The answer

It is not permissible to participate or work in the aforementioned system, as it falls under prohibited gambling. The participant's payment of a sum to obtain profit and rewards may lead to gain or loss. Furthermore, attracting customers to the company for an unknown commission or a percentage taken by the first participant is a form of devouring people's wealth unjustly. Therefore, it is not permissible to participate in this system.
