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!

Do you think I have gambling problems if I only gamble for fun (and comps), not expect to win big, and spend within a specified budget?

Are claw machines outside of a gaming sim against ToS?
Spitewick posted a question in Everything Else
So, I saw a few claw machines in a store sim and the sign for them specifically said “play at your own risk”. That sort of phrasing suggests gambling, which is illegal on Second Life, if I recall correctly. The sign said it requires “some skill”. Not only that, but it also said that even if you manage to get a prize in the claw, it would sometimes “fall out”, in which you paid money and got nothing in return. So I’m curious of two things: 1. Is this described claw machine against TOS as a whole? 2. If not, is it against ToS to have these claw machines on a non-gaming-related sim? According to California law (the state that Second Life’s headquarters is based), claw machines are considered illegal: https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/gambling/ill_devices.pdf . -
Anyone know if raffle parties are in violation of the TOS? We hold weekly raffles for $100Ls an entry, the boards select the winner of the prize.

Video game loot boxes are now considered criminal gambling in Belgium EA, Activision, and Blizzard are now in trouble. "Belgian law considers four factors when deciding whether something constitutes gambling: there must be a game element, there is some form of betting, that betting can lead to profit or loss, and chance plays a role. " That probably covers gatchas.
