Re: cash out curse on Stars
However, I've just had a look through the laws of the state of New York, and a brief non-expert reading would suggest that rigging a RNG for a gambling service would breach the following laws:
[ QUOTE ]
§ 190.20 False advertising.
A person is guilty of false advertising when, with intent to promote
the sale or to increase the consumption of property or services, he
makes or causes to be made a false or misleading statement in any
advertisement or publishes any advertisement in violation of chapter
three of the act of congress entitled "Truth in Lending Act" and the
regulations thereunder, as such act and regulations may from time to
time be amended, addressed to the public or to a substantial number of
persons; except that, in any prosecution under this section, it is an
affirmative defense that the allegedly false or misleading statement was
not knowingly or recklessly made or caused to be made.
False advertising is a class A misdemeanor.

§ 190.65 Scheme to defraud in the first degree.
1. A person is guilty of a scheme to defraud in the first degree when
he: (a) engages in a scheme constituting a systematic ongoing course of
conduct with intent to defraud ten or more persons or to obtain property
from ten or more persons by false or fraudulent pretenses,
representations or promises, and so obtains property from one or more of
such persons; or (b) engages in a scheme constituting a systematic
ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud more than one person or
to obtain property from more than one person by false or fraudulent
pretenses, representations or promises, and so obtains property with a
value in excess of one thousand dollars from one or more such persons.
2. In any prosecution under this section, it shall be necessary to
prove the identity of at least one person from whom the defendant so
obtained property, but it shall not be necessary to prove the identity
of any other intended victim.
Scheme to defraud in the first degree is a class E felony.

I don't think that there is any credible doubt that similar crimes would exist in other US states.
