Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
Betting is forbidden, and it is not a condition for its prohibition that the bet involves money in the form of cash or currency used among people. Even if the bet is on something like a picture, a car, a television, food, or anything else, it is also forbidden.
May you be successful in all good.
