Judaism has a more nuanced relationship with gambling. While not explicitly prohibited in the Torah, the Talmud raises serious concerns. A professional gambler (playing games of chance for a living) is considered unfit to serve as a judge or witness because they are seen as not contributing productively to society. However, occasional recreational gambling (like a Purim raffle) is widely accepted in Jewish communities.
