Yeah, you're right.

At the end of the day you have to be smart about your life.

If you are at work, simply work and don't do anything else, gambling or social media while working could potentially backfire at you, so why bother.

It's the safest approach to simply work at your work hours.

It’s surely the safest approach. Why do anything else during work hours than the actual work assignments and for which you’re being paid.
Social media would only distract you from whatever tasks you’ve got and you’ll end up burning more time than initially intended. Gambling in my opinion, is much worse at after placing bets and maybe losing out on the bets placed, it could emotionally affect the person which could in turn affect the work performance of the person.
I doubt anyone would still feel motivated at work after losing some good money while gambling at work.

Well, sorry but I have to disagree with your both of you, a little play while at work does not cause any distraction except the person is lazy and doesn't want to work., during work hours, there is always a break or lunch time, this time usually is like one hour long or more for some companies, this time is a time a worker can use to do whatever he or she likes and wants to do, like taking a nap, watching a movie, playing video games, having lunch, visiting a friend who lives nearby, escorting a friend somewhere and so on.

A worker instead of doing any of the above in their free time at work might choose to rather play some gambling games, just for fun by the way, this is nothing wrong to do, as long as the worker does not allow what ever be the outcome of his or her gambling affect his or her productivity at work.
When I was working, we usually go and play lotto in a nearby lotto shop in our free time at work, never have the outcome go the lotto I played affect my productivity at work, only a worker who is lazy and doesn't want to work will use outcome of a gambling as an excuse to why they are unable to meet up with their work target.
