Allah says
( يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ قُلْ فِيهِمَا إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمَا)
(They ask you about alcohol and gambling. Say in it great sin and benefits for people and their sin is greater than their benefit)
The question is the key to knowledge, and they asked Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - during the time he was among them 1445 years ago about the most important things in their lives at that time (alcohol and gambling), which are the old and the new in every era. Many people ask about them, and within the limits of our limited knowledge - Western countries A full third of its economy is based on gambling, so, if God Almighty had not mentioned (that they are beneficial), the owners of gambling clubs would have been surprised, but God Almighty mentioned that in His Final Book. In this file, we will talk about common, ordinary gambling, and modern gambling, especially children’s gambling... Let’s begin.
The religious rooting of the subject
Facilitator in language
It means gambling, or betting
Gambling meaning
Playing for a reward, any game that depends on bets, or money, is gambling
Before Islam
Al-Maysir relied on gambling with camels that could be slaughtered,
And the game was played using gambling with glasses and shares, until gambling became with the appearance of coins, with each player taking out money and the winner at the end of the game taking all the money from all players, Hence the reason behind his prohibition
Allah says
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ [النساء : 29]
O you who have believed, do not consume your wealth among yourselves in falsehood. [An-Nisa: 29]
The Facilitator rule in sunnah
On the authority of Abu Hurairah - may God be pleased with him - on the authority of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - that he said: Whoever among you swears, And he said in his oath: By al-Lat, let him say: There is no god but God, and whoever says to his companion: Come, I gamble with you, let him give charity)
The Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - said: (God has forbidden you wine, gambling, and dice or chess.
The jurists agreed on the prohibition of gambling categorically; This is due to the clear evidence for its prohibition, which is as follows:
The prophet Peace Be Upon Him said
(Whoever plays with dice, it is as if he dipped his hand in the flesh and blood of pig)
The prophet Peace Be Upon Him said
The gambling was not forbidden except for a great reason and a clear wisdom, and the explanation of the wisdom comes from the prohibition of gambling
1 - Dealing with gambling causes enmity and hatred to spread among people, and wisdom has come explicitly in the Holy Qur’an, as previously mentioned.
2- Dealing with gambling or playing gambling distracts from the remembrance of God Almighty, and distracts the Muslim from his prayers and other things that are beneficial to him. In his religion and his worldly life, as stated in the sequel to the previous verse:
3 - The gambler considers consuming people's money unjustly and unjustly, which Sharia categorically forbids.
The forms of facilitator have varied today
due to the diversity of civilization, technological progress, the expansion of human horizons, and the emergence of many forms of development, so people compete in sports matches, And horse racing, as well as games via the Internet, and short messages over the phone, and there are those who attributed that even competitions, and games spread on television and radio, which end with giving a prize to the winner, are classified as facilitators.
Let's not forget the government run lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions that make a difference to the government budget.
The harmful of gambling
Gambling addiction is finally recognised as a behavioural disorder by the World Health Organisation, and thus should be treated with the gravity it deserves. A scratch card on a 16th birthday can, for some, be the start of a corrosive, life-long struggle and we simply must shine a light on the subject.
The odds are against you
Gambling is economically irrational. why? Because the odds are against you. Every gambling venue has an edge. This is no secret. It is an important point in the list of pros and cons of online gambling as well as land-based casinos. The gambling place always wins, sooner or later. In casino terminology, it is called the "House edge" edge and represents the mathematical advantage that the gambling place has over the players. The result is that, in the long run, the casino gets more money out of you, no matter how much you win. It ensures that a percentage of the money you bet returns to the place over time. You can still win money in games and win money, but over a longer period of time the gambling scene will come to the fore.
Loss of money
One of the most serious disadvantages of online gambling, or any type of gambling, is that players cannot win all the games without losing a few, just as with a big win in a gambling place, it is also possible to lose money, as mentioned earlier, the gambling venue has an advantage over the players. It is a huge disadvantage for the players, but it does not stop them from gambling, mostly because they realize that, most of the time, gambling is a game of chance, and losing money can turn into a serious problem. Gambling addiction can lead to significant financial losses, especially since people who are addicted to gambling are willing to go to great lengths to get money to continue gambling. They often take out large loans that they cannot repay and in some cases, this may lead them to resort to crime.
