You only go to hell if you beat me.

And you go there immediately if you spam RF.

If you gamble away your entire life thus bringing great misfortune on your family, the result would probably qualify as hell.

If you stay aware and careful, you'll be fine.

Talk about a loaded question! I'll bite, though. No, I don't not believe you are going to any kind of "hell". Gambling needs no punishment from God, the consequences of losing one's shirt while gambling is consequence enough. ;);)

No, I don't think you'll go to hell because I don't believe in the traditional concept of hell.

But I do think serious gambling is bad and will be regretted in the afterlife. The money you win comes from other gamblers who must ultimately be losers for you to be a winnner. Do you know the full stories of all these losers and how losing effected their lives?

And even if you're winning from other professional gamblers, how do you know where their money to gamble came from. Probably from a chain of losers you will never know personally. How did losing effect all those people's lives down the chain?

Sorry to be so blunt but you asked the question because it must be on your mind. However, there are worse things than gambling;)
