Casinos

[jorsian]

If underage gambling ever mattered to Sulake before they would have cracked down on this right back when it first started appearing on the hotel. The new app for iPad obviously spurred on this change. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered. It's in the same category as muting the hotel only after Channel 4 exposed the underbelly of the dating floor. They only care when it's convenient for them to care. This is how most corporations work.

I can imagine gambling would have been removed if Channel 4 had cottoned on to that too. It was a necessary change in all honesty.. casinos were amazing but Habbo needs to move on. To be honest I wish another company would come take Habbo's place that cared a bit more..

Well then, you're an idiot...

Habbo haven't acted upon user feedback for ages now, or ever cared about people been scammed, it clearly stated that if you got scammed, it was your own fault, not Habbo's.

Apple would not approve the app for any audience once they realised that gambling was around. It's the same principal why 13 year olds like you can't download apps like William Hill or Sky Bet.

Sometimes to expand, you need to make changes

oh no u didnt!!!
*REMOVED* That is the most stupid point i have ever heard. Its not apples job to check for gambling on habbo. AND HABBO IS NOT A KIDS GAME. ITS A TEEN GAME. Page 3 section 4 Apples terms and conditions it says anyone over the age of 13 or older has permissions to take part in gambling apps.
So you, once again, have made a stupid point, like all of your posts are.

again, you're an idiot, learn to read:

When did I say they would check? I said once they realised: e.g. through user comments or complaints.

Also, you can't gamble at 13, don't get you hopes up.

As a general rule, the minimum legal age for gambling is 18 years old. This applies to adult gaming centres, betting shops, bingo halls, casinos, racetracks and online gambling. The exceptions to this are the National Lottery and scratchcards – you’re allowed to take part in these from the age of 16.

So get off your high horse and go to bed.

"The new section detailing apps for children under aged 13 specifies that such apps must include a privacy policy, may not include behavioral advertising (ads based on in-app activity, for example), and must ask for parental permission before allowing children to "link out of the app or engage in commerce"

Basically yeh you can have gambling apps at 13, but not ones that you have to put money into

e.g. buying credits.

"These new rules prevent developers from collecting information from children under the age of 13" - e.g. entering personal data such as card details or contact numbers to purchase credits

"20.5 Apps that offer real money gaming (e.g. sports betting, poker, casino games, horse racing) must have necessary licensing and permissions in the locations where the App is used, must be restricted to those locations, and must be free on the App Store" - Meaning that for real money gambling you must have a license and in the license agreement for businesses putting out real money gambling act, it states:

"Users of the application MUST be ages 18 or over, strict verification and security measures must be used to ensure that this is the case at all times"


so once again, please, just shut up until you get an education.

thanks for your -rep by the way xo

Hardly an idiot when he was stating his opinion. Yeah his posts might not be what everyone would like, but he doesn't agree with something, so what? You may have a different opinion than him and that's fine, but flaming someone for it is a bit far.

I don't think Habbo needed to branch out to the Apple platform as such - why not just tell players how to get on it via mobile devices? At least that way they wouldn't have been more obliged to put the gambling ban in place. I agree nor disagree and can see it from both sides, but they wanted to become a gaming platform, and that failed so much with the removal of the Games Center, and now they've taken away so many games from years ago. I'm not too fussed on it, but it's shown a real decline in some much loved rares.

I know what you're saying but in the way Habbo offer it, I doubt VERY much that it is legal.

Considering I was giving facts and sam said it was an opinion.

You're basically saying Apple can change the law, to that, you're an idiot.
