Global Removing flips

• All of your points are valid.
• Gambling is an addictive practice.

Goldflip has already been removed globally from the server. Rather, just don't involve yourself in gambling using coinflip with in-game money. Goldflip was removed because it was a currency that could be purchased from the store, and gambling with gold directly meant gambling with real money.

Thank You

Personally, I deny the removal of the currency flip system (EXP, Money, Gold). At the end of the day, there are actions done within the game. If you are that serious about the environmental factor of gambling, then gamemodes like OpFac should be removed altogether. These type of game modes includes high toxicity, which will also affect the changes of teens and children. And even more game modes with payout, because due to the encouragement of payout, it encourages teens and children to play for an unnecessary amount of hours in games, affecting their health, and those who pay to win are paying unnecessary irl money to buy virtual wins.
Overall, I'm only saying you cannot blame gambling on the system itself. Instead, it should be based upon the player themselves who is doing it. There are many other servers (Including Jartex), which have currency flip implemented, and there is also include teens playing in those servers; you can't really tell all of them to turn this system down. If a player wants to gamble, it is not turning down of currency flip can stop them.

-1 the remaining flips we have in the game are all collected through ingame grinding , so its not really harming you unlike /gf ' s (which were removed recently). Yes , these practices in game might carry onto one's personality and may lead to irl gambling , but its not really the server's fault right?

But teens and children have a limited amount of time to use devices from parents so it is alright to keep payouts but parents do not see flips and let us do what we like on the computer and as i already said

So it gets an uncontrollable behavior

I do understand the statement. But like I said, the closing down of a system on a server cannot stop a player's gambling intention. Even if you close the system on Pika, there is more on other servers. On the other hand, if you look at online in-game gambling from a different perspective, the action of gambling online will give a test to players who have gambling addictions. A test to see if they can hold themselves back. This can teach them a lesson on what the price is when it comes to gambling. If they hit the wall in losing everything, the worst they will lose is some in-game currency, which will prevent them from doing it with real money in the future as they grow up. The Internet is an open area; you cannot just put someone in a cage and say it is the best for them. They need to actually personally go through them and know it for themselves to actually know if it is good or bad. It is the same as pressing the button. If someone were to tell you not to press the button, would you press it or not? If you press it, is it your fault or someone else's fault? The in-game currency (XP, money, Gold) is stuff that the player obtains on their own; they have the free will of how they will manipulate it. If they lose it, it is their own action that caused it to happen. There is no excuse for saying, "they are little, they know nothing". The fact that the parent is allowing them to come on the server on their own without stopping is not the server's fault. The teens can read the text and know what commands they are typing in. Players who play or are starting to play the system have a full consciousness of what they are clicking on. Especially the fact that when a player enters the flipping, it is not them automatically entering a flip when typing the command, but they click on the player they want to flip to start the flip of the coin (A confirmation page so they won't accidentally enter a flip). Restating what I said, the worst that will happen is they will only lose some in-game currency, but will gain a lesson for the future in not gambling with real-life money when older, since they will know the price if they were to enter it.
