    Hi,
    Thinking of making a in game football lottery, is this acceptable on the server?

    I wouldn't think so but I don't know what the servers stance on this?

    Other staff have said player-run lotteries aren't allowed. I disagree, but most staff disagree with me.

    It'd probably be best not to make a lottery, or try to use the server one. People will just "hijack" it.

    Are we be allowed to place sports bets on televised events? I mean like for NHL hockey, NFL football, or anything like that? If both players agree, that wouldnt be considered "lottery"!

    If it's EcoDollars, I don't see a problem with that... I would keep it to a very small group. Screenshots for later proof if issues arise would be a good idea, too. :l

    I believe that Andrewkm's stance is No User Created Lottery as it can be "fixed" no matter how "honest" you say you are. Make a plugin that uses vegas odds. now there's something!

    Yeah that was another point of mine, I can't see how they would be against it as long as its done correctly I can't see there being a problem as long as you can stay on top of it
