Tudo sobre iStripper

I don't mean to insult anyone here. Based on what I have read on this forum I am doubtful there are many gamers in the community. This discussion has been going on for years.

- that on Istripper we don't gamble with real money

This is an example of an incorrect statment. In casino when you go to a slot machine in many locations as soon as you enter your money in the machine its turned in to a "credit". The difference is you can choose to turn that credit in to another currency option (ie a Dollar or Euro). There are some locations that require casinos use real cash values instead of credits as well.

I was very clear that currently Totem is bypassing gambling regulation because you are never going to win currency you can turn in to Dollars or Euros and thus most legal requirements do not apply that does not mean its not gambling just that its not a legal definition to require a gaming commission oversight. Instead you are simply winning a currency that can be redeemed for digital goods (this is the loophole that people are pushing to be closed). In certain circumstances those digital goods can even be turned back in to standard currency (CounterStrike knives go for $$$) but since you are not directly winning something that has a specific cash value it still does not qualify for legal enforcement most places.

Gambling is the act of spending a small amount of currency and either getting a larger or smaller return by a system of chance. This is why Fantasy Football is not viewed as gambilng because it is based on a game of skill instead of game of chance (its also an argument used for making Texas Holdem legal as some people view it as skill instead of chance). The only difference is today the regulations are written based on a time before digital or other currencies it also has been overlooked since the governments are not getting a cut of your winnings like they do with casinos.

If Totem wants to do that, then that is fine they choose to take action and others can choose what to do. I am expressing a viewpoint that has been shaped over years of interaction of these types of systems. Some might not know but systems like this are actually becoming illegal in Belgium. So there will be a time in the future where this is not allowed with actual oversight. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/25/17280440/belgium-video-game-loot-boxes-illegal-gambling

That is my only ask is that Totem be upfront about odds. People do not view this as a video game but I have to assume any new legal president would apply to all software not just those strictly viewed as traditional video games (since I would suspect Pokemon would be on their radar which in certain realms could be viewed as a collection software simliar to this with cards).
