It's okay as long as the game belongs to you, rather than you belonging to the game.

Remember that the church's most compelling tenet is its acknowledgement of individual free will.

The Church can only tell you what they consider to be the methodology to live a relatively peaceful, stress-free life by following its teachings.

However, we have free will, and ultimately make our own decisions on how we shall live.

The Church's contention is that high-risk behavior like gambling has social and moral and consequences. If you engage in such activity, you should be prepered to suffer the consequences.
