Pulled from Australian Government website:
"The offence
The IGA targets the providers of interactive gambling services, not their potential or actual customers. The IGA makes it an offence to provide an interactive gambling service to a customer physically present in Australia.
This offence applies to all interactive gambling service providers, whether based in Australia or offshore, whether Australian or foreign owned.
This offence carries a maximum penalty of $220 000 per day for individuals and $1.1 million per day for bodies corporate.
Interactive gambling services include those that are often described as 'online casinos' and usually involve using the internet to play games of chance, or games of mixed chance and skill. Examples include roulette, poker, craps, online 'pokies' and blackjack. 'Interactive gambling services' are defined in section 5 of the IGA.
The IGA also makes it an offence to provide such services to people in a 'designated country'. This offence is discussed in more detail below."
Jagex can call SOF what they like, but from what I'm reading " play games of chance, or games of mixed chance and skill" -- "online 'pokies" (sof is a basic slot/pokie machine) is possible this game does actually contradict law here.

Ravens Widow, it serves you right for real world trading. I only wish every rwt sgs product would be screwed harder.

I'm not RWTing. Get your facts straight before trying to say anything "serves me right".
I have the money to afford the spins, and guess what? I can buy 200 bucks more during double spin weekend and not even scratch my bank.
@ Everyone Else
Try suing or filling for a lawsuit, go ahead. I'd love to see you try. It's all talk, and there's nothing you have evidence to prove. Do you think the company wouldn't be prepared to have someone try to sue them? Over what? Something you have a CHOICE to buy? How's it gambling? You get something each time you play. The Squeal is a choice, you don't like it, don't play it. They give you free spins, they have spins you can win from quests, you can win from monsters and you can win from skilling. I could get 450 spins easy if I quested, mined and did slayer all day.
So it has micro transactions, big deal, all games do it. I play on another MMO that has been out for a long time, and guess what, it's still up, still running, and still an awesome game. All it's going to take is weeding out the babies and other keyboard warriors from the game and actually have some light shed on what's going on.
Too many people complain about Micro Transactions on SGS and SOF, and complain about EoC. Whine whine whine. Want cheese? You all hate change? Well, life changes, things always change, go back to the twilight zone if you can't handle reality.
Yea so your skills are cheapened, guess what, I spent a very long time getting to 92 mage, someone else got 99 mage from the SOF, do I care? No. Big whoop. They got the money to blow let them blow it.
Jagex is fighting bots and illegal RWTrs. They should be allowed to sell or do whatever they want with their game. I'm on YouTube - Search me at Littlejayberry . Or don't. Up to you.
