"not limited to"

Juntsie review dis thread and conclude dat American Futball gamble likely prohibited cuz it gambling and GM likely to rule such given broad scope of rule. Juntsie caution against dis, or at least public statement about dis. Not smart.

Juntsie, however, could write motion and argument dat dis not gambling, but he charge high rate of 3k per mintue, cuz motion not likely to prevail. Send tell if interested.

You might not get disciplined for it in game but you will definitely go to hell.

including, but not limited to, dice rolls, card games, "guessing" games, and any other form of gambling. Please use your best discretion when determining what constitutes "gambling".

Ok, technically sports betting probably does violate the rules. But you know what else violates the rules? Half the names on the server. But you don't see any enforcement of that.

The point is, the GMs don't just want to kill everyone's fun, they just want less headaches. When someone's name annoys someone else and they file a petition on it, that's a headache and the GMs might actually act on the name policy. But otherwise you won't see them running around Norath looking to force everyone to change their name.

Similarly here, it doesn't matter if the gambling technically violates the rules or not: if you make a private bet on a private guild forum and the only thing the GMs ever see is a one-time plat transfer between two guildies, nothing's going to happen. The GMs are not going to infiltrate your guild just so they can get on to your guild forum and find out about gambling they need to ban.

Now, if you're stupid enough to lose a bet, and the person you're betting with doesn't pay, so you petition the GMs to complain ... well then *cough* all bets are off.

We have been known to investigate one time plat transfers....

True, if its done among pals and everyone knows each other... the best games go unposted and there's no public manhunt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do things like this at your own risk. If your friends gets banned for RMT, and some transaction like this occurs between you and him/her then you'll almost certainly be banned as well.
