    Its very valid. There may have been no official way to cash out but it was happening illegally, casinos being a huge part of it.

    Illegally being the key point. Sulake wasn't endorsing it and as long as they took measures to prevent it then surely they had nothing to worry about...

    It was rife though and this is a measure to prevent it. :S

    Of course, but they could have simply banned it in their rules and had moderators ban casino owners without introducing the dice limit. They would have been covering their backs without alienating a large part of their user base because if people were desperate to gamble they would have been able to do so, discretely, in private rooms. Although that would have obviously taken far more effort on Sulake's part so simply limiting the number of dice in a room was probably the more sensible option.

    Sorry, but you'll lucky to even get a reply...!
    Sulake made the decision based upon real life circumstances that affect people when gambling. The majority of users on Habbo are young teens therefore, aren't even of legal age to gamble in the first place; thus their decision. Good luck with this, if you carry it on.

    Just to update you all, I have recently opened a racecourse that lets players ride horses around a racetrack with obstacles and I take bets on who will win.

    I have recently appealed my trade-lock obtained for doing this activity stating that all the rules and written policies on this matter explicitly state the presence of a randomisation element is necessary to be breaking a rule and that this was based on "player skill" as they put it.

    This morning I was restored to normal and hence set a precedence for betting once again in the hotel.

    Sorry doubters we're back.

    I wonder if any Habbo staff will take this as a confession & ban you to end your pointless whining over gambling.

    Wow I'm just about done with some of the idiots on here like you Viba.

    I've proven that it's not Gambling over and over. If you want to use a word that doesn't make sense be my guest just proves you're idiotic.

    Secondly If you'd care to read my post at all it said that HABBO STAFF REMOVED MY TRADE-BLOCK and confirmed what I was doing was legal. I openly admitted to them I was taking Bets because ONLY taking bets on randomised outcome is illegal.

    Thirdly you can't get banned for taking bets only trade-locked as publicised by habbo's help section.

    So there's three points which proves you are either seriously dumb or just in denial over the truth.

    Please stop replying to my thread unless you're going to come up with some valid arguments.

    Okay, here's another "Invalid argument" for you.



    Every single one of the people above have commented here saying it IS illegal, or underage gambling, or something along those lines. And I only count one or two people saying it's not, so if this were a court case, I believe you'd have lost. Also, if I may point out:

    Habbo way:
    Place or accept bets

    Using furni that randomizes games with the possibility to place bets can get you into trouble. Show off your skills, don't leave it up to chance.
    You:

    So with that, please explain to me how what you are doing is "legal" and not gambling?? Your trade pass may have been given back to you, but I can guarantee it will probably be removed again straight away. You might think you are doing the right thing, but you're not. And I think I speak for everyone in the spoiler above when I say:

    Betting/Gambling is gone. Get over it!

    Is there no end to your stupidity. You're just in a mad rage because you're WRONG.

    LOOOL
    you think just because more people say something is right that means it is... you are a joke. I don't care how many people think themselves it is "Gambling" I've explained in about 5 posts previously how the definition is absolute YOU CANNOT CHANGE IT. I don't care how messed up your own opinion is, betting with virtual goods such as coins do not directly constitute as an object with financial worth THEREFORE IT IS NOT GAMBLING, THE END, YOU LOSE.

    Thank you for saving me the time and quoting the rule myself as I would have done, you're really shooting yourself in the foot. You said the following:

    "So with that, please explain to me how what you are doing is "legal" and not gambling??"

    Ok I will with the quote you provided.

    "
    Using furni that randomizes games with the possibility to place bets"

    As I've already explained but clearly you have not read correctly, my game is 100% non randomized. e.g. for someone as idiotic as you, doesn't involve any random elements. It is therefore considered player skill and LEGAL.

    LOOL do you not understand that because habbo have given the trade pass back they also agree with my arguement, well to be honest there's nothing to agree with. IT IS FACT. Only an idiot like you couldn't understand that.

    I speak for myself that if everyone in that spoiler shares the same view you do then they too are either honestly mistaken or just fools.

    OH AND BETTING IS BACK BECAUSE I FOUND A WAY TO BRING IT BACK, DEAL WITH IT.
