To summarise, the end user license agreement for the game now includes the line: “You may not use, transfer or assign any game assets for games of chance operated by third parties.” That means running a gambling website like, which was a big source of money to one side in EVE's ‘Northern War’, is now against the rules.
More interestingly, remember all those kingpins who funded the recent megawar against the once-unstoppable Goons? They’ve been loudly stripped of all their money and assets, and thrown out of the game. This means gambling is now effectively outlawed. This is because the game’s new terms of service – introduced to get the MMO ready for its upcoming free-to-play era – now include a direct prohibition against “games of chance”.
The gambling dens and casinos of EVE Online are being shut down in a sweep of bans by developers CCP.
