Is it permissible? We give $30 each with the goal to lose 4% of body weight in 4 weeks. The money is kept in a pot collected by the company who hosts game. 4 weeks later the winners among us share the money. The company takes 10-25% of the total money collected. Those who didn’t lose enough weight or gave up don’t get anything. If everybody loses weight we simply get our $30 back
