ChiBunni 0 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Can anyone tell me why I can't get into gaming sims? I have payment info on file, I'm in my 20's, and my state is not on the no go list. Any ideas? Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 27,007 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 If you Internet Service Provider is in a state that does not allow on-line gaming, then it's the same as if you lived there yourself. Connecting to SL with an ISP in a different state puts you in a mess of legal jurisdictions. Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not. I mean, the fact that you can appear to be in an embargoed state by virtue of using a ISP in one seems to imply that you can do the reverse. If a VPN lets you skirt the laws in your own state, though, then you are clearly doing something illegal. If the authorities catch you, they won't be happy. I don't sympathize much either.

Yes, though you would still be breaking your state's laws and could therefore be charged if found out. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Lindal Kidd 18,063 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 To be clear, I'm not advocating getting around your state's laws. I was thinking of this in cases where you reside in a state that's not on the banned list, but your ISP's location gets you on the list anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rolig Loon 27,007 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Also, to be clear, I didn't think that you were suggesting that the OP should break the law either. I wanted to be sure that he understood that he shouldn't take your question that way. Link to post Share on other sites

0 Lindal Kidd 18,063 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 As far as I know, there are no "gaming sims that have no gambling". Gaming regions cost a lot more than regular regions, and owners recoup those costs from gaming profits. Nor can you open a new gaming region; LL is not selling them at the present.
