Casino Ban in Second Life [2007]

It was a bold move: June 24th 2007 all gambling was banned from Second Life. Eyewitnesses say Casinos were literally vaporized within hours of the announcement. Draxtor was there and looked at both sides of the issue.

It is jsut a game,but some people live off of what they make on that game.

[draxtordespres]

as a matter of fact Second Life is NOT a game but rather a virtual world or immersive 3D platform, which enables users to create and monetize their own digital content. A lot has happened since I first filed this reportage in terms of stability and usability, acceptance and growth of the platform. Users range from roleplayers to educators, ueber-geeks and YES: the US government :)

@draxtordespres ....It's a game dude, no matter how fancy it is. Yes people make real money, but still. It's a computer game. Wether you try to put a fancy label on it and go "It's not a game! It's a virtual world!" it's still the same thing...Nothing more than a game, you just put too much time into it. You should go outside for a bit, it'll do wonders.

@Left4Epic outside??? where is that?

[draxtordespres]

folks told me they liked SL gambling because you are there with others in Real Time and also that SL gambling is more amateur friendly and not dominated by the pros....
