I'm a little confused about the legal status of Sploders! I thought they were illegal, yet shops are openly selling them and clubs actively using them. So what is the legality of them?

From: Oryx Tempel Not legal. Ever. They are if the people there do not pay in. There are setting for this. The host can put in L$ to be paid out to anyone in the area who clicks the Sploder. ~Jessy

I've noticed now though that they are called "legal sploders" or poppers. Most of them, you pay in and you either get back what you paid or a bit more. I believe the owner always has to put $L in.
However, I've run into a few clubs still using the old sploders. Those you pay $10L and only get back $2L

I personally loved sploders. Totally addicting and I lost money, yeah, but I would play the sploder and watch people chat at parties. It was something to do other than just stand there.

I believe many ppl loved sploders. Looks better than a sim dedicated to having casino games, lag, and camping zombies.

I honestly don't think Linden Lab cares anymore. I am seeing traditional sploders pop up again in the past months. Basically if it is not a simulation of traditional real life gambling like black jack, craps, roulette and traditional slot machines Linden Lab does not care. I suppose if the place got AR'ed to death a Linden might show up but given that most of them do not even have a clue how to apply the anti-wagering policy it's as likely as not that they wont do anything anyway and that cluelessness seems to go right up the food chain to the top.
