Jurists respect internet gambling. From their point of view, all kinds of virtual games, as long as they are not subject to the two conditions of playing with gambling devices and winning and losing, there will be no prohibition in playing them. Gambling is also criminalized in the Islamic Penal Code and the punishment is set for it. Of course, in the Islamic Penal Code, the condition of becoming a gambler and as a result of the game being considered criminal, gambling with gambling devices and equipment or any other means is prohibited. In fact, the legislator has only mentioned gambling because in reality, winning and losing, which are necessary to be considered gambling, are covered in the concept of gambling. Although traditional gambling was criminalized in criminal law, due to the principle of narrow interpretation of criminal laws, it was not possible to punish internet gambling based on existing laws. On the other hand, in the existing laws, betting and lotteries were not criminalized and there was a kind of legal vacuum in this regard, especially in the virtual space, which was solved by the introduction of the single article of the amendment law of Article 70 to 711 of the Penal Code. Of course, although the single article of the mentioned amendment has provided for a monetary punishment, it has dealt with the punishment of imprisonment, which is not compatible with the lawmaker's de-imprisonment approach and criminal policy.
