It is ok, There's nothing wrong in Gambling (for real). The only thing that's wrong is when we can't control it and we became addicted to it. Cause if that happen, we might do things beyond the borders (Stealing and worst is killing) and that's the SIN. In Gambling alone I think it's not bad to have fun and enjoy, though just control it and be cautious.

Really you have a good idea, when we do gambling using money that is not our right, then that's what we can regard as sin.
Like the definition you mentioned. I do not know what will happen if there is a person who becomes a gambler addict maybe that is what brings people closer to sin
The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

When you think you are already a hardly-addicted gambler, professional help is necessary. It is a fact that most gamblers won't agree with but it is the reality. If you guys have browsed deep enough in the forum, you may have read about Mrkyle (no offense, plus I admire him for keeping up his promise to his investors).

If you consider hurting yourself a sin then surely gambling is a wrong deed. It does not only hurt the gamblers but also their closer ones. I think all the religions of the world consider harming any human without a valid reason, a sin. In my point of view gambling is definitely not a virtue.

Indeed a gamble of sin, but back to itself, gambling is a tool to excite pleasure if they win well and vice versa. They just want to have fun, no different from dating someone you love or by drinking alcohol Cheesy

i think different people have different view about bitcoin. some people consider it as a sin, while other people consider gambling as legal currency, to me i consider gambling as a sin, because i my religion gambling not allowed and is also not allowed by our state therefore i can say that gambling is a sin and if a personally is still playing it he is really committing a sin.

I'm muslim. For me it's sin absolutely. Because Kuran doesn't let it. Undoubtedly, for my religion gambling is devil's trick. By gamble devil make breaks between people, and keeps away people from worship and their religion. But I think on other religions playing on casino sites is not sin. In general, no benefit from gambling.
Your religion is trying to protect you from gambling problems. If you are taught for your own benefit then you may or may not follow some belief. But if it is being taught in the name of God then definitely you will obey to that. Gambling is a thing, every human must avoid, when it is categorized as sin then we should not touch for any reasons.
While most people can gamble and suffer no ill consequences of doing so, there is a small minority that will suffer the consequences and that is why religious authorities try to protect them with rules like that but unfortunately for those that cannot control themselves most of the time the rules are not followed.
Religion shouldn't be a general reason i guess ,
Take it personally and we might good to go to discuss about this ,
When you have a strict environtment around you about gambling then just obey it ,
Gambling is a sin or not are your own responsibility , just don't harm people .

If you are religious, or if you feel you have a religion, then you have to do everything and treat everything based on religion. Because if you ignore the rules of religion it is the same as you do not believe in your religion. If you want to gamble, then you should know the gambling law on your religion. Once you know it, then it's up to you, just make sure you continue it or not.
yes no doubt that it is too much important to me in my religion gambling is not legal and therefore it is consider as sin. but I can see that still a lot of people are playing gambling arguiging that they are playing gambling for fun and enjoyment only, but I do not think that there is any fun and enjoyment in bitcoin if money is not involve there.

If gambling is forbidden in your religion, then whatever your purpose in gambling is still a sin. Because sin can not turn into no sin Just because you do not consider it a sin. That's worse than when you do not know if Gambling is a sin. If you already know gambling is a sin And you're still Gambling, it's your business, you're taking a risk.

We actually need to set out a clear definition of sin and then compare it to gambling before we will be able to determine whether gambling is a sin or not, until the is established all what we are doing is speculation and nobody will understand outside of his/her own conviction.

If we are talking on religious aspect we would really able to say that gambling is really a sin and as you said even how matter we said that its not a sin since it been told their that committing such thing is a sin then it already been considered and you cant really avoid such thing.

For me it is not really a sin to gamble as long as you don’t involve anyone and as long as nothing bad happens. If you gamble play only to your limitations. Don't stretch on what you have and gamble all the way, I think that will be a sin. But still reasons differ from people specially if one is too religiously devoted then for then it is really a sin to gamble.

Perhaps in some religions gambling is a sin, but I do not think so. If a person knows how to control himself, then you can play for pleasure, and if you are lucky, you can improve your financial situation.

Many religions have textual writings in their holly books forbidding all kinds of gambling or profits based on loans and illegal investments . Gambling is a way to hurt itself and that's why it's forbidden i guess , because the human life and the physical body is to be preserved by the person .

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

As far as i know gambling is prohibited in some religion so if you believe in religion it's a sin to gamble. There are also some countries that banned gambling so you should be careful if tou want to gamble. For me gambling is not a sin, it's just another means to have fun.

Religions just protect the weak people who can't think for themselves, so they need a religion to tell them what to say and think about their existence and about what to do or not on this life. There wouldn't be problems in gambling if everyone were mentally strong, but religions forbid it because they know weak people will be consumed by the game and will lose everything. Strong people could gamble and stop anytime without problems.

For me the addiction is a sin, but normal, aware gambling not.

This world is full of people having different beliefs. Some religion may prohibit his followers from gambling, some may teach it as a sin and for atheists definitely it is a simple task like any other. If we look at the people who have destroyed their lives, it becomes a sin for me because it hurts people. I have never liked this game, especially after people suicide due to this game.

I don't understand much about sin of gambling. Only, if we get more losing than winning. We should leave it, or do something else more profitable than throw bitcoin in vain.

You do have a point but having a religion doesnt mean that it do control people on the things that they must and musnt do. Having awareness on things is good but also religion would really give some ideas why its being prohibited or not.This is just only a case since there are lots of religion on this entire world which beliefs would really be different at all.

yes that is a fact, different religions have different opinion about gambling, as in Islam gambling is a sin in any formate. you cannot play gambling in any condition, while in some religions game gambling have legal status. There they can play gambling openly and they do not have any restriction for playing gambling. The only restriction is for the under age children who are not allowed to pay gambling on line or even to play is sphysically.

Gambling is specially forbidden in Islam and considered as a grave sin , or in other expressions "abominations of Satan's handiwork" . Since it encourages people to be lazy , rely only on luck and just wait for the day that life will smile to them and make them rich without any effort spent . It also results in people despising each other and encourages people to always seek easy money . Any form of winning amounts of money without any efforts made, or risking money on an uncertain event to happen is a form of gambling and is thus forbidden .

I'll let you understand, so what do you think when you gamble is it considered as a sin or not? And if it is not, justify it.

Perhaps in some religions gambling is a sin, but I do not think so. If a person knows how to control himself, then you can play for pleasure, and if you are lucky, you can improve your financial situation.

Most of them are treating gambling as a sin because we shouldn't gamble with our money and instead we have to donate it to them.
