Dont waste time with someone not informed enough to understand why gambling addictions are not a personal choice. The science has been widely available for years for people to educate themselves at this point. Anyone not knowing is either wilfully ignorant or downright abusive in taking advantage of others. ---

This issue is certainly going to back fire on CCP. Headlines of the gamer review websites “EvE online introduces more risk and implements a gambling feature that can empty your bank accounts” ---

You’re mistaken. It’s illegal in many countries where safeguards are not put in place to protect people. You also have to be over 18 in some countries. ---

I get mad a ccp for things sometime but this some beyond low of you. You should not come here tossing stones. Find a more suitable place to vent your frustration. You are going to get flamed into the stone ages for the .3 minutes this is unlocked. ---

> [@Zoiie](#): > > ya know, gambling is not illegal 🙂 in fact it’s tax benefitial in many places for the winner I hardly believe that CCP pay taxes on the gambling they implemented. I also don’t see any of the warning signs or age restrictions that usually come with gambling. > [@Zoiie](#): > > so don’t use it That is easy for you to say. But a person with a gambling addiction can’t control that anymore. That’s like telling a paralyzed person to “just use your legs, how hard can it be?” I seriously hope it will bite them in the ass one day. I find it extremely tasteless and completely unnecessary they added this feature. It has absolutely nothing to do with EVE and everything with just sticking an additional monetization vector into an established product to milk the addicts. It’s just disgusting and they should be ashamed. ---

Very well put. 100% agree. I’m a little ashamed to play this game with this feature that preys on the vulnerable addicts. ---
