Abstract: A method and device for providing dynamically determined gift creation and dissemination in an online environment, including: receiving a gifting request from a first user for dynamically creating and disseminating one or more gifts to one or more recipients in the online environment, wherein the gifting request includes one or more gifting constraints that un-deterministically specify at least one of (1) a respective identity for at least one recipient and (2) a respective gift value for at least one gift; and dynamically creating and disseminating at least one gift in accordance with the one or more gifting constraints, including at least one of: dynamically selecting a respective gift value for at least one gifts in accordance with the one or more gifting constraints; and dynamically determining a respective identity for at least one recipient for at least one gift in accordance with the one or more gifting constraints.

Abstract: A method for distributing virtual items includes receiving, from a sender client device, a request for distributing virtual items to a set of recipient client devices. The method includes transferring a total amount of virtual items from an account associated with the sender client device to an account associated with a server device, and defining virtual item packages that include the total amount of virtual items transferred. The method includes sending information of the virtual item packages to the sender client device whereby the sender client device generates and sends a link associated with the distribution of virtual items to the set of recipient client devices. The method also includes receiving, from a recipient client device, a request to receive virtual items. The method further includes transferring a virtual item package from the account associated with the server device to an account associated with the recipient client device.
