Criticism
Criticism towards gambling persists, with the belief that these games have a detrimental effect on society by exacerbating wealth inequality and contributing to social issues.

What do you think? Why is there such a different attitude to gambling products and will it ever change?

Religion and the culture affects the whole perception to every gambler and we cannot change that one, what we can do is to accept it.
This is why most of the gambler prefer to gamble on their own and play online than to go to casinos. Different perception to gambling varies on every belief and culture, there's no way to change this one because religion comes a long way even before gambling. If this is against the belief of your community, expect to receive lots of criticism, just focus on what you think is right and be responsible for that.

This is true. Religion is what makes gambling have a stigma on a country with strong religion like Christianity and Islam. Gambling can be considered as a leisure games since its impact on finance of someone will not gonna be huge if he knew how to handle it.

The risk is not the problem but the way religion put a negative impression on gambling since they are relying on the negative result on gambling addicts and ignore all those entertainment given on most of the player. Until now, I’m still ashamed to know my family that I’m gambling even if I have a white collar job with good salary. I’m living too on my own yet my mother will surely give me a beating when they knew that I play gambling.
