correct!!


its not illegal to own a refil key however it is illegal to use it on any gaming machine not owned by the person using the key

Obviously wasn't on about you there mate but some people just don't know when to be told. I have heard about people being done using them. But maybe some people have more *ahem* knowledge than others lol

the chav as u so put it didn't pay but his parents did


what do u mean what happens if a chav gets caught?

if u mean the chav in question,i detained him on the ground of obtaining free credits ect & i contacted the police who came and arrested him and later he ws charged as stated in my above post

[mrmystery83]

No mate, i didn't know if it was a chav or not. I just meant if it was they're always skint so wondered how they'd pay it off. Bet his parents were pleased. I remember when these first came out, people were paying a fortune for them and there were all these promises of making easy money. A lot of sellers didn't mention the risks involved. I do know people that still use them. But not all the time.

that bbc show said that the use of refill keys was LEGAL not illegal, get your facts right!

I can't imagine anyone getting done for just using a key, why bother calling the police if all they are going to do is confiscate the key...

You guys seem to think its such a big offence keying - rubbish, the police don't care, NO ONE THINKS THIS IS A BIG OFFENCE, SO MANY PEOPLE DO IT, why would you call the police over it.

These keys can be bought for under £1, why even bother confiscating it.

Well watch the clip on You Tube then. Get YOUR facts right. As has already been said on this thread it is legal to OWN not USE these keys. People do get prosecuted for using them, read a few posts above! It is THEFT. You may as well rip open the cashdoor with a crowbar.

Go ask some players what happens when you get caugh keying a machine, very very rarely they actually do something apart from telling you not to come back etc.
