What is the ruling on dealing with the Algerian "Marchip" network marketing company, which offers legitimate services and job opportunities to customers, with commissions and gifts contingent upon bringing in new subscribers, in exchange for an annual subscription?

It is not permissible to participate in the aforementioned marketing system because it makes the transaction closer to gambling, as the participant pays annual fees hoping for commissions that he may or may not obtain. This system is not merely brokerage, for the marketer pays a fee to be a marketer, and the goal is to attract new marketers to increase subscriptions. This system often relies on the loss of the lowest tiers of members to enable the upper tiers to achieve exorbitant commissions, and it is also based on deception and selling illusions, as the participant enters to gamble on commissions, not for the product.
