Q re: naming policy/casino

There is someone running a casino

They have the word "casino" in both their username and their guild names.

Although they (seem) to have stopped advertising in chat channels, they sit in a prominent place, and occasionally say things like "." as people pass.

So... considering their intentions are obvious, both via user & guild name (and their previous advertising) I was just wondering if this is ok?

I'm curious as to where the line is drawn.

I suppose I'm going to get told to lodge a ticket to find out, but not wanting to farther clog up the ticket system, I thought I'd ask here first in case someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for any advice on this :D

Q u o t e:
Are in-game casinos against the rules?

While players may opt to privately run or participate in an in-game casino, advertising for this particular practice is not permitted in-game or on our forums in any form. Casino advertisements can degrade the quality of the environment we want to provide for our players and thus are not appropriate for the World of Warcraft.

Please feel free to report any casino or gambling-based advertisements you see within public chat channels to the Game Master department. You may do so by submitting an in-game petition or by right-clicking on the name of the advertiser and selecting the "Report Spam" option. When submitting an in-game petition, please be sure to include the advertising character's name and realm, as well as a brief description of the chat you witnessed.

Should you find a casino advertisement on our forums, you can bring it to our attention by clicking the red 'bio-hazard' symbol in the upper right corner of the post.
