These can be used in a casino where the player can gamble on roulette, blackjack and three card poker, virtual horse racing, and a variety of slot machines. Any chips won can then be exchanged back into in-game money and used to purchase other in-game items such as cosmetics, weapons, and vehicles.
Other issues

'Shark cards' turn into GTA$ which allow players to purchase in-game items such as cars, apartments, clothes, chips for the casino, etc. Some parents or carers may want to be aware of this. Parents, carers, or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child.
