When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?

Religions not only wanted to keep people away from gambling, they also wanted to keep people away from prostitution and interest. But today the porn industry has legalized prostitution, just as banking has legalized interest. The world is rapidly secularizing and the influence of religions is rapidly weakening. Unless you live in a small village or a small town, in 20 or 30 years you will be caught up in this wind and you will see gambling becoming legalized.
In my opinion, this is all social media's fault.
I mean, there's a good side to social media because we can somehow connect with our relatives who are far away from us but still, there are limitations that seem to be uncontrolled by them. Gambling, pornography, and other things that are against one's religion can be seen there and social media filters seem to be having trouble in fixing it. There are still others who are getting away from it. Weakening religions, I agree with that. Unlike before we ain't too busy to look at our smartphones the whole day so we always have the time to go to church and do the traditional Sunday worship but it's different now. A person could say he/she will just use his phone to watch the livestream of it but we all know that's not what is going to happen.
The gambling industry is stronger now because of the ease of access and I bet 1/1000 (maybe higher) people would rather gamble in their Sunday rest than do the praising of their God.
