Gambling Marketing And Religion

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Don't advertise what you won't used personally that's the advice I always use. If you won't gamble don't advertise a gambling platform. It's called been a hypocrite when you do that. So your culture doesn't approve of gambling, meaning you don't gamble personally because it's considered a sin, why then who you be encouraging others to gamble just for the bitcoin cash reward? It make no sense both morally and ethically as you're simply encouraging others to sin while been a saint (base on your culture) which is another sin all together.

Now if you're advertising a non gamble platform but get paid with gambling money without you having any knowledge the source of the money you're recieving is gambling related then such case is different. You won't be judged I believe so but in situations which you're aware but due to greediness or ignorance you still accept the fund then you're no different from the gamblers since you're encouraging the act.

I'm not religious, and I have no objection to gambling as a form of entertainment.  I do object when it becomes an addiction, and people are hurt by it.  I don't gamble myself, so I would not advertise a gambling service.

Here in the United states a lot of Muslim Arab immigrants (including some members of my extended family,) run liquor stores even though they don't drink.  It seems hypocritical to me, but who am I to judge?  Promoting gambling seems like the same thing to me.  If those selling alcohol can reconcile their religious beliefs with their business, I don't see why one promoting gambling can't do the same.

But since you brought up the concern, it seems like you already have some reservations about doing so.  I'd say talk to other member of your religion whom you respect, your family, friends, and your Imam, and proceed in the way that fits best with your beliefs.

As we know that Gambling is prohibited in certain religions including Islam. If anyone does it, the earned money is not legal and is considered Sin.

But what if someone is promoting a gambling site on social media etc, will the money earned from it be legal provided he will never directly gamble ?

I'm not a very religious person but I do not attach my gambling habit to my religion, as long I'm not doing any hard to my fellow-creature, I'm ok with gambling and promoting it, just don't promote scam gambling site, or you are stealing from the poor guy, and promote it like a site to have some fun not to get rich.

Well ours are different from what’s OP.because for him or he’s religion is too far from what we are standing..we can just play,promote and even live with gambling while for OP it wasn’t applicable so I respect the position

I don't think here is a good place to find the answer of your question. Personally I don't pay much attention to these things and act however I think it is right. As I read some replies to your post I see people's opinion are very different. Because usually even the people who are of a same religion have different opinions.
If you are a religious person and such things matter to you, should ask from an expert person who is qualified. People here give you different opinions and none of them is 100% right.

That’s why he is looking for some rightful answers here ,Maybe OP thinks there are some of his kind that seeking same answer so he put the question here

But the better person to ask is their Teacher/Pastor/Priest or whatever they called on their religion because nothing than anyone Him is the best to give answer

Any benefits from the prohibited this is a sin I guess but I don't think there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as you are in control of yourself while doing it.

Absolutely nothing is wrong in as much a gambler can know his or her limit while gambling. There are many who don't know his to set limit while playing online casinos. Be in control of the games make one a good and a responsible gambler.

In my opinion, whatsoever I cannot eat I will not give to another. Promoting a gambling platform while you are not a gambler shouldn't be because you promote what you do and not what you don't do. What you do is what you can convince somebody to do and not the other way round. I have come across someone who don't promote gambling platform's on this exalted Bitcoin forum.

Promoting gambling is also a sin why not follow to your religion command is also as in, so is better to leave if you gambling is sin from your religion. Why it because how you can promote gambling if the promoter not playing gamble.

Sometimes people are just justifying their wrong doing when actually it's easy to understand the law or the teaching of the religion.
When it says gambling is against the teaching, anything that can be earned related to gambling, directly or indirectly is always against the teaching.

In the end, this depends on how a follower would absorb the teaching, if they widen their mind and accept it fully, they will never associate themselves in any gambling activity.

Things like this are still confusing. Whether it's sin or not, if we promote a gambling site but we don't play on it. Some people say that they remain sinful, but for me that is a valid thing. Because we do not play, but only promote the gambling site so that many people play in it for people who like to gamble.

It is indeed confusing especially that these opinions are mostly from us who do not belong to the said religion. Different perspectives will be given. Some will agree and some will don't.

I guess the only one who can really justify that question is someone who is a Muslim or knows a lot about the religion and its beliefs.

That's a good question. I live in Russia. Russia is a multinational country and we have adherents of Islam. As far as I know in the Koran it is written that gambling is a fiction of the devil. Alcoholic beverages are also prohibited under the Koran, but many Islamists whom I know can afford to drink under the roof of the house. They say that this is how Allah does not see them. Others, on the other hand, clearly adhere to the rules and do not break them.

So your question is more about a person's personal beliefs.

There's nothing to do with personal beliefs if a person wanted and desires to get into gambling marketing. Most importantly we're not humiliating other people and we're just doing gambling to entertain everyone whose in need to unwind.

