Line 35:
Some matrix schemes operated through websites claim that they operate as a private lottery. Their reasoned arguements for this are shown below:
''The members are those people who have bought something at an internet website, such a software CD. The website constitutes the clubhouse, as this is where the members of the club meet. Straight after the purchase the members are placed into the lottery, which is advertised on the website (clubhouse). Tickets are not legally needed to be produced, but often they are sent as email confirmations. The monies raised from the sale of the tickets is split between prize fund and the club fund, usually with an 80% split in favour of the prize fund. '' [http://www.cyberama.info/index.htm]
Others dispute this, pointing out that advertising outside of the club is not allowed. It is hard to prove either viewpoint as this arguement has not been tested either in a court, by the Office of Fair Trading or by the Department of Trade and Industry.
