South Korea's Supreme Court has ruled that lottery agents may legally include free online game points as part of lottery promotional prizes. The judgment overturns previous decisions that had barred the use of virtual currency prizes in lottery promotions. This case centered on a lottery agent who provided prizes combining cash lotteries and free points for the popular mobile game 'Lineage M.' The Supreme Court clarified that such prizes do not violate existing lottery laws and that virtual game currency can be lawfully used in lottery-based promotions. This ruling resolves a long-standing legal ambiguity about whether online game points are permissible as lottery rewards under South Korean regulations. Lottery organizers and agents may now confidently offer virtual currency prizes alongside traditional cash or physical prizes, potentially opening new marketing opportunities in the gaming and lottery sectors within South Korea.
