President D. Todd Christofferson delivered a comprehensive denunciation of gambling in all its forms during the Saturday afternoon session of October 2026 General Conference. The apostle declared gambling "morally wrong" and urged members to cease all betting activity, including sports wagering, lottery tickets, and casual wagers.

Christofferson's address comes as sports betting expands nationwide and Utah remains one of two states with comprehensive gambling prohibitions. The sermon emphasized gambling's addictive nature and its harm to families and individuals.

The talk represents the Church's most direct recent statement on gambling since the rise of online sports betting and state lottery expansions.
