This study examines the legal protection for recipients of live donations in Mobile Legends streaming. The research is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of online gambling sites donating to streamers. Donations were originally intended as gifts from viewers to appreciate and support streamers. However, they have now become a promotional tool for online gambling platforms. For example, a Mobile Legends streamer using the YouTube account Oura Gaming reportedly received as much as 10 million rupiahs from an online gambling site. This raises concerns regarding the legal implications of accepting such donations. This research aims to analyze the practice of live donations in Mobile Legends streaming, determine whether donation recipients have legal protection after receiving donations from online gambling sites, and to examine the legality of accepting donations from gambling sites in both Islamic law and Indonesian positive law. This research employs a qualitative approach using a normative juridical analysis. The findings show Mobile Legends streamers receiving donations from online gambling sites are not legally liable, because these donations are given voluntarily without prior agreements. However, from an Islamic legal perspective, receiving money from a gambling site is not permitted. In contrast, Indonesian positive law does not classify such donations as illegal, because there is no formal collaboration between streamers and gambling agents.
