Cash Shop annoyance

[Hraesvelg]

I wonder if they're being regulated by California's Gaming Commission. From my understanding, the only lottery that is authorized to operate there is the official state one. Since it's on the internet, they'd be liable to comply with various other state regulations as well and that would enter into Federal territory. Hmm.

Edit: Yay for Google.

A lottery is a plan or scheme for disposing of a prize (money or something
of value) predominantly by chance to people who have paid something of
value for the opportunity of getting the prize.
Except for the state-run lottery, certain charitable bingo games, and
raffles conducted by certain private non-profit organizations, lotteries are
illegal in California.
A lottery is composed of three elements:
• A prize (for example, money, an automobile, a vacation, or the right to play a free game)
• Payment of consideration to be eligible to win a prize (for example, 25
cents in exchange for a bingo card, or the purchase of a product sold by the sponsoring company)
• Distribution of the prize by chance

If one of these three elements is missing, then the scheme is not a lottery

Having lotteries in California is illegal.......

But legalising Mariijuana so they can get the state out of debt is not?

What has the world come to?

The primary reason they don't want other lotteries is because they want to be the only game in town.

Understandable, But don't most lotteries just work for the same big company?

About the lottery thing...

may I interpret it this- "eligible to win a prize"

as: So you can win a prize, but you might not... so you pay something but you might / might not win something..


But Remis, you DO "win" something for sure... or they could argue that we're paying for a random product.. (i don't suppose lucky dip was illegal?!)

Would that be the difference between lottery and remi?

Btw the puppy ears are now available in cash shop for 2445

[Hraesvelg]

That might be a way they justify it.

Maybe that's why you always get a little prize when you play put the ball in the clown's mouth~ so it cant be seen as "lottery" XD

Yes, when I say gamble, I am meaning more along the lines of taking a chance on what item you are going to get. I do not want to get 25 stupid things for 1 joker outfit. If I want a joker outfit, I want to be able to go into the cashshop and pay 4000SC for it and get it. Not take playing Remi's and not even get it after 50 spins.

Put it in both places and let people decide if they want to try and get it with one spin and only spend 1500Sc on it versus just buying it out-right and spending 4000SC.
