The invention relates to a system for integrating online communal wagering and social network functions to enhance social interaction. The contribution lies in providing a ‘chat console’ to enable users of different social networks who are involved in playing the communal game, to communicate directly. This is achieved by the wagering game server being operable to store information correlating participants in the communal wagering game and their respective social network servers.
The hearing officer found that the invention was excluded as a method of doing business implemented via a program for a computer as such and therefore refused the application.
