Casinos BANNED!

[Richie]

All casino have just been closed / are being closed.

Not sure if this is the correct section but yeah.



Discuss.

[Lamz]

OUCH!

lmao, feel so sorry for all the casino owners/dealers that would make like 200+c a day!

[Chris]

Banning casinos? 0_o What on earth for?

[MKR&*42]

Aren't casinos banned on quite a few foreign hotels? And I'm sure they were banned on .sg before the merge (Correct me if I'm wrong).

Meh, not too fussed. I find it insane how much some people gamble so I do feel kinda sorry for them if that was their main source of "virtual profit" - but as I said, not affecting me much.

--

But yes, I would like some decent explanation due to casinos being allowed for 11 years now...

[Richie]

Banning casinos? 0_o What on earth for?

I'm not sure what the full story is but I'm sure there will be an announcement. If you look on habbo loadsa casinos are locked / being closed. Think the mods are doing a :pickall and deleting the rooms.


Fierycold got banned. They changed his room name to inapro to hotel management.

[Kellie]

They just banned Fierycold apparently, search his name on habbo too and look at the room name.

[e5]

Habbo used to be all about gambling! But I guess they figured gambling is for 18+ so can't provide that for us here? :/ Ridiculous though! What we gonna do now?!?

[Aaron]

Interesting, unlucky for all those who own one and make a nice bit of profit from it.

I've no interest in casinos, might be a change to get rid of them! :P

[beth]

good move, people gamble and don't understand what they're doing cause they're like 12.

[Zuth]

I think if mods pick all it's a little harsh...

[GoldenMerc]

what a poor move...

[Richie]

Yeah betting should be allowed but lets be honest if it's removed habbo has come to a standstill. Over half the people playing using the casinos.

[GoldenMerc]

http://www.habbo.com/room/53754614
they've left loads of big casinos, only took fierycolds away as far as i can see?

[Richie]

http://www.habbo.com/room/53754614
they've left loads of big casinos, only took fierycolds away as far as i can see?

nope man they're going through rooms one by one i believe


naughty just got banned
caroleen just got banned

[Inseriousity.]

lolol I don't use them so not too fussed but if they lose the furni inside them, that's harsh.

[Jordan]

I actually agree with them sorting this out to be honest. I know it is a massive part of Habbo now but it's really stupid gambling. I'm sure there will be some massive issue with it now though.

[GoldenMerc]

pretty happy i shut my casino a few months back haha

[Richie]

we'll have portable casinos :P

naughtys motto got removed cos it had casino in it lol 'inapro to hotel management'


http://image.cublix.com/b99e5841.png

[MKR&*42]

Removed FieryCold's, Naughty, Tamanoir and ShinnyyRayz as far as I can see :P

Also, a tweet Paul LaFo sent 8 hours ago;

"We don't condone gambling and we observe local law wrt how gambling is defined, which is quite strict on the topic. Thanks"

[Zelda]

Worried just logging on now, hopes they are Doing mainstream first :p

[Mathew]

lol, just when things were starting to look hopeful for Habbo, they go and ruin it all by taking away one of the oldest types of rooms on the game. I've just pickalled my casino, and I was actually thinking of taking some bets tonight because my VIP runs out in 5 days! Now how am I supposed to get coins.. :rolleyes:!!

[beth]

Mathew you kinda just pointed out as a corporation why casinos are bad for habbo, i can't make any coins for vip now with my casino what do i do........ well you could buy them. hapz sulake.

[Richie]

Removed FieryCold's, Naughty, Tamanoir and ShinnyyRayz as far as I can see :P

Some nice info there +rep


Shame things are gonna go down the ****ter


think they should reopen casinos, make them buy a casino licence +*+*+*

[Red]

Wow. This is ridiculous! Although I hate betting and it annoys me when I see my friends lose all their furni because they are so reckless... but seriously! This is what loads of people do on habbo and taking away these will clause many people to quit :S Also how can they justify banning people for this? It was never against the rules!

[hooch]

We'll start getting underground casinos.. haha.

[Mathew]

Removed FieryCold's, Naughty, Tamanoir and ShinnyyRayz as far as I can see :P

After I sang his praises the other day, he's not looking so amazing at the moment.


@Mathew (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=31230) you kinda just pointed out as a corporation why casinos are bad for habbo, i can't make any coins for vip now with my casino what do i do........ well you could buy them. hapz sulake.
I'd rather be non-VIP than pay real cash for them. You could argue that casino owners are the ones who buy the most credits too, so it's not really helping them. Either way, it's something that keeps people on Habbo for long periods of time and I think Habbo will eventually turn a blind eye to this in the future. They'll realise a significant drop in activity if they keep it up, imo.

