I sure that developing a game would not require a license to do, so you could create many games or even gambling games as you like as long as you can or you have the knowledge to do it. Also as long as the game is involving money in the game like a bet it is already gambling in your case even if it is only for 1v1 but still involving money like a bet so I think you can call it gambling.

Good luck to your project you might only need them licensed if you are going to open a gambling website. So if you are planning to do that you might need a bit of research in your place about that.

You know that gambling is just wagering of money or any kind of things but the sequel is totally uncertain. so, I think the game you wanted to open that includes gambling, because look at the main point in your game two person will invest money uncertainly with the intention of winning money. so, your game includes gambling, but I think you don't need to have a gambling license, gambling license are required for casinos, not for apps.

Who will hold that mbtc? I mean if you are the person who is going to handle all financial related to your gambling activity then you must go for registering your business which will get you a licence to operate. If you just plan a gambling activity for this community then you may go for hiring an escrow to hold the funds and to distribute the funds. I mean if you are not planning a business but want to host some 1vs1 kind of gambling activity then you may go for escrow and obviously you do not need any licence to host.

I feel it is not about idea but you are asking about legal things. I was entering into this topic with the intention of suggesting you some innovative gambling ideas but you are looking for something irrelevant to gamblers. I also suggest you to go for consulting a local lawyer so that you will get more clear idea about licencing.

Don't get wrong with me but if you still don't know whether you need license or not to run casino, then, sorry but this isn't your niche.
Btw what kind of game do you plan to create? Do you have that much knowledge to do this alone or do you have a team of developers? Just buying script online and then running a website isn't a business.
Definitely you need a gambling license to run this kind of games. On another hand owning a license makes you a little bit serious among users (no one wants to play on not licensed casino because of dangers that are associated with scams and etc.

Good point! He didn't do a basic research about his idea (many members here had the same idea, to create a PvP game, but more than that we never hear). You asked a good question, what kind of game, is he alone in that, new or bought script... there are many questions and OP should have all this answer right on the beginning, and than to come here and present us his idea and how he plans to realize that idea.
Except poker, I don't play any other PvP game. It's not that I don't like it, it's because there aren't many PvP games (at least I don't know about them). Maybe someone should create a list of available PvP games for crypto of course!

 yeah it is still a gambling as long as there is money at stake and there are people betting or playing for that money  .

having a license is always a good idea and you can use this advantage over other many casinos that are illegal or doesnt have a license but still continue to operate underground   . lastly i like your idea of a head to head game or player vs player   . these type of gambling arent too much ,so you can also use this as an advanatage to gather hyped

(....)

Let's hope OP that is not misunderstood the game he/she mentioned. Since maybe what he/she mean about player vs player is like a poker or some card games for example that is only for 1 versus 1.
On first glance, after I read the OP especially the title of the thread, it seems like a new level gambling especially it needs personal skills to play with it, not by pure luck. And for sure since OP mentioned "developer idea", it's the kinda techy part where it will be developed from the scratch.

I hope he knows what gambling means. If he uses money, then yes, that will be called gambling. If he only wants to play, I think he doesn't need a license because he is the players. But if he wants to build a gambling website, he should have a license, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. I think you missed something here, so you seem to look confused. You can search for more information about how to build a gambling website and what is needed before you start to build that website.

What kind of game?
Is it like that Mobile Legends/Dota2 game where they just make bets for whoever will win?
I don't think you will need a license for that since it will just be for addition of fun. 

But how will you make profits from it?
They could just do it on their own the next time they want to bet each other again?
