Two-thirds of Americans find gambling to be morally acceptable behavior, according to a new Gallup poll.
The poll, which was based on a phone survey (landline and mobile) of randomly sampled US adults last month, revealed that 67% of Americans find gambling to be “morally acceptable” while just 27% viewed gambling as “morally wrong.”
The poll (viewable here) queried respondents on 19 contentious subjects, of which gambling ranked fourth highest in terms of moral acceptability and third last in terms of being ‘wrong’.
Only birth control, divorce and sex out of wedlock were deemed more morally acceptable to gambling. For the record, the categories that scored lowest on the moral acceptability scale were suicide (18%), polygamy (14%), cloning humans (13%) and married men and women having an affair (10%).

Online betting operator Bet365’s Australian division has been slapped with multimillion dollar fine over a misleading promotion.
On Friday, an Australian federal court slapped Bet365 with a A$2.75m (US $2m) fine for a ‘free bet’ offer that ran for 10 months between 2013-14. The fine represents 10% of the company’s Australian revenue to March 2014, when the promo was pulled.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) launched legal proceedings against Bet365 in 2014 following customer complaints about the “$200 free bets to new customers” promo on the company’s website.
The offer required punters to wager their $200 deposit and the bonus three times before being allowed to withdraw any winnings, while also requiring that all of the associated bets be on odds greater than 1.5. Customers complained that the ad made no mention of these requirements.
