    Championship Betting

    Is the betting in Championship supposed to take the gems for increased bets? Seems kind of contrary to the idea of winning a bet, which is you get your stake plus something. I figured if I won it would at least return the gems, ah well.

    You're paying to increase the stake of the bet.

    You're not betting gems.

    So I am throwing away rare gems to up a bet to get minimal numbers of additional Tickets. 10 gems for a "chance" of an additional 500 tickets maybe.

    Gems aren't rare.

    They are if you don't have money to buy (money being rare) and are only gaining gems through random arena opportunities and sailing in pirates and activity bonuses.

I am betting that government authorities all over the world will soon crack down on it - and game over.
    You can't redeem money from gems. It's not gambling.

    That means you got the gems free. Therefore you don't have any right to complain about them.

    Gambling is not only for cash, Pink Slip racing is gambling and that is a car, there are also games like.... 'Cash For Prizes' < GAMBLING!!

    Like RiverBummer said, various technicalities allow them to get around anti-gambling laws. There's no denying the essence of what it is. No one is that naive. But whether it can be called that by law and enforced as such? Well, that is the issue.

    Correct. No one said all gem usage in the game was even or better yet even wise to do.
