Kinda of.
Winnings means anything won, whether or not money or moneys worth. Money’s worth is considered by the
Commission to be broad and to include, but not necessarily be limited to, anything convertible to or tradable for money
Quick question.
In order not to fall foul of the UK regulations I think that the points gambled and won have to have no monetry value either as in money or moneys worth.
So if people can buy points to buy a membership upgrade or buy points for other shop items, then this could cause a problem?
Because if someone gambled and won points, these points would be classed as moneys worth because they could be used to purchase something in the shop which other members have paid for by buying points to make the purchase of that shop item.
I think you would need to hide the shop and any items of value
From what those PDF's say it is ok to purchase points if the only winnings is more points that have no £££ value and are used to regamble
It would be good if the betting app was standalone or the shop was not accessible
But if this is the case how could someone purchase points in order to gamble?
