As we all know ESports has been one of the features of Online Gambling, and recently Axie Infinity had announced the Upcoming ESports Events.


Will this be the path that might lead to Gambling?

Still early to tell because Axie infinity is still on early phase and there are still lots of things to be implied on and now that they have current server issues or lag then its better that they one they should focus
on rather than on esports but it would really be good to look at if this one will really push through but for now it wont really matter much.
Im seeing this to be applied on next year or on Q1 of 2022. This game is play to earn and gambling through fighting those axies? Still in question on how could it be done.

If they successfully land  on Esport scene then maybe  some sportsbook will add them up on their betting option so that there user can choose to bet on  this game and this  one will really happen since Axie community is so big where they gotten a 500k users or above active daily users so its a huge win for a sportsbook if they add this when Esports has been successfully launch on Axie Infinity.

But as other say its so early to tell let see how they execute this as they currently have server issues needed to  address immediately.

Future betting is possible but I wonder what would be the criteria of choosing Axie participants? We all know that Axis has different characteristics and there are users who successfully breed good ones. Even it's a strategy-based game, a good set of skills has the advantage.

But before that plan, they should fix first all the problems and bugs for smooth gameplay. :) I know they can work on it as they should but for how long they will achieve close to at least 90% to 100% smooth gameplay experience either on PC or mobile, we don't know.

That's what I'm thinking but it's only possible first to the players, pvp/player to player and no casino yet. Like going to a certain marketplace and looking for someone who's up for a match. Put their bets, how much for each of the players and then if both have doubts to each other, look for someone who's going to be their escrow and middleman and then let the PvP start. I guess Axie will be going on that stage very soon, it's still on the Alpha stage and there will be more features that will be added to it.

The possibility is always there. And you are right, before they venture into another facet of gambling, they need to work out on making their platform flawless first.
Every project can evolve into something so if they found out that adding casino features other than their game will be beneficial to their business, why not?
But it will take time as it is not that easy to add another feature if they are not yet fully satisfied with their initial venture.

Knowing that this game is still in its alpha stages as of this moment, problems like this will definitely occur like overloaded server and the like. Even I can't play either the adventure or the arena  :'(

Anyway Axie Infinity will host some Esports events in the future so maybe some online gambling sites might consider adding this but I think they should prioritizing first the current problems that they are facing but overall, seeing this at Esports is already good and you can already see a good future within the game. Still early to tell though if gambling will be added on AI but maybe it will.

It had been mentioned that e-sports would really be on different server which means that it wont really be overloading out or adding on the current server that it had on this moment.

Possible for gambling but its too early to say since there would be lots will really be needed to be arranged on before going into this thing.

yeah, still early but the fact that the community is going big in just a short time, possibilities that it will happen soon is pretty high (IMO), and the issues has been fixed, we can already play smoothly on PC just now that is, ha!

yeah I think?, besides that's how it was.

Of course, it's just a matter of time until we see gambling on Axies Infinity. The game is so popular right now that it will be a huge success since the main theme of the game is play to earn, what will also attract lots of gamblers. At the beginning it will be hard to know what players to bet on, because they are unknown from the public yet and there are many of them (last time I heard it was 600K daily, that is why the servers can't work smoothly).

Gambling will also help Axies to keep the demand for the game high within axies and in game items' prices.

If you have a Laptop or PC , play there as it goes smoothly just a few hours ago, everything goes fine already, if you still have issues reinstall both MAVIS and AXIE app, that'll fix the issue as it fixed mine earlier and been playing non-stop up until now.

If that's the case then we really might see some gamblers out there making side bets as there is no official betting for this yet, right?

In my opinion, this is not the path to gambling, it is gambling right now.
It's like you would say online sports betting is gambling, but bar sports betting with your friends is just the path.
Sports betting in all its forms is a gamble, and the fact that esports is just beginning to develop does not change the fact that it is also.

