Gambling is a social crime and illegal in most countries. Gambling has a huge impact on the society of every country. Gambling creates enmity and hatred towards each other in the society. Through this, enmity may arise between the people you know. It is seen that there are many people who earn hard money all month long and only because of their gambling addiction spend money on gambling and lose their hard earned money. If a person loses through gambling, he gambles again so that he can get the money back next time. But this took a toll on his brain and he began to suffer from restlessness. Thus he cannot live a healthy normal life. So we all should refrain from gambling and spread awareness in the society about the horrors of this gambling. This is one of the main reasons for the downfall of man. Moreover, gambling is completely prohibited according to all religious laws.

Gambling is a scourge in the society because many families are disturbed due to this gambling and their families are constantly in conflict and poverty. People who gamble are also found to be mentally disturbed.

Yeah but this depends on us on how we treat gambling ourselves. Gambling has high taxes and it helps our country's economy. It is always our choice if we want to be a responsible gambler or not. Gamblings purpose is not to distabilize the society but it was made because humans want to have a pastime as an entertainment. So if you think gambling is not for you or you are not having fun with it then quit.

Moreover, gambling is completely prohibited according to all religious laws.
Gambling is prohibited in very few countries but not most countries as you have stated since the majority of the countries still accept gambling. Very few countries like Kosovo that prohibit gambling want to prevent gambling-related crimes. No doubt, gambling has impacted negatively on society but then I am not sure if one of the negatives is creating enmity among people. A person can frown at someone who has made him lose a bet but not at someone who has nothing to do with the loss. To me, the word "enmity" is too strong because it appears to be a long-term hatred of someone but in my thinking after a moment the anger that comes with losing a bet will stop, and then relationships are restored.
On the part of religion, not all religions condemn gambling. For instance, as a Christian, the Bible only condemns the love of money and excessiveness but then no direct attack on gambling. Most persons approach gambling for fun and others as an investment scheme and as such do not exhibit behaviors capable of destroying societal peace. Would you still see this set of people as exhibiting unacceptable behavior? To me, no. Therefore, not a sin. Religions frown at what they uphold to be a sin and not otherwise.

It has happened to me a lot that certain people, usually very old people, tell me something like that, that the game is for the devil and worship for the devil, and similar things, but I tell them in a nice way that it is not It's completely true that there are people who can lose control while playing and can make many mistakes while playing, like spending all their money, but that's not the case, because emotions are what play a lot in this, emotions and impulses. , but it is not a question of the devil, I have also been told that bitcoin also represents that, but with older adults you have to be very tactful so that they are not hurt, moreover, they are people who should be given a lot of respect and some things well pass them on, that has happened to me a lot.
Now things happen when people are young, of the age that one is, then one speaks to them with much more propriety and maintains a debate with respect, more than anything it has happened to me with people who are very devoted to a religion, one also has to have something of tact because there are some religions that are very radical, and that is dangerous too.

I think that gambling can have bad effects but calling it a social crime is too much. Gambling can make people lose money and cause problems in relationships but it is up to each person to decide if they want to do it. Some religions dont allow gambling but we should respect everyone's beliefs and freedoms. Instead of scaring people about gambling we should educate them so they can make smart choices and know the risks.
I am a Muslim and I don't do gambling. In my religion it is Haram. But if a non Muslim is doing so I can't say anything to him/her.

OP, you are getting the wrong insight of gambling. Gambling is innocent and did not cause any damage to the society or enmity. It is the person that gambles that is the problem to himself and the society because the gambler couldn't control himself and allowed addiction to take over his life because of greed and wanting to make money quick with gambling. You should blame people for their greedy behavior and lack of discipline on themselves when they choose to gamble. You should also know that gambling is not compulsory and it is done by choice, so I don't see any reason why people shouldn't be blamed for their own actions and decisions. Gambling is part of human nature and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it because human exist, and it has been since the creation of man that gambling started. Gamble responsible, and only use the amount of money that you can afford to lose will help you stay away from the consequences of gambling irresponsible. Only few countries especially the Islamic countries that will not support gambling.

It depends on how gambling as make an impact on a certain individuals. You calling gambling a curse someone at saying gambling has being a blessing to em. So if you at in another way gambling is not as bad as you think of it. Yeah I know alot of people lives has being affected by gambling negatively.
Most it depends on the gambler because most gambler gamble irresponsibly putting gambling first, which is wrong if you have taken notice that most comment in this gambling thread always have this advising patterns of telling gamblers to gamble responsibly and try their best to gamble with what they can afford to lose.

