When do games get annulled?

Here are 2 situations when the game gets annulled:
(1) When one player leaves a game for good (e.g. does not reconnect in time), the server analyzes the position at game interruption, and the game will get annulled IF the remaining player does not have preferred statistical winning chances.
(2) All games are timed and their timing is measured by the game server. All player moves need to be received by the game server on a timely basis.
When the server-recorded time-per-move for one player's expires, after a while the opponent will receive a 'game control' dialog allowing to annul the game or to take a win if the statistical chances in the game at interruption would allow taking a win.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
