I have no clue if this has been suggested before but, its a unique idea.

So hear me out, there should be a betting section or some type of sub-forum for bets. The bets can consist of sporting events or even esports events. I thought it was a pretty cool idea and should maybe be considered.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

I'm just going to say this Mick only creates categories when there is already a big demand. As well as the legal aspects of allowing bets of a website since you will have to get a "Gambling License" to be able to take bets/offer a platform for people to bet. Another problem is a lot of people on Mc-Market are underage and if they add this they could be exposing minors to underage gambling. But if they some how manage to get through all those hurdles how are they going to make sure people are over the age of 18/21.

Opening a gambling section on here is not a very good idea. I would not recommend it.
Minecraft's userbase is largely made up of younger people, who shouldn't be exposed to the gambling scene.

At first I thought it was a good idea, but you're completely right. Minecraft is mostly played by children, so most likely it’s not worth it. Although now many students put their skins from CSGO or Dota, which is not surprising.

Confirm on-site, or don't idrc.

Most people here are under 18.
Betting is illegal in some countries I'm pretty sure.
Most countries have different betting laws than others, making it extremely hard to do it legally.
People could easily just not pay up their bet.
Wouldn't fit MCM's theme/agenda.
Not necessarily needed.

These are just some of the reasons that have come to my mind within a few minutes of reading this thread. Betting, especially on MCM, is the least needed thing now. Then you would have to have staff watch that area and verify people there are 18/21+, which creates a heck ton more work for everyone overall, which wouldn't be worth it.

I showed Daigan this first after I retired from Connect 4 after winning like $100-200, but there's a great app called Plato where you can play games similar to those on GamePigeon + more, and you can play with people around the world regardless of whether they have iOS or Android. If someone made an MCM group chat, people could join and send games / bet on their own accord in the chat. Other than that, it's hard to verify age on here, and I doubt Mick wants to get in legal trouble over this, so it's probably gonna get denied.
