As in, even a dev, HR, etc person having worked for an online gambling company? I feel this may be a slippery slope..

Everything is a slippery slope to somewhere. That doesn't mean you can't draw lines.
Doesn't mean it is wise to do so either. I promise you, 5 lines of your political beliefs and I can make you look like a hypocritical and ignorant a55hole to the world. And I can do so purely with data and various ethical guidelines.
I doubt you have though through most of your "beliefs" or learned of the policy consequences of many of your political positions. If you had, you wouldn't be such an absolutist. You still think you should be judge, jury and executioner over others? What are you, 6?
PS Your type of absolutist moralism has been the basis for most of humanities worst atrocities, stop it...you aren't more moral than other people.
I have no idea who you think you're responding to, but it's not me. Also, your angry tone won't convince anyone.
ok, what's buying milk at a corner shop a slippery slope to?
The extermination and/or enslavement of all mammals.

Prediction markets are far, far more slippery. Anyone working at one of these places had other options & chose to sell their morals so I think it's perfectly reasonable to not hire them.
Presumably you include anyone who worked at any FANG, or Chic-Fila, or Elon-attached corp etc etc?
Don't forget the janitors. They're all accomplices of the peddlers of misery.
Actions have consequences. You can justify your actions however you want, and I can judge you for them.
I'm not sure what this moralising adds to this conversation, I was talking about hiring practises.
