The End of Habbox Lottery

[The Don]

Surely we could keep the lottery but just change the name. People 'donate' whatever the price of a ticket is and then habbox does a separate 'giveaway' which is decided by the dice.

Just host the lottery on forum with a random number generator?

Habbox rules state no breaking the Habbo Way, so would be contradictory to do so, and I'm sure someone would report.

This. Same as we should have done when they banned VIP sales and the same thing that events like school fairs and charity fundraisers do to get around gambling laws: you donate X amount and receive a ticket to a totally unrelated draw as a show of goodwill

The Habbox Lottery has been breaking the Habbo Way ever since it started without so much as a peep from Sulake or being reported. Not that I think it wouldn't now there's so much attention on the issue but let's not pretend it was fine before the 3-dice thing. As I had to keep pestering Jin for credits before I reintroduced it (previous attempts often made a loss) and never had to ask him again, for that alone, I was perfectly happy to do it. The reason the HxSS prize was so high last year was because of the lottery so if there's a way to keep it going I'd suggest you find it.

As for my dream number tickets (I should have quite a lot atm.. 1 NUMBER OFF GRR), if it does end up getting closed, you can have it as a donation instead.

It wasn't against the rules before? How so..

well fansite way to be more precise. something about monetary objective, sure it's ambigious enough to have a good defence but as they stopped fansites with VIP I doubt they'd have liked the lottery that much either.

I think Habbox could have 3 dices per room and roll them. (The person rolling the dices would roll 3 dices in one room, go into another room, roll those dices, etc.)

That would work but it would be against the Habbo Way and Habbo wouldn't be very happy if they found out an official fansite was breaking the habbo way so obviously

Habbox Lottery never broke the Habbo Way until today
