🔒 Legal Considerations

This is currently a free-to-play prediction game with no real-money gambling. To add SOL betting:

• Consult a lawyer (gambling laws vary by jurisdiction)
• Consider launching in crypto-friendly regions first
• Implement KYC/AML if required
• Use "skill-based" framing (prediction, analysis)
• Age verification (18+)
