diamond Marchant Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Does Linden Lab allow residents to create inworld games that use an in game currency that players use to purchase in game items? I am aware of several games that have a concept of experience points or in game currency, but these currencies typically are for bragging rights only. I don't see anything in TOS that prohibits using an in game currency for purchases. On an unrelated/maybe-related note, I learned today that the minimum bet at the high stakes blackjack table at Helios Casino is 800 chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalates Urriah Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I think Wastelands has in-game currency used for buying stuff in the game. Amazon River has in-game "coins" earned in various ways and used for purchasing food, weapons, etc. So... I would say yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When in doubt contact LL support directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistess Alpha Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Obviously don't take my word for it, but it's my understanding that as long as the things you can "buy" with your "currency" are no-transfer you're definitely safe. The ifs/ands/buts for other scenarios are a bit complicated and probably not worth the hassle of figuring out, since L$ works perfectly well for almost all use-cases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Don't know why, but I'm reminded of those sales gimmicks (advertised in comic books) from my youth, "Sell 50 boxes of Greeting Cards, choose any of these prizes!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I instantly felt old when I read this (cause I remember them). Stop that! I also remember Showbiz Pizza where you'd pay money for tokens to put into games to win tickets to cash in for crappy prizes which you couldn't just buy outright with cash. Talk about a runaround/ponzi scheme... Edited May 16, 2023 by Lucia Nightfire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
