It’s a specific game where you keep rolling until someone rolls a 1. That’s why it’s called deathroll instead of just “roll for gold”.

So according to this it seems to be perfectly fine to do this as long as I don’t advertise it myself. Can we have a confirmation this is still the case?
See other threads about getting scammed… Vanilla =/=Classic, they don’t intervene anymore unless its an automated script 
Not to be rude - but if you trade 50g to a stranger in a online game you deserved to be scammed

Reading this gave me an epiphany, Blizzard is ran by Vogons(Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy), it’s the only thing that makes sense!
IIRC on eu servers RNG gambling is a flat bannable offence, something to do with gambling laws in some countries. If there’s an element of skill EG betting on a duel it’s completely fine though.
I think that only applies when blizzard is actually selling you something. Like loot boxes. Death rolls are completely player driven.
I asked a GM about it some time in legion, and that was the response I got. I think the logic was that if gambling’s illegal in your country, Blizzard don’t want you doing it or being involved in it and they can’t control the groups you’re in. Easier to just blanket ban it.
Of course! They need to wait until the ticket is signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

good to know that they care for the important issues:D
Who wants botters banned anyway
Can we have an official comment on this? This is widespread enough that Blizzard should have noticed it occurring, a lot, by now.
look at this guy, thinking blizzard will give us a statement about anything. No offense

Where do you read this?
The only thing I can read about gambling policy is this.
“While running or participating in casino activities in-game is not a violation of our policies, we do not allow advertising for such activities in public chat channels or on the forums. Players found advertising these activities in chat or on the forums are subject to penalties.”
^ There’s the lastest 2017 response anyway.
4th identical thread asking the same question, don’t ye guys know how to use a search function… it’s nothing to do with blizzard policy and to do with European law. You cannot advertise gambling to anyone under 18, wow is 12+ in some countries. Therefore advertising deathrolling is a bannable offense (read you can be prosecuted in most European countries for it, but lord knows how they would even attempt to). However the act of gambling itself is not banned. Keep it out of public channels. (/1 through /4, out of /s and /yell and your ok. It’s all allowed.

It’s not gambling !!!
Its ‘surprise mechanics’
Best thing to do is if your gambling with a stranger find someone you trust to be the middle man, before any rolls both players are made to trade the gold to this trusted middle man. If they can’t agree to this then don’t roll as they are probably trying to scam you anyway.
Lmao a gambler asking for his lost money. You lost those the moment you started gambling and you deserved it.
