Lottery activities in Saudi Arabia are strictly regulated due to Islamic principles that prohibit gambling. The country follows Sharia law, which considers gambling as haram (forbidden). However, there are some government-approved raffles and prize-based savings schemes that operate within legal boundaries.
These legal alternatives include savings programs offered by banks and financial institutions where participants can win prizes through random draws while maintaining their principal investment. The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority oversees these financial activities to ensure compliance with Islamic banking principles.
International lottery websites and unauthorized gambling operations are blocked within the kingdom, and residents are advised to avoid participating in such activities to prevent legal consequences. |