Yes aware of that. I played on my PC. What I'm saying is, everything should be 100% smooth on all players at any device, prior to that possible tournament and event. Even there is a dedicated server for the event, it will create some feedbacks that devs are just focused on smooth gameplay on events but not in general.

But I support the plan 100% as it can lead to a much bigger community. We all looking forward to that. :)

They want to cover more territories and discover more markets to sustain their platform and attract more players, and by adding more features like Esport they want to challenge the industry leaders, they have a huge community they just roll out these new features and the community will adopt, that's the beauty of having a huge community, you just roll up and the community will adopt and make it viral.
,

Depends on how well the community and outsiders receive the planned eSports content of the game. It's too early to tell, although with the gameplay of Axie Infinity, you can see that it is indeed possible to develop into an eSports title provided that the Axies given are balanced and each players will rely heavily on strategies and how they deploy their cards.

It already has a solid list of backers and supporters, so I guess it'll not be hard for the team to pave the way for eSports on the said game.

I am not personally into Axie Infinity although I have some friends and relatives who are hooked on the game. I heard a lot about world-class gamers who are already entering this blockchain gaming. Team Secret, for example, is already playing it. I also heard that T1's Kuku is also playing it. So I guess there is already a huge body of eSports players, professional ones included, who are very much into the game.

Now that there are tournaments in the pipeline and knowing that the game has millions of supporters and players all around the world, there is high probability that bookmakers would also be releasing odds for Axie Infinity tournaments.

That still raises more questions but it isn't a huge feat considering they are increasing on number of players. So far this would be the expensive eSport I guess considering you need to get this expensive Axies so you can be able to play.

When it comes to betting for sure the bettors will go to the player that has nicer breeds and skills. I guess they should create a good matchmaking system here that considers the owned breed, rarity, skills owned and other factors so it's provably fair.

This is feasible if they agree to a battle between the two separate axie guilds, in which they compete for a predetermined number of wins in order to move to the next round. Despite the fact that they are still in the alpha stage, they have a lot of room for improvement, and server scalability should be their top concern.  ::)

However, I guess the fundamental issue here is that each matchup involves some randomization; the cards are randomly picked between each round, which could cause difficulties regardless of the player's expertise.

It's not good if this is going to lead to gambling because there are many youngsters playing Axie Infinity, if they integrate the gambling section on Axie Infinity, then they should be regulated, I do not have Axie and not playing it, but it's better not to introduce something that will lead to gambling, I'm sure they are weighing their options because there are kids playing this game.

Are you sure that's what they're asking? From where do you assume they have the kids in this game? Axie is one of the hottest play to earn games at the moment, players need to spend 1 money to be able to play well on this platform. What makes you think kids know about blockhain and put money into it to join? Whether or not you want to gamble may be an open choice, but the reasons you give are not convincing.

Yes, it is not free to play, but I saw one post about adding a chat system to the game, and their opinion was that it would be much worse because anyone could chat and say bad words or other things, even if it did not affect the game. I believe it will become toxic soon, but the environment in Axie is not yet toxic, only when there are issues or maintenance.

Games too young to tell. Though I think it's still rather too simple (the meta anw) for gambling to take place? When more balances come out and everything is pretty much equal with luck being reduced to a factor of 10 maybe 20%, then gambling wouldn't really be far from it. I'm rather interested in it as well tbh, since the combination of cards and its synchronization with other cards seems really fun. Team building was a thing I've always done whenever I've had free time, sadly I don't have enough funds to actually check them out if it works or not.

The gambling is for tournaments anyway, regular players wouldn't really lead youngsters to gamble. As for playing, well, that's up to them. Axie in itself is a gamble imo, and youngsters wouldn't enter it without having to ask their parents for money, and they're parents themselves should pretty much understand the costs of investing after a bit of search.

The fact that there's already a plan for that, means it's possible that we see some Axie tournaments and events on our favorite Sportsbook in the future providing the current community it has. There will be no problem building a gambling market for this which is a requirement on some sportsbook before they will consider listing it.


