A betting app where you gamble video game points instead of money. So missing the entire reason betting apps exist.
Initially, but the article mentioned they aren’t ruling out real money in future. I think they likely want to get a broad user base first, then start offering the really exciting bets for small amounts of money, eventually leading to larger sums.
well there will be points <-> usd exchange just like japanese casinos which are totally not gambling and just let you win toys - don't mind the "we buy toys" shop right next door. This strategy is as old as time itself. Once you have this layer you can do so much manipulation and obfuscation.
