It's too late now for the Grand National, how about letting inmates bet favors or $ on big sporting events or perhaps easier to administer sweepstakes?

or bet money. it would be interesting

Hmm... I don't think it'd be illegal... I suppose it's worth a shot. Though, I don't follow TV at all so I'd have no idea when shit's coming up

mufasa you should do this with money and favours too.

you need a gambling license to do this im pretty sure

lol gl for just a game???

don't think you need a license as no real money is up for grabs.

The law of the State where the server is based will apply.  See this link to British newspaper The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2006/sep/09/gambling.newmedia

aslong as u say that there are no real life money rewards just game rewards i think its okay cause if someone wins alot and sues u for not paying in real life money u can point out that it says no real rewards

You gotta be careful with this Mufasa. using real life events I mean.

If you take this path, you cant use anything that can be purchased with favors since they can be brought using real money.
