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?

The reason was simple, religious people believed gambling is owned by devils. I don't know where you can find in the bible that states gambling is a sin, I'm not a religious man either lol. I've actually seen people who are somehow involved into a religion that prohibits gambling, but they handle it like it's nothing as long as their fellow people from the religious community doesn't see him or know it then it's all good like it's not of a big deal.
Most of the cases like this, are people who are not serious with their religious belief, it's just that the family are too fond with their religion so one should get along, that's the religious culture here in PH.
But in my POV, there's nothing evil about gambling as long as you don't become irresponsible financially. Also, if one is really SERIOUS about their religious belief, then they should not gamble in the first place, otherwise he is just fooling himself into believing the teachings of his religion.

Frankly speaking, gambling is a choice but nowadays individuals perceive and regard gambling as a deviant behavior.

Religiously, people take gambling as a sin.However,the bible only made mention of the love of money and people that engage in exploiting people through get rich quick schemes.

Moreso, different religions have different beliefs and opinions about gambling, it could mean a side hustle to some, to some it can be a fun event e.t.c.
Opinions about gambling vary according to people's experiences, mentality and beliefs but the most important thing I sense here is that gambling is a choice despite it being addressed in worshipping centres or wherever.
In order for you to be on the safer side, just ensure that you're not addicted to gambling because they're actually measured guidelines to adhere to.

Everyone is a decision maker personally, so it's a simple knowledge to make a decision for yourself to gamble with caution and consciousness to gamble as a choice but not to get addicted to it.Forget about religion and set clear boundaries.

We are just humans and even on how gambling is really that highly prohibited on which its connected into our religion but still this one would really be that ending up on possible
engagement despite of those prohibitions or simply it is really that seeing as a sin when you do get involved with it. People wont care up that much as long they would really be that dealing up with
something that makes them that interested and thats very common behavior for most people and this is why its not really that shocking in this case. Its really that just that depending
on you on how you would really be giving out that kind of important when it comes into this aspect on which every person does have their own will and intellect on how things
do work.
