Can I win money/wager on Game Lounge games?

Yes, certain games will allow you to wager money or tokens in Progressive Tournaments, Head-to-Head Tournaments, or Challenges. You must first register for a Game Lounge account and carry a positive cash and/or token balance. They are games in the "Cash and Prizes" category.

DirecTV is opienng up a HUGE can of worms here.. I am understanding this as D* basically giving you a way to gamble... not that I am against the idea or anything.. but I wonder if this is even legal for them to do?

In some states it is illegal. From what I understand, the "gambling" portion of the service will only work in states where it is legal.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I was a DISH subscriber and had DishGames with them. This will fill the DishGames void for me:bounce

D* Currently has a feature simular to this in TVG, which allows real time horse race gambling. That channel has been carried for years.
 
hi,
can not wait play the games.
when will the games start?

They already have, goto channel 110, subscribe to it, then you can create a game profile, or, if you don't want to subscribe or make a profile, you can just goto channel 110 and play the trials.

You must have a receiver capable of Active.
 
the receivers are supposed to be connected to active phone lines to be able to play game lounge according to directv. currently some of the d10 and d11 have access and u have to have the white universal remote with the colored buttons to utilize it. im not sure whether or not the harmony remotes work but u can give a try.
 
I don't have a phone line connected and the game lounge still works on my D11s. It isn't supported by the R15 yet. I guess the phone line is to make a profile and bet cash with the gambling games.
 
still dont work on my D11-100, D11-500, R15
and they are all conectec to a phone
shows not available yet

They did note that if you get the message [when tuning into channel 110] "Coming Soon", that it WILL support it, they have just not [yet] rolled out to your area and/or for your model.

It also said, if your model will NEVER support it, you will get a Channel Not Available message when you try to key in 110.

Of course the D11 and R15 will indeed suppport it, so take that for what it's worth.

Please tell us what version firmware you are running.

FWIW, I have it on my D10-100s and D10-200.
 
i dont know , cant find any new software, info
about the D11-100 and the d11-500
as for the r15 its 10e8
