Is the virtual currency of the game no longer illegal
there is no discussion about virtual currency or game currency. Whether it is illegal or not is not the focus here.
Buying and selling online game currency is against the law
under normal circumstances, the game currency won by players in the game can not be realized. The game currency can only be circulated in the game. If you want to get the game currency, you can only recharge it in RMB. This belongs to one-way circulation, so it is only a game. And players can earn game money from other players, and then sell it to other players, its nature has been equivalent to gambling
businessmen in online games buy and sell not game equipment, but game currency that is only used in the game. The special point is that they open up the channel for exchanging game currency and RMB, thus turning online games into casinos
extended information:
playing online game "equipment" is very important, many game players do not hesitate to invest a lot of money in game equipment. However, some illegal elements have taken the opportunity to set up a fraud, using online transactions to defraud players' money
in the transaction of virtual procts such as game equipment, fraudsters will first issue "low price sale" of game equipment, game currency or game account in the game to attract players, especially "junior" game players. Once the buyer pays, the other party will directly close the account and disappear
so when trading game equipment or game accounts on the Internet, you must use the official or authorized third-party platform of the game to trade. If the game itself is not operated or authorized to a third-party platform, you'd better consult the official customer service of the game to find the officially recognized trading channel
at present, there has been a large-scale hot debate on whether virtual property transaction and virtual currency will impact the existing financial system and whether it should be prohibited or recognized by legislation. Relevant enterprises appeal to national legislatures and management departments to speed up legislation and strengthen supervision, and put an end to illegal underground transactions and stolen goods sales. Relevant authorities have also expressed their opinions, but no substantive policies and regulations have been issued
all participants are still waiting for policies or regulations, and the virtual property transaction has not stopped
in the era of Internet economy, there is no essential difference between the nature of virtual property and the money in the bank account. At present, there is only the essential difference whether it can be traded. The reality is that these deals are very popular. Foreign examples also show that simple prohibition is not really effective. But China has not recognized the virtual property so far. In the previous cases, the loss of weapons and equipment was attributed to the loopholes of the server and the dereliction of ty of the operators, and the legal nature of virtual property was not involved.
