Maybe. But the good thing about it is, that it teaches us again not to spend too much time, money and emotions for something, that will be swept away in just a blink of an eye some day.

Anyhow, round #351 is running and still gives you the chance to win for only 1.000 ISK up to 7,5 billion ISK!

Also there are alot of in-channel prizes you can win for free! No tickets needed, just a number in chat. - That's not gambling, that's BIG!

Give The BIG Lottery a try (it's conform with the EULA) and me your Fedos!

My sincerest condolences. I myself would be so angry.

I couldn't believe it when I read it first, but at least we have now finally our pink ship skins :/

No RIP yet ....

I don't see the connection to gambling and neither to 3rd parties. Draws are in the channel, chat supplies the RNG, transfer via wallet and contract. I don't see any issues.

And like I said before, its a social gathering, not a slot machine. Having a good time in the channel every second week for 3 draws hardly feeds any gambling addiction. You can neither sped up the process by playing again or more at the same time, nor invest more then the max number while loosing possible winnings by doing so and outbidding yourself, since the price is fix °°

If this would be classified as gambling, then sending loonie continually my ore via contract, to refine and sell and return ISK via a 3rd toon would be "games of chance operated by third parties". Cause every time I would transfer assets to a third party taking a risk for possible good reward.... not even knowing how much he would skim off (hehe, o/ Loonie). And 'oh no' he might use an out of game spreadsheet °°

Maybe Fer, at the moment it's up on BIG and CCP.

I really hope the legal department of CCP comes to their senses and allow BIG to continue even if it scratches the definition of gambling. Make the Lottery or BIG an official part of the game (CCP_BIG) and BIG wouldn't be a third party anymore. But to chop off the whole leg because of a few broken toes?

No joke BIG, did this lottery since April 2003 (including testrun) every two weeks without interruption. He is a part of EVE history. If he doesn't deserve better, who does?

I vote for CCP_BIG and for a continuation of the BIG Lottery as a non profit player event.

Those are actually some rather good points Fer.

Nothing is actually done by any 3rd party.

You can't "play/gamble" on the website (3rd party) - It's done ingame (by transfering ISK)
The draw isn't done by a RNG on the website - But by actual people (2nd party) ingame.

Interesting.

Yeah it is a very sad way ccp have chosen.

But if this is the end of Big games lottery, i will of course move my Christmas donation up so it will be a price for the last draw ( go out big ) ...

I sure hope that ccp would response on the stuff Fer'isam points, and if Big games is in the ban or not .

Anyhow, i will be very sad to se this go
