if you are a Muslim then gambling for sure is haram , if you are a christian I think it's ok
but the most important thing , if you are a human with a good brain you wouldn't give a damn about these things and you should think about things that make you live better life
religions have ridiculous rules when we talk about making money  Grin

Well pretty much everything is sin anyway so what does it matter. Vegas being called sin city should give you an idea. Greed an lust for money is apparently sinning so more than likely most gamblers are sinners and it can also lead to many addictions. If it isn't a sin it should be but no doubt it is.

It is not a sin in any religion but of course is discouraged in all of them.However the rules change every couple of years so nothing is certain and might be a sin sometime but the opposite other time.

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
I don't think Gambling is a Sin because sim is when you are doing something wrong to others or doing something illegal but in gambling you are playing with your own money and are not doing bad to anyone else.Gambling can have other negative effects but it also have some positive effects too but it's not correct to consider it as Sin.

Depends on your religion. This has been brought up many times. Someone had asked before if it was haram to do binary trading which is a form of gambling so yes I would say that is technically a sin. It can lead you to a path of destruction if you abuse it.

As long as you don't gamble to make money from gambling than it is not bad but once if you start playing for money than you will be chasing for it and in this process you can lose all your money and that will be very bad for you and your family. So gamble with self control.

Gambling is not a sin. It can become a sin however, when you lose yourself in the gambling and start to neglect yourself or the people around you.

Gambling, as long as you can control it, is just fun. The chance of winning big is what attracts everybody and makes them come back.

There is already a very long (78 pages at the moment!) thread "Gambling. Is It Wrong?" https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gambling-is-it-wrong-1166089 in this section. I think it is better to use it instead of creating this thread for pretty much the same topic.

Bible does not say or mention that it's a sin, but Bible mentioned something about love of money or greed. If it's for fun or entertainment I guess it's not considered as a sin.

Not a sin for someone with - 8 negative trusts from the DT. I mean what could be worst than scamming people or promoting it? As far as gambling is concerned, no God ever said don't gamble. Neither Bible mentions it. That should be convincing.
