Virtual chips with no real value: why it is not betting
On IS Casino you play with virtual chips that have no monetary value: they cannot be withdrawn, converted into money, exchanged for prizes, goods or services, or transferred. No round involves money, and nothing that happens in the game turns into money.

What chips are
Chips are a game feature: a personal, limited, non-transferable licence to use the service. Every balance shown — including large amounts, “jackpots” and the bingo pot — is always virtual chips.
What chips are not
- Not money, a deposit, credit or a means of payment.
- Cannot be withdrawn or refunded as cash.
- Cannot be exchanged for prizes, goods, services or crypto.
- Cannot be sold, lent or transferred between accounts or outside the service.
Why that matters
A bet, in the common legal sense, means risking something of value to receive something of value. On IS Casino there is nothing of value to receive: a round only changes a balance of virtual chips that never leaves the game. It is a social entertainment game, like other games with virtual coins.

What about Telegram Stars purchases?
Chip packs and VIP can be bought with Telegram Stars. That only buys playing time: purchased chips follow the same rules as all others, cannot be withdrawn or exchanged, and buying never changes the odds of any game. Purchases are optional.
