Random thought:
If I as a merchant accepted Z-whatevers in exchange for goods or services, the Z-whatcha's would be a currency, and thus make the use of the Z's for gambling illegal per LL's definition of gambling.
I probably can't accept Whatevah's as payment since (I assume, haven't looked at the new casinos) they have no representation as objects but are just credits stored in some server device. Which then poses the question: how does that make using the Whatevah's distinct from L$ other than the name? Even LL renames L$s: in English they're called "Linden Dollar
s", in German (for example) "Linden Dollar" (note the absence of the "s", in German the currency name is never put into the plural when specifying an amount in a certain currency). But even though the spelling of the currency-name is localized the ban applies because the currency is being used. Whatevah's are just rename of L$, pretty much the same as the localized currency-name displayed in a localized client.
