No, it looks like Quatloos are fine. If it is a bet for nothing, it is allowed. ---

Quatloos-How quaint. When you are ready for some real gambling, come over here to the Gold pressed latinum table. ---

Honest question: About a year ago, I hosted a contest, with the winner(s) being awarded some foodstuffs. Grand Prize was a bag of Cheetos with a jar of New Mexico green chile. Runner Up was a bag of Cheetos. I physically mailed both winners their prizes, and they were recieved. It was a tangible prize. Is this still permissible under the new rules? Tripler Honest question. ---

It wasn’t a bet, though, was it? Those who participated didn’t have to pay anything if they lost. Maybe you should ask Discobot. ---

That’s correct, it was a “no cost” raffle, with tasty, snacky proceeds _donated_ by yours truly. Point taken. @discobot What are the legal ramifications for TPTB of hosting no-cost raffles with donated prizes, over the banning date of trolls on the SDMB? @discobot roll 2d6 Tripler Last one added in for good measure. ---

When the Republic has crumbled and burned, and its cold, dead ashes are entropically dispersed, the Quatloo will remain. ---
