The Airplane Game: The Cursed Game That Destroyed Homes and Families

[00:03] gambling den is now in your house, in my house, and in all our houses. We're all with you, Rasha Nasr. Let's all with you, Rasha Nasr. Let's

[00:26] Yes, a scam, definitely. In this episode, we can't talk about all the betting games available on websites, but we'll only talk about a game that has become very, very popular

[00:38] in Egypt, especially in recent years, and whose problems have become huge, destroying lives and problems have become huge, destroying lives and ruining homes. It's the game Crash or the Airplane. The game Crash or the Airplane has been adopted by most websites, not just

[00:55] one. And by the way, it's a very famous website where people play this game, so I don't want to mention its name so that no one comes after the episode and tells me I'm advertising for the website, even though the goal of the episode is to raise awareness, not to advertise. Because this generation knows how to find

[01:12] anything you say, whether you mention the place or not. This game is about money. What you win depends on the money you put in or play with. It's a game that has absolutely nothing to do with luck or

[01:24] skill. You can't predict when a plane will explode, of course you can't. So when a plane will explode, of course you can't. So you're betting on something that's just between you and your luck. But they do n't operate like that. They know when to lure you in, win at first, and then make you lose.

[01:39] Remember those old gambling dens? For those who went there—may God guide them and forgive us—to entice customers, they'd offer them juice to drink while they sat down and give them some coins to play with so they wouldn't have to spend any money. As soon as they started playing and winning, they'd think to

[01:56] As soon as they started playing and winning, they'd think to themselves, "It's nice and cool, I'm winning, and I haven't lost anything!" So they'd start taking out their money and playing with it. The same tricks happen with online gambling games. How? Pay attention to something very dangerous that

[02:13] these electronic games do: They offer you something called a free spin. What does a free spin mean? It means you start playing a free spin without any money and win one euro. With that one euro, you start playing, and when you start playing with it, they win it the first time to get you

[02:30] excited and think, "It's profitable!" So you start putting in your own money. That's when you enter a cycle called game addiction. And of course, we all know the dangers of addiction to anything in the world; it's

[02:42] not easy to quit. After starting with money that wasn't yours, you'll start putting in money from your own pocket and other people's too. And if you're trying to be clever and say, "Okay, I'll play the free spin, win the one euro, and play with it, and when I win the first time, I won't play with my own money again,

[02:59] and I'll delete the game," I really want to say, " Bravo!" But unfortunately, I have to tell you that the money you won is forbidden (haram) because we all know that any game that depends on luck is a game of chance. It's

[03:11] know that any game that depends on luck is a game of chance. It's wrong to think that we're trying to deceive and manipulate the game, saying things like, " Okay, I might do this, or I might not." All of that is nonsense. At the beginning of the game, when you're new, the player might win you the first time, maybe even several times in a row, and then suddenly they'll start gradually

[03:26] taking your money, leaving you to

[03:52] you lost. Logically, these websites' goal is profit, and for them, profit comes from your losses. The idea that there might be hackers who can predict your

[04:05] winnings and that you pay them money is all false. Simply put, if someone actually knew how to win, they wouldn't be able to. From these sites, he was the one who played, won, and became rich. He would have a lot of money by now. The disaster is that, unfortunately, many

[04:23] celebrities and YouTubers are now promoting apps and games like these. They keep appearing and appearing, trying to lure you in by telling you that you can win imaginary numbers and amounts of money. Of course, they are being paid by these apps, so be very careful. One of the

[04:41] widespread now is that they have even used artificial intelligence to promote this game, based on the idea that a famous person has become famous. Of course, this is not real, but through artificial intelligence, it says real, but through artificial intelligence, it says that he played and won. Of course, you are a fan of

[04:55] that he played and won. Of course, you are a fan of this artist, so you believe it and get carried away, as happened with the artists Ahmed Helmy and Mohamed Ramadan. Of course, they filed a lawsuit against them. Have you ever wondered filed a lawsuit against them. Have you ever wondered why

[05:08] these games start with such small amounts of money, maybe 5, 10, or 15 Egyptian pounds? Such amounts have become very small. It's readily available to our children, of course. This is to encourage them to play with

[05:20] this money, or even if you're an adult, you might tell yourself, "So what if it's five, ten, or fifteen pounds? It's not the price of a five, ten, or fifteen pounds? It's not the price of a soft drink." It's just a way to get them to play, because they know what they'll do next. This is strong evidence that these games aren't just about winning,

[05:35] which is understandable, but about destroying an entire generation and making them addicted to these games. What's unclear is why, and who benefits from this. Of course, when they lose and

[05:48] want to make up for it, they'll need more money and will be forced to take it or steal it from their father, mother, or even a classmate. So, what kind of generation are we raising?

