Read this if you're interested in Somers busines practice.
The problems are:
1. The site is a scheme not serving eves community at all. No matter what - Somer wins - otherwise they wouldn't be successful. I don't need to run a multivariate anynaylsis on that (I could, provided I had the numbers) - but that's just common sense.
2. CCPs favoritsim doesn't only interfere with other ingame gambling sites competition, but GTC selling sites having partnerships with other 'fansites' such as battleclinic.
3. It's no wonder Somer sponsor lots of ingame and OOG events - it strengthens their gamblerbase. Does Anheuser-Busch receive government gifts for running bud light TV-adds in superbowl commercial breaks to create more alcoholics? Should they receive any?

So much for the objective part - I'll refrain from posting any subjective comments as that would likely get me banned, given the completely arbitrary and self-serving nature of these forums moderating staff.

And I just pointed out how PLEX are a non ISK faucet like scorpions are, and did not say it was a good idea.
Scorpions aren't an isk faucet either - isk faucets are mechanics spawning isk into eves economy out of nothing, such as bounties, mission rewards, blue loot or insurance.
However, due to the fact they can't be built by players, their supply can't be predicted by supply and demand, but arbitrary 'community' team decisions, rendering them highly volatile speculation objects, ending up as completely disconnected to a player driven economy.
Now the people winning them at the poker tournament might have thought they received unique items.
When the Somer team realized they successfully scammed CCP, they decided to keep it secret because they knew an RMT gambling site receiving them for doing what an RMT gambling site does would let their value plummet.
Somer actually profits from CCPs system both ways - newbs buy plex from them because they get an additional chance to win that oh-so expensive ship, bittervets use it to cash out at least a fraction of the isk they invested.
The dividend goes to Somer with the typical casino 'zero - bank wins' percentage as an icing on the cake.
Good Job Somer., CCP fell for it, pass the cost on to the user and end up rewarding Somer for it twice in a row...
Wow - just wow...
And I thought I was a drunk moron.

Sorry - cba to spend any time on these forums anymore due to Berlusconi'esque fashion CCP decided to handle this issue, but as this has been unstickied, I wondered if someone could point me to the new official thread with CCPs statement on their most significant misconduct to this date.
Thanks in advance.
