A new Pew Research Center study surveyed people in 25 countries, asking if gambling is morally acceptable, morally unacceptable, or not a moral issue. Here at home, 20% of adults say gambling is morally acceptable and 50% don’t consider gambling a moral issue; the rest feel that gambling is morally unacceptable. Canadians were similar: 27% unacceptable, 30% acceptable, 41% not a moral issue. (The rest don’t have an opinion.) Americans and Canadians were least likely to find gambling wrong. Contrast that with the other side of the survey, where 89% of Indonesians, 83% of Indians, 78% of Turks, 72% of Nigerians, and 71% of Italians consider gambling morally unacceptable. There were gender, age, and religious differences as well; you can see the whole survey here.
