I noticed I could lay off cards from my hand that had being melted, into the knocking players melds. Is this right? what purpose would that serve at all? or does it increase my deadwood?
why lay-off cards onto knocker’s nelds

The knocker's opponent has the privilege of ‘laying off’ any cards of his own deadwood that may be matched with any of the knocker’s melds in order to reduce the penalty value of his deadwood. This privilege does not apply if the knocker has a gin hand with no deadwood. When both players' cards are shown, the opponent of the knocker can lay-off or attach his own deadwood cards to opponent's melds by dragging the cards towards opponent's meld. If a knocking (ginning) player has a gin hand, still the same 'Knock' button has to be pressed and the extra 11-th card has to be discarded. The system will determine automatically whether it was a gin hand or not.
If the knocker has the lower count of deadwood, he scores the the difference between their values of deadwood. For gin, the knocker adds a 25 point bonus.

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.
