Gaming is a human activity opposite to his labor activity. The market aspect of gaming activity develops in two relatively independent directions: in the form of gambling and in the form of a game for money. Gambling is directly related to the financial market and is a direct redistribution of funds, for example, between participants in the stock, currency, derivatives markets. Game for money is a game as an object of purchase and sale. In this case, the gaming industry appears as a dual unity of the market for games as goods and the market for gaming services. The economic specificity of the game-for-money market is that its main users are nonworking children and adolescents, and payment for the game is made from the financial income of their working parents. Thanks to this, the market dramatically expands the circle of its customers, even at the expense of insolvent consumers.
