This is just a concept looking to document and expand.
So, I went onto a parkour server and it was awful to me. Parkour server's are one of those things that at least for me, get old. Running and jumping over and over. And raging. I also noticed it's pretty difficult to make them pay to win or to turn a profit from them, probably why I never see them around.
I got to thinking about how one could make money from a parkour type server, and this general idea could be applied to many server types.
Everyone wants money, and nobody wants to work. So why not make this happen? Players do parkour and if they are able to win, can make money. The catch? It costs to start the parkour. For example, a player types a command and PayPal automatically takes $1 from their account. They then get 5 chances to complete the parkour, and every time they fall, it removed a chance. If they beat the parkour, $2 automatically get's deposited into their account, but if they fail all 5 times they just loose their dollar.
There would obviously have to be countless protection measurements to prevent fraud and cheating. Some of these could be an advanced anti cheat, admin notification when a player is on an abnormal streak, not able to complete the same course multiple times as well as random screenings and all winning parkour players logged.
I'm also thinking you are able to do every course for free if wanted without reward, for practice or for those who can't afford it or just want to have fun.
Feel free to expand upon the idea in the replies, show support or any deflects/why you wouldn't want to play this.
Update 1:
This is in no way gambling and 100% legal. Gambling is the wagering of money on something with an uncertain outcome. This is completely skill based
.
I'm sure somebody, somehow will be able to exploit this, so if this server gets put up, there will definitely be income caps per player, in a time span, and suspicious activity will be notified and reviewed. If a fraud is detected, using the PayPal API, it's possible to take back any money sent to the player while, as stated in the terms of service, we would reserve the right to keeping all money paid to us. So cheaters WILL be caught, and WILL loose money.
Also, if a player would ever to charge back, I'll have the server automatically take back any money sent to them and have them permanently banned from the server.
