I don’t think he’s actually lying at all. In the simulated world, the simulated coin came up tails. He’s not lying about the coin flip result, he’s simply talking about a different coin.
Why does it make sense to accept the simulation as a “real person” that can be “lied” to, but not accept the simulated world they exist in as the “real world” in which they exist? Maybe we’re all being simulated and their world isn’t any less real than ours. The “simluation” might not even be running at a deeper level (i.e. within this simulation) - Omega being from “outside the matrix” is certainly one way of explaining how Omega manages to be so darn clever in the first place...
Why not give the simulation $1K/$1M simulated dollars? Last I heard simulated dollars are fairly cheap when you’re running the simulation. Omega is possibly lying by omission about the fact that the simulation is going to end at some point in the future, but that’s hardly news. Nor even strictly necessary.

The simulated you will presumably not gain $1K/$1M worth of utility from taking the simulated $1K/$1M (if it does, then it’s a different problem).
