While I can not post this in Casinos as it may cause drama I will make this viewable to anyone that chooses to view it.
If you are easily offended kindly gtfo.
Gambling Etiquette
No one cares if you just lost a billion gold gambling. It is your fault for being a dumb-a** and gambling it in the first place, so please don't post in casinos fishing for sympathy and donations.
No one cares about your dumb-a** drama, if you must share it with someone take it to the damn GD or CB I am sure some of the dickbags there would love to troll you over it.
Gift backs of 10% or more are mandatory. Anyone with any experience in casinos knows that GB's are an unspoken rule. No matter what any casino says you are a piece of s**t if you don't do one. No matter if the gb is for 10g or 1000k you should always do a gb for your bets, your dumb-a** excuses like you lost all your gold gambling, or you are questing ect is bullshit and you just look like a shitbag for being a greedy a*****e.
When it comes to giftbacks, you should always give your giftback in gold, the only reason an item gift back would ever be acceptable is if the sell back is equal to or greater than 10%, or if the item itself won't take more than 5 minutes to sell. Giving an item gift back is basically the same as saying "Here is some garbage I don't want, I'm too cheap to give you a proper giftback." The only exception to this would be if you giftback an item you know the person wants or is something they are questing ect.
You should always thanks someone for a bet regardless of the outcome. They don't have to bet you.
Don't whine if you lost a bet, you chose to bet in the first place, you accepted the risks, you just look like a b***h when you whine//complain. This also goes for whining when you get a s**t roll. Jokingly whining//good spirited whining are different, when it is obvious you are not legitimately whining then it is fine.
Those that use the excuse "I don't like that//those item(s)" to get out of betting are stupid. Who gives a s**t if you like the item, if you win just sell the piece of s**t and get over it.
Mods you are not an exception to the rules of a casino just because you help manage a casino doesn't mean you can break the rules or treat other people like you are better than them. You aren't.
Don't pressure people to bet, if someone doesn't want to bet with you leave them the hell alone, this goes for repeatedly asking to bet someone after they have said no, or asking to bet amounts or things they are not comfortable betting.
Always tip your middle man. Always.
Don't ask to bet on items someone is wearing, do you think if they are wearing it they want to get rid of it? No, alright, so don't ask.
Don't post dumb s**t like "X ignored me" or "I was ignored by X" what are you even trying to accomplish by saying that s**t anyway? Are you looking for sympathy because someone didn't respond to your post (maybe they missed it or they were busy, did you think about that?), or are you looking to start pointless a** drama? Either way it is ******** stupid, grow the ******** up.
Personally I think it is rude as ********] when you post something like "500k bets?" and someone quotes you with their terms, maybe I am the only one that feels this way, but I feel like you should ask someone the terms they want to use for their gold before throwing your terms out there.
This is kinda going off the last one, but if I post something like "up to 100k bets?" and you post your terms or just says something like "terms?", you are an idiot. Am I supposed to read your mind on what you want to bet, I said up to 100k, that means anything between 1g and 100k. PLEASE have the decency to tell me what you are are trying to bet.
It makes people nervous and hesitant to bet with you if you are wearing nothing. At least it does me, and from experience I know it does others too. It makes you appear to have nothing, or gives the impression that all your items are on a different account which is sketchy, among other various things. Please take the time to at least dress your avi for the comfort of other betters.
When you are putting up items for bets, have the courtesy to look up the value of the item beforehand, this will save you and your potential opponent time. This isn't to say you have to post values of the item in addition to the item, but having the knowledge on hand always helps.
This is one that really should go without saying, but there are still tons of people that fail to do so, so it needs to be said. Read the rules before you do or say anything pertaining to a casino. For example if you are going to sign the betting declaration in CDG read the rules before you break ten of them attempting to sign.
If you are unsure of a rule or something pertaining to a casino, read the front page, don't ask other users of the casino unless you have first consulted the front page. Nine times out of ten the thing you are unsure of will be addressed on the front page.
