If you pay to play something and there is a prize involved, it’s considered gambling and a license is required. Like Marx said, some states it’s insane what the cost is for a license. Not worth it to them, everyone should understand this. IF you use a VPN and won a prize, legally they would not be able to ship you a prize. Everyone must realize there is a cost to do business. There is a cost to run the site. They lost half of the country basically, so not having “free play” in hopes people in states that can still play that used to play free will go ahead and pay now. I hope that people that are in this boat do pay to play. The more people that pay to play will allow them to purchase licenses in other states based on the revenue they will generate. Everyone is kind of in this together, while some are bummed and upset, I can assure you the whole Pulp MX team does not want to be in this boat either. Some of the comments I have seen on this post and in the Instagram comments are insane. Ya’ll need to check your selves and remember all the content and game play you have not had to pay for over the years. Be thankful. 

I don’t play Pulp Fantasy. I should say I play loosely. I put my picks in 50% of them time, but I pay to support Steve and the team. Pulp does a lot for this community, and this is coming from someone that has another Podcast and media outlet.

I love the dolts that think they found a work around by using a VPN but don't realize that they will not be able to collect any winnings. "I'm sure Steve will send my bike to Florida. he doesn't mind going to jail." 

 

Myself, I'm trying to look at this as a positive. I was doing the paid league, paying for expert picks and the Industry Idiots league. This season should be a lot less stressful. I'm going to try a novel approach and just enjoy the racing.

Seems sketchy that the bottom fell out a week before A1, looking around for other platforms but coming up short. Has PULP made a statement regarding this? I am not seeing anything but the postings on this thread, nothing on the Fantasy site

What happens if someone from an illegal state wins a prize?  Does a person need to be a legal resident of a state to collect?  How will the private leagues be affected?  I have always paid for the pulp championship, but my friends and I have had out own pay league.

These white knights on here know only to defend Indians. They have no Idea that different Indian tribes killed and raped and murdered other Indian tribes for land. They have been trained to think that if white folk do it, its bad. 

Actually, you're wrong that people don't know.  

Just like white people have been killing one another in Europe for thousands of years before and hundreds after they colonized North America from Spain, England, the Netherlands, France, Russia and carried on here against other races.  Not many times across history when the group with a leg up hasn't taken resources from others, same on other continents.There's no inherent virtue in any group of humans.

Alas, it's not letting me sign up from California (tried both Safari and Firefox, which allowed location).

Is there going to be a “vitalmx paid league” on the plupmx deal again? 
I liked being in that one last year. 

I’ve been waiting for the Pulp site to go live but now with the limited states, I’m not sure if it’ll be worth the hassle.

Florida seems to be the only big moto state that is banned. As a percentage of users, this may not be that big of a change. Throw in the extra publicity, and VPN use, might be just a mild change in number of users.

How pissed will somebody be if they use a VPN to play from a state you aren’t allowed, and wins the 450. Gotta get creative I guess. I’m assuming this won’t impact the privateer raffle? That would really suck. That brings a ton of money to those guys. 

This was my first thought, will the privateer raffle be affected. Would be a massive blow to the guys who need it most.

First off, Uncle  Marx is awesome, nothing against Steve and friends...that being said...

....I do not get how Pulpmxfantasy is gambling and thus falls under gambling restrictions.

I pay $40 to COMPETE against other people for prizes. Its a COMPETITION.

Its no different than if I am a local pro mxer and sign up and race to compete against other pros for an mx purse! If I am an amateur and  sign up at a local track to race and all I get is a trophee, how is this different then the $40 I pay to Pulp to maybe get a set of tires?

Not gambling. Falls under fantasy sports which is now and has been regulated on a state by state basis for some time.
 

Not surprising . When there’s money to be made, there’s money to be collected by our government. Some politician(s) likely sent cease and desist letters out to fantasy company’s that didn’t pay the license fee to operate legally.

Unfortunately, they caught on to us.

I enjoy the game enough that I would pay $ every season to play pulp fantasy with NO prizes involved or implied. Just a pay for play online game.

So I was looking at the list and how much it costs per state to obtain a lic. Here in Arizona it was saying 2k to obtain a lic for a year. If that’s all it is I think it would be beneficial and cost effective for them. States like rode island,Wyoming ect dosent seem like a ton of people that would be intrested in it with little riding. I’m  sure there is more to it but that’s just most of us looking from the outside in….

Listen to the Renthal Reaction pod.....it explains it all including why the announcement was so late.  They have been trying to work around it with attorneys etc and had to use this plan until something changed.  

ML, how is this impacting the new Vital league???  It seems like it would need the same restrictions since you are offering a paid and premium subscription?

So I know there’s a bunch of people saying just use a VPN. Anyone confirm that it will work with just a VPN? It won’t look at any other means for geolocation determination? 
Cause from what I was just googling, it seems like a lot of gambling sites use software to detect VPN location fraud

12/31/2023 9:15am

Something tells me they will sniff out the vpn. 
  When you pay that has an address attached. Also prizes shipped etc. could get messy. 
  My only current solution is to have a relative or buddy in an eligible state. 
  Yes this blows. I have played fantasy since denny started moto x dream back in the dark ages of dial up. 🥹
