The Ruling on Profit Based on Luck

Question
We have a game where we pay an amount, for example, a thousand som for registration. When our group is filled with nine people like me, we invite others to register. When the group behind us is full, they do what we do, meaning they invite others to register, and the process continues. There are conditions similar to gambling, and there are no questions to answer; only the first nine people to fill up receive the prize?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It appears that they are forms of gambling, thus they are prohibited; because the profit in them is based on luck, and God knows best.
