		<description>Ok, did she HONESTLY think an Unregulated Casino in a virtual world was REALLY going to hand her One Thousand,Six Hundred Crisp New REAL United States Dollars for Winning an On Line Wager?

Phhht, Good luck with that one hon.

And Now that On line gambling has been banned in SL her chances of getting the money have dropped from Nil to &quot;When Satan skates to work&quot;.

Gambling in general isn&#039;t the brightest use of ones time, and money. Gambling with completely Annonymous people on Game machines They designed and scripted is just rediculous. IF i were inclined to lay down more than a Dollar on a lottery ticket, i&#039;d want to see the colour of the other guys Money, and KNOW there was no way for him to Welch.

P.T. Barnum was Inordinately Conservative in his Estimates when he said there was a Sucker born every Minute.

		<description>I&#039;m sick griefer theives at the roulette tables at Brussel.  They use a giant flat transparent prim that covers the betting table causing gamblers to pay their bets to the griefer rather than the casino.  They usually work in groups of 2 or 3 and always appear as women.  That&#039;s why I stopped playing roulette in SL.  No one stops them, not Linden Labs or the casino.

		<description>Response to Skye Club Oceania posting.

Within this post the writer claims that the casino is a &quot;established, reputable casinos, like Skye Club Oceania&quot;. However as we are operators of a real life web casino (as well as Second Life operations) all operated offshore (British Virgin Islands operations with Canadian customer service) we have to question how such a casino (Skye Club Oceania) can have a web presence hosted by U.S. based GoDaddy which is located within the United States (Arizona). Does this casino operator know something about the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act that we do not know (as well as the rest of the real world casino operators) with regards to operation of an online casino within the United States?

I would recommend that before Ms.Rhonda Bosen accepts any offer of compensation that she consults legal counsel to ensure that she won&#039;t be in any trouble with the FBI (or any other law enforcement authority) from receiving compensation from a casino that has presence within the United States.

For more reference refer to the the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act at: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h109-4411

Also reference the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act at: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h109-4777

Also, for those of you who may question how we can operate within Second Life, effective April 04, 2007 we have taken steps to turn away US based avatar access from our Second Life casino. This is due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act as well as tax reporting requirements on winnings in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service. Note our press release: http://palmvegas.com/PalmVegas-Press%20Release.pdf (some may not be able to access due to security controls restricting US access to our web casino domain) or the Reuters interview at: http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2007/04/05/offshore-casino-turns-away-us-based-avatars/

In our opinion, this problem of having a casino not pay out (if the are required to) will only draw additional attention to the gaming within Second Life and the huge percentage of those Second Life casino&#039;s that are connected with US based owners.

		<description>Dear Lindenians,

Please quit sending Abuse Reports. We recently stated that we should have never called Abuse Reports what we did. We don&#039;t want to hear your garbage. Our own Linden Labs people have stated that indeed, we should have never called abuse reports what we did. Look it up on the web.

Look, we are in California, US. Our fore fathers killed off the indians to get here. We took their land so we could create virtual land. We are Linden Labs, we are going to dominate virtual land market and we don&#039;t care who gets hurt in the process. Did we mention we are American?

Sorry, that is the American way. Yes we voted for bush and believe that the US should dominate every land on the planet and every oil reserve that is available. It might take a few years, but we will get it all. That is what we do, we are an American company. If we have to, we will outsource it to other scammers across the globe. All Americans stand behind us.. well, maybe not via our statistics that show what countries are logging into our service, but nevertheless, we stand behind our rights to dominate the web and kill off the indians.

Look sir, you do realise that our American culture is made up of people who took something that didn&#039;t belong to them? So why should Linden Labs be any different? Give us a break. We allow scammers because we believe we have the right as an American company to provide what we want on our own terms. Most American companies do this until they are caught like Enron.

Anyhow, You never made it to California... We did. And yes, this says alot Mr. Gateway to the west.

Land is power. You know it and we know it. Virtual or not, we will drive the indians off the earth for the power we see. We will deliver more land and protect the rights of corporate interests to invest in such at any means.

We think you need to take a break and think about how America came about in the first place son. Look, this is virtual America we talk about. This is the Gateway to the future. Not the mid-west.

So, why don&#039;t you just go buy a virtual island and do what everyone else is doing? Create your own scams and send us the money? Look, your American. You can get away with it. We will protect your rights until we go down. So why all the fuss?

The above a parody? Not the way I view it.

		<description>&quot; It&#039;s your own fault if you get scammed in Second Life where there ARE no regulations or laws or rules.&quot;

I&#039;m sorry, but no matter where you go on the internet, there are laws, regulations, and rules that protect. You are misguided.

		<description>YO EVERYBODY- you&#039;re missing the big picture, which is that only an IDIOT puts lots of real money into a stupid scripted object just based on nothing more than a gamble! If you want to gamble, go to a real online casino. It&#039;s your own fault if you get scammed in Second Life where there ARE no regulations or laws or rules. It just shows that you are an ignorant schmuck. And yes, Lindens do need to ban this kind of activity, but it still doesn&#039;t mean that Rhonda is a &quot;victim&quot; of anything other than her own stupidity!