[Richie]

Yeah I agree. The rooms have always been part of the hotel.

Ah Kirst they probs made Katharine a Mod.

[Kasabian]

Casinos have been around almost since the beginning of Habbo. Are they slowly trying to force everyone out?

[SackRace]

shinyyrayz is banned *REMOVED*

Edited by Martin (Forum Moderator): Please do not be rude to others!

[hooch]

I've just heard the Dice themselves are going to be removed, so there can't be a re-emergence? Just a rumour like.. but food for thought :)

[Ellz]

what!? i think its stupid to :pickall!

[Mathew]

I've just heard the Dice themselves are going to be removed, so there can't be a re-emergence? Just a rumour like.. but food for thought :)
Highly doubt that's true, unless of course they want to completely mess up Habbo games and everything... :P!


what!? i think its stupid to :pickall!
I agree. Casinos are usually some of the best designed rooms on Habbo and it's completely disrespectful to just pickall them. So much for acting in the best interest of the community, Paul.

[kitten]

shinyyrayz's casino is still there, i'm sitting in it right now they just changed the name, however she is perm banned

[Ellz]

Highly doubt that's true, unless of course they want to completely mess up Habbo games and everything... :P!

Ikr, okay ban them but to take the furni away that people have payed for and earned is just disrespectful and unfair!

[beth]

i think it's funny hahaha, but that's probably because i'm very cynical of people who take the game very seriously. dice removed? i am dying. as if they'd do that though.

[Stephen]

people are saying that casinos have always been a big part of habbo and imo that's the problem. Habbo isn't a game for kids to learn how to gamble

plus isn't it illegal in singapore

maybe they got complaints

[MKR&*42]

I asked Paul LaFo this on Twitter;

"Why are all casinos being closed/removed + their owners being banned from Habbo?"

Received this response;

"You statement is not factually correct so I can't respond."

Even more confusion... yay.

---

And another message I sent;

"Well so far 5 casino owners have apparently been banned from .com + this message has appeared in some casinos http://goo.gl/MrflE (http://t.co/HFkMf2Kx)"

The reply;

"ok thx".

He also just informed BubbleJuice that he is "checking on what is going on".

[kitten]

apparently they're banning anyone who's sitting in a room called 'casino' LOL

[Red]

I always wondered when we merged what would happen to casinos because of it being banned in the singapore hotel. Haven't liked any of Paul's decisions really so far with fan sites and habbo cms but this tops the cake and confirms for me that he doesn't have a clue. Things are only going to go downhill.

@PaulLaFo (https://twitter.com/PaulLaFo) @genevejodes (https://twitter.com/genevejodes) Why is the act allowed to happen in the game though? Gambling should be completely removed from Habbo.




and 8 hours later this happens!

[dbgtz]

It wouldn't shock me if an "error" meant trading became "unstable" for a month or so within the next 6 months, with it then slowly being "pushed back" behind the market some more with trading features being limited due to "errors" with flash.

[Tom]

Well, I'm more for this than against. The reason is I think why should Habbo teach little children to gamble?

Oh dear, ah well - never liked him that much. But he was kinda permed unfairly to be honest, they never even asked these people to remove their casino first - just an instant ban :S

[Stephen]

lol wonder how many casino owners are crying irl

[j0rd]

RIP casino owners + their rares
Kind of stupid, silly move of Habbo's!

[MKR&*42]

lol wonder how many casino owners are crying irl

Knowing how fussy some people are over rares, I can imagine a few are.

Another tweet from Paul LaFo:


"Several posts about banned accounts on .com. We are not taking any unilateral action and wouldn't without telling you. Standy."

[Kyle]

Wouldve been better to give some fair warning before doing this. Are all those banned from the same country? big paul mentioned local law so it wouldn't make sense to be banning those where the law doesn't exist

[Halas]

It's all Geneve's fault
http://screensnapr.com/e/Pcm9g8.png

[Mathew]

Ikr, okay ban them but to take the furni away that people have payed for and earned is just disrespectful and unfair!
I disagree with banning them though. Casinos are quite simply the norm on Habbo and it's terrible customer service to remove people in that way without prior warning.

Habbo aren't teaching children to gamble. The people on Habbo are. It's a game where people are free to manipulate the furniture in whatever way they like. Why is everyone getting the moral handbook out? Where have you been for the past decade? :P!

http://i.imgur.com/qtcaF.png

i don't think this is the real fierycold due to the fact he said 'fieryschool' is banned when infact the account is called fierycoldschool :S doesn't know his own accs or what?

[Mathew]

probs a popularity stunt.

