Here's what I can say about this subject. My whole Christian life I considered gambling to be a sin and a terrible waste of money. However, in 2020 during a very difficult season in my life, where I was really struggling with my finances the Lord came to me and specifically told me to go and purchase a lottery ticket. I did not know the first thing about how to play the lottery and had to research it so I wouldn't embarrass myself at the purchase counter. I got the ticket and that same week won $1000 in lottery winnings, confirming that God had indeed asked me to do so.
So, my advice to you is, unless you have received an explicit promise from God that he intends to give you the lottery, then don't play it. You're wasting your time and money and probably having your heart corrupted in the process. But, if God has indeed spoken to you and told you to go play the lottery than do it, because He has good reason for it.
"But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you." Luke 11:41 NIV
Gambling is rooted in addiction.
Greed is the root of evil (as the video said)
Video games are meditation on violence.
Proverbs 6:16-19
From what I understand yes, because you're not managing your money properly.
Matthew 25:14-30
Parable of the Three Servants
14 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone. 15 He gave five bags of silver[a] to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip.
16 “The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. 17 The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. 18 But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money.
19 “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money. 20 The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’
21 “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together![b]’
22 “The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.’
23 “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’
24 “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. 25 I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’
26 “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, 27 why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’
28 “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. 29 To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. 30 Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