There will be no in-game gambling feature. What the subject means is, Axie is planning to take the game to a higher level by dedicating servers to their future E-sports events. The gambling part is like the common and usual betting on other games on E-sports. To explain it literally, the community will place a bet on bookies.

Axie or any game is not responsible if youngsters will be involved in gambling. That discussion is out of context. Regardless of any games, those youngsters will encounter, they will learn to gamble in different ways.

The announcement is meant for a tournament to gain more players out there, This is a common competition for any NFT games or Blockchain games ever since gaming introduced as Dapps. The first time I saw kind of event is on EOS dapps like EOSknight. Implementing a gambling feature on the game will just make the server worst. The game is very laggy and lots of bugs this last few days. I wonder if they can still keep up running a smooth server while the demand is incresing.

I guess aioc misunderstood OP's question. By gambling, I think OP does not mean it would be integrated into the Axie Infinity platform itself. If I were to rephrase cabalism13's question, it would be like, "would bookmakers release betting odds for Axie Infinity tournaments in the future?"

It doesn't mean there'd be gambling on Axie itself. It means the likes of Sportsbet, Nitrogen, FortuneJack, Stake, Cloudbet, and other betting platforms would release betting lines whenever an Axie tournament is happening just like they do with other eSports like DOTA II, CS:GO, and so on.

Anyway, I've personally known underaged kids playing Axie as a scholar. I guess there is nothing wrong with it. It's just a game. And you don't have to know blockchain in order to join the game.

not all video games that are in esport are catered by betting sites .
 some fighting games for instance but playing axie already had an element of playing a gambling because you need capital to get started and you are using your skill and maybe some luck to win and earn cryptos in the game . bringing the game into esports can make the game more trendy tho which is good for the game developer and to the investors  .

the mode offered by Axie Infinity(AXS) is a game in the form of 'adventure' where each participant will place their bet based on the Player, on an axie/pokemon basis, currently YouTube (https://youtu.be/Ga5FywMrdx0) is very viral promoting this Axie Infinity game, in this game each participant must have capital to be able to buy 3 Axie/pokeman at once.

The results obtained in this game are in the form of AXS tokens, one must be able to collect as many SLP points as possible and must complete quests / missions, I think this game does not lead to gambling, generally like casinos etc, since someone involved in the game Axie Infinity has to pursue missions like an adventurer, this kind of game is suitable for young people.

It is very normal that we can encounter in any game, the community always has good people and there are always spoilers, even if they are cheaters  :D we shouldn't bother about it
Well, I think you two have brought this conversation back to the OP's purpose  ;) Obviously, Axie's intentions lie to a new level, it is completely different from the current basic platform. I'm not sure they'll actually do it, but if you think about it in a positive way, it's clearly a challenge where they need to invest a lot of resources. It's not something that can be done in a short time, they need more time to perfect it than quickly move on to it. But is their idea really that interesting? It's too daring!

Now the question is, if the possibilities comes over soon, which platform would be the first to add Axie Infinity on their lists.  :D 8)

and besides we're on the internet, no one can tell whether you are a kid or not.

Pretty sure as long as there is a mainstream event and involves matches, there would automatically be odds in the equation on whether or not they have past information on the player. There are already people talking about having a competition with it and give prizes in their own places. This is possible because you can play with your friends in the game and just have fun and put money on the line. That's more exciting that way.

There could be gambling involved for sure.

If there's a money involve that's gambling for sure since that's E-sport and many players will bet if they win.
We're not sure about the whole mechanics but this is actually exciting since there's a lot of good players already with AXIE and the only problem here is their server which they are already working to fix it.

Questions are, if there's already a competition in AXIE is there any gambling site that are willing to add this options to their E-sport?

Yes you can expect to gamble at axis infinity but it requires a lot of skill it is not possible to win without knowledge of gambling. Axis Infinity has many good gambling sites and investors can easily make a profit this game is the most profitable among the participants beginning with recreation is much less risky than other gambling activities. Gamblers get a lot of benefits in terms of bonuses.

