Incorrect about Casinos. They are allowed.

"As for casinos, they are treated like trade agreements. This means that you should ensure clear rules are agreed upon in the game before engaging in this type of agreement, since the GMs can only enforce the terms of the agreement that was made in the game. So long as the agreement is upheld, the GMs should not need to get involved. If you do not feel that the agreement is upheld, you should report that to a GM for investigation for Fraud."
If you have set rules and you -follow- the rules and don't commit fraud you are ok.
Clearly what I need to do is buy roleplay with gil. And no one will ever see the beautiful fanart that is produced somewhere and shown. The roleplayer just so happens to be the artist. *nod*
I would be surprised if the "casinos" are actually allowed, considering their TOUÂ explicitly states:
 You may not conduct any illegal activities whatsoever in connection with the Game. This includes every illegal activity not specifically highlighted above, including without limitation gambling, defamation, harassment, and fraud. (emphasis mine)
If a GM has stated elsewhere that it's acceptable, then I suspect they haven't fully read their own TOU. That being said, I also doubt it's something they'll actively chase down and ban people over; but if it's reported they might stick those people in the jail for a talking to. It's something I'd be REALLY careful about participating in.
