well stay on topic, btw Njaguar what do you think of adding a poker subgame, with an autorake feature? similar idea to Hourly raffle, but, more fun?

as much as i would like to see this happen it wont, d2jsp doesnt support gambling, not everyone is over 18 years of age and it would probably get out of hand with underage gambling,etc

dude, you cant gamble with a fake currency. hense why kids can play texas holdem on myspace

people pay money for forum gold and you can buy real life items with forum gold, its not fake currency

Yah, but you cant "cash out" which makes it 100% fake currency, you "buy" with real money, a monopoly set, thats still fake currency, why? because it has no value.

forum gold only gets the value the players give it, there for, its fake currency.
but.. as riccay said, you can buy fg, therefor for each Dollar fg is worthX amount.. so i guess legally its impossable to make happen without njaguar getting sued or however u spell that

Legally, hosting a poker game on this site would be gambling.

Same reason as it requires you to be 18 to use Pokerstars.

Even though you're not betting MONEY, you buy the FAKE CURRENCY with money. And play with it on the website.

In order for it to be okay to play poker on this website, we would have to do away with the ability to purchase FG.

However, if you go the Sports Coliseum Bar and Pub Games forum, they use Pokerstars to play poker and bet FG on their games.

Hope this helps :/

1. Gambling online is illegal in some way in most countries
2. Can cause legal issues
3. I can't, for the life of me, understand why Paul would spend hundreds of hours of programming(given that he knows how to make PROPER random-generators etc) of software on this
4. Other thread was closed for a reason

People pay money for the currency in other online poker sites as well. (Will not mention names). And no, I'm not talking about the ones where you can win actual money.
