A little bird has told me that CCP games is under investigation by the inland revenue over un-paid remote gaming duty due to its operating of gambling sites, any one from CCP willing to confirm how bad the damage in $/£ is going to be?

The Inland Revenue of..... ?

If there is any truth here, and I really doubt it, the last time the UK asked Iceland for money back Iceland laughed so hard a volcano exploded.

This thread is a contender for dumbest thread of the year. For GD that is really something. You should be proud.

When you write "a little bird has told me", you should have just written the truth "I want to see if I can stir the pot so I'm making some rubbish up...".

Forum rule 31. Rumor mongering is prohibited.






So i'd put my money on thread lock because little birds only spread rumours ... Blink

Server is based in London, hence the remote gaming duty being owed there. Lets all hold our horses maybe I can get a copy of a letterhead.

So now instead of just objecting to it on a "moral" basis, you are just making stuff up? If you are going to come up with a story at least put a little effort into it.

I don't work for CCP but I can confirm from the trusty stray cat I met on my way to class that it's $0.

Where can I go to this CCP gambling site?

I would like to see if I can bet on speed of threadlocking in GD

Gaming = gambling, but gambling =/= gaming. One day you will understand, little one.
