Habbox Casino?

[AgnesIO]

I do think its a good idea but i think it should only be run by HxStaff because anyone can scam & it will give habbox a bad name due to it being the Habbox casino...

you can give it a go though

It wouldn't shock me, and I know for a fact some do, that some staff would scam.

Remember, Hx Staff are volunteers not professionals

If someone wants to scam a throne, I doubt they will care they lost their volunteering job.

Not gonna lie I would only bet Dan and possibly Matt out of those four.

But many betters (like you did) will think "Official Fansite Staff.. OBVIOUSLY SAFE"

And bet away.

idk I agree with it but disagree

I'm sort of half and half on this one. Last month I was considering opening a smallish casino, nothing big scale but just something for a bit of fun and to try and attract some different people to Habbox. The only people that would be getting rights would be general management and at a push certain department managers.

Something like this would be extremely hard to moderate, and especially the way you mention selling rights to other people and allowing other people to deal could be very risky. Even people who appear to be 100% safe on Habbo could scam, and it just isn't worth it when it could seriously damage peoples perception of Habbox. We have enough trouble ensuring HxHD is presenting a good picture of our site and making visitors feel we are the place to be. - One bad incident in a casino and it can put a lot of people off forever. I simply do not want to take that risk.

Whilst in practice something like this would be a nice idea, I think overall casinos on Habbo have died down abit compared to what they were previously. I think something like this might die out after a while, and I'm not sure it would last too long. We've tried it with things like trade city's etc in the past and they just haven't worked due to the practicalities of it. It's getting people there, getting people to trust, and ensuring the nature of behaviour and discussion within an official Habbox room is in-keeping with our reputation.

As much as I love all the staff here, there are some I barely know, and this would be the case for many, just because they are Habbox staff it doesn't mean we can trust everyone 100%.

For the hardcore gamblers out there, we do have the Habbox Lottery running each month, and we hope to get this more successful in the upcoming months.


I think if we were to have a casino, (and I am still not 100% sure)- then there certainly wouldnt be rights being sold to anyone (I have enough trouble keeping up with rights in the helpdesk as it is), and it would be a low key thing for a bit of fun and to try attract a new kind of visitors. I don't mind us having a casino room set up and on the official list, but the dealers would be very restricted (probably with just Dan dealing, since I am poor and am not really into casinos and stuff anyway).

I may even do some kind of free casino at one point (like the free grabbers we have previously done) where we can get some games going for free with some prizes on offer.

Yes, I want there to be fun, exciting things on offer for the community- but things like this really need to be thought about clearly and looked at from all angles before just plunging into things- they can offen cause more hassle than good I think.
