Those other issues may be more pressing than gambling. The disparity of resources may be justified.
A survey of websites devoted to approaching public policy from a Christian perspective likewise turns up a relatively small amount of material on gambling compared with the flood of resources applying the Bible to marriage, homosexuality, human exploitation, and abortion. For example, Wayne Grudem’s 600-page book on “politics according to the Bible” has only a page and a half devoted to gambling-and those pages don’t have a single specific Scripture reference. When the issue of gambling arises, debate can become a battle of conflicting statistics without the Bible coming up much.
