What are the options to organize trade between players for real money?

Question

Law in IT

The question is for those who understand the economic / tax legislation of the Russian Federation and / or other countries (primarily the USA and Europe, as well as China).
What options are there to organize legal trade in game items/game currency between players for real money? (meaning for a conditional game, the owner / developer of which I am; the question is not on the technical side, but on the legal side)
Now most online games prohibit transactions between players for real in their rules. I'd like to know:

• it's because of the difficulties with the law
  
• or just out of a desire to maintain a monopoly on the sale of in-game items...
  

If the first, then what are the difficulties on the part of the legislation?

Answer 1

In order to do this legally, it is necessary to somehow qualify these items for tax purposes.
These can be both the results of intellectual activity and services (according to the well-known mail.ru case, such things were qualified as services, but everything may depend on the situation. From your information, I don’t see anything terrible in terms of the legality of such trade. The main thing is what any state is interested in is taxes.If you pay - trade for your own health.According to our standards, from the income of an individual received from another individual, tax must be paid by such an individual.As
for the organizer of the platform for trading, then it may have its own taxes (for example, on proceeds from agency fees) - it all depends on the model.
Game makers are really trying to maintain a monopoly, because. it brings them income. If the income was brought by trade physical. faces with each other, I'm sure everything would be the other way around;)
