You can still gamble as long as the game you play requires skill like games such as Chess. _____________________

Yep, here is a breif list:
Don't gamble that making a cool avie will get you laid. Don't gamble on doing any building just before, during or after a update. Don't gamble on the future of this platform. Don't gamble your GC will last more than a year with this platform. Don't gamble your account will always remain open. Don't gamble that you can login or out. Oh dear, now I've run outta space............... _____________________

this ban is only a couple of weeks old. the gaming market hasnt retooled itself yet.
fyi, for whatever reason gamblers are looked down upon by many on this board, so you may want to strap on your helmet (and maybe wear a cup). Would you know where I can find such games? |

/me thinks the OP knows exactly what is going on and is trying to stir stuff up again. But then again, I am a cynical bastard.

Gambling wasn't banned from just SL, it has been banned from all US servers, and if you try to use your US CC or paypal you can't. That is what this is all about. Any site accessed from the US that has gambling, can not be charged to your card, or paypal. As in you wont be able to use your CC or paypal at it. So it is not just SL.
But if your only reason to come to SL is to gamble, perhaps you should join one of those over seas gambling sites. _____________________

If your sole reason for creating an account in SL is gambling, you are about a year too late... but hey, stay a while.. you might find the many many other things you can do here better...

if you REALLY want to gamble in SL, you can. if you go from place to place, you will find random stuff still in play. i see them around, and check to see if they ask you to "pay" and yup, they do.
