Exactly why I am here
I always wonder about things like this. It takes virtually no effort to imply your service is actually a lottery where you might be given massive returns just by using your service.
You're not actually a gambling service, though, so you don't have to give anything for real, nor submit to any form of regulation. It's just a hypothetical lottery as an advertisement.
Amazon Lootboxes
There's a YouTube channel that's been around for a long time called official duck studios. It was a few guys that made random bullshit videos, which was funny, but for several years they were sponsored by CS lootbox opening sites. They essential had to remove the first several years of their youtube career because turns out that's just gambling. Surprise.
Can you guess what kind of videos they're making today?
Oh boy. I don't suppose this is November, Liam, and Rocz, and they're off taking $2/subscriber to make WTYP episodes?
Also if this did really happen l, we ensured whoever made the error was sacked and now have checks and balances put in place to push further errors by having employees responsible have their pay docked.
In other words don't expect lighting to strike twice you pleebs.
