Where did you read that it is a sin, when you say certified it is like there is an official statement saying in general that it is a sin. I doubt if it is applicable to all if there's any, in our country some illegal gambling are prohibited but I don't believe it is prohibited because it's a sin.

Moreover, please do consider that there are so called legal gambling which is supported by the government or operated by the government like a lottery in our country.

There are several churches in my area that have a Bingo night....some have a casino night too.  I've also seen church raffles.....etc.  The Judea Christian Bible mentions the Israelites "casting lots."  So, I don't know if gambling is a "sin" but I do know that there are quite a few churches that have no problem participating in the activity.

Exactly! I have seen few Temples around Louisiana having these worshipers playing card games with money on the table during some festive season.I doubt its a sin then.Its all in our heads at the end of the day.

win true all that relates to the game wearing any form of money bets every game that gambling is a sin is very much less with until we have forgotten the time so that it will be detrimental to our lives, but for me it's just a fun game only.

Not even sure where they got this idea it was a sin. How was this a sin? People aren't committing any kind of sin the 10 commandments stated. I don't see there "do not gamble." People just make up the crazies sayings in their lives just to explain something or prevent people from doing something.

I don’t agree what you have said. There are lots of reasons for gambling to prove it that it is a sin.

You can only let the people know about it that in which state it is harming yourself, others and the society. It does not mean to stop someone forcefully but to deal with them logically. If they understand your opinion and your point of view then it will be very good.

It is sin for me, but not for you. According to everyone, the situation is different. For a person who is generally religious, gambling is a sin, for example I can say sin according to my desire.

For example, there are some religious days in our country and it is a great sin to play gambling these days. He also encourages a bigger sin if he plays in regular casinos.

Were in the same page mate, I also do believed that gambling is a sin too. it maybe true that the gambling is not in the Bible but there is also no gambling place in heaven only here on earth we had it. But I respect the opinion of others here if gambling for them was not a sin.

If you believe gambling is a sin, why are you promoting bitvest.io?    Just asking it seems like a conflict.    That is a good point though is it a sin to make money off of gambling?   (Investing in the house.)

The problem with all of these things is where do you draw the line. 

Yes I do believe that gambling is a sin and I think one while promoting bitvest.io etc. is basically doing a social service by telling it on the forum to the people that it is a sin and if you don’t realize it before it is then too late to understand that from just a fun surfing they have become a gambling addict. So, let them think about it and realize to draw a line between a fun surfing and addiction. Indeed is a great job to do…

Gambling is root of all devils.Last night i tripled my deposit and losted few hours later.That's how industry works.

Gambling is not the root of all evils, if there was a capital sin committed from someone there it was you and it was the sin of greed, you tripled your money you should have been happy and call it a day, but no, you decided to keep playing and lost it all.

[JL421]

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.

I think it is a big NO because gambling isn't mention in the bible. People use gambling to earn incomes. And many gambling are legal in a specific country. There are only times that people are so addicted to gambling that make them to bet all of they have and end up losing and falling. I think in that situation the gambling will be a sin. If you become addicted and bet all of your things like house, cars or even lots.

[alexsandria]

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.

I agree that when people play gamble that isn't a sin. Gambling will be a sin if the person who are playing is very addicted and end up betting all of his things and when he lose then blame the people or person besides him when he is playing. Negative attitude is created when you become addicted to gambling and the people around you are affected.

[sergio red]

when something could harm for other that is called sin, in gambling someone can be benefited and someone can be looser. it is totally depends on luck. i think we should more study about this in the light of religion.
so far i think gambling is sin.

Although I don't think that gambling is a sin I disagree with the other part of your statement. In many cases gambling affects close relatives of the addicted person, especially when a gambler has wife and kids since he loses the money he can spend on them to gambling.

i think it is depending on your religion,  as we can see that gambling is illegal and forbidden in ISLAM and if a person is not following the rules of his religion then he is surely commuting a sin and he will be charge for that but still there are some religion where gambling is not an illegal activity and people are free to play gambling without any restriction. but still even there gambling is not allowed for kids and those people whose age is less that 18 year of age.

Greediness is the one that leads us to sin but gambling itself is not a sin. It really depends on the output of the gambling activity. There are some that are becoming addicted and there are that are just normal gamblers.

I completely agree, you cannot be greedy in gambling because it will only lead to loses, just be always cautious of your decision because you do not have the advantage in this game. Those who are greedy may experience big loses because no matter how lucky they are and bag some good money but they will not be contented and just stop.

I bet that you don't know the book  that we called "Bible", it is where you could read that gambling is a SIN, that our lord God is prohibits us to do. But we are always violating most of his rules, and we are just obeying ourselves. If the Government said that it is illegal then most of us are not going to do gambling anymore, but when it is God who said that it is a Sin and shouldn't be done by anyone in the first place, we didn't listen.

So, in short, it looks like that we didn't fear God, instead we fear to the people who have position in the Government.

If you do not mind, can you give us the exact verse where gambling is written as a sin in a holy scripture we called "Bible"?  I am kinda curious about it too since most religious sector of Christianity stated that gambling is a sin and yet they do lottery whenever they are in need of budget and host a lottery for fund raising.

Well, not all people have the same religion as him, so to others it might not be a sin.
He only thinks his rules apply only to him

Well if we are rely on bible we will see that gambling is one of the hated of jesus. So for me its a sin. no matter what if its involve with money its gambling that we can say it is a sin..
We know we are promoting almost gambling casino but we are just a promoter or we are just renting our signature just to make few bucks but we are not gamble anything ..

I'm not sure where this is in the bible.   However the bible clearly condemns the love of money.   So maybe that is what you are referring too?

Nothing in the bible says gambling is a sin and i never read that word i the bible. The love of money is written in the bible so you are right they love money and they become greedy that is why gambling is a cause of sin. Because some are love money and they want to gamble to win big.

[bajing]

However the bible clearly condemns the love of money.

Religions were created just to ensure people are leading a happy life. Hence we need not look for exact definition of what religion is saying about gambling. If you are religious, it would be better stop gambling as for no reason gambling could be justified for a anyone's happy life.
[/quote]It is clear religion says that gambling is a sin, but I do not agree that religion is created to make our life happy because the happiness felt by each individual human being is different.
For example: many people feel very happy when they win money from gambling, it's different when they get a bonus from the company where they work.

[Oralmat]

Gambling is root of all devils.Last night i tripled my deposit and losted few hours later.That's how industry works.

You are saying, because you have lose your money in gambling. But if you win in it, than you will said that gambling is a best source of earn money. But i don't think that gambling is a root of bad ways, You should know that gambling is a field, where we play different types of games, and use our skills and luck than we get reward. 

[djordjamayna]

For me the biggest sin would be to not do what I like
