Abstract

A system and method to allow players of a video game to form binding, enforceable, contracts with one another. In some contracts, a first player can agree, explicitly or implicitly, to provide a second player with an initial playing advantage in return for deferred compensation. The deferred compensation may be based on the second player's performance in the game.