Addictive
One of the biggest disadvantages of online gambling is that players run the risk of developing a gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is a very real impulse control disorder that can cause severe changes in brain function. Those who suffer from this type of addiction often cannot control the urge to gamble, regardless of its impact on their lives. Any gambling activity that has a negative impact on your life is considered problem gambling. In the list of top pros and cons of online gambling, or any gambling game, compulsive gambling is the biggest warning sign.
It can affect a person's mental health and lead to:
anxiety
and mood swings
and atypical behaviour.
Headache
and stomach ulcers
and insomnia
and muscle pain
Depression is also common among gambling addicts
It should be noted that some people are more likely to develop a gambling addiction than others. There is a theory that these individuals are more likely to be addicted elsewhere as well, regardless of whether it is due to gambling, alcohol, or even food.
Do you know?
It can be said that there are negative effects of gambling on the economy as well. Gambling addicts can cost society in general because they may end up dependent on some form of government benefit or need medications and treatments to help overcome their disorder.
The effects of gambling addiction
Almost 10 million people in the United States suffer from a problem with gambling addiction.
Gambling addiction occurs when a person continues to gamble despite negative effects that may affect their finances, relationships, or well-being. Gambling addiction involves a compulsion to seek out gambling, betting, and betting, and the end result can be devastating for the gambler as well as his or her family. People with gambling or shopping problems often hide their problems out of shame and a desire for secrecy.
This often delays recovery and treatment and allows gambling addiction to lead to other serious effects, including
job loss
and failed relationships
and severe debt.
Problem gambling is often linked to mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. Gambling problems don't just affect mental health. People who have experienced gambling benefit greatly from treatment and often also need family counseling and financial coaching for a full recovery.
Cost of problem gambling in your community
Studies have shown that more than 6 billion dollars are lost every year due to gambling addiction. This problem is far-reaching and can cause individuals and businesses alike to panic and act in ways they would not normally. Gambling addiction also places a severe strain on prison systems, public assistance programs, and legal systems. There are many consequences of gambling addiction that lead to economic costs to society.
Some of the risks of community gambling addiction include:
High rates of unemployment
bankruptcy
Fraud and forgery verification
Forced home sales
Increased alcohol and drug use
Poor mental and physical health of individuals and families
How does gambling affect the individual and the family?
While an addicted person will certainly suffer during a gambling addiction, that person's family will also face challenges. The stress of a problem gambler may lead to irritable behavior, secrecy, and arguments. Calls from creditors and bill collectors corrode relationships. Financial pressures affect the whole family, and strained relationships make the experience difficult even for extended family members, friends, and colleagues.
Children of gambling addicts also suffer in many ways
Emotional neglect and abandonment (and even physical abandonment) when a parent is consumed with addiction.
Nervous and irritable parents may angrily lash out at children, and even if they don't, those children can feel their parents' stress. Children of people with gambling addictions are at a higher risk of developing their addiction later in life.
If you can't stop gambling, your life will change forever
The effects of gambling addiction are often quite evident. A large number of people who engage in compulsive gambling will use credit cards and debit cards to pay online casinos or gambling establishments. If you engage in a gambling problem, you are more likely to incur debt, damage your relationships, and lose your goals in life. There are many ways an untreated gambling addiction can change your life. Family problems are very common. Almost all gamblers around the world have problems at home with their families due to their addiction.
Financial ruin is inevitable
People with gambling addiction will take drastic measures to get money to gamble. Many people eventually resort to theft, taking out large loans, or other desperate means that are inconsistent with their personal character. Job loss is very high among gambling addicts. Gambling addiction can lead to absenteeism or distracted going to work. Gambling addiction will interfere with work relationships, promotions and employment.
Now: we review some of the modern types of gambling
The gambling industry is divided into three main divisions now in the world
1 - Fortune gambling (gambling house)
2 - Horse and dog racing
3 - Lottery
Other non-gambling games include the following
Playing cards, such as Fool's Poker, Bridge, Basset, Lansquenet, Pique, Place, Teen Patty
dice games
Although coin toss is not usually played in a casino, it is known to be an official gambling game in some casinos.
Fixed odds betting
Fixed odds betting and Parimutuel betting often occur in many sporting events and political elections.
Many bookmakers offer fixed odds on a number of non-sports-related outcomes, for example the direction and extent of movement of various financial indicators, the winner of television competitions such as Big Brother, and the outcome of elections. The results are in an open market.
