Is Bragg Gaming (BRAG) halal?
Bragg Gaming (TSX/Nasdaq: BRAG), a B2B online gaming technology platform and casino content aggregator, gets a FAIL: gambling is the core and only reported operating segment - the ratios would pass but are moot.
The two-gate Shariah screen
Every screener on this site runs the same two gates: first, the business must be halal (no conventional insurance, banking, alcohol, gambling, weapons manufacturing, and the like); second, the financial ratios must clear (debt under roughly 33% of market cap, non-compliant income under roughly 5%).
Gate one: the business — FAILED
Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (TSX and Nasdaq: BRAG) is a business-to-business online gaming technology platform and casino content aggregator. Its interim financial statements state it is primarily and collectively a business-to-business online gaming technology platform and casino content aggregator (Note 1, Q2 2026 interim financial statements), and its FY2025 Form 40-F reports one reportable operating segment in its continuing operations: B2B Online Gaming. Products: proprietary online casino games (slots, table games, live dealer) from in-house studios, the Bragg HUB content-aggregation platform, Bragg PAM (player account management), and the Fuze player-engagement toolset - licensed and operational in 30-plus regulated markets across the US, Canada, Latin America, and Europe. There is no disclosed non-gambling revenue stream - no alcohol, conventional banking or insurance, weapons, pork, tobacco, or adult-entertainment segments. The entire revenue base is online-gaming-related, so no portion of revenue could be carved out as permissible, and the business-activity gate fails. Facts only, no fatwa.
Gate two: the ratios — PASSED (moot — business gate fails)
The ratios gate would pass, but it is moot because the business gate fails first. Debt: the Q2 2026 interim balance sheet (June 30, 2026) shows loans payable of EUR2.809M and lease obligations on right-of-use assets of EUR1.378M current plus EUR2.078M non-current - total interest-bearing debt of about EUR6.265M, about C$10.0M at an approximate EUR/CAD rate of 1.60. Against a market capitalization of about C$61.2M (Finnhub, late September 2026), that is about 16.4% - well under the ~33% ceiling. Income: interest income was EUR0.006M on revenue of EUR22.892M in Q2 2026 (about 0.03%), EUR0.005M on EUR48.544M in H1 2026 (about 0.01%), and EUR0.032M on EUR106.074M in audited FY2025 (about 0.03%) - all far under the ~5% ceiling, with numerators and denominators from the same periods. Both gates pass numerically but cannot change the screening result once the business-activity gate fails. All figures recomputed from the cited sources; Bragg Gaming reports in euros.

The bottom line
Bragg Gaming (BRAG) is a FAIL: the business gate fails. Gambling and iGaming is the company core and only reported operating segment - a business-to-business online gaming technology platform and casino content aggregator, with proprietary online casino games (slots, table games, live dealer), the Bragg HUB content-aggregation platform, Bragg PAM player account management, and the Fuze player-engagement toolset, licensed in 30-plus regulated markets. The ratios would pass but are moot: interest-bearing debt of about EUR6.265M (about C$10.0M) against a market cap of about C$61.2M is about 16.4% - under the ~33% ceiling - and audited FY2025 interest income of EUR0.032M on revenue of EUR106.074M is about 0.03% - under the ~5% ceiling. No public Zoya, Musaffa or ShariaPortfolio rating was found for this ticker as of September 2026. As with every screener here, this is a rules-based screening of published figures, not a religious ruling - consult a qualified scholar for personal guidance.
