In some countries there is a law that prohibits online gambling. Online gambling in the US is described as any game That involves monetary involvement in which the end result is based on chance. The gambling in SL is of the worse type because it is not regulated. Any scripter can configure a timed payout or even limit the payoff to $0.00. I see all the time in the police blotter where someone is warned or suspended for copy right violation but see nothing about the gambling situation.
Why does SL allow such unregulated games to exist? They contribute heavily to the lag problem, they are totally unregulated, and they are illigal.
