Need GM Clarification on Player Casinos/Lotteries

[ExKage]

Thank you LGM Enkrateia!

Thank you for the clarification on Casionos and Lotteries! Would a small scale player run triple triad tournament fall under the former or latter? i.e. 1,000 gil buy-in, winner take all tournament for an 8 player party. Rules are published in game chat, seeding is handled via /random, the winner of each game reports in chat to the host... I would think that would fall under the "casino" rules. However, at what point would it become "large scale" and involve external tracking and handling? Is there a particular amount of players or amount of gil that would have to be traded to classify it as such?

Thank you for the additional clarification.

I think for the GMs to have a good conclusion, is it easy for them track and verify the winner of the games. I imagine that the /random shows up in the logs which is why having the rules and time stamp etc are what makes player casinos trackable and verifiable. But I think that requires a GM to reply and not speculation.

I agree, but on the forums at least, they seldom repeat themselves unless there's actually new info. So...

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.

If you want really specific clarifications for your specific rule setup... I'd recommend putting in a support request in game. Then it's on your account and if an issue comes up, it's easy to refer back to.

Thanks for the feedback! I was looking for new information regarding what a "large" scale operation is, hoping that there would be a black and white number translation. However, upon rereading the response, it seems that as long as all details can be tracked in game, it can be classified as a small. Now the question relates to the phrase "is handled at the time of the arrangement". I wonder if that is a set time limit, or it again is a gray area that can be covered by whatever can be tracked in game. I think you are right, and the best course of action would be to put in a support request in game. Thanks for the responses again! I hope you're all enjoying TT as much as I am... I just need to finally get that Terra card to drop!!!
