i doubt habbo will notice, just make sure that the staff advertising it say it very specific. long as you don't get people advertising 1c for lottery entries it shouldn't be an issue.

sulake definitely will notice since they read these forums :P

I think we need to do something like this also! It will bring funding and is good fun!

Habbo staff are like the illuminati, you don't see them - but they're watching. Could you maybe change it from lottery to something else. Anything remotely related to lottery is gambling. :/ good luck with this idea.

And we still need more funding? @Wispur; here is your solution.

I think everyone is fully aware of what Jin has in his rooms, and if he chooses to allow General Management to use that then great, but it's not the same as a lottery type funding.

With the lottery it was like a never ending circle. The credits used to purchase tickets went to the managers, who put it into their departments, which then goes back to the users who start the circle again.

Users buying tickets > Funds Competitions prizes going back to users > Users buying tickets etc etc.

With Jin's furni we'd just end up giving it all away. It would make more sense, if he allowed us to use his stuff in the first place, to use those items for room building and attracting more members whilst a lottery scheme or similar is what funds prizes.

We have decided to go ahead with the idea and bring the lottery back using the same format as before. We will of course put the donations twist on it so we can bypass restrictions.

start selling VIP again, and so the same.

Quite true, a lot of IP addresses come from Sulake browsing this forum on a regular basis.

should be interesting to see where this goes. If habbox gets it's official status stripped because of this, it'll be sad.

I'm quite worried about Habbox's status as an Official Fansite. Sulake hasn't been known for its understanding and I'm concerned that they will notice what we're doing, ignore any explanations we might have and just take away the Official Fansite status without another word.

Has anyone looked into how other forums keep the money rolling around?

This is what I have been thinking. They must have other means of getting it.