[06:01] won't give you huge winnings, impossible. If you lose, you'll be their favorite, your account will stay active, and If you lose, you'll be their favorite, your account will stay active, and you'll be considered a special child. But if you play and win any large amounts, the account will still stay active, but only for a limited time. You try to withdraw your money, but they won't let you withdraw a single penny because they'll conduct an investigation and ask for

[06:16] withdraw your money, but they won't let you withdraw a single penny because they'll conduct an investigation and ask for frozen, so you can't access any money. Of course, I'm talking about large sums when you start

[06:28] winning big amounts from this game. They leave you with the small amounts you win because they use them to trick people into staying addicted to these games. They even tell their friends that they're winning, so they get their money along. I also want to tell you that the

[06:44] people you see online during the airplane game, the ones you see with they won because they placed large numbers. Be very careful about

[07:00] this point. You know that the popular app for the airplane or crash game does n't let you download it from the Google Play Store. Downloading it from their website puts you at another risk because

[07:16] once you access their apps and links, you don't know what happens to your data—your location, your accounts, and many other things you don't understand. I also want to tell you about a very serious point: the modern phones

[07:31] we buy now come with some of these games pre-installed. Of course, you might have heard about some of these games, like the one I'm talking to you about now, or from someone else. Then you might be introduced to other games you don't know about or haven't heard of before, and they're just as dangerous. So, you might

[07:48] accidentally get your child's hands on one, and they'll open it and start exploring it. And by the way, they're much smarter than us at understanding these games much faster and easier. That's why,

[08:00] when you buy a new phone and you're suspicious of any app on it, and you don't understand what it might be for, you should immediately search for it and see what it is. It's best to leave it alone if it's

[08:12] tempting to delete it, because the devil can enter through the door of temptation. There's a saying that a bet where you win is a door of temptation. There's a saying that a bet where you win is a losing bet because you get into big financial problems and crises, debts you can't repay, and your honest money is lost. Even the

[08:28] honest money can't cover the money you lost through unlawful means. Some young people, especially younger ones, consider this type of game a form of

[08:41] entertainment that also offers profit. Furthermore, many of them lack the religious awareness to distinguish between what is permissible and forbidden, even in electronic games. This is especially true now, as many people in society are looking for quick profits from

[08:57] society are looking for quick profits from TikTok or other platforms, all of which are undesirable. While we should be telling parents to monitor their children, unfortunately, we find adults also playing these games. We should remember the incident of the physics teacher

[09:12] who took his student hostage to recoup his losses. In games like these, unfortunately, the issue has escalated into murder, not to mention the breakdown of social relationships, especially between

[09:24] husbands and wives. The husband is constantly preoccupied with his addiction to these games, wasting his money. They also isolate you from your friends and family because you spend long hours on your phone playing them. Furthermore, you might seek any source of money to

[09:41] compensate for your losses – theft, murder, anything that brings in money. Of course, a question will come to mind now: why doesn't the government shut down these websites and punish those who access them? I'll tell you, the government should do that, but first, let's see if it's easy or

[09:58] do that, but first, let's see if it's easy or difficult. Naturally, there's a law that punishes anyone who goes to gamble in a casino, according to Article 352 of the Penal Code, which states that the person who gambles, or the place where that person gambles, is punishable by imprisonment

[10:14] and a fine not exceeding 1000 Egyptian pounds, in addition to the confiscation of all money and belongings. It exists in the place. Okay, so can this be applied to those who access online gaming sites? Yes, of course, the same penalty can be applied. But is it easy for the state to know that the squatter is sitting

[10:29] easy for the state to know that the squatter is sitting right now, holding your phone, playing these games, right now, holding your phone, playing these games, transferring money to them, and receiving money in return? Unfortunately, no. Why? Because if you ask anyone who accessed these sites to play, they'll tell you they're using

[10:43] these sites to play, they'll tell you they're using fake information. Accounts on these sites are created with just a fake name and email address. They don't even consider the most basic requirement, like that it might be restricted for children. Age doesn't matter to them at all. All that's required is your name, a fake email address, a

[10:58] required is your name, a fake email address, a password you create, and the phone number you transfer money to or receive money to, and you're logged in. Besides, you can easily deposit the money you Besides, you can easily deposit the money you use through numerous payment methods that are

[11:11] not under state control, like Vodafone Cash outlets, Visa, or even small change cards that are useful in these tight spots. And that's what This has made it so widespread in Egypt. It's easy that's what This has made it so widespread in Egypt. It's easy to play with minimal money, from anywhere, and in any way.

[11:26] We need the cybercrime unit and the Ministry of Interior to tighten control over these websites. We need amendments to legislation and laws. And what's with all the money being deposited money being deposited at cash outlets, kiosks, or anywhere else, and then

[11:40] withdrawn? Isn't this money unregulated? No one knows what it was used for or what it was withdrawn for. Is this legal? Is this normal? And the most important thing, which is why I want to conclude with this, is how we can try to protect our children from games like these as much as

[11:56] possible. Because simply banning them isn't the solution. First, we need to abolish the concept of privacy. There's no privacy for children, people. This is absolutely forbidden. We can download an app on

[12:08] our children's phones and the same app on our own phones, and through it, we can monitor everything they do on their phones. And we can also control it. By the way, there's an phones. And we can also control it. By the way, there's an app called FamilySafe, which is short for

[12:21] FamilySafe, that can do this. I think we all need it. Oh God, I have delivered the message, oh God, bear witness. need it. Oh God, I have delivered the message, oh God, bear witness.
