For gifting the chips, there's not so much a prevention measure by the game, but rather by Facebook which has been fairly aggressive as of late in terms of seeking out inauthentic accounts, especially those that are tied to MyVegas and similar games (because people were doing exactly what you were suggesting - creating false accounts). They start to pull the "you must submit government ID to be able to access your account" card, and - as was mentioned - the gifting just honestly isn't worth the hassle/risk.
Some people still think it's worth the risk, because they falsely believe that they can get more rewards if they have multiple accounts. But that's where the tie-in to the mLife card/number comes in.
The game creates a user record for you in their database, which is associated with your Facebook account (via the game). The first time you redeem an award, you need to give the confirmation code of the reward. From that point on, your mLife membership is associated with the Facebook account that the initial reward's confirmation code was attached to. If you were to try to associate a *different* Facebook account with an mLife number that already had redeemed an award, you wouldn't be able to.
You also can't have multiple mLife memberships (ie. you can't have multiple Facebook account each associated with a different mLife number), because your mLife / player's card is tied to you - your name, address, etc. - and you have to show photo ID every time you use the mLife card to claim a reward.
