The Ruling on Gambling in Electronic Games

Question
There are websites on the internet where a sum of money is placed, and there is a competitor who puts another amount, so that the money goes to whoever chooses the correct column. Are these games permissible or forbidden?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: this is a type of forbidden gambling; because it is based on luck, and God knows best.
