This is the gambling (maysir) that Allah has forbidden and made a companion to riba (usury or interest) and idols. It is your luck and fortune. This is gambling, may Allah protect us from it, and it is consuming wealth through falsehood, through betting, and through competitions. All of this is from gambling, and from consuming the wealth of people through falsehood. Yes.
