Thousands of adult players in Australia were angry after McDonalds
blocked them from playing games like poker, roulette and blackjack
at the Neopets' website, seven.com.au reported.

The controversy started when McDonalds Australia included a plush

directing kids to the Neopets website.

McDonalds announced it blocked gambling content on Neopets.com after
parents raised concerns that one of the cute characters at the website
teaches children the rules of poker and blackjack.
