If it's personally wrong and it's dirty money, then leave it and stay away from gambling and find a better way. So here, every opinion is kept and we are good and have the right to do it, then do it.

everyone is free to argue and this topic is a form of freedom, not to argue but only to discuss and it is good to share each person's perspective on a topic of conversation. if you don't like this topic either, that's fine.

as long as we don't talk racist and hate speech, I think it's fun to discuss. we learn new things, know very different perspectives from us. unwittingly our insights as discussion participants will broaden. This forum also has many members from different countries, I learned a lot from it.

[Zanzibet]

Gambling is about freedom of choice & people should take responsibility for their own actions. Gambling is little different to smoking, alcoholism or drugs. No one holds a gun at anyone's head & forces them into it.

Yeah this forum is for everyone people have permission to talk what they feel about it. Money earning from gambling is one of good money according it to me  When you gamble you will have  ti work hard. Money is good to earn just focus on your goal to become  a good gambler other wise let what people think what they want to think.

yes, focus on yourself in finding income whatever the way. there is a result of gambling or whatever it is the same thing as a privacy right. many people are offended about how everyone is looking for income, no matter the privacy of others is a good thing in this regard.

Yes, some people talk like this because they get jealous so Better no need to listen to them they will keep talking this way focus on your own way towards profit and keep gambling. Everyone has own idea some would like and some would not like. I think I will keep gambling other people's thinking does not affect my determination ever.

I don't think that way. If I made money, no one should look at where do I spend it or on what I use it for. Why would it even be such a bad thing? It isn't that much of a big deal, you give money and then maybe you win more or lose it all. A big percentage of money given for building churches and other religious establishments comes from mafia or some types of criminals, so gambling isn't that bad.

no one requires you to tell where you get your money and where the money is used for, it's a privacy right. Winning, losing, or at least the results you get from gambling are also none of the business of others. You must know that not everyone has the same perspective, some say gambling is bad and categorized as "dirty money" and some say the opposite. how do you show valid data that the mafia provides funds with a large percentage in terms of religious institutions? your opinion is too bad.

It's pretty much what you could call a public secret, everyone knows it is like that, but no one takes action or talks about it. It's not my opinion, it's reality.

[finaleshot2016]

It depends on our culture if it's dirty money or not. It's how you see gambling on your eyes, your perspective, your view on this. If you see it as for entertainment then we have no problem with that, it's not bad for you. There are types of gambling that make it really a bad thing, and the people are getting addicted to it so they're thinking it's bad.

[TheCoinGrabber]

How is it dirty? Did the casino put a gun on people's heads and asked them for money, you know, like governments do? 

The money was given up willingly, the government takes the money it earned directly from sweepstakes or the income tax from casinos. The government then rolls that in with the rest of the budget. What's dirty about that?

[BChydro]

Gambling is about freedom of choice & people should take responsibility for their own actions. Gambling is little different to smoking, alcoholism or drugs. No one holds a gun at anyone's head & forces them into it.

If you take this analogy then no one is holding a gun for addicts, they are doing that on their own, there are gambling addicts and no one can hide from it, there are people who gets addicted to the things they do and if they are addicted then the people around them should them the person get the necessary treatment as addiction is one and it can destroy your life.

When viewed from a religious point of view, gambling is indeed prohibited let alone the money generated from gambling.

Not a religious person so not sure what you are talking about, is it prohibited by religion and if so which one and if so are you living by the rules all your life. If there are restrictions in life then you could not do literally anything in life as there could be some sort of restrictions one way or the other.

[gabbie2010]

Its better to gamble than to steal, exhort money fraud from people religiously gambling might be forbidden however its very glaring nowadays that some individuals steal government money and make donations with it to religious bodies without questions their sources  if such a body should out-rightly reject gambling money why can't they reject stolen funds given to them in form of donations? personally I see no crime in gambling in fact in some third world countries where there is high rate of unemployment the youths resorted to gambling as away of surviving their hash economy.

I don't think so that the money cames from gambling is a dirty money, why? Simply because you play hard in order to get those money this gambling is what you called an modernization in which many people take it as an industrial thing in which you can earn money. Always remember that money is money! All of the money is dirty why? First of all money is controlled by the world government and the government is dirty and politics is dirty.