When one topic related to religion, there will be differences opinion from us, and I don't think that there will be an ending way to get an agreement. Because we have a different point of view, whether we are a person who is religious or not, so if you want to do gambling marketing, you can go with that way but before you do that, ask yourself and see what the answer is.

When you can feel that doing gambling marketing is no problem for you, then it is okay to continue. But if your heart says no, then you should try with the other ways. It is how we can make a deal with our heart in going with our life.

A pure Islam knows better the do's and dont's in their religion. If gambling is prohibited, then any kind related to gambling like promoting it like you've said as a source of income is not a legal to them. It is like promoting a certain thing that against the religion. An Islam will definitely look for another source of income aside from being a promoter of a gambling site for him/her not to be able to have a sin.

Agree with you,for someone who really strict in his religion, there are a lot of ways beside gambling and other "illegal" things that he still can do. Although i am muslim, i still not resist if sometime i play gambling too even i know it is a sin. But i have big respect for people who still keep their mind to avoid gambling and another sin. Maybe soon i hope i can change and not gamble anymore.

The fanatic people will avoid playing gambling because it is not right with their heart. I am sure someday you will change your habit, and you will leave gambling forever. As long as you can manage your money and not become addicted, you are good to go, but please remember that you need to know that playing gambling is not a way to make money. I hope that you can give good things in someday especially for your life

Yes, we can't force them to do something that they not want. And about play gambling, usually i bet on soccer that my favourite team play. That is why maybe i am not addicted yet (i hope not addicted) because at least i can analyze better than if i bet on team that i not really know. But sometime i missed my bet and lose. But that is ok i am not use a lot of money when bet.

I think that's legal since you aren't the one who gambling the money instead you are referring potential users to gamble on their casino. you are paid to refer people at the casino so, that you earn from referring isn't "dirty money" since you earned that money in legal means.

This is a little off-topic but i'll share this situation since we talked about islam and gambling anyway by the way this happened last night. While i am going home i saw a couple the man is Muslim and the woman is christian (based on the way she looks) came out from the e-bingo casino arguing and suddenly the man bitch slap the woman the security guard came to stop the fight after the drama ended and the couple was taken to the police station  i asked the security guard what happened the guard told me the man has a religious beliefs and gambling is illegal in Islam.

This kind of thinking is the same as what I think. It is true that it is legitimate, because we do not directly gamble, only promote it. Because I personally believe, there are so many people here who like to play gambling and that's why I also want to promote gambling for them.

And the point is our money is not dirty money!

Dirty money is money obtained from corruption, drug sales/women sales, robbery and fraud.
if we get money from promoting gambling sites that are not dirty, we get paid because our services participate in promoting the sites.
IMO, that does not violate religious norms.

It does violate but only on Islam religion and i cant see any religion that do have that kind of prohibition or treatment when it comes to gambling.

They can treat bad as they want but we know on whats the true essence of being illegal and gambling is excluded to that list.
We obtain the money legally and theres nothing wrong about it.

I think promoting it is still part of the religious prohibition that you mean about this. If religion forbids gambling and part of sin, then promoting it is a form of support about gambling itself, so both are still the same part, IMO.

[pixie85]

Some Muslims drink alcohol other don't. I'm sure some will gamble and say it's all right by their faith and some will say it's forbidden. There's as many interpretations of religions as there are people.

I'm not a religious person and I don't care about their rules but the way I see it gambling is gambling and promoting gambling is promoting gambling. If gambling is forbidden in your religion but you're working for a casino and not gambling yourself you aren't breaking any rules.

I don't know about Islam religious beliefs but gambling is everywhere and taking money from someone legally through gambling is still the same as long as there is gambling involved. I think it is on the person's point of view on how he would handle the logic and righteousness in the gambling business.

This is not to open our Muslim's brothers but that is the reality and I saw it also. It is to think that some of them are not following their rules and that is so-called freedom. I believe there is no wrong with that if we never been involved in illegal activities.

We don't need to generalize it and think that gambling is bad, it is only our own perceptions that make it bad.

Because if we generalize it, we will be judging people that they are doing the right thing, everyone has their own belief and only God can judge us, when it comes to salvation, we just need to do what is right because we cannot save other people surrounding us.

Further, even in one religion, we might also have different interpretation, just like Christians, they have different religion but they are all believers in God and they don't directly preach that gambling is a sin because this depends on how people will become when they gamble.

[dentolas]

seems straight forward that the money comming from promoting something illegal, is in itself illegal...
Same thing would be if you were promoting drugs, but not directly selling them... think about it
We can agree with Islam view or not, nevertheless if anyone wants to follow it, it should not search for backdoors...

I agree, gambling is a game... like so many others (even on TV there are games in which you make an expensive phonecall to be able to participate in a prize draw)...
The thing is that we need balance to do some healthy gambling, otherwise it can become a problem... but this is true for almost everything... eating, drinking, etc...
