Gil Casinos?

Pretty much after Golden Saucer I rarely see these anymore in Cactuar. There was ONE 3 days ago, but she stopped because of lack of customers.

Asking yet again, because I know Gil Casinos are bad, but I want to Re-open my friendly Gil lottery.

How it works
First starts with a Gil Pool. Players add gil to Pool to try and win 100mil.
More bets = More gil

By the end of day if nobody wins, I Give away allthe gill that was added to pool with another lottery pool, and whoever rolls closest wins it all!!

I will in NO way profit from this, only enjoy spicing things up for people to keep them interested.

A Gil Lottery is actually against the terms of service this is probably the reason for the slow decrease of them.

Casino's however (unless the ToS has changed since the below GM Post) I think are not against the ToS.

This concern was brought to my attention earlier today, and I can certainly see how this would be confusing. Having looked into the situation a bit deeper, I believe I can offer a bit of clarification about this. The main point of distinction that is relevant here is the difference between casinos (which cover a wide variety of games) and lotteries.

Casinos, while diverse, are ultimately trade agreements handled and resolved entirely within the game at the time of the agreement. When mentioning that it is handled entirely within the game, this covers all aspects of the exchange, including the use of the in game /random command. By remaining within the game, all the details of the exchange can be verified and held as equal for everyone.

Lotteries tend to have a larger scale, which necessitates external tracking and handling. When considering a large scale event like a lottery, consider that you cannot be sure that the agreement you are making with the other person is the same one that another person is making, and listing the rules on an external site means they could be changed without notice. Because this cannot be tracked or verified from the standpoint of a GM investigation, these types of exchanges are discouraged. While a small scale, immediate lottery type exchange could be possible, the large scale lotteries are a fraud concern that has us encouraging them not being advertised in the game.

I hope this helps explain things for you. I'll keep an eye on the thread in the event that I need to add additional clarifications.

Even If I give away gil? (preparing from insulting comments seeking likes)

EDIT* Casinos seem okay, but last time I had someone won 100mil and he tricked me with bad roll Dx
