unixmad · #3 07-13-2007, 10:17 PM

What is illegal is lottery when you play for skills it is not illegal.

Also you play for gelats not for real money.

It's like, buying cash points in a game that isn't worth legitimate values once you pay for the cash points. Same goes with Graal. Thus it isn't illegal.

They should make it so that you can do server hosting if you have a certain about of Gelats (Which would have to be a high number per month or whatever). Though they will not make as much money but it would be fun. = )

when I was a kid I used to play blackjack and bet candy, m&m's and stuff like that. is that illegal? I mean, the candy was most likely bought with real currency.

No, damnit, you're going to jail now.

SayianOozaru · #14 07-14-2007, 04:25 AM

this is by far the stupidest **** graals done. they just killed off zone with these "gelats" or whatever the **** there called.

i guess there new moto is "pay me for the game, and then pay me for everything inside the game".

they should keep it to where if you want to take the time and get **** through the game, you can, or if you dont want to waste time and you want to get it, you can just buy it.

seriously, zone just died, and there apparently going to be adding it to other servers.

theHAWKER · #15 07-14-2007, 04:29 AM

gambling + 11 year olds = ilegal xD

xAzerothx · #16 07-14-2007, 04:32 AM

It would be fun to hustle some people into losing some gelats.

they killed off zone by giving trials a limited amount of time to play

i agree'
zone is dead

blazeingonix · #21 07-19-2007, 07:22 AM

Sadly I must agree.

zim5354 · #22 07-19-2007, 07:47 AM

the zone you played always sucked it was better when it was on classic

Horrified · #23 07-19-2007, 06:57 PM

So wait...If you're under 13, your parents need to give you permission, or something of that type. So wait, we're letting underage kids gamble now?!

Oh man, oh man. I wonder what the parents will think

I agree with this all the way. The gelats system is awful and if they are thinking of using it on other servers (i hope not gk...) those servers will most likely die aswell...

Could you imagine a GK where you can just... buy a RoW anytime?

Your suppose to be 13 or up to play Graal, and why does everyone hate gambling?

When I tried signing up when I was like 9 it said
"Sorry, you may not sign up because you are not 13. Please get your parents to sign you up" or something like that.

Haha. Can't you do that now?

Twinny · #34 07-24-2007, 10:51 AM

Young gambling will always be around

.

Some of my fondest memories in high school was playing cards in 'Legal Studies' just because how much the teacher disliked it (legal studies + gambling? he he). The bets were trivial things like pencils or candy but it was fun. By far the best memory was when my mate pulled out a roulette set and we started playing...the ball was so loud

. The teachers face...it was priceless.

Anyhoo, I don't think there is any harm in it. Gelats can't be refunded (as far as I know) so you're not truly gambling for money. It's just in-game stuff and enjoyment (and bragging rights).

Gambling is based on luck for the most part. Although it does take skill to play poker and such, you will not win with bad cards if you are versing other experienced players. (Dont tell me otherwise, no one on Graal is a professional poker player, nor are they even close to becoming one)

Also, the Gelat's would represent chips, for the most part gambling sites are illegal. I would assume this is no different, most gambling websites use chips for currency, this one just uses gelats.

You can't exchange geleats for money.
