      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.
