  I'm sure they could have kept the gift card "under the counter" not really advertised but we all know they're there If we want them by PMing one of the WGTmods, and asking for one.  Problem solved.  The non gaming states could still game while the states that allow gaming are allowed to "ask" for a gift card, as its not advertised any where on site I hope it could work

  No need for WGT to be sneaky.  The method already exists. For example, if you haven't reached the necessary level to buy the R11 driver it is locked in the Pro Shop. 

  Therefore, if you don't live in a State or Country that allows skill-base gaming, lock the gift cards in the Elite collection.  Sounds simple to me!

  Is this the real reason why Wgt cleared the Elite Collection..... to allow the new State and Countries to enter the credit based games.

  If it is, why didn't Wgt just come out and say so.....lol

  Locking the Gift Cards sounds a very good Idea.

  I think there is a more general problem of offering things of real value, specially since this is a beta. Remember they have reserved the rights to clear all accounts, all assets, everything, at any point. We do not own the stuff we buy, we borrow them.

  Ok, why was my post removed from this thread Pizza? It was a genuine question to a post that is also gone. Granted, it may have been off topic, but this was the only thread i saw that post in, and i wanted to know if something was announced in these forums that i missed.

  I removed an off topic post and your response to it.

  Somebody posted a comment on this thread that stated there was an announcement about hacking. I wasnt sure if this announcement was made by WGT, or if the poster had seen this announcement elsewhere? I simply asked where this announcement was, thats all. I see no reason to delete my post over that Pizza.

  I think this is the truth of the matter and I don't understand the obfuscation on WGT's part. I also posted the same thought in another thread (http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/149656.aspx?PageIndex=2) as I had not yet worked my way through this one.
