Should they introduce gambling with real money into online video

>>378212084
For instance winning a Mario Kart round and earning the money.

It could raise the stakes of playing.

Online gambling already exists

You'd never be able to do it on a console the way you're suggesting, laws regarding minors and gambling and shit like that. They take these restrictions very seriously

Online gambling games have been a thing ever since internet existed

>>378212084
That's a lot of autism you have there.

>>378212084
Not until there's a guaranteed way to prevent hackers/cheaters

Taxes and licensing are the issues here.

Players would have to jump through hoops in order to legally pay (sign up using SSN/TIN and such), and the companies would have to maintain and distribute a ton of records in order to legally host.

That said, they should totally do this with fake money though. Points. All games from a given company should have universal points which can be accumulated and shared among them, and each game should have shops to buy items or other junk with them.

If you want some info on the subject, check out Valve's last... say 5 years? Numerous videos covering how and what Valve and the community did and still does.

"Git Gud".

Any game with chests or RNG is gambling so basically every game in existence

What about saltybet?

The games would only be hosted by casinos (either online or in a LAN party) because anyone else would need to get all the required licenses, security measures and pay a fuck ton of taxes.

great idea! lets get this implemented across the board asap

Gambling is actually very heavily regulated, and getting caught doing it illigally gets you into big trouble.

So publishers have been slowly finding ways to make stuff just as addictive as gambling and bring in real money without technically being gambling. Basically slot machines that take real money but never produce anything with actual value, FIFA Ultimate team cards are worthless in the real world but EA preyed on kids using Skinner box techniques and gets people to part with 100s of dollars on top of already buying the game.

They use almost every trick in the book
> drawn out colourful opening animations
> currency conversion so it's harder to work out exactly how much you are spending
> limited time offer deals with clocks counting down

They Litterally hire people who specialise in psychology and find the exact scientifically proven ways to manipulate people into spending money. All without any of the laws and oversight actual gambling has

Didn't Black Ops do this?
I remember you had the option to bet low or high, depending on how skilled and determined you were in winning a FFA match. Even if you lost you could always grab more dosh through regular Multiplayer matches.

No anon, it's immoral and harmful. Think of all the children who could become gambling addicts and spend all their own and their parents' money on something that requires minimal effort from the developers!

you are fucking retarded, the implications and involved behind all this is insane.

>>378212084
>Should they

They (assuming you means devs and publishers) should do whatever the fuck they think can make them money.

But, given all the restrictions and logistics involved with running an online gambling operation, I doubt it's something you're going to see any time soon.

>>378212084
thats illegal

>>378212084
Steam would unironically do this if there weren't laws preventing it.
Crates and its market is as much gambling as you can get right now.

They already do to some extent.

This is a fantastic idea.

>>378212084
Legal problems, it's not that it's impossible, it just would cut your audience my a huge margin.
