There are some religions that have strict views on gambling, some considering it morally wrong. However, people still gamble for various reasons.

Have you ever faced any conflicts between your religious beliefs versus gambling? How it happen and how did you handle it?
How do different religions view gambling? What could be the reasons behind it?


I have never seen someone who is truly religious playing gambling. Religion teaches us what is good and because gambling too actively can make religious people not worship, forget their obligations in the family and become addicted to gambling, religion makes gambling something that is forbidden. When a person is truly religious, that person will definitely obey the rules completely and will never want to gamble because religion prohibits it.
Probably only truly devout and religious people will not be involved in gambling, most of the people I meet in my country, although there are certain religions but most of them do not limit problem gambling because gambling is not a bad omen or an evil in society, coming to it is a personal choice and as long as individuals do not associate gambling and religion with each other, the clear distinction will not cause any controversy or opposition. Hopefully such views will be maintained, and bad factors should not be allowed to influence and disrupt the balance between religion and gambling.
