Answer

Allah Taála orders us in the Quran - And do not assist in sin (Surah Maaidah). Gambling is expressly prohibited in the Quran. To offer a security service to the gambling organisation will be assisting in sin. It is therefore not permissible for you to offer the gambling organisation the services of your security company.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
