Social "gaming" site is all about betting.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the main activity on this social gaming site is betting (with virtual currency.) The site prompts registered users to provide their email address and email password so that invitations can be sent to contacts. Users should avoid this by clicking "do it later" instead of entering their information.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
There are some questions about sex, like "who has the hottest body" or "who would you rather have sex with?" There's no outright nudity, but a few photos come pretty close.
Language:
Some profanity in questions and comments, including f--k.
Consumerism:
The point of the site is winning as many BluBucks as possible through betting and playing games. There are lots of ads and links to third-party sites. Users can buy tokens with real money, or can "earn" tokens by purchasing goods from outside sites or filling out surveys that disclose personal information.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some users talk about getting drunk or high. "Gifts" include beers and glasses of champagne.
