Linden Lab: Skill Gaming Policy update

On Monday 29th September Linden Lab posted a new blog post on the Second Life official blog announcing that from Saturday 1st November 2014 the new enforcement of the updated Skill Gaming Policy will come into effect. This will affect all residents in Second Life including those that have pending applications waiting for approval from Linden Lab.

In recent months there has been strong interest to become approved skill gaming Creators and Operators so that’s good news. If you are interested then you can apply here.

The full blog post

On September 1, 2014, the updated Skill Gaming Policy for Second Life went into effect. As a reminder, this policy allows for skill gaming activity in Second Life, but establishes that only approved Creators may make skill games with L$ payouts, only approved Operators may run them, and they may only be run on designated Skill Gaming Regions, where access is restricted to those who meet certain qualifications.

As our FAQs explained, applicants to the program who submitted their applications prior to the September 1 deadline have been permitted to continue their skill gaming activity while their applications are reviewed.

Beginning November 1, 2014, the enforcement of our Policy will apply to all Residents, including those with pending Skill Gaming applications that await Linden Lab review and approval. As of that date, any objects or regions found in violation of our Policy will be taken down. We strongly encourage all applicants to submit any outstanding materials for our review as soon as possible so that their applications may be processed before the deadline.

From the start, we’ve seen strong interest from Residents seeking to become approved skill gaming Creators and Operators. You can find the current list of approved participants here, and we’ll continue to review applications as quickly as possible to expand that list. If you would like to apply to become an approved skill gaming Creator or Operator, you can do so here.

Good luck to all those applying to become approved skill gaming Creators and Operators. 🙂
