Hi there as you may or may not know jagex is now introducing what many people are calling gambling into their game with their newest update. The Squeal of Fortune (SoF). Many people recently have been talking on jagex's "rant forum" about how this is introducing under aged kids (minors) to gambling.

You see with the introduction of the SoF, everyone including minors can now "purchase" spins (as seen at the bottom of this page http://www.runescape.com/gameguide/squeal_of_fortune.ws).

I do not understand how it is legal for jagex to have an option to buy spins to win items, but state that it is not gambling?

I know right. I guess this is the kind of thing companies try to fall back on when they're desperate.
