It's simple – shut down Blink **lmao**. And make this an in-game mechanic. I am not a gambler but many of my friends play blink. Why not 'rent a casino office' out of a number of limited slots in stations. Or introduce a new capital ship called cruise ship or casino ship (reinforced with strontium like a pos etc to avoid a nasty attack).

Surely CCP could find a legal justification to turn gambling to their advantage, and out of the hands of 3rd parties?

except if they officially integrate gambling into their game, then alot of players can get screwed, sicne several governments already have passed around the "virtual items should have a taxable value" law, those same countries would toss around the "gambling is illegal in our country, even if its for virtual currency/items"

Why? It's not an integral part of the system. If you want to play it, play it (and lose money; the house always wins or what's the point?) and if you don't, then don't.
