I keep getting these emails:

I don't have a facebook account so I haven't checked it out. So who are they? Are they gearing up for real gambling on facebook???

It's all too weird for me.

Just searched 'ClickFun Casino' on my facebook account and it looks like a game app, like Garden of Time where you play and earn levels and different games open. They are MG games though. AlleyCats, SnowHoney, StashofTitans and several more.

Am going to try it out and see what it is about.

I'm trying it too. The emails could be triggered by this app having an "invite a friend" system that supposedly unlocks larger bonus coin awards. It also accepts deposits, and has terms covering bot play, cheating, "abuse" through "irregular play" that are not out of place in a real money casino.

The only difference, something that it shares with the Virtual group, is that no withdrawals can ever be made - it's all one way

There is no need to deposit, because every hour you can claim an extra 100 coins just by opening the app. You advance levels simply by playing, and with a little patience you can go all the way simply by using the hourly free coins.
Coins can be exchanged for virtual goods, like in any other Facebook game, but these can never be sold to realise real money. Even if you could find a buyer, it is against the terms.

They operate from the Isle of Man (Douglas), which by coincidence is "just up the road" from Microgaming, and all 9 slots are Microgaming, and nothing else.

They are "copyright" to Clickfun though, rather than Microgaming, and there seems to be a tournament mode.

It looks very much "foot in the door", as many of the terms do not apply to a mere Facebook game, but would be useful to have in place if it developed into a full blown online casino.

Since you buy virtual coins, and play casino slots, how is this not "gambling". Surely the option to buy in with real money is enough for it to be ruled to be gambling, yet it doesn't have a gambling license, nor any country restrictions. It also seems to have no age filters, and when it suggested "friends" from my profile, it did not weed out those under 18. My 17 year old Niece was top of the list.

I WILL of course be inviting all those OVER 18 who persist in sending me crappy gifts from Farmville, invites from Mafia Wars, etc.

This app finally gives ME something I can get back at them with. I can send them "free spins" on a selection of MGS slots, and bonus coins whenever I get a "big win". I can also saturate ther newsfeed with an update every time I win more than 10x bet.

I will NOT be buying coins so long as there is no means to withdraw.
