Working innocent jobs in the proximity of doubtful jobs : reading emails and get paid for it

Fatawa Question

Assalamu'alaikum, I have join a 'get-paid-to-read-e-mail' at zwallet.com by opening an e-mail account with them. Advertiser pays money to zwallet.com. And zwallet.com in turns pay the people who read e-mail with their e-mail service. Some of advertisers are companies which deal with Haram business, such as online-gambling. However, thus far, from my observation I can see that majority of advertiser are Halal-based. Minority of them are however Haram-based, especially online gambling. Thus, is the money Zwallet.com pays to me Halal ? Or Haram ? Thank you. Wassalam.
