Lanzer

Recently got a call from Paypal saying that we need to take away our Casino games or we would refuse to work with us. We had only given a few hours to respond to their request and was quite surprised at the event. We are still trying to talk to them right now to see if we can bring the games back, with our fingers crossed...

Meanwhile, we are close to coming up with more plans on changing the gold granting system so that more gold will be given to everyone. Stay tuned!

And that's a pretty damn good reason... eek

Another one is the fact that Congress has passed an anti-online gambling bill as well.

Meh.

Caving in to PayPal over nothing.

Gaia gambling isn't something those weak kneeded, tin eared wankers should get their dirty underware in a knot over.

Unless it directly involved real money, the slots and blackjack games were clear of any issues.

What's next? Is the IRS planning on taxing our gold?!? After all, a lot of gold is generated by real cash donations to Gaia.

Our ******** government not at work.

Its a CYA manuever and I'm sure Lanzer can work things out. We'll find out soon enough :/

I hope so.

The slots were not my favorite game, but I did play blackjack and had a good run with it.

I've learned to like fishing in the meantime. ninja

So lame. Damn you PayPal! The Casino is the ONLY part of Gaia my husband liked. Now how can he play slots and cards for hours at a time to win me tickets? crying

I hope they get this s**t sorted out soon enough.
