    Default Bring Casino's Back Petition

    Hi Guys,

    I'm writing this post today as I don't think enough was done or for long enough by habbo users to attempt to undo the dice limitation ban put into place and for me it has regrettably ruined what was a great habbo experience for many long years.

    So I have set up a facebook page located at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-Back-Habbo-Casinos/309840855851538

    Which I hope I can get enough likes on to build up an audience and eventually through whatever legal means necessary force habbo's hands into allowing dice-related games to continue.

    If we manage to achieve this aim I plan to keep the page functional as a sort of user "trade union" so to speak.

    I would appreciate if you could help by sharing and liking the page.

    Hopefully we can get enough support to make a change!

    Regards,
    Ben.

    It's not going to happen:

    a) Sulake hold all the cards
    b) It's a legal issue

    Sulake never made casinos change their names to arcades.

    There were new mods who thought casinos were against the habbo way and started banning people with them. Due to this, people got scared and started changing casino names to arcades, but there was no reason to--it was a mistake and people who were banned were eventually unbanned.

    Very recently they've put a two functioning dice limit and banned casinos due to, very likely, the new habbo app for phones. If they were still there, they'd have to make the apps 18+.

    Firstly the primary and as far as I'm concerned ONLY reason habbo closed casino's (also been told by staff) was because of credit card fraud, an issue which had been going on for a long time and was dealt with for a long time. I'm not a legal expert but I imagine little legal responsibility could be attributed to them with all the right disclaimers in place and therefore I assume it was the attributing dedication of resources in proportion to what casinos brought back to the game (e.g. profits for sulake).

    There is very little legal precedence to suggest that casinos or any dice-related game on habbo for that matter can be called legally as "gambling". I point you in the direction of Puzzle Pirates which has an even younger demographic, is on the app store and features many casino based games such as poker etc.

    The whole "The ban was because of the migration to the app store and apple devices" I assure you is just urban myth.

    Your point a) is more accurate which is why I wanted to create this page as it is external and habbo wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

    I believe that if I got a big enough audience then through means of negative publicity, we could convince habbo it was in their best interest to reverse the dice-ban.

    By negative publicity I mean things like:

    - Further exposing of the channel 4 investigation
    - Writing to current and potential shareholders
    - Exposing potentially illegal ad-placements and suspending an important source of revenue
    - Convincing users not to buy credits over a duration

    etc.

    There's very little reason for them taking unnecessary risk.

    Normally yes, but legally the risk as far as I understand it is so small I don't even think it would have factored into the decision making process.

    Like I said the main reason is attributed to credit card fraud.
