when you JB do you lose game data?

[nufan]

as many of you might know by now I wanna JB my girlfriends iphone 4 ios6.0.1 verizon, so I can get PDAnet so she can use it for a hotspot for the ipad I'm gonna get her for X-Mas.
When I JB her phone is she going to lose her game data? She like to play those casino type games, and is she going to lose all her credits and/or any other info?

Thanks all

No. But chances are, most casino-style real time games like Zynga Poker are all server based, not client based. That goes for all games that uses log-ins through social medias like Facebook that allows you to access it anywhere, anytime through any device. Jailbreaking is like applying a layer of paint over an unfinished floor. It doesn't change what it really is, just the "appearance" and functionality of your iPhone. Restoring, however, will delete your game data assuming you didn't back it up.

when would i need to restore it?

or i could have her back those up on the ipad then JB the phone and reinstall if need be?

Restoring is when you want a fresh copy of iOS on your device. You would only really need that if there's a system problem that can't be solved manually on the client end. Jailbreaking is just applying a fresh layer of paint, so you won't lose anything.
