Working in companies where main line is Haram : working for an on line Poker company

Fatawa Question

Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Dear scholar, I am a computer programmer by profession. I work in an online poker company in Europe. I do not play poker, or bet, and I am not directly involved in any of its operations (selling, marketing, etc.). I do write pieces of computer programs that eventually go into the poker product. The poker product enables people to play for real money or just fun money with no betting. I have looked in the city I live in for other jobs, but this was the only job that I could get. My question is, am I in sin working for such a company ? And most importantly, is the money I am earning Haram ? Jazaka Allahu Khairan
