Make MC-M "Lotteries" disallowed.

[Louwtjie]

So recently alot of these idiotic threads has been popping up that allows users to pay money into the hosts account then he draws a winner this should not be allowed as

1. Promotes gambling on this website which isn't allowed already
2. Promotes underage users to "Gamble" which is Illegal by law
3. Opens way to scam
4. Possibly rigged and exit scam users.


How to stop this?

Make a new rule or edit the rules to disallow any "gambling/lottery" activities on any MC-Market services and platforms.

Anyone that disagrees with this state your opinion.

Of course, i dont know why the staff are turning a blind eye

I think a lottery is kinda cool, but it also promotes underage gambling, and provides an easy way to scam so I don't think it should be allowed.

It's not a good idea to start with.

 

[Louwtjie]

We shouldn't even have to have a rule for this. It's against the law already for people under 18 to gamble, and I doubt most of the people that will do it will be over 18

It can be alot of legal trouble for Mick since its highly illegal.

agreed, maybe on a site where you need to be 18+ and a staff holds it ensuring its legit, not on here pls

Yeah, the only way it should ever be done is ran by a staff member or someone very trusted so nobody scams or gets scammed

Users should feel whether they want to participate or not.

So you agree with illegal activities being allowed on MC-M where people lose money and promote gambling to 13-17 year olds? Good logic

 

[Louwtjie]

It's called an opinion. There might be some 18+ year olds who wanna make a quick buck or have some fun with friends.

Regardless if 18+ users want to join in these "lotteries" the site can be hold liable for any financial lose since none of their terms of use protects them against

1. Illegal activities
2. Gambling services such as license etc.

But I respect your opinion. And was not meant to attack you, if it did sound like I attacked you I apologize.

You're turning this into a much bigger deal than it should've been. There was no need whatsoever for this suggestion, people will participate if they want to, no one's forced.

Not "turning this into a bigger deal" I'm stating my opinion with facts and made a valuable suggestion not only to the site but to the users and protecting them from these activities so excuse me for "making a big deal" and doing whats right budd

 

[MrCelestial]

18+ year old have a right to participate however its different when theres 13 - 17 year olds who dont really know when to stop gambling, they dont know any better, they dont realise the risk, its ILLEGAL, if you want to gamble there's plenty of sites to do it on, lets not make MCM one of them.
