for Muslims, gambling is a sin. but in some situations, sometimes we no longer think about it. because everything we do, is the thing that must be accounted for. for Muslims, you should not gamble.

Technically, no. Religious groups give that impression to gambling so that is why some people treat it like a sin.
I think it's better for people to think it that way like they are commiting sin if they are doing the act of gambling because we know that it doesn't do anything good.

Religion just want to control us. However, there is a better side on that, when they think of gambling as sin, they are preventing us from doing it.

Even without a religion, for the sake of having a good life and  for the sake of morality, we should not gamble too much. Doing it too much is the only thing that makes it dangerous to us, and too much of it will pull us back to poverty no matter how hard we try to gain money.

Religion is okay because it helps a person to become the better versions of themselves and that is when you will accept religion. If you don't then you should disrespect others on their beliefs. If you mock them, then you're the problem in the world. I hope that they believe that people are okay.

Its not a sin even you are a greeady person or not. It will become only a sin if you do the wrong things and gamble again to spend but not your money .. As long as you enjoy and you have no problem in money its not a sin.

I agree that being greedy is even more considered as a sin. Just like the bible tells us, for the love of money is the root of all evil. And that leads us to sin, gambling is just there to give entertainment just like the other things when used it too much and we dedicated too much time to it then that leads us to sin. So being a greedy person is the real sin and not gambling alone.

what about sin?
this important thing can give us an advantage, gambling will not be said sin, especially if this become our biggest income.
one income can support the family, this will not be called sin
sin will not give any impact. sin is only the act of going down every generation.
sin is mass duping.
only a fool who believes in sin
gambling will never be a sin

Actually, if you not accept gambling is sin, then its OK. Because gambling is useful for you, and if gambling support your family, and if you seem gambling is your income then sure you never accept that gambling is sin.
But i agree on it, if we enjoy our time with gambling then how can it will be sin? But one thing is that if we are not allow for our teenagers kids to play gambling, than something is wrong in it, and not everyone get income and support family and ourself from gambling. Majority of the gamblers are losers that's why these gamblers think that gambling is a sin for them.   

Please make fix your sentences up. Can't understand what you're trying to tell us here.

Sin = something unlawful etc. not some come-up story that has nothing to do with legality or so.

Gambling cannot become a source of income for anyone and to think about it as a steady one is just amazing for me. By the way, sin is not exactly an illegal activity or unlawful act but hurting someone by any mean is a sin. If someone suffers because of you, whether the wound is an outside one or the inside one, you become the guilty one. For me, gambling is a sin.

Relating it to religious beliefs most of them are treating gambling as a sin. And for the atheist ones it is not that really a sin but it is a form of entertainment where you can have some time to win. There are rich people that are treating gambling just a form of game and they just want to spend their cash for it. But for some people that are in need of money they are treating bitcoin as a source of income that leads to greediness and others thinks it as a sin.

I first heard about the fact that gambling can be a sin. I do not see anything wrong with this, if you play with reason and in our country no one said it was sinful.

Sin or not, doing something that is not hurting anybody is not a sin for me. Just imagine, there are plenty of things that self-righteous people do that are not actually sins but to be honest are mean, rude, or just down right wrong. For example, the bible teaches about love. But people hate each other and creates wars. I don't want to mention a particular nation, but war is their bread and butter and they say they are doing it for some good cause.

gambling will never be adjusted to religion, there will always be debate because it is strictly prohibited, all we can do is apply positive law where we really do not hurt others and take full responsibility for the money we use, I think gambling is very effective for smart people minimize losses.

I dont see gambling as a sin.i see it as a way just to have fun or be entertain,  whether you are there to play or gain profit. doesnt matter if you win or lose. As long you dont hurt, decieve, taking advantage to anyone, it will not exactly be  consider as a sin.
In short gambling is just a platform only  the person who make fraudelent action that affect people using gambling can be consider commiting a sin and accountable on his doing.

Someone ask a wise person once, how a person can differentiate right from wrong, virtue from sin He answered, Anything your heart shows hesitation in doing for the first time is sin. When I first tried gambling, I felt like my heart was not okay with it and for me, it became a sin so I just left it. Now that I have come across some horrible stories on this forum, I am happy about my decision that I made back then.

Maybe, some people think that gambling is a sin because you can be rich in one night without effort and hardworking. But, you can also lose all your money in just one night and all of your hardwork will disappear. That is why, some people think that gambling is not fair and it is not right.

It is so important to not hurt other people. But sin is not just hurting other people, right ?

They always think only the positive side while they neglect the possibility of becoming bankrupt because of gambling that's why they didn't notice they are already destroying their lives with the money they spent that is not already part of their budget. With that kind of attitude towards gambling I would say that is a sin, not because gambling itself is a sin but because of the bad treatment of some gamblers.

I know that gambling is a sin for Muslims but I know one person who is a Muslim but gambles I've seen him play cards and but a ticket in a lottery. I don't know if this kind of act is punishable for Muslims all I know is he is not supposed to do it.

Not only in Muslim religion but even in Christians and I don't know much with Buddhism and other religions. But I have some guess that there are people who are in those religions that are gambling silently because they can't help themselves, they are into it and see to it that they are aware that it is a sin into them. I would personally say that those people are really into some sort of treating it as a source of income but they just want to hide it with their co-religionist.

This depend on the person on how they will carry himself.  He can be pulled back to poverty even without participating in gambling if he will not discipline himself.  Failed people always look for something to blame and this time they put blame on gambling which have nothing to do about their decision of betting and losing his all assets.  Gambling never thing, people do, gambling never make decision for people if they will bet or not, people do.  So all in all it is people's fault why they go back to poverty.

Depend how people believe... some people said gambling is exciting game.
some of them also said is sin.

[crwth]

That's how you will see the difference with people. It's what they believe and what they should respect. For me, it is an exciting game and it is definitely one of the things that I should learn to improve from. I want to win in gambling and having knowledge in certain strategies should help you improve your chances.

[mobilezz]

Perhaps religion considers gambling a sin, but for me it's just entertainment that helps to relax after a hard day's work, but on condition that I set a limit so as not to lose all the money.

As a matter of fact, it really depends on the faith of a person whether gambling is a sin or not but according to my definition of sin, gambling comes under it. Anything that can harm a person or cause suffering to any living being is an evil deed. Gambling is nothing different from it so as an activity, it is not the right one but still, it won't change the minds of anyone what we call it.

[StonedWolf]

Logically speaking, gambling is not a sin because when you gamble you only risk your money as a result you can only threat yourself so we can't say that it is a sin. But from the religious point of view there is a notice that says it is a sin and their reason is that money from gambling is not deserved.

bring religion on this kind field i don't think it's a good idea. keep your personal faith like religion rules and something like that privately. gambling itself should be done based on your own will and full of responsibility , otherwise it could turn harmful and destructive. overall i think gambling are not something that bad , yeah i mean in general.

Of course it is in general because none is perfect, and whatever the thing it remains relative and admits defects and qualities. Otherwise I think that if it is about sin or goodness, the majority of people will think about their religion, however I did not do that and I gave all the existing approaches.

Gambling isnt really a sin at all but when the times you are already being involved on bad intentions or emotions like greed then thats the time it can be considered as sin and also if you do already commit bad doings because of it.This is why as a gambler or people who do play gambling we should really be responsible on his actions.
