yes that is right to say that it depend on the religion faith and your country rules regulation and your country country policies which allow you are forbid you from playing gambling, if you are not following these rules and regulation then it is really sin.

I think the issue here is morality since it is addictive and can ruin your life. It is also a waste of money if you lose and if you win,it is an instant money or easy money which is not good as our religion believes that you have to work or sweat it out to earn.

If we are going to ask the Bible about that, then the answer is yes, it is a sin but if we are going to ask the people about it whether gambling is a sin or not, I'm sure that most of them would say No, it is not a sin.

Yes, in my religion gambling is a sin. Because when you win, you can become addicted to gambling. And you'll do anything to get money to gamble when you're broke. Such as stealing, robbing and others. It was very dangerous, so my religion forbids gambling. There are many more reasons why my religion forbids gambling.
in some religion playing gambling is a sin, there is no doubt about this as in Islam gambling is a sin and in Islamic countries if some one is caught red handed playing gambling will be punish for that, and will be put in jail, but in some countries it is only banned for under 18 years of age, while the above can play gambling legally, in these countries there are proper casinos where people visit to play gambling and putting effort to make money.

Exactly, I also know about it, many Islamic countries are not allow to play gambling, because in their religion gambling is a sin, and because of it, they punished the people who play it, But instead of it, many Islamic people do it, and also they depend on gambling on earning wise, But in other countries it is legal, but not for kids, and Personally, i think it is right, because gambling is not a kinds game.

How can it be sin?

because gambling can lead to addiction, and when you have an addiction, you can do things that are bad such as being greedy, arrogant, and can justify any means in order to gamble like stealing, cheating etc. Gambling can lead to bad things.

Being greedy is one of the deadliest sins in our religion.. and there are also a lot of people becoming greedy because of money and power. Gambling is one of the reasons why too much people became greedy.
Yes, many religions having philosophies against being greedy, but even religious people are so greedy to spread their religion, that is one of the practical controversy we do see in our real life.
Gambling has many typical characteristics which are not allowed by any religion still people around the world people are gambling. In my opinion too, at least for religion reason we must not touch gambling by believing into 'gambling is a sin'.

It's only a sin if you do it in excess just like drinking or eating too much. If you don't let it affect your ability to support yourself or your family and don't get addicted to it, it shouldn't be a problem.

It would let you to fall into sinning. Because if you will gamble, you are aiming to be rich with that way. And the more you are aiming more fast money that will make you greedy. Once you are already greedy, that is now why gambling became a sin because you are now changed from your past attitude and most of the time you will become hard headed and angry.

It's a sin if you become greedy, I guess it's not the essence of gambling but still there are people who are foolish enough to continue to gamble despite of the fact that they have tried many times and lose money.

Usually, considering gambling as a sin is only applicable to those who are following religion, .. Aside from religion and those who have a good moral compass, I haven't seen any institution considering gambling as wrong... But anyway, I think it is wrong if it is really affecting your life, and you are affecting the life of the people around you...

i think yes, on my religion gambling is banned
all about gamble is sin although we only see it
but you know all things which is banned its so funny and so difficult to stay away from it
It is really hard to stay away in gambling because really gambling is very entertaining and easy to attached because of money involved here especially when you are lucky enough to win as often as you can in gambling, but for me gambling is not a sin, it will always depend of a gambler how they will handle the risk.

In my own opinion, i think its really not about religion because I have seen people cut across religions involved in gambling and it just felt good to them. I think its more of your own personal thing and your personal definition of what is actually right or wrong because even in religion, every of injunction even still give room for choice of what we really believe in. So for me as a christian I could say gambling is right and for another person who is also a christian, gambling is wrong...

In my religion it's not a sin and it does not directly mention it or refer gambling for money. I think it would be a sin for some religion depending on what they belief. Gambling will totally be banned all over the world if this will be considered as a sin.
Agreed, the reason why they called gambling is a sin is because those who people who lose and they will say it that gambling is a sin even the problem is those who people who lose, for me it's not a sin since gambling done nothing wrong, the wrong is if you lose so much then blame to the gambling.
I think this is not the reason why gambling is sin and i think that is why gambling is it is because of their religion.
If you are religious person you should not to gamble and treat it as your sin..
I agree, at least for religious reason, a gambler will think to have strong will to quit gambling.

I have seen many people who are not caring about their wealth and health but they are very much conscious about their religions. This kind of people definitely will stop gambling for religious reasons. I believe treating gambling as a sin must be a right approach.

A sin that is set up in every religion embraced by everyone in the world. So if indeed we adhere to religious orders that gambling is unlawful or a sin then we as followers of the teaching must be willing to accept the fact. For all religions forbid it there must be some cause and to give the advantage to his followers. Never assume that something is prohibited it is just a thing to eliminate us to fun

In my religion yes gambling is sin activity and its not allowed and banned
but i think thats rule is not affect to gamblers,  gambling is fun activities so they dont care about that rule
also law at my country is not allowed and gambler will be given a certain penalty
They don't care that it's considered a sin in their religion because they also don't care about the religion. They know it's wrong and it's a sin in their belief but they still don't follow it. Do they really believe in their God? I think your government hasn't arrested somebody because of gambling yet that's why they don't care at the moment. But if the government starts arresting people that are involved in gambling activities, the population of gamblers in your country will surely decrease over time.