The parimutuel betting
One of the most popular forms of gambling is betting on horse or greyhound racing. Betting may take place through parimutuel pools, or bookmakers may take bets personally. Parimutuel bets pay out at prices set by the support in the betting pools, while bookmakers pay either on the odds offered at the time the bet is accepted; Or on the average odds given by the bookies at the time the race started.
9 - sports betting
Team sports betting has become an important service industry in many countries. For example, millions of people play pool football every week in the United Kingdom. In addition to organized sports betting, both legal and illegal, there are many side betting games played by regular groups of spectators, such as NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket Pools, Super Bowl Squares, Fantasy Sports Leagues with entry fees, winnings, and in-person spectator games such as moundball.
virtual sports
Based on sports betting, virtual sports are fantasy and never software made sporting events that can be played every time without wondering about external things like weather conditions.
11- Arbitrage betting
Arbitrage betting is a theoretically risk-free betting system in which every outcome of an event is wagered so that the bettor will make a known profit upon completion of the event, regardless of the outcome. Arbitrage betting is a combination of the ancient art of arbitrage trading and gambling, made possible by the large numbers of bookies in the market, creating occasional arbitrage opportunities.
12 - Other types of bets
One can also bet with another person that
The statement is true or false
or that a specific event will or will not happen (“a back bet”) within a specified period of time
This is especially the case when two people have opposing viewpoints but have strong opinions about the truth or events.
Not only do both parties hope to profit from the bet, but they also place the bet to prove their certainty on the issue. There must be some means of defining the issue at hand. Sometimes the bet amount remains symbolic, which indicates that the outcome is the same in principle and is of no financial significance.
Betting exchanges allow consumers to step back and take the odds of their choosing. Similar to the stock exchange in some ways, a bettor may want to back a horse (hoping it will win) or put a horse (hoping it will lose), effectively acting as a bettor.
Spread betting allows gamblers to bet on the outcome of an event where the pay off is centered on the accuracy of the bet, rather than just a "win or lose" outcome. For example, the bet can be based on the time a point is scored in the game in minutes and every minute away from the prediction increases or decreases the payout.
13 - Staking systems
Many betting systems have been created in an effort to "beat the casino" but no system can make a mathematically unprofitable expected value bet profitable over time. Widely used systems include:
Cards account
Many Blackjack systems exist to track the ratio of ten values to all the others; When this percentage is high, the player has an advantage and must increase the amount of his bets. Keeping track of the cards dealt gives you an advantage in other games as well
Accrual column bet
A variation of the fixed winnings bet in which the bettor sets a target profit and then calculates the size of the bet that will produce that profit, adding any losses to the target.
Fixed profits
Bets vary based on the odds to ensure the same profit on each winning selection.
Fixed bets
A traditional system of betting the same amount on each selection.
Kelly
Optimal level of betting to increase your future average bank level.
Martingale
A system that relies on enough bets each time to recover losses from the previous bet(s) until one wins.

Fourth: The alarming rise of child gambling
Following alarming reports that child gambling is on the rise, we examine the methodology behind luring forms of advertising and tell you what to look out for.
Following alarming reports that child gambling is on the rise, we examine the methodology behind luring forms of advertising and tell you what to look out for.
A UK study from The Gambling Commission revealed that 450,000 children aged 11 to 16 are now betting regularly, with campaigners labelling the issue a ‘generational scandal’.
Despite CAP failsafes (UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing) instated for the protection of young people, gambling companies continue to exploit loopholes in legislation, while thinly veiled means of betting slip under the radar entirely.
Gen Z are renowned for their culture of instant gratification. Whether it’s immediate communication, news, food, or shopping, they’re all about convenience… convenience is the driver of efficiency, and technology is the vehicle to get them there.
It’s no surprise then that large numbers of teens are turning to ‘in-play’ betting apps like bet365 and Betfair in search of instant winnings. Bets can be placed, and stakes withdrawn at the touch of a button. It’s a match made in heaven.
Troublingly, 59% of 11 to 16-year-olds have seen gambling advertisements on social media with 24% actively following betting companies, and this pool are said to be three times as likely to spend money on these apps.
Sport – particularly football – is becoming increasingly interwoven with live gambling nowadays. You can’t get through a 90-minute match without being bombarded with ‘the tastiest odds’ from Ray Winstone during the half-time ads and even directly before kickoff. It’s becoming so normalised that it’s almost expected of spectators, and that’s a danger for younger generations.
