What is king.com? Legal playing of games for money?

Illini · Jun 21, 2007

I just heard about it on Deal or No Deal, advertising that you can play Deal or No Deal for real money on their site. I signed up and played a few games of Yatzy, similar to the dice game Yahtzee. I logged back in, and it's asking me if I want to deposit by credit card to play games for cash prizes. How is this any different than online poker or sportsbetting?

Yeah, sort of. If you have a high IQ, you can become good in about 5 games though.

Some smart lawyer has got to make that same connection.

Deposit money, and 'play' online...
How is this any different than our online sports stuff .... :think2:

They specifically say game of skill...vs. game of chance

A friend of mine here in Md. was playing on that site , I tried to register and they said my state didn't allow me to play for money, while she already was.

How they get around it, I don't know....looks like gambling for money to me.
