Playing Ludu permissable or not in Islam?

It should be noted that the Shari'ah has encouraged sports that have physical benefits, such as swimming, archery, equestrianism, and discouraging sports that involve wasting time, and such sports are illegal. Given that it is necessary to commit sins or those games are games of immorality, such as chess, etc.
Even if there is no stipulation in the game of wrestling or no other sin has been committed, it is usually to such an extent that negligence in prayers and other matters is neglected, and valuable time is wasted in this pointless game. Also, due to indulgence in such sports, the heart and mind are often focused on these things and are oblivious to the remembrance of God. Time should be spent on purposeful activities that have religious and worldly or at least worldly benefits, so much pointless and pointless games should be avoided at all costs.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said in a hadith:
"The virtue of man's Islam is that he gives up that which is useless." [Malik, Ahmad]
In another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"... Remember! What a man takes as blood and play (ie, mere play and entertainment) is false and unlawful, except to shoot with his bow, to fix his horse, and to play and have fun with his wife." To do, all these things are the truth. ”[Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah] Only Allah knows best.
Ludu is a useless game therefore it is prohibited due to the wastage of time, but not haram.However, it is haram to play by betting.
