Forget everything you thought you knew about sports predictions! A brand-new app is changing the game for football fanatics in the UAE, letting them into the excitement of predicting match results without touching a single dirham. Meet Hajem Sports, the ingenious creation that’s bringing the thrill of the win to a whole new, ‘halal’ level.
The Spirit of Victory, Without the Wager
In a region where gambling is a no-go due to Islamic principles, Hajem Sports steps onto the field as a true innovator. This isn’t about betting money; it’s about pure, unadulterated passion for the beautiful game! Users compete for points, not payouts, transforming predictions into a test of skill, knowledge, and bragging rights among friends.
The brainchild behind this brilliant concept is Zaid Abu Soud, a former mixed martial arts (MMA) organizer who understood a fundamental human desire: the rush of being right. “It’s about the feeling – the high of winning without the financial interaction associated with it,” Zaid explained to The National. He’s tapped into that universal joy of correctly calling a game, making it accessible and permissible for everyone.
All the Excitement, None of the Sin
Hajem Sports mirrors the engaging format of traditional betting apps but cleverly removes the monetary stakes. It’s a game of wits, where your reputation and football knowledge are on the line. As Zaid puts it, users are “betting” with their knowledge, eager to prove they’re the smartest fan in the room.
So, how does this clever app keep the lights on? Hajem Sports earns its revenue through the sale of ‘digital trinkets,’ like cool skins for user avatars. It’s a win-win: users get to customize their experience, and the app continues to provide a thrilling, guilt-free platform for sports enthusiasts.
