Skill vs. chance sounds like a simple distinction. Legally, it’s anything but.

Determining whether a game is truly skill-based can require a close look at the mechanics, how outcomes are determined, and the role chance plays throughout the game.

For gaming companies, getting that analysis right can have major implications for where and how a product can operate.

Your game may be compliant, but can you prove it?

App stores and payment processors often want more than a company’s assurance that a gaming product is legal. They may require a legal opinion or other documentation supporting how the game is classified and where it can operate.

Jacobs Counsel can provide the legal analysis you need to launch and scale your game. Contact us for a consultation.