If a staff member corrects you, probates you, informs you of the rules, ect. don't ******** argue with them like a little brat. If anything it just makes it worse on you. Do you really think arguing, telling them they are wrong, ect is going to make them go "Oh, I didn't realize you were offended, and that I was wrong and you are right, here let me fix that for you, didn't mean to correct you dear." Because they wont.
If you are not a staff member in the casino you are in, this includes being a staff member in a different casino, do not, and I mean DO NOT try to mod when you have no right to. It doesn't matter if you own 15 casinos and happen to know everything in the world there is to know about casinos, if you are not a staff member in the casino you are in, do not act like a mod by taking situations into your own hands.
If you have a problem with the way someone handles a situation, a problem with a casinos rules, ect pm a staff member of that casino, or the mule account. Don't start drama in the casino, you just look like a little c**t when you do.
If you offer lmp on something or any amount of gold for bets, send the amount of gold you agreed on, it doesn't matter if the item is inflated, deflated, what it's ABP is , ect. if you agreed to do lmp send lmp, the same goes for doing a 200k bet and only sending 198k or something similar. If you do this to me, the difference is coming out of your GB, and you are lucky you don't get reported for scamming.
Favoritism is bullshit. If you are staff in a casino don't give your friends a warning, then lay the banhammer on someone else for doing the same thing. It doesn't matter if they are your bestfriend or your worst enemy, if they break the rules give them fair and equal punishment.
If you are a staff member in a casino, no matter the rank, if there is an issue with someone, have the common courtesy and respect to pm them instead of putting them on blast in the casino. This goes for violation of the rules, discussing their case, ect. It looks really unprofessional and tacky.
Name dropping aka publicly discussing someone by name or in some way where people know who you are talking about is immature and ******** childish, don't do it. This is to say that if you wanna talk s**t about someone do it to their face and not to everyone else's trying to look like a ******** badass.
If you are placed on the blacklist in a casino, for any legitimate reason, do not bother trying to bet in another casino. You have been branded as a shitbag, and even if they do allow you to bet, anyone with half a brain will stay the ******** away from you.
This one goes along with the last one, and while this is just my personal feeling and may not necessarily be anyone else's I feel like it needs to be said. If you are on the blacklist in a casino for something along the lines of scamming, failing to pay your bets, betting what you don't have, or attempting to bet without meeting requirements, ect. do not even bother trying to talk to me, I already know you are a shitty person and I don't want s**t to do with you. You can't even follow simple rules, and you essentially steal from people, I have nothing to say to you.
If you own or help manage a casino do not act like a little b***h if//when someone else opens a casino. This isn't a business, this is gaia. The point of casinos are to have fun, there is no reason a couple of people (one casino) should have a monopoly on the betting community.
No casino is perfect, but if you work in a casino where the staff plays favorites, half don't do their job, most if not all start drama, and most if not all break the rules, then you have no business getting upset when someone wants to make a new casino to get away from that kind of bullshittery.
Don't post bullshit antagonistic crap in your signature. Example: "Don't bet with me if you thank people for bets." Seriously ******** right off if you are the kind of person that puts s**t like that in your sig. It's called good sportsmanship, stop being a ******** s**t hole.
"I'm quitting because I lost X." First of all, no you aren't, you'll be back within a week just like everyone claiming they were going to quit when they lost s**t. Second of all, I have no sympathy for you if you can't exercise some self control, one of the basic rules of gambling is not betting anything you know you can't stand to lose, so when you bet someone you want to keep and then lose, it's your own fault and you have no one to blame but yourself.
Second chance scammers, aka people who scammed before but are either friends with staff, or some how weaseled their way back in after X period of time, will never bet with me, and any self respecting better would stay far as ******** away from you. Just because your friends trust you doesn't mean anything, just because it was X years ago when you scammed doesn't mean anything. You scammed once, you can and likely will do it again. Gaia doesn't give hackers/scammers second chances, casinos shouldn't either.
I imagine I will add more to this as the need arises.
If you can think of anything to add please feel free to comment.
Also if there is something listed here that pisses you off I'd be willing to assume it is because you are guilty of it.
If you are easily offended kindly gtfo.
