Player Run Lotteries

Important Note: Lotteries advertised on the personals board are not an official part of the AoA game and as such players should be aware of these points.

1) All players entering Lotto's do so at their own risk. You have been warned.

2) You may get cheated out of your Cr or Cargo. That is one of the risks that the players take.

3) If 2) happens to you, you are perfectly entitled to seek revenge on the organiser/s directly. Hire hit men/women, chase them down yourself etc., but you must do so off of your own back. Don't complain to us. We won't do anything about it for you. See 1) again.

4) Not all Lotto's give back all of the entry fees as prizes. Often the organiser benefits more than you do, so you should consider if you really want to give them free stuff.

5) Players are reminded that all transfers occurring via the bar feature are taxed as outlined on the Bar pages. Your entry fees and winnings will therefore be subject to these taxes.

6) If you run a lotto via the personals page, You should :-
a) Make it clear in the advert what the prizes are going to be.
b) State what the entry fee will be.
c) Say when and where the winner will be announced and paid.
d) State what's the players have to submit as their entry (eg their guess etc.).
e) Don't change your rules midway through the lottery. Stick to what you advertised initially.
f) To safeguard against cheating, "Guess the lucky number" lotteries winning lucky number should be told to an independent arbitrator when the advert is placed. PM it to tiggr if you want, and tiggr will not enter that Lotto, nor disclose the numbers to any other players.