[Zelda]

First point to make, they've said this a million times never happened. Now to say what's actually happening, they are banning people who use bm and sell/buy for £££. Moe, Tam, Naughty, all of them sold, and they get 3 hour bans, Naughty is already back and her cino weren't even picked up like moes. They got banned out of their own stupidity. To think that habbo dont know of the major cinos would be stupid, they'd know about beth and jake, and les [multigenic] and ban them if they were really banning cinos, + would also give warnings first if they really were , so it's utter rubbish.

Also in return to habbo not knowing about bm, as tan rightly puts it, "Habbo staff very well know about bm and half of them use it to sell their own stuff, and it's likely owned by habbo staff". Not saying this is true bt the point is, the first point is, "habbo staff do know of bm". It's not as if they don't notice massive amounts passing through by members of the "bobba meerkat" group, and doesn't take much working out to decode that after so long does it ... + even though they use clones as jess has put it, "you can still track the ip's of them".

This is just a creation of people to spread fear, they are not banning cinos, and to the point of Paul La fo's tweet, they would have posted something on habbo about it instead of just on twitter considering most players probably don't even have twitter?

Feel free to disagree but it's blindingly obvious tbh.

Thread merged by Zuth (Forum Moderator): As its on the same topic!

[Richie]

I reckon they originally enforced the ban of casinos, then realized it was a mistake and are now going to pass it as a understanding / error.

[Jazz]

cant help but laugh at the reaction of these big cheese casino owners like fierycold saying they are ringing their lawyers to sue sulake. Im annoyed that casinos are being targetted tho i love casinos :-(

[Tom]

Habbo aren't teaching children to gamble. The people on Habbo are. It's a game where people are free to manipulate the furniture in whatever way they like. Why is everyone getting the moral handbook out? Where have you been for the past decade? :P!

Yes, I know - but where have Habbo been in terms of updating in the past decade? Yes, the people on Habbo are the one's gambling but it's up to Habbo to stop that, if they wish to they can. Obviously, we're still free to trade furniture in whatever way we like - it's not really restricting, just removing one option which involves scamming etc.

[e5]

Paul LaFontaine ‏ paullaFo
Its is, we're reversing it. It will be restored. thx

Tweet from paul saying he is now reversing what has just happened with the casinos.

And also:


Paul LaFontaine ‏ paullaFo
you by regs don't have a casino. It is skill based gaming room because real money does not leave the service. let me know when ok

[MKR&*42]

I expect most people jumped to the conclusion because of this message Pipette;

http://oi39.tinypic.com/afgbcy.jpg

If it was a person's voice vs a mod message - people would have chosen the mod message. But everything you've said up there is most likely true :L

I'd still love to know which staff member was responsible for that message though.. caused quite a bit of havoc.

Paul La Fo has admitted casinos were closed wrongly...

Interesting thing to watch. Someone took the pleasure of impersonating FieryCold only to have him come on his School account now making FieryCold-Banned irrelevant. He says it's being looked into (which everyone else has already said) So I'm sure it's only a matter of time until things are back to normal.

[Stephen]

so apparently calling them casinos is against the rules now?

[GoldenMerc]

Meh, I suppose it's an easy mistake to make if they live a country where online gambling is somehow restricted. If not.. meh.

@btwboy (http://twitter.com/btwboy) and other asked about casinos & gambling. We need to clarify a few points.

First and foremost Habbo does not endorse nor support gambling. Each country defines gambling a little differently, and we follow the laws of the country where the Hotel operates.

In most countries gambling is defined as a random method through which you can make money. That means online gambling occurs when you put money in, you play a game based on randomness and you can "cash in" your virtual currency. We don't allow you to cash in on Habbo goods. And we are very strict about that for that precise reason.

In some countries gambling is defined differently, and that is why some Hotels don't allow rooms that even look like places where gambling occurs.

In all cases we will follow the law. Today on .com we had some new moderators apply one regions rules to another region. We have reversed these moves and hope to have everyone returned to where they started. Apologies for any inconvenience.



Paul just tweeted

[geo]

People buy their Habbo credits and I think they should be entitled to bet with them if that's what they wish to do. If they were going to get rid of the casinos, they should have warned those that are online and just pickalled the ones where the owners weren't online. Unfair move if you ask me! If they remove the rooms, does that mean the furni is removed as well or is it just the furni is placed back into the hand? If it has been removed forever, then that's pathetic and really unfair.

[Stephen]

"@FieryColdHabbo (https://twitter.com/#!/FieryColdHabbo) Ok. the label "casino" is really problematic as I'd like for you and your peers to work with us on renaming them. thx"

k now pissing off i dont even give a **** about habbo why am i even in this thread

[geo]

Just read through some of the thread I missed out; to those that are saying casinos are a bad influence - aren't dating rooms?! 'I'm 11 and I'm going to pick up about 7 e-boyfriends and at least one of them will say "come on cam bbz u sxc *REMOVED* XD".' Pretty sure that's just as bad.

