Yes, yes it is. Among the major Abrahamic religions gambling is an insult to God since you are putting your faith in chance rather than God.It is also sometimes considered usury.
Don't worry though, many of the things you do everyday are considered abominations. Things like eating anything from the water without fins. Or failing to shave the head of a woman without a veil. We live in a time when you can do whatever you want and easily find another person who thinks God is fine with that.  Wink


Deuteronomy 4:2

Gambling is not even mentioned in the entire bible, it is not a sin.

Please stop with this ancient revelations. Bible is great and all, but some of the 'laws' from Old Testament should be treated with grain of salt.
There are many examples and I give you one:

The Bible - Lev. 11:6-8 says touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football?
Can I have leather gloves or can I have leather upholstery etc. Don't be paranoid guys.
