    Suggestion:
    When promoting their casino, it should be illegal to use the claim "moderator approved" as a way to build legitimacy. Those claiming moderator approved should be warned not to and then if they don't stop, should be banned.

    Reason:
    Because saying that it's moderator approved doesn't mean anything but people think that it does. So a moderator was there for 45 seconds and said "yeah looks fine". What is to stop unscrupulous individuals from making changes shortly thereafter?

    Other Information:
    I think that staff should not endorse, nor participate in casinos in an professional fashion. They should be allowed to play but only as players, not as staff endorsing.

    I agree 100%. I would also like to state something dork said in a previous post. Mods should be weary of what they approve for the simple fact that a moderator is an extension of ECC and what a mod does or acts effects the community as a whole and if a mod approved a casino then the owner of said casino changed it to be rigged that moderator is now approving of a rigged game without knowing it because lets be real mods can't just go to casinos all the time to make sure the owner hasn't rigged it up "after" the mod approved of it and left.

    This is something I can completely agree with. And frankly, even if you have a screenshot of a moderator saying "I approve of this casino." I don't think you should call it Moderator Approved. I think if, for example, I say "I approve of the xyz casino!" You should say "Revanrose6 approves of it." Not "Moderator Approved." Calling something Moderator approved makes it sound like the entire staff team and thus by extension ECC Administration thinks that something is not a rip off. Just because one staff member thinks that it is approved, does not mean you should imply that all of staff do.

    Further, I get a distinct feeling that players are falsely throwing that claim around anyways. Overall, I think that these claims need to be stopped. We cannot guarantee that a casino isn't rigged anyways. Lets say a player calls a mod to see a casino. They try the casino for several rounds and decide its fair and its 'odds' are accurately portrayed. ie: A 50/50 odds of winning and the mod really is winning 50% of the time. The Moderator then says "Yes, I approve." and the Mod goes on their way. Then the player turns around and rigs it within 5 minutes of the Moderator leaving.

    Overall, what I'm saying is 1) Players shouldn't claim that staff support their gambling institution. 2) Staff should not say they do unless they say, "This is not the opinion of staff but of myself."

    We as staff are players, but we are also role models. We are looked up to and people trust us. These players who are falsely claiming staff approved casinos and then players are discovering it is rigged are only having the player base lose trust in the staff.

    Staff should always be trusted. We are only here to help and we are the players life line when problems happen. I appear to be rambling again... my point stands though. Staff shouldn't be supporting these and players shouldn't claim they do.

    Let me explain for I was the one who first tagged my casino as mod approved (then everyone decided cause they can't think of their own ideas that they will go copy me), my game is 50/50. It is proven by players and berserk. Berserk watched me spin the wheel 5 times and gave me a legit answer of it being 50/50. He was not there for 45 seconds. Half of the casinos are not actually moderator approved but residents and builders think that if they say that people will actually believe them. There is nothing wrong with having a casino approved to be 50/50 or whatever you say it will be.
