Hello,

We have looked up your account and found that it was punished for being involved in betting (any game where you ask someone to pay for a chance of a prize).

Infraction: You were found to be the admin of "NPC19", a casino world.

It is against the rules to host, play, admin, have/create a casino-link world, broadcast about or even be near a casino or other betting parlor. The punishment is non-negotiable. Here is some more information about betting and casino punishments:

* Betting is illegal for a lot of reasons. It caused enormous amounts of stress and unhappiness among our player base when we allowed it because people would lose huge amounts of items (even when the casino was not scamming), and complain to us. A lot of people also find gambling to be immoral and don't want to be in a game that supports it. Further, almost all casinos WERE scams, so banning them solved this problem. Even a seemingly fair casino could instantly become a scam when somebody put up a large bet - the temptation to take it and run was just too great.

* Broadcasting about casinos is against the rules because essentially you are just advertising for the host (which is exactly what they want!). We have made it very clear in the rules that running, playing or even being near casinos is not allowed.

* We do not ban people just because someone reports you. If you were banned it's because a moderator or developer saw you hosting or broadcasting about a casino with their own eyes or you are the world owner/admin of a casino world.

* If you share a device with people who play casinos, you will also have to wait until their punishment expires. You might also want to remind that person that breaking the rules is a bad idea.

Best regards,
