Quote: Originally posted by Todd on March 1, 2005 MillionsWanted:Just being involved with WGI is bad. It has already been judged as an illegal pyramid scam in several courts around the world, and is illegal in the USA. You may want to advise your relative that they should consider cutting all ties with that scam outfit immediately.At the moment WGI is legal in Norway, incredibly enough. The problem for many members now is that they have found out that they will have to pay taxes for the income

I've been doing qute a bit of research into online gaming recently and came across this forum while researching online cross border lotteries. At the risk of interrupting a private argument it seems to me that both of you have missed something here and that is that WGI is not what the world would generally term a 'pyramid' scheme. Pyramid schemes are typically based purely or substantially on the money that changes hands rather than offering any kind of product. Pyramid schemes all dventually f

Yes, I see I cannot change your mind. A closed mind cannot be changed.For someone who started this thread innocently looking for information about WGI, you all the sudden seem to be an expert on the company. Perhaps your inquiry was just meant to get people to check out WGI, like a spammer.This WGI is like peeling back an onion, and it gets more rotten as you near the center.If the Australian case gets decided against WGI, I'm sure you'll still be in denial, but the rest of us will be laughing

World Games Inc (WGI) is officially an ILLEGAL PYRAMID SCHEME!
Now it's official: World Games Inc (WGI) has been successfully prosecuted, and is officially an illegal pyramid scheme.Anyone still clinging to the preposterous notion that WGI is a good company should have their head examined.Better yet, the Canadian prosecution of seven WGI promoters commences November 29, 2004 in Calgary, Alberta.Here's some documentary proof:In the matter of ACCC v Worldplay Services Pty Ltd and Greg Kennedy:Judgment in this matter was handed down by Justice Finn of the Fede

I have to reply to this. The Norwegian Gaming Board can't say WGI is illegal, even before any trial has taken place. What they say is WGIs lottery is illegal to advertise, because of the norwegian gaming monopoly - Norsk Tipping . WGI has not been charged anywhere, and ain't going to, simply because their business is legitimate and according to all laws and rules in the contries where WGI is operating.BUT; because Norway is a member of the E S/EFTA, they have certain obligations to follow regar

Judging from how other countires in the vicinity are treating the WGI [scam] company, I don't think it will be long before they bring criminal charges on WGI, and force them out of Norway. Finland is totally cracking down on WGI, for example.
