THE LEVEL OF RISK
JAK JE VELKY RIZIKO

Any investment of money aimed at gaining a profit is fraught with risk. This applies to every project without exception.
Naturally, also to SG. However, as far as the risk of only playing is concerned, everything is clear. The Rules go into that in quite a lot of detail.

We receive E-mails with such or similar to such questions practically every day. In their hundreds and thousands.
Well then? Let us look at things one after the other. Or rather not! Let us rather go from the simple to the complicated. Let us start with legality and location, and afterwards look at everything else. OK?

First of all, we are a totally legitimate organization that has all the necessary documents for its work. In particular, a licence for the game. Its copy is shown on the site, so you can make sure in person.
In short, irrespective of whether somebody likes it or not, we operate on a totally legal basis and - there is nothing else to talk about here.

As far as our location is concerned, we have already addressed that question once. You can read through chapter F.A.Q. In any case, once some uncertainties still remain let us repeat it again and in greater detail.
Now then, the Caribbean Basin is virtually the only region in the world at present where a company that is not state-owned can receive a licence to organise a gambling game on the Internet. In the rest of the world this is an exclusive state monopoly.
Of all the countries in the Caribbean it is Dominica that has the highest rating of reliability (in any case, there has never been a single financial scandal here). At the same time the rules governing the issue of licences are the most rigorous here.
Before issuing a licence the government demands the provision of legally supported and extremely detailed information both about the firm and its founders. This information is being checked for several months. If everything is all right, then in the course of at least another half a year the rules of the game and its programming support are studied by a Council of special experts (exactly on the subject of possible fraud). In the case of a positive conclusion by the Council, the proposal on the decision to issue a licence is handed over to the country’s Parliament for ratification.And only in the case of ratification by Parliament (which by far does not always happen) is the licence signed personally by the minister of finance.
Subsequently, the firm that has received a licence is obliged to keep its current account exclusively in the State Bank of Dominica, and its work is constantly monitored by special state authorities. The firm is also obliged to set up a special insurance fund of commercial risk (guaranteeing players the payments of the necessary compensations in the case of any force majeure situations arising), to periodically submit the findings by independent auditors, different technical experts, specialists on programming support, and so on and on, to the supervisory authorities.
Well, and so on and so forth. Probably there is really no point in continuing, is there? Shall we believe that we have cleared up the geographical problem?

Well then, have we coped with the easy questions? If so, let us get on to the difficult ones.

Since the above phrases keep reocurring in almost every letter and virtually literally at that, it is simply imperative that we try and answer them too. Even in addition to all that was said above.

And so, let us get down to the essence of these questions. At times we will be repeating what we have already said, but we cannot help that!

First of all, like any organization that has received a licence for its game, we are under a constant and very strict supervision by the state that has given us this licence. Therefore, we find it even somewhat strange when having to hear any kind of doubts concerning the truthfulness of the information placed on our site.

As far as the addresses of the winners are concerned, would you yourself, for example, agree to have your address published on the site after winning a large sum of money? Eh? Well, the same applies to the others.

Should we publish the addresses of the losers? That is, should we engage in our own anti-advertising? Yes ... quite an interesting little idea. But why have you decided to fling it at us in particular? Other companies might well succeed in using it much more effectively! Listen to this: ‘Please buy our cars! But remember: this year alone this and that number of people have crashed in them!’ Eh? Do you like it? Not bad, isn’t it? And most importantly, very tempting.

We have been working on the Internet much longer than ‘just for a while’, since the beginning of 1998. We did not have the opportunity to start earlier.
Let us count. It took about a year and a half to write the programming supply for the game and more than another year to obtain a licence. Altogether, the beginning of the work on the project dates back to sometime the very beginning of 1995. At that time the Internet did not even exist in its present form and the idea of payment through the Internet seemed to be some kind of fantasy!

And so, we have been on the Internet not just a year but already a year, and during all this time, by the way, we have not received a single complaint. This is not an unproven statement, you can check it if you wish.
In theory, this fact alone should be sufficient to do away with all doubt. Or do you seriously suppose that we have been expropriating players’ money all this time with impunity, and nobody says a single word?!
But since, as it appears, you are extremely mistrustful people, let us continue.

So what else have we got left there? Ah, yes! ‘All this is too good to be true!’ Is it really? But what, in reality, is so terribly ‘good’ in our conditions?
The companies 1-8 are in fact an ordinary roulette.
Of course, the Privileged company is very ‘good’, but, firstly, there is a more than detailed description of the mechanism of its operation on the site, and secondly, having repeatedly warned you before, we would like to stress once again that it can be cancelled in the future. (By the way, this is not being planned yet. In any case, if it happens it will be announced well in advance, a few months earlier). And then, in fact, nothing too ‘good’ will remain on our site at all!
Since as far as companies 10 and 11 are concerned, one should not forget that they are not just highly ‘profitable’. They are also ‘highly risky’. By playing in them, you can lose all your money! What is so very ‘good’ in this? It’s another matter that this has not happened to anybody so far and that you can control the situation through Yesterday’s Transaction - all that is so. But we are still not giving any guarantees in connection with them. You may win, but you may also lose!
So the phrase ‘all this is too good’ rather means that you have simply read the Rules ‘too’ superficially, and therefore probably on the spur of the moment decided that we guarantee 100% profit a month here for everybody. That is far from being the case!

And, finally, another thing. The stereotypes are too strong in you. You seem to see the ghosts of financial pyramids everywhere, in which people are first lured having been given intrinsically unrealistic promises, and then the organizers disappear together with their money. And so you are looking for some kind of catch here. There is none here.
And that is so, because the situation itself is totally different. The ‘catch’ is in the situation itself. Please note that we have not given anybody any promises. Why should we want to disappear then? Money? But we could have it at any moment anyway, and what’s more, on totally legal grounds and without running away from anybody. How? In a very simple way: by decreasing the prices of shares. Since according to the Rules of the game we can do that at any moment.
We definitely can do so, but are we going to? A pilot can also destroy his plane and all the passengers, but never does it, does he? Why? Why should he? And why should we ‘destroy our plane’? At a time when during normal ‘flight’ the prospects ahead of us are genuinely fabulous? That would practically mean the end of the game, its failure. Collapse. There will be no chance to ‘start the engine’ again and fly up for the second time.
So in practice not only will we never lower prices unless absolutely necessary, but if need be, we will work - while making a loss and investing our own money on trying to keep the business going. At any price! Since there will be no second chance like this one, and we fully understand that.

Do you want guarantees? The only real guarantee is the total unison of our and your interests! Everything else is worth nothing. Is it possible that you have not understood that even after the recent events on world financial markets?
All in all, we are in this together. And that determines everything. This is the main thing. Try and be aware of that after all. And the sooner that happens the better.
