I have just played a game where the 8 ball was potted but my last ball was used to do this.A foul was indicated but the game was awarded to my opponent. Is this right? (there was no ladder position at stake or tickets, the question is just for information)

Per rules, the 8-ball game is lost upon ... 'Pocketing the 8-ball on the same shot as the last of the player's group of balls'.

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.
