This means that every point loss or gain is immediately posted to the game account of user 1 or debited from the game account. When the user 1 has used up all the points on his gaming account, the calculator module withdraws the access authorization for the content area from the user 1. Two more examples of points earned by the user are described below:

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes de jeux en ligne et doit permettre au client/à l'utilisateur d'obtenir, pour la somme respectivement payée, un certain bilan pendant la phase de jeu. Le procédé selon l'invention est fondé sur le fait qu'un système de points est à la base de chaque jeu. Selon l'invention, une somme d'argent créditée à partir d'une table de prix adaptée aux différents jeux du système de jeux est convertie par un module de calcul, en points de jeux. Ces points de jeux sont crédités au client sur un compte de jeux. Le compte de jeux du client est, pendant toute la durée du jeu, toujours adapté à l'état de jeu actuel, par le module de calcul. Le procédé selon l'invention peut, en particulier, être mis en oeuvre pour des systèmes de jeux en ligne à plusieurs joueurs.
