Hi,
Would it be illegal to place a bet with virtual money?
You cant get this virtual money with real money or exchange it with real money.
You can only get it through a bet that you win or with some actions like opening a user account in the website etc.
No real money involved in any circumstances.
It seems to me like an online mmorpg. The only thing you get is points (virtual money)
But I may be missing somethings.
Any help would be appreeciated.
Regards.

If the money is in no way (however convoluted) able to be converted to "real" money, then there should be no problem. (General answer based on your broad question)

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.
There may be a monthly fee just to use some extra features of the website but it has nothing to do with that virtual money. In no (convoluted) way you can make the virtual money real money.
