I haven't seen any gamble sin in the Bible
For me, the definition of sin is in our own personal consciousness and not anybody tell us as majority of people here are ascribing it to religion but not every morality we see today is being taught by religion while itsa normal thing for people like me to eat meat, it is a sin for a vegetarian. So from the religious angle to me, it is sin and because personally I dont like it, then I say it's a sin but dont forget the fact that there is room for forgiveness for sins.
I agree that sin depends on every peoples perception but if you think about one's belief, it is influenced by principle (religion) or law of the state where you are affiliated or residing.
To fully understand gambling and decide whether it is a sin or not, one should correctly define what gambling is. But many of us here thinks of dice or roulette when they heard of gambling and think that gambling is just a game.With this understanding, they will definitely have a different view on this when it is asked if it is a sin.
For clarity, gambling is not a game, it is an action.
"Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods."

Disregarding religion and act on the government law itself, if the law forbids gambling then it is definitely a sin and if not, then it is a not a sin.
Accepted, but if we are talking about religion, than many peoples saying, gambling is not allow, but still they are playing it, because they play it for earning way, Otherwise, i don't think that anyone have a problem with gambling. Because gambling is just like game, as we all know that but the talk about Sin, So you are right saying, it is our perception, Is gambling sin or not.

We will be the one who will have to pay for our sins if it's really a sin and we cannot debate it here as we are different opinion are we are all right. The only way we can tell about of opinion is if we base it on the law of the state.

of course in large meaning sin cannot considered as religion poblem only but anything that go against
i agree with that point with you
so when people complaining about how their life broken because gambling i guess it's enough to consider gambling as a sin.
No its not and pretty sure it wont going to be a sin
That is the truth, because we cannot blame gambling for our lose as we know already how risky gambling is. We need to understand that we are being advise to play for fun so we do not have the right to call gambling as wrong after every lose. Let's be fair.Religious beliefs are making gambling is a sin, I'm not against them and nor against with you guys. It is just going to depend on how you are going to take it lightly or hardly. If you are keeping committing a sin through gambling like womanizing because that's one of the aim of most of the gamblers. Because if they have money, they can just simply buy woman and that's how gambling falls into sin.
People have options to follow the law of God or the law of the government, but for me I gamble but I do not consider it as a sin.

Let's be fair.They are blaming gambling for their lose and that's not even knew. And because they did gambling they are now committing any other sins that they don't know they are doing because of their attitude is changing, they are becoming fast to anger and because of it they are now becoming more greedy for the money they are hoping to win.
Gambling is not a sin but its frown upon because it does not help the individual to develop at all and it foments in people the possibility of becoming addicted and even have self destructing behaviors.
i think it's clearly stated on every single scriptures in any religiongambling is prohibited due the absolute rules
well i call gamblng is a sin if people means about religion rules
gambling have more negative power than the positive ones , just think twice about it.
oh no let's not drag religion here. yes gambling may very well cause a lot of negative things to happen to a person's life. it has it's own good and bad effects and i think the person gambling would be the one to determine that. if the person gets addicted and had his personal and family life affected, then in a way gambling makes him sin. but if the person knows what his priorities are and is smart about dealing with gambling, then it's harmless. it all boils down to the person himself and how he deals with gambling

I think gambling depends on each person each react to it. but for my own opinion when you gamble to get money then be prepared for mendaptkan defeat. because usually poor people every day who gamble and hope to get bitcoin but mendaptkan defeat. after continually losing their posting that the site is a scam

The definition of gambling is entertainment, and entertainment is not a sin. It will depend on the effect of such gambler's life. It's like bitcoin, bitcoin can be use for illegal activities yet we cannot call bitcoin is for illegal activities and should be prohibited, the action of a user is what makes it a sin IMO.
I don't know where dictionary you got that definition, on the dictionaries I look at it is more on "risking" and I haven't seen any that it mention about entertainment. But anyway, with the definition as "risking" I think it is in between, not a sin nor a good thing. I personally think that it would be a sin if you lose after risking big money that could affect you and those that could benefit from that money. And if you win, well, its the reverse.
