Gambling is considered much the same as consuming alcohol and other activities that can become vices. If done in moderation then there is no problem. If not done in moderation then you can be in big trouble. The Catholic Church officially teaches: Games of chance (card games, etc.) or wagers are not in themselves contrary to justice. They become morally unacceptable when: + They deprive someone of what is necessary to provide for his needs and those of others + The passion for gambling risks becoming an enslavement Unfair wagers and cheating at games constitute grave matter. For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 2413: http://www.nccbuscc.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art7.htm#2413 With love in Christ.
