The Metaverse Casino That Wasn’t
Hodder explains that because ICE Poker is a peer-to-peer game, where there is no “house” that always wins, “the decentralized nature moves the legal issues away from the appearance of gambling.” And the focus on skill matters. “If the ability to win depends on chance or luck, it’s more likely to be considered gambling,” says Hodder, “whereas if the outcome depends entirely on the user’s skill and abilities as a player, it’s less likely to be considered as gambling.” (The counter-argument, I imagine, is that buying the wearable itself counts…

As the concept of “the metaverse” continues to evolve beyond virtual reality gaming, and as digital communities begin to form, we need to be mindful of the difference between actual Web3 games versus “gamified” social forums, and agree on what types of behavior each should allow.

According to the report, the exchanges were initially given a grace period…
