If these virtual currencies (coins) become a medium of exchange and are purchased with real money to upgrade games, then competing for them falls under the meaning of maysir (gambling) or qimar (gambling). Even if they do not become a medium of exchange, playing with them still retains the image of maysir and qimar, and for this reason, they are prohibited.
