Message: [QUOTE="lqprimetime, post: 4623871, member: 335723"] From a family or life standpoint, Freerolls are gambling. Once you have wasted 3 hours of your time and are close to being in the money, you are now gambling your time, and potentially other more profitable things you could be doing, or people you maybe neglecting. That is why going out 1st hand in a freeroll is "oh well" and going out near the bubble after 3 hours is "GOD DAMN DONKEY GET OUT OF HERE...waste of time" I don't know if this was an ethical question or like a legal question, legally it isn't unless you are placing a bet or wager(you can't wager your time since there isn't a set value so forget what i said before). But because of the companies and processes in which Freerolls take place, it could be seen as a means TO gamble,(like with winnings) with no oversight or restriction. Which is why banks or countries can't say "oh he didn't bet money to get that?, in that case let him deposit that money" It would be interesting for a company to have a "per game" jurisdiction site, where places that don't allow monetary gambling could play freerolls and only withdraw those winnings, like any sweepstakes. And certain tables be restricted based on Jurisdiction. But I don't know what the point of that would be unless the freeroll was to advertise something else the company could make money off of or sponsor. Edit: On that above note; that is probably what will happen in the United States if a software/company comes a long that wants to be in multiple jurisdictions. As some states or Jurisdictions have caps on how much you can bet etc... We will have the Washington $25 cap tables, and the Las Vegas NL tables in the future software. [/QUOTE]