Gambling is a scourge in the society because many families are disturbed due to this gambling and their families are constantly in conflict and poverty. People who gamble are also found to be mentally disturbed.
I disagree though about the mentally disturbed statement, sorry. Not all gamblers are addicted, some play for fun and entertainment and the money that they gamble? they can afford to lose it. I do agree that there are some societies that are totally against it, I understand that. But gambling is part of human history already and there are even some countries that dependent on gambling industry like Macau for instance.
It provided jobs for their population and they get the money from casino thru taxes to get their country going.
So there is positive and negative effects of gambling. For individuals, it really depends on how you treat gambling. But we all know that it's not the means to put food in the table for your family.

First I wouldn't want to go into any religious but we should also know that in all religious we have pagan those believe in their traditional ways does this people prohibits gambling?
That notwithstanding, in my country it's prohibited and anyone can gamble okay let say you got it correct that there may be some countries that they don't allow gambling. If I may recall correctly there is always a warning in all gambling site that says +18 and anyone not above this age limits aren't allowed to gamble.

I agree, gambling is not bad in itself but it is the people who engage in gambling that is the problem. Gambling is a choice and that is why people who can't control their gambling habits should be discouraged from gambling.

People in the society do not see gambling as good at all. There are many reasons why gambling is not seen as good. People around us who have gambled have lost everything so it is considered a curse. Compared to online gamblers, physical gamblers are viewed more negatively and various actions are taken against them by the society. Coming to the present time, the way we understand gambling, but the society does not understand gambling. A person who gambles is definitely a criminal in the eyes of society. Gambling is regularly talked about in our society and no one speaks in favor of gambling but the society is very indifferent when it comes to people who play online casino or gambling.

I have no idea why you said that people see those people who gamble in a physical casino negatively compared to those people who gamble online. They are both engaging in the same activity which is gambling. It's not the casino's fault if there are people who see gambling in a negative way, the negative that comes with gambling is only because of those people who have a bad action. Casinos only give different kinds of games to provide entertainment. It's all up to gamblers whether we choose to let gambling become a destructive force in our lives.

This seems like a bit of a political issue instead of ethical issue if you ask me. Why? Because "banning" something, or making it illegal, is the work of lawmakers, hence the politicians. So if a politician, or all of them, get together and make gambling illegal in a country, they are making a political stance. I believe that a thing that doesn't hurt others, should be allowed, that is the liberal approach, liberty, as you know, means somewhere around freedom, so if you are going to lose all your money to gambling, you should have the right to do so, its your money, you can do whatever you want with it. Making it illegal, or doing something that would prevent people from gambling, is not really sounding like freedom, is it? You may limit it if you want, that's a way, but making it completely illegal?
I prefer USA's approach on this, you can't gamble all over the nation, but there are few places you are allowed to go to in order to gamble, most known are Las Vegas and Atlantic City, they seem like the best ones but there are few more. So its really not that much of a shocker.

But we are living in a modern society now, and modern society has utilized gambling as entertainment, many organizations and institutions have promoted responsible gambling, so we now have responsible gamers, in the olden times this was not like this, and the gambling industry have created jobs, employment and sustain countries through taxation, I'm not glorifying gambling but gambling has a positive contribution to our society, people may look at it as a curse but many people and country have benefited from the money it's bringing to the government.

I support your view but to add to it, legislating on gambling will mean committing injustice to others who find happiness in it. The best approach is to help individuals who are struggling with gambling addiction rather than ban it. I will ask, is it proper to ban alcohol because someone easily gets drunk when he consumes alcohol? This can be likened to gambling, hence, it would be an injustice to prohibit gambling because few persons exhibit negative attitudes due to gambling.

Some countries are very radical with their way of seeing casino games and sports betting, according to Arab countries it can cause something against what their religion means and go against normal things for them, in other countries like mine It is a business model, it was closed for more than 20 years and then they closed it because they offered the government a good cut and now the casino and sports betting are legal, but despite being a third world country, it is it moves a lot of money, so they are things that sometimes cannot be understood, in general I will always consider the best things that can be done in order to have a better form of entertainment, because no government or country should oppose Our priority will always be to be happy, and a government cannot deny that.
Regarding these things, we have to find a way to not stay there and not continue limiting ourselves by not having fun.

