The answer

It is not permissible to deposit money in interest-based banks except in cases of extreme necessity, provided no interest is taken. The prizes offered by interest-based banks are not a trick to make the unlawful lawful; rather, they are the very essence of usurious interest, combining usury (riba) and gambling (maysir). Whoever takes anything from them must dispose of it by spending it on charitable causes.
