Summary
Exchanging or redeeming free reward points for boosters is forbidden and invalid. A booster is merely a chance or luck rather than a good with value, whereas reward points are regarded as having value. The exchange resembles gambling because participants stake the chance of winning using those points.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya adalah haram dan tidak sah untuk menukar / menebus mata ganjaran yang ditawarkan kepada mereka secara percuma kepada bentuk booster.
