The pokemanz games have gambling and they are just 8+ . But I suppose they do only have slots.
Gaia Online is another hugely successful 13+ game/community/thing, and they have a nice casino, lol.

Well, you see, there is a difference.

Real Munniez ≠ Fake Munniez

Gambling laws only apply when you're actually gambling something.

And how will we verify? Anyone can give false info you know...
It's called a credit card/check number. a lot of places do this, and you don't need to charge them anything, called a verification charge, aka, $0.00 appears from whoever was checking to ensure it was real, if at all.

Um i love this game and have played plenty, donated thru payplal before so i would trust emi with a credit check.

BUT, some people arnt as trusting as i am and some people WHO are of age dont use credit cards or any plastic. so what do we do there?

Well, there's always the option of not letting them use the Casino section. Remember, the place will be nearly inconsequential, so it is completely up to them whether they want to do what it takes to gain access.

This goes for any method a designer may choose for verification, not just credit cards.

Of course, there may be less objectable methods for verification that greatly smallificates the group of potential skeptics. But there will always be a group that does not want to do that which you may ask of them. It is just a question of how big of a group is too big.

uh..in US, even online gambling of ANY sort is 18+, period. And as I said..we advertise the game as family-friendly. A lot of religions forbid any sort of gambling, so not exactly the smartest thing then, that was my point.
Wow, really?

We could just have lame arcade games for bonuses, or something like that, right?  Opps

I said online gambling, lol. So places that have poker/black jack/ect and you can gamble. Since the gaia/pokemon games use stuff that can only be used in game, those are considered minigames, because US lawmakers are weird like that. I was merely pointint it out as something to keep in mind if we do it. I'm personally all for it.
