01FliffC1-JDirect public evidence

Granted element

Minimal or zero-real-world-value pseudo-currency

Company disclosure

Fliff states that Fliff Coins "are used to play for fun", "cannot be transferred outside the game and cannot be redeemed for prizes"; separately, Fliff Cash "does not have cash value" until play-through conditions are satisfied.

Why this matters

The granted patent expressly addresses wagering conducted with a pseudo-currency having minimal or zero real-world value. Fliff's own documentation describes a wagering currency in those terms.

Granted element

Allocation of credits to a wager

Company disclosure

ReBet publishes guidance directing users which of the two currencies to use for a given play, and the application allows the user to switch between them.

Why this matters

The granted patent distinguishes user operation according to the economic characteristics of the wagering credits. Express user-facing selection between a zero-value and a redeemable currency is the clearest public expression of that distinction.

What this ranking does not say

Correspondence is not infringement

A strong correspondence record establishes that a company publicly describes a function that aligns with a specific granted limitation. It does not establish that the company performs every limitation of any independent claim, and no such conclusion is drawn here. The limitations that remain unestablished across the reviewed market are set out on the patent white space page.