It's so pathetic and unfair, I can't believe they did it!

Not banned - should be fine calling it a casino but there were some Tweets about possibly changing to a different name.

But yeah, it's fine to own a casino. New mods simply got mixed up with gambling laws in different countries :P

It should do - Paul did state they were trying to restore rooms and individuals "stuff".

................LMFAO. brilliant.

[Zak]

They'll just call it something else or find another way to gamble I'm sure. They'll never fully remove it.

Stupid as though, the poor casino sellers. They'd be making a good profit selling those gbs and rares too.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I have never gambled on Habbo but what an utterly ridiculous move.


good move, people gamble and don't understand what they're doing cause they're like 12.

Don't gamble then.


I actually agree with them sorting this out to be honest. I know it is a massive part of Habbo now but it's really stupid gambling. I'm sure there will be some massive issue with it now though.

[Zuth]

LOL, many people is gonna rage about this

Why when it was a mistake?

[jasey]

It isn't as unfair as it seems because we all know the sites where the majority of rich casino owners get their furniture from. Still, there are a few legit ones and it was sad that they had to go through this! I am glad order is being restored. I wish they would step up in regards to the customer service and moderation standards.

[GirlNextDoor15]

Don't gamble then..

Adults can restrain themselves from gambling but kids can't. They don't understand a thing about gambling and it will just spoil the children. I agree that it's stupid to ban casinos. It will benefit the kids but aren't casinos giving Habbo some profit? Unless there are parents who have complained about the casinos on Habbo.

[Mathew]

I don't think "kids" are as stupid as people in the thread make out to be. They know exactly what they're doing and most "rich casino owners" are probably 18+ anyway. Even if they didn't have the slightest clue what gambling was, they'd soon find out when they realise half their Habbo furniture had been lost. They'd soon stop too! :P

[Sloths]

Wow they seriously can't get rid of dice... events and games would die and they'd be like even less than there is now to do on habbo....

[Hyru]

My friend and I started our casino from scratch and we were just about to upsize. We were so excited. :\
I really hope they reverse everything.. we put so much work into our casino. *crosses fingers*

[:.justben.:]

Remove dice habbo will have about 2 players and retros will have all the players :)

[Breeze]

The newer moderators were trained on a foreign hotel where gambling is illegal/underground. It's a mistake and will be fixed soon, don't fret.

Love how Paul replied to someone metioning a particular market site and it was on view for everyone to see! Good advertising for them ;)

[Eric]

Who is this FieryCold guy? Why is he so popular in Habbo? Cba to read all the posts, so did they ban casinos or not? I don't go to casinos much but i think it's wrong to teach kids to gamble. We don't have casinos in Habbo SG/MY/PH before the merge, it's illegal.

Sulake have some new moderators and a number of Casino rooms got closed and the accounts were also banned I believe. This was due to them being new and applying a region rule to another region.


In all cases we will follow the law. Today on .com we had some new moderators apply one regions rules to another region. We have reversed these moves and hope to have everyone returned to where they started. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I don't even know how :S - he was popular in the US and when we merged, hey presto he became "more popular". I don't really care about these supposed "e-famous" people though.

Actually, he might have owned a trade city to get popular - I'M NOT SURE though.

[GoldenMerc]

FieryCold is by far the most popular Habbo, Don't have a clue how but he does have a lot of rooms constantly popular.

[Lee]

Habbo used to be all about gambling! But I guess they figured gambling is for 18+ so can't provide that for us here? :/ Ridiculous though! What we gonna do now?!?

I agree, its illegal in the UK for under 18s to gamble so fair enough I guess!

[GoldenMerc]

I agree, its illegal in the UK for under 18s to gamble so fair enough I guess!

Its not gambling though, they pay to play (Correct) but technically they don't win any physical goods, which makes it fine. If they could cash out in the end to get real money, then it would be classed as illegal

[Red]

They shouldn't be hiring clueless moderators from singapore and then :l

[Bext]

TBH, Im all for casinos being banned, 99% of owners scam anyway and there are other ways to make your habbo 'fortune'. Also most casinos are ugly mismatched stackathons. For the record I also hate dating rooms as theyre just wrong on so many levels. Casinos are one of the oldest types of rooms on habbo but even back then they werent that important to a lot of people and still are not now.


Although the decision has been reversed I hope they are banned/regulated better in the future.

[e5]

After posting that I discovered that they don't class it as gambling since now money leaves the server legally.

Hmm interesting, but if you change the name to Super Rare 'Arcade' instead of Super Rare Casino you can't get banned even though its still gambling.

Really interesting tbh.

we won't get banned now as it was an error anyway - thats how it should be anyway.
