barbjb: What exactly is the point of Career Earnings ???
I consider this a swindle because the WGT T&C state:
WGT Credits do not have monetary value and are not redeemable for money at any time.
Therefore it's pointless to display credits gained by a player as "dollars", they aren't. More than that, it creates the wrong impression that players might gain real money from the game. It may provoke desires, perhaps greed, it may be one reason for cheating here.
Nevertheless, it should be a good tool to fulfill at least one goal here, ROI for the company.
