Ruling by Justice Dept. Opens a Door on Online Gambling

I forgot to add, Since I left SL I wrote my own browser based casino, the Lindens can't take that away :-)

Have you got the relevant licences from the Gambling Commission (your reference to £1000's above suggests you're a Brit)?

whats really odd about this article is that that they seem to be saying that the laws only prohibit wagering on a sporting event/contest

poker (and blackjack if not autoshuffle after each hand) is determined to be a contest. like has an element of skill in it

can be argued that mechanical games like roulette and slots are lotteries bc they are games of pure chance and are maybe legal?

if so then sploders and lucky whatevers are legal and games like we got now in SL that have some kinda skill element are illegal?

dont think that was the intent of the lawmakers but seems like that maybe this could be the result
