickets for a purpose something like that. And even we are adults but if we live in a country that sin is prohibited, they consider it a sin base on their law.

Gambling is just a game which cant really be consider as a sin we do know this is just an entertainment stuff but when things are already going wrong because of too much engagement on gambling then thats the time we do say that it is already a sin since we are doing already things which arent correct or right already which would result on affecting our own life or even into others too.

Gambling is a sin or not it's mostly depend on the view of that local country. At my country, gambling is leading to most social evil so that's why it's not welcome in here.

I dont think gambling is a sin, but there are people who cant controll themself, such people might cause many sins because they are mostly loosers who become mad after they have lost, I've seen alot of those.

i think people often attribute gambling as sin because many of the people that are found gambling these days also live irresponsible life after gambling in their homes and communities and it is often these characters that makes gambling a sin because they are so reckless in their dealings in society and among their families and they carry them to the gambling houses.

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

My parents told me as long as I am not hurting anyone it is okay. Gambling is not about hurting other people physically or mentally. Gambling, about games, full of thrills. Sometimes just for fun, sometimes profitable. Well for me it is not a sin to gamble. We gamble because we want to play, we want to have fun. Maybe the part of gambling that is bad is if someone cheated.

Is it OK?
Yes it is. Why not? Look, Casinos outside have permission. So we people can go to it, play have fun and make money. The only thing that is not okay is that if we gamble too much.

To me gambling is a sin, for others it may not be. Many people think gambling is not sin but not a few also think gambling is a sin. Differences exist because human thinking is different and we have every reason. Some people think gambling is a sin because of religion, or because they think gambling is wrong. Differences are common, all we need to do is respect each other's opinions.

In Islamic religion, gambling is prohibited. So, why are you here if you think gambling is a sin? Just passing by? Well, I think for a  certain reason, maybe gambling is a sin because it triggers your greed in which they said it's a part of seven deadly sin

How can it be "most definitely" sin? You gamble then you lost so what's the meaning of that? I can't see that you committed a sin on it, you just bet and you lost. I'll give you an example, as it looks you are pertaining to gambling as a bad thing so if you woke up in the bad morning, you committed already a sin?

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
In my own opinion, gambling is not a sin if you are just playing gambling for only entertainment or fun, but if you take gambling as a scheme to earn profit it is a sin because you will get greedy in playing and you might lose all of your money in gambling that amy ruin your life.

In that regard it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Thinking all the time about earthly things, like making money with gambling for example, considered sin by most religions.

And you said it right about gambling for entertainment purposes. Since it's for fun only it can't be a sin, no one forbids to have some fun from time to time. That's just my opinion, of course, I know some religious people wouldn't agree with me.
- In the social aspect, people who do not know about gambling and they follow the religion, they always think gambling is a very serious sin because gambling is the place where greed becomes the most powerful, then this greed will destroy ourselves, our family and our society, it's just the place of the lazy, do not want to do but still want money, this is a bad behavior and should be criticized. However, in our minds, modern people, we always think gambling is just entertainment, if we do not affect anyone, we will not need to feel it is a sin, this is something I think is very accurate, each one has its own religion, we can not criticize others, right and wrong are dependent on each person, we can not force others to hear our opinions. We only live once, we should do what we like, do not care about the comments of others

In simple way to understand gambling is really a sin. But in my own opinion, gambling is created to have fun and bringing people closer to each other. What I mean is we get to know more people as we do gambling. There will be no problem if we gamble only for fun. It will only become a sin when we started to hurt somebody's feeling and also when we fall into addiction.

You're right mate, as long as you didn't hurt someone else its not a sin. Gambling is just a way to relax from stress moment that we have encountered like on our work problems. On other hand, gambling with addiction will create to such crimes due to gamble a huge amount of money that may cause there entire life. Self control and provide some limits to gamble so that your mind will not be crazy which can think or create possible crime that might ruin your life.

Gambling is a bad thing only if you try to earn huge amounts of money in short terms but if one gambles for his own fun and for experiencing new things in life, I don’t think that anyone should think it as a bad thing. That’s true that gamblers in eager for more forget everything except gambling even they forget their blood relations also and that’s the biggest con of gambling. When the society is not willing to accept, then definitely inner peace destroys and this is happening with gamblers all the time.
