As reported by: Herald sun
Second Life creator Linden Lab this week instituted a ban on betting games that "rely on chance or random number generation to determine a winner, or rely on the outcome of real-life organised sporting events".

The ban includes casino games such as blackjack, Pai Gow, poker, roulette and slot machines, Linden spokeswoman Robin Harper said in a Second Life website posting announcing the new policy.

Because local laws regarding gambling may very depending on where Second Life's nearly 8.5 million members live, Linden "decided to take a broader approach by prohibiting all games'' that meet its criteria, Ms Harper wrote.

Linden threatens to punish in-world gambling operations by deleting offence-related content, suspending or terminating the accounts of those involved and possibly reporting them to real-world authorities.

"I'm no fan of gambling, but I am a fan of freedom,'' Second Life resident Apollia Pirandello wrote in a chat forum linked to Ms Harper's posting.
