Hi,

We have a need to implement two way payments into a game, to be able to run cash tournaments, where players can use their skill to win real cash.

How is the virtual currency system of playfab suitable to be modded to support payments made by us (the game provider) to the player for returning virtual currency he accumulated, in addition to payments made by the player to us for buying the virtual currency.

Thanks,

Andre

Hi Andre,

Right now, PlayFab does not support payments out to players directly, though our virtual economy system is designed to be secure by default for all titles (you can optionally trust the client for operations to add and subtract virtual currencies, but that eliminates the security of the virtual economy, which is why it's off by default). So it's certainly possible to use PlayFab's commerce service to support such a system - the element which would need to be added is the actual payments out to the players. This is, of course, the hardest part of the equation, given all the laws and regulations around this. But since we prioritize based upon the needs of our development community, this is the right place for your feature suggestion, so that others can vote on it. Thanks for bringing it up!

Thanks for your explanation. If there are any plans to develop the feature, would be nice to know, in the meantime I'll look at other solutions. Thanks,

We have a need also to implement two way payments into a game, to be able to run cash tournaments, where players can use their skill to win real cash.

Is this implemented?
