Well, that is precisely the problem. No one on the network will confirm a 175 mB transaction for a fee of 0.0001 BTC. Yet they re-broadcasted it after it was pruned the first time. Those transactions will never get confirmed, this is moving towards a flat out scam.
I wouldn't call it a scam. It worked for awhile and gambling sites took advantage to save on the TX fee while also keeping their micro bettors / withdrawals happy. Something does need to be changed though... might be best to create another thread on this subject to get more exposure
