The answer

If you rent something to someone who gambles with it, this is considered aiding in prohibited gambling, which is one of the gravest prohibitions, due to Allah’s saying: (O you who have believed, indeed intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing to] stone altars, and divining arrows are defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it). However, if you rent it to someone who plays with it without gambling, there is no harm, unless you know that it distracts from prayer and the remembrance of Allah, or that the renter does not adhere to the rules of play.
