No religion supports gambling but some religion strictly observes it and some do not. But despite this restriction, people are very interested in gambling because they try to earn money from home. Some people think that if no one else knows about their gambling then there is no problem in gambling. Moreover, with fiat, a gambler's information can be obtained, but since crypto does not have that possibility, many people have become interested in crypto gambling. People gamble despite religious prohibitions on gambling. It is a personal matter. But there is no doubt that the number of gamblers using crypto has increased a lot. Those who are directly opposed to gambling are now also gambling.

Besides Islam, no religion forbids gambling. When I say forbid I mean that none of their Holy Book states that gambling is forbidden. Islam in the Koran calls in Haram but gambling is not covered in the Bible and some other religious books. However, some religious preachers speak about gambling based on the views or perspectives they have about gambling activity. Some of them base these teachings on public opinion and political views. Most of them will always refer to gambling addiction as the reason why gambling should be forbidden but they fail to acknowledge that there are many responsible gamblers. They also fail to understand that gambling contributes to government revenue and some gambling firms also support the community. I think the focus of these religious teachings should be to discourage gambling addiction and encourage responsible gambling.
