Is it a sin to gamble?

[diegz]

If you ever feel that you are guilty on what you did because of gambling like hurting your family because they want you to stop from gambling or you fool people so you can borrow a huge money from them, then yes it is a sin.

That's a sign of addiction, not a sin. You can only call it a sin when you are following a particular religion and worshiping your God.

In my opinion it is not a sin but the effect of it is not good for you and sooner or later to those who are near you. Following too much scriptures will lead you to confusion and later on, your moral compass.

I think gambling is a sin on all religion, but no one care about that nowdays.

Sin about religion. For Muslims, gambling includes sinful deeds. However, it depends on each individual. Because, i see adherents any religion ever have gambling.

If you are talking on religion aspects the it is really a sin but as being said it would really depend on a certain individual if he would treat gambling as a pure entertainment not on money making which would really lead on being greedy which we do know that it is one of the deadliest sin. Gambling isnt a sin but the effects would really be considered as one.

The conclusion I think is, if doing the things that have been determined as sin then we can not escape from the sin, so if your religion states that gambling is a sin then you will sin if gambling. But the decision to keep gambling or not, it is still you who determine because only you will get that sin. And if according to your religion gambling is not a sin, then you can gamble freely.

According to my religion , hurting people (or anyone including animal) is the only sin. So there is no rule about gambling . My opinion is that, if you feel offended or a sinner then don't gamble else it will hurt you mentally .

I have never collapsed that in our culture gambling was a sin. Perhaps other nations think so, but we play all who want to get pleasure or profit from it.

Some countries maybe gambling is a sin for them, and some religions but we cannot blame them, because we all don't know the story behind of it. But most of us believes that gambling is not a sin, gambling will never be a sin but the person who plays it will make a possibility to have a sin because of it. Especially if that person is too addicted in gambling.

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.

that's really true, if in my religion I certainly believe that gambling is illegal and is not allowed by the Shari'a syariat of religion

Well it is up to you if you would be willing to sin against your religion(whatever that may be), or hold yourself and battle your own greed.

[JL421]

Every day every man make a sins gamble is sin like every other,i think its not Ok but if i see what is people do kill each other for stupide things,gambling is ok.

you are right gambling can't be controlled weather you are committing  a sin or not there is no way one can control gambling. this is surely not a good sign also weather it's a sin or not you shouldn't gamble it only drains your money never gives you profit

Well can someone define what the OP means by "sin"? That way we'd be able to put the discussion in the right perspective because sin can vary from race to religion to a whole lot of other areas and so the right standard should be set for us all to answer this question.

Do you know what is sin?
It is sin to wear ICO signature knowing it is possible scam and saying gambling is sin because your religion told you so.

LOL! some don't really bother checking the project they are promoting, as long as they see an attractive bounty they will wear signature without hesitation which is not good for the community as we are support to help investors and gamblers put in a legitimate business. On the other hard, in terms of religion, I guess that would only based on our belief if it's a sin or not, even if your religion will told you it's a sin to gamble but there are people who still gamble and even feel it's just more on entertainment and not a big sin.

[IAMYOURLEADER]

It depends. If you play gamble for purely entertainment, it's not. But if because of gambling you are forced to do sinful things, then it is considered as a sin. I've heard many stories will do anything so just they can gamble without being aware that they are commiting sins because of it.

[Genemind]

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

I think so. As a catholic, we are taught that gambling is definitely not good. It embodies two capital sins which are greed and sloth. Sloth because you think money is easy earn without hard work and greed because you never want to stop playing.

[marionakano]

do not look at the game as a sin, look like a task, have discipline and not greed

I will and I do support you in this regard because there is not even a single religion that allows you to get involved into anything that is harmful or addictive in nature but as you said, people are least bothered about this fact. The only thing they love is money and they are ready to try anything through which they can make large amount of money and gambling is one of those methods.

It's only a sin if you're harming yourself , your family or any body else in your environment due to your gambling activities . Religions have mixed up definitions of sins and prohibited deeds that are enlisted in their holly books . That does differ from a religion to another , but i'd prefer believing my own definition that a sin is something that we can apply the right or wrong rule on it and that it's level of danger could affect not only your present , but your future or somebody's else present and future .

abusing yourself mentality is a sin i guess, so for me if you are playing gambling and you got addicted you already abusing yourself and the worse
is  its not only you who's suffering but also those who loves you or also those who relied with you, so its up to anyone who assess how they take
gambling from their daily living.

Well it is not a sin if even gamble cause gambling only is a kind of pastime activities where in you were able to relax with or without pain suffering. I think it is true that gambling is sin if you are engaged in a illegal way of having gambling, and it bring bad image to you life probably, And further more a sin is when you violate what gods said to us. Thank's

As long as we are not harming our self or anyone around us, playing gambling is not a sin. I strongly believe that it is not a sin but people who plays gambling make it looks like a sin. Their addiction in gambling has made them change and sometimes the change is just too much that their addiction had lead them to do bad things. Other countries seriously take gambling as a sin but some has treat as a source of income in which some people by playing relays this happiness/

  Every religion has its books, especially the two most famous ones that are Islam and Christianity. As far as Bible is concerned, people have made amendments in it from time to time but if we talk about Quran, there is nothing in this world that can prove any changing in it since the revelation of this Holy Book. I respect all religions of the world because these all teach us to not love money and stop us from gambling. So, gambling is a sin.