I am more agree that politics is dirty compare to money that comes from gambling, we should not think like this. We have to understand that we all have different views about gambling and its not about a dirty money, its about how you play and how you earn that money. If you do it on a bad way then its bad to some people, but if there's a hard work then it must be a fruit of your work and not a dirty money.

Its mostly related to beliefs and most religion is teaching that gambling is bad/evil thus making all related to gambling is evil even if the money is clean and came from a good business.
The power of religion is high, some people obey it without thinking.

Yes, that is because people will think that gambling is a bad habit, and they advise other people to stay away from gambling. But as entertainment, gambling can be another activity to having fun, and we don't have to think about earning money from gambling. We have to think about ourselves about playing gambling or not, and if we think that gambling is not good for us, we need to stay away too.

This to me is a traditional view which remains persistent until the very day.

My mother considered gambling as playing with money. She sternly reminded us not to gamble. When I was in college, there was a hot debate within the church whether or not to accept donations coming from dirty sources such as gambling. And in Islam, gambling (maysir) is haram (forbidden). ^[1]

I have a friend whose father would not serve the family food bought using gambling money.

And just a few years ago, our Education Secretary shunned billions of state-funds because they are coming from gambling. She didn't think it moral and proper to buy books and even build classrooms using the dirty gambling money. ^[2]

What are your thoughts on these? Do you agree with it, or you consider these as old-fashioned views?

I feel gambling is not limited to poker places now and there are now various sources and ways to gamble and try your luck. Though still my family, especially my mother wont appreciate the fact that her son gambles a little as side hustle but still i do it at times. You may call it the adrenaline rush from the risk and excitement related to gambling, but i wont mind running my home or at least fulfill my desires or family's with gambling money. Things are changing !

Your mother did not want you to get addicted to gambling while in college,  that is the reason why,  perhaps she did a great job by advising you to face your studies , because you might be carried away by the money being made from gambling while in college

I guess one's attitude depends more on the society he belongs and values taught by parents. For me, my religion plays a very less role to define my interests and desires. I have been gambling for past 4 years now and running my expenses through gambling wins. One of my uncle fulfills his desires from money from gambling which wont have been possible looking at his current earnings except from gambling. I personally think gambling money is not a stable source of earning and is not dirty at all . You can donate some of it if you feel its dirty and feel better about yourself !

One of the reasons also why government itself restrict the age limit so that under 18 people who do not have much maturity at times stay away from gambling and that is the purpose of having age restriction. Also I think if in religious it is fine and government does allow to play legally it is fine to play and win amount as well.

[AdoboCandies]

I disagree, gambling money is not dirty money, It's about the perspective of the person who gambles and the perspective of your culture and country to gambling. In my perspective gambling is a hobby to enjoy yourself because there's a feeling of euphoria when you win it feels good it's not only about money it's about the enjoyment it gives to you. It's not dirty money because there is a gambling industry and most of the GDP of the country comes from casinos and derbies. I think it becomes dirty money when you gamble on illegal gambling like dog fights but just like I said it depends on the perspective.

[samputin]

It's their mindset and negative thoughts on gambling that brought them being like that.

Yes, exactly. How gambling may be seen depends on one's perspective or mindset. The things instilled to them when they were young may also affect them on how they see gambling when they grow up.

I remember, when I was little, my parents always remind me not to get involved with any activities which relate to gambling because it's bad and not meant for children. Of course as a child, I obeyed them. But as I grew older, I realized that gambling can also be fun. But, I took the term "gambling is bad" according to my parents in a sense that it can corrupt someones mind and might cause addiction.

With proper control, and as long as you gamble with your own money and not hurting people in anyway, the money you earned thru gambling is just fine.

[Peashooter]

All of the money that is fruit of your hardwork is a money and I believe that all of the money that produces by your effort is a good money, and that money we can use it to buy goods and products. For me money is money we can use it whenever we want. They make money for us to use it to buy goods it doesn't necessary if it is from a good or bad hands.

[sujonali1819]

I somewhat agree that gambling is dirty money because it doesn't look good on society, nation, country. Even in different religions, it is forbidden. mainly in Islam. But it's also true that Nobody force someone to involve in the gamble. So If a person involves in gambles, then it does not make sense to blame other people.
