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.
