I know how sploders work and my original post was asking how they can stay in SL without being a game of skill as outlined in the TOS. In my combined years of being in SL I have never seen a sploder that you didn't put money into to receive some "lucky by chance" payout. I think you have misunderstood all my posts I was wondering how they can be all over the grid as a gambling device, as i know it's not a game of any skill, have many AR's and still be all over inworld and sold on MP even using the name "sploder" not a fancy name to lead you to believe it's a sploder.

Allisah Aviator Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The sploder you are referring to with the alt detector has had serious problems they caused to others and nothing was done about it. I can't understand that either. That is what I was referring to by AR'ing sploders for other reasons than gambling. Thank you for clarifying.

The DoJ just recent release that they agree. so they not going to enforce the law change that was sneaked through late in the night attached to a bill that had nothing to do with gambling at all DoJ say they are only going to enforce the federal law against sports betting bc that is actual spelled out in the US Criminal Code. and that's all + SL ToS is about conforming with RL laws. linden never had any moral position on this bc of the DoJ ruling then if California follow Nevada and New Jersey and make new State legislation that specific provide for online gambling then we will get casinos back in SL the Nevada and New Jersey states laws are about licensing. like have to get a license to run a gambling operation open to public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason LL banned gambling was because it had the potential to prevent the use of credit/debit card use to pay for SL because it would have put those financial institutes issuing the cards at legal risk., period.

And Thank You for your replies. is all good (: at end of day is upto linden to determine what they allow us to do in SL. they the ones who end up in trouble if is a federal crime. not us. well not me bc I am not a US citizen. so most for me is I get account ban. like i not end up in a US jail + like Kenbro said. is about the money. credit card companies and paypal will cut linden off if what linden allows puts them the cc and paypal people at risk of committing a crime + I think that with the latest from Nevada and New Jersey then will bring some sanity and trust to onine gambling. like licensed and regulated operators and that bc some of the sites that used to online were a bunch of thiefs and crooks. not all of them. but quite a few. was same SL in them olden days + will be good I think if casinos ever came back to SL bc they will have to have a RL casino license. like if we get ripped off then can make RL complaint to their State License Board. If not got any license then cant run any SL casino if so then never have to worry about the illegal operators and devices anymore. bc the RL legal casino licensees in SL be all over them and linden as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
