"Big Brother no longer just virtual in Second Life" — or at least that was one member's response to the popular virtual world's latest change to its gaming policy. Second Life's new policy effectively bans its virtual residents from participating in the many online gambling sites that have developed in "The World." Linden Labs' new policy, revised as of July 25th, now states: "It is a violation of this policy to wager in games in the Second Life (R) environment operated on Linden Labs servers if such games: 1) (a) rely on chance or random number generation to determine a winner, OR (b) rely on the outcome of real-life organized sporting events, AND (2) provide a payout in (a) Linden Dollars, OR b) any real-world currency or thing of value."
