9-Ball Break Problem

The way I understand the rules of 9-ball, in a multi-game match, the winner should break. It is technically still his/her shot. The tables on here don't seem to be following that rule.
who breaks in a multi-game match

Current GC pool rules follow the published rules of Billiards Congress of America. By default, breaks alternate from game to game. If an option 'loser breaks' is chosen, then the loser breaks in the next game. We will, however consider adding 'winner breaks' option.

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.
