It's not that hard to understand. A scratch card/lottery is random - you have no influence over who wins - someone is picked. This is an auction where you actually state your bid and you actually know who wins - the person with the lowest unique bid.

I understand it perfectly well. So dont talk down to me like im your little brother. I was inquiring about the way. Not how the site works.

I'm not talking about how the site works either. I'm saying it's not that hard to understand why it's not like a lottery/gambling. Since you made 2 posts asking about if it was, I assumed you didn't understand that bit, and so tried to explain it for you.

Yeah, that's been a debate of mine over the last few days (the age restriction) it was set at 16 to enable more people to participate but paypal have their own restrictions. I've been looking around at other payment processors (credit card gateways etc) however for the time being i'm sticking with paypal.

This means the age has been changed from 16 years to 18 years, an e-mail will be sent out to all registered members to alert them of the change.

As for this being gambling, it's in no way gambling, the only reason users must be 18 is so they can use paypal (I could stick with 16, as many use their parents account) but I don't want issues down the line.

Thanks for all feedback guys.

I always thought they were 1 Pence Pieces. And yes dream; my voice often does that to people.

Nice and cool looking website.... but it looks more like a game site more then a auction site.
