What is kabam's stance on appcoin?

Thebigsucc

I'm a f2p player that lost all my units at the grandmaster and I was wandering if I'm allowed to transfer my appcoin credits to mcoc or if that Is against tos and I get banned. Pls tell me if I am allowed to use appcoin on the game

TheBair123

chances are if you're using a third party then it's against the tos

If you can use them to buy units through the game I can't see why that would be an issue.

@Thebigsucc I don’t know. I don’t even know what AppCoin is. You’re better off asking the support team if they would allow this. We don’t even know if it’s against Terms of Service despite it has the potential to buy units. Is it some kind of digital currency you earn by doing something on AppCoin and then convert those digital currencies to real world currencies?

You can't circumvent the game with outside sources, so I'd say you can't use them. If they hold some sort of value, sell them, and use the money to buy in game items. People were banned for buying units at a reduced price from an add on their own facebook profile. Why risk your account? Play by their rules and don't try to game or cheat the system.

This game is a casino style game. Would a casino let you play with anything other than their chips?

Not entirely true. You can use Google Play points to get units. Every 250 you can get a Peter parkers Wallet. It's technically an outside source, but it's also integrated into the game itself.

Officially, Kabam's stance on this sort of this has always been that they officially support anything the respective App stores themselves officially support as a part of their in-app purchase programs. If Apple started accepting cheese as currency, Kabam would as well. Things like the Google Play points system is integrated into Google Play itself, and thus is valid. I do not believe either Apple or Google support AppCoins in their respective app stores, so those cannot be used for in-app purchases for MCOC.

I'm not an expert on AppCoins, but my understanding is that the only way you can use those is if the software you are using comes from a supported App store (and I don't think Apple app store or Google play store support AppCoins) or if the application itself directly supports AppCoins in its own transaction system (and MCOC does not at the moment nor is it likely to any time soon).

Mandatory disclaimer: Forum Guardians are not Kabam employees and do not speak for Kabam. Anything I say is my own opinion or judgment, and does not represent any official statement by Kabam.

I'd happily accept cheese as a currency. Cheese is life.
