Actually UELAs are binding contracts and in North America and Europe there are acutally laws that state that if you buy a software product, open the shrink wrap/break the seal you have agreed to the Eula without even being able to see it.
Also like all contract law you can face civil proceedings including everything from being sued to fined and in some rare instances even have the hardware involved siezed and auctioned off which can include a gaming rig and all perhipherals and associated software not neccisary for employment.
Also there are laws already inplace that were intended for other things like protecting intelectual property and not interfearing with the distribution of copyrighted materials, and depending whrere you are, virtual objects and currency qualify. 



EULA are not contracts between you and the game company, they are an agreement between you and that company. It doesn't fall under contractual law.
