CCP would only have information on the game side of things, they don’t control the gambling sites. On top of this, there doesn’t seem an obvious way to combat the abuse other than not allowing the practice altogether. A player could bribe a casino to make sure his character won and boom, illegal RMT right here, and totally undetractable. And that’s on the low end of the abuse of this system.Įven before I finished reading the article which described why CCP changed the EULA to ban them, I already guessed casinos would probably be used for real money trade. So the house would be free to lie about the odds. I can see this system was ripe for abuse.įirst of all, I doubt European regulators would check these sites like they do with regular gambling sites. The problem is asking random people on the internet to be honest has a much lower success rate than asking random strangers you meet face to face to be honest. If everyone is honest, the players scratch their risk taking itch (If you want risk, why not try solo PVP instead of blobbing into gangs? But whatever, I guess people like roulette or cards of whatever).
Players would send money to a casino corp, they would play on a different site, and then if they won they would be given ISK, if they lose the casino keeps the winnings. There was a time in EVE’s history when there were casinos which were not excluded in the EULA.
