Because it is built on the exploitation of others (often taking advantage of poor people who think they can gain instant wealth).” John MacArthur Because it is driven by the sin of covetousness (tempting people to give in to their greed).

“Gambling is a sickness, a disease, an addiction, an insanity, and is always a loser in the long run.” “Gambling is the child of avarice, the brother of iniquity, and the father of mischief.” – George Washington
