It's time to bring back the lottery

[FlyingJesus]

It's not gambling if you're simply getting a fixed reward for donating (a ticket and perhaps a mention in a thread somewhere) so there's nothing to fear status-wise. If it were "just do it as we used to and call it the official lottery" that might break the rule, but anyone's free to thank a patron as they wish

What about a VIP/Dontator usergroup & colour that can only be bought by credit donation?

We can't do that as it would detract from the real world money donations which is relied upon to help keep the sites running.

Fair enough. I will discuss it with Matt, Sho and Laura tomorrow.

lmfao at bringing back the lottery with current funds and giving them all away plus whatever is donated. kinda defeats the purpose of fundraising i would rather have no lottery

gambling rules are for ipad app age status and those who have used external gambling systems have been able to avoid the rules for some time now.

The free ticket idea sounds abs idiotic.

If it avoided Sulake taking action, then no it isn't really "abs idiotic".

[FlyingJesus]

It wouldn't make any difference to Sulake because the premise is exactly the same, it just has the addition of making sure that we give out more than we take in which obviously makes no sense at all. We're looking to make profits and you don't do that by using existing low stocks to fund a free giveaway

Because who is going to donate if they are getting a ticket free? not me. Your giving away rather than actually earning funds.
