Comments on: “It”s Not Illegal Yet!” — Opening the Sports Book in SL http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/02/its_not_illegal.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Kingey Oz http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/02/its_not_illegal.html/comment-page-1#comment-47582 Kingey Oz Sat, 19 Feb 2005 19:24:15 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2499#comment-47582 Everything has value. Monopoly money, United States dollars, bananas, Linden dollars - the point is, if the Lindens say it's fine, then it's fine. If their lawyers were concerned in any way about gambling in SL, you can be sure that would be the end of gambling in the open in SL as we know it. In the end, the only one who really is responsible for this is me, and I'm not worried. Everything has value.

It’s not play money if you can turn a bundle of it in for 200 USD or more.

Thanks! I had not spoken to User Caldera before...that information is new to me, but I don't see it as anything we can't overcome. Sports fan or not, I see wagering on RL sports in SL just as a way to have fun. Heck, I'm not even that big of a sports fan myself. Since we're not talking about large amounts of money here, betting in SL can be used to just give a game you're watching a little more excitement. At the moment, I don't have a time and date set for the launch yet, but I hope to have everything in place as soon as possible. Hopefully, all systems will be go by at least this time next week, but barring any complications it should be even earlier. When I have it, I'll post the date and time of the opening event here. Again, thanks for the article Walker! I hope to see everyone who's interested at our opening event. -Kingey Wow, nice article Walker. Thanks!
