Summary
Promoting gambling is forbidden by any means, including inviting others to take part in it. Gambling is a game in which the player stands between gain and loss, and it is prohibited in the Quran. Social media influencers are advised to be more careful and to check a product before promoting it, and to be alert to matters whose prohibition is clear.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
