# V2 Cosmetic Wagering Thresholds

V2 cosmetic wagering is a launch-limited broadcast feature. It uses Drop
currency only, has no real-money cash-out, cannot reduce a purchased balance,
and auto-disables when a jurisdictional review cannot confirm that the current
configuration stays below gambling thresholds.

## Baseline Controls

- No real-money stake, cash prize, cash-out, resale bridge, or marketplace value
  is allowed for wagered items.
- Odds are hidden from player purchase flows and cannot imply monetary value.
- Purchased premium balances cannot be lost through a wager.
- Every wager stores match id, event id, jurisdiction, Drop amount, displayed
  odds state, outcome, and reviewer override state for audit.
- Regions with loot-box or gambling uncertainty default to disabled until legal
  approves a local rule file.

## Auto-Disable Triggers

The feature disables for a region when any of the following is true:

- cosmetics become transferable for money or money's worth;
- a platform requires a lower cap or disallows the feature;
- the player is a minor account or parental controls block wagering;
- the local rule file is missing, expired, or rejected by compliance;
- a regulator, platform, or legal reviewer flags the feature for hold.

## Audit Trail

Audit events retain the immutable wager record, match record, published rule
file version, region rule id, and reviewer decision. Records use the same
subject-home residency route as other account privacy data unless a regulator
requires local retention.
