Have you tried any of the virtual sex worlds? Red light center has their own virtual currency, called Rays. You can buy stuff with them. Just logging in gets you some rays and casino chips. I don't know how popular it is though.

Good idea though. You can have raffles for gift cards and stuff to cut down on prize costs.
Yup and even GFY with font color changes for names at different posting levels is a slight example of gamification.

The biggest payoff from using gamification is user interaction, feedback and engagement.

I also like the social hacking aspect of it. Look at things like Zombies Run, by making running a game, it encourages activity and exercise, but isn't a blatant exercise app. There is a control over people and behaviors that happens.
