I can see how some developers are excited at the prospect of all Open teams having more ISK to put on a better show when the tournament begins. Also, the entry of EVE into e-sports is an great step to attract and introduce more users into EVE Online.
However, everyone should remember that every ticket in regular lotteries n Somer Blink has less expected value than what it costs to buy the ticket. Promotions put on by Blink only give back a fraction of the massive profits they make.
Put another way, every player that plays Blink is a loser in the long run.
I'm not sure how encouraging the taking of ISK from a huge number of players, a lot of whom do not know any better, and creating wealth for a single entity is conducive to the health of the player base in EVE Online. |

If people can't work that out for themselves, Eve isn't the game for them.
A lot of people do it because they have spare ISK and think it is fun, I don't really see the harm. |

I really don't think this thread is the best place for philosophical discussions on the morality of gambling sites but I will say my piece.
At the end of the day, most acts of apparent selfless kindness are of benefit to the person giving, be it soothing a guilty conscience, a publicity boost or to attempt to cover up a multitude of less than selfless acts.
However none of that really matters, all that matters is that SOMER Blink has really helped some of the teams in the tournament, and will have most definitely helped make this tournament better for everyone involved, the viewers and the competitors. So hats off for them for that, and I hope they do see an increase in site traffic and income so they sponsor the next tournament as well.
Also, a big thanx to Wunder-bet, who have also provided a fantastic boost to this tournament with their Spotlight Interviews and a very useful and informative website. |

I'm inclined to agree here. It doesn't matter what SOMER's motives are or whatever the case may be. The fact remains that they gave back to the community big time to make sure this tourny goes well for everyone involved. No matter what you may thing of their gambling site, the simple fact remains that SOMER did something great and made it clear that they expect nothing in return. You will not find many corps that do that for teams they have no vested interest in. |

You mean like /any/ gambling, of any type ever, that involves a third party holding the money for the people involved?

And maybe that is why it's very common to see various (RL) gambling companies support (equally RL) sporting events?
I might have issues about the Somer Blink involvement in this. But I have the same about their RL versions involvements.
So if anything, they've shown that EvE is becoming real ;)

Meh, all gambling is the same anyway so null point, besides, who ever it is they sponsor a tonne of stuff that ive seen so technically everyones a winner path-+find-+er (pthfndr, p+ñth-)n.1. One that discovers a new course or way, especially through or into unexplored regions. |