Well, what you have said is just your opinion regarding gambling, and it seems you are only dropping this opinion probably because of what you have experienced from most people who are gamblers in your area of residence. But one question I would love to ask you is: have you ever seen every gambling in the world? If you have not, then how can you tell that every gambler has the same gambling lifestyle, or how can you conclude that gambling is a curse?
To cut short my many explanations, I would love to say that gambling is for fun and can also serve as a social entertainment means. What happens to some gamblers is that they take the wrong approach to gambling, and due to how they handle gambling, they become addicted, compulsive, lose their minds to it, and endanger the lives of others with their reckless behaviors. Gambling is not to blame but rather the individual who allows themselves to be ruled by gambling.
Too much love and curiosity for money have also made some people do many illegal activities in society today. Do we then say money is also a curse in society because of how people are doing unlawful things just to get money?

Gambling is a social crime and illegal in most countries. Gambling has a huge impact on the society of every country. Gambling creates enmity and hatred towards each other in the society.
I do not know the background you are coming from but over here we don't share this same view because gambling is not seen from the negative perspective neither are gamblers seen as failures. Most times some famous gamblers even trend on Twitter (X) especially when they drop games that thousands of persons win with.
When I see people make all manner of negative comment about gambling, I begin to wonder if it is the gambling I know or something else. I even see people associate suicide to gambling, this is strange to me because life is already hard here and a lot of people have overcame depression through the hash policies of our government. So gambling is the least thing that can make people depressed.
Gambling is all about planning, if you plan your finances well, you don't have any business getting depressed as a result of losses in gambling because you will already know you have to only gamble with what you can afford to lose.

Gambling is a social curse but there was gambling in the earliest civilizations of the world and there is gambling today and there will be gambling in the future. Gambling will never be eradicated from the society because in modern civilization, various countries of the world have placed gambling in the progress of civilization and some countries have officially accepted gambling and they have prioritized gambling as a source of pleasure. Therefore, as much as we consider gambling as bad, the big developed countries of the world do not consider gambling as bad and a curse. So no matter how much we label gambling as a negative, gambling will remain an important place in the world.

Gambling is played by many people in many ways, some participate in gambling for fun and others become addicted to it. I think gambling is fun because by gambling people can improve in terms of income and over addiction people face losses. As it is online gambling there will be no partiality of enmity, but in reality gambling is a crime yet people get addicted to gambling. A lot of crime in gambling society because it corrupts the society. And not being addicted to gambling is the best.
As I gamble but I never gamble in public in secret.

Of course a gambler is a great curse to the society where a gambler resides a family has to face many kinds of problems. When you become a gambling addict, you are a criminal in the eyes of society. A gambler can never do anything good for a family rather he does many types of crimes to destroy a family. But there are many individuals who gamble but don't become addicted they gamble responsibly but people don't know they are only experienced players.

A gambler is not only a burden to the family but the curse of the gambling society because various crimes will be organized by the gambler in the society. A gambler in particular is socially stigmatized simply because of various crimes because a gambler would not think twice about stealing, robbing, or even murdering people to collect gambling money. A gambler does not hesitate to steal his wife's jewelery or even the family's accumulated money to manage his gambling money. So a gambler can never be a good part of the society rather he is socially recognized as a cursed or social problem.

Gambling is currently legal in most countries, but gambling is still illegal in some countries. Gambling is a social crime but not a social crime for all countries where it is legal. Gambling should be used purely as entertainment. Gambling should never be used outside of entertainment. Whenever a person uses gambling outside of entertainment to earn money, that person will become addicted to gambling and will become hated by everyone, family and even religion. Always set a fixed income budget for gambling and never use winnings without a fixed income budget. Gambling is not a crime according to many religious rules, some religions allow gambling. However, gambling is completely illegal and prohibited for Islam.

You have asked enlightened questions. This justifies making hasty generalizations regarding gambling is wrong. We have decent gamblers and some others who have touched lives from the gains from gambling. Would you still regard this as a curse?
What happens to some gamblers is that they take the wrong approach to gambling, and due to how they handle gambling, they become addicted, compulsive, lose their minds to it, and endanger the lives of others with their reckless behaviors. Gambling is not to blame but rather the individual who allows themselves to be ruled by gambling.
You gave a well-dissected response. Gambling is not bad, it is the gamblers who have allowed greed and get rich-rich-quick mentality to override their rationality and this has taken a toll on how they gamble. When you take a close look at people who are profiting from gambling you easily noticed that; they are disciplined and don't approach gambling with a mindset of getting rich overnight and this is why they select very few games and record better success.
