Yea I think its new to 1.10. It used to be the same way awhile ago in D2 Classic. In fact, thats how I got my SOJ's in classic (don't get me wrong I only had about 6-10 of them from gambling). So far in 1.10 after giving up a few million clams to Gheed his cheep ass gave me a 5% Mandal and a Telling of beads amulet.