Hey! This isn't a discussion about whether Axie will become a gambling site; rather, it's a discussion about whether Axie will be included in some of the gambling site bookies that are similar to the current mainstream E-SPORTS such as Dota 2, CS:GO, Valorant, and LOL, where anyone can bet on who will win.

It depends. The popularity of Axie is still unknown in Western countries, and the majority of its players are from Southeast Asia. This could happen if Axie can solve their scalability difficulties first before expanding globally.

There's a possibility that they will employ it soon if this ESports proves to be successful for players and the community, they will add more features and probably more gaming and gambling but they need an additional license for their gambling features, we never know if the management of Axi Infinity create a thread here if they add gambling features.

Axie infinity has lots of fans scattered across the globe and this would also trigger gambling with reasonable odds. For sure the gambling aspect is inevitable as far as there are fans certainly there must be a gambling option. Many are already eager for the esport to begin so the can start placing their bets on their favorite player.

The system would certainly know how to match players then asign respective odds to them so as to engage their fans because gambling makes spectator more committed since the feel the have a stake in the process.

That's why in their recent announcement, they are going to create a dedicated server for this, to make sure there are no interruptions or any delays with what they are going to do. But since the contest that they are holding is for the "theme" or how the event will take place, then we are just here to wait for how this will go.

https://axie.substack.com/p/axieesports

Once there is an event that makes this official, it wouldn't be a surprise to see if sites, especially if crypto-related websites, put this in their books. Another potential source of income.

---

This is exciting because I feel the events that are going to happen will be held in the Philippines (most Axie players?) lol.

As per Jihoz  latest interview they are having a  problem with Data's transferred to the server and adding in game chat would add to the problem they encountered right now, also in my opinion its not good to add that option since the chat room  will be full of toxicity as well  players  will trashtalk there enemy so this feature  is not  really good and I would  prefer the current one  where we can focus  to play the game.

Nothing seems to be Impossible because of the Axie Infinity popularity now ? for sure operators and capitalist are looking for every possible way to make profit. and this will also be AXIE as the world of crypto now is being shaken by this opportunity of earning .
In my country there are tons of people i know that is now engaging in this crypto game.

Real Deal Guild(RDG) and Yield Guild Gaming(YGG) conducting their own tournaments so this Esports plan is not impossible to create by the owner and as they already allocated the funds also waiting for the proposals  for sure  we can nearly see this  happening  and maybe it  will happen this year.  The  only thing we need to  see is which sportsbook will add Axie Infinity to their platform. Hopefully those trusted one will be the first to adopt since we might see a huge numbers of bettors come to bet on their favorite  player.

The game is the top-grossing NFT game lately and they're already done with the profit and that's already given to them. And that's why they're making a lot of improvements not just on the server but as well as the upcoming features that they're going to add to the game. The investors that they've partnered with has no longer any problem about the game's stability and profitability. They're now focusing more on what they're going to give to us as they are still on the Alpha stage and that means that there's more that they will add in the future. Hoping that this idea that has been brought by OP will be added by them and soon more casinos will have the interest to add it on their books.

if they give such notification then I'm sure axie will add the feature...

axie infinity is on the rise and has had a tremendous increase in members in just the last 2 months, Adding another feature is their obligation. even though I don't play Axie but I'm sure it will lead to gambling and that's good IMO.

Whenever there's a trend, there more likely gonna push it to Esport since the game has already earned lots of popularity right now since it is one of the first games that introduce play to earn legally. When their community is growing in some certain country there will be no doubt that someone will gonna use their influence to make it happen. You know, everyone is running to that investment opportunity. So the answer is Yes! possibly happen in the next few months or a year from now.

Hi, can someone please explain to me the whole Axie Infinity thing?

My friends told me that they actually earn real money by playing games. They mentioned that depending on the price of BTCs, they usually earn $10/day and the idea behind playing while earning is novel to me. I tried watching some videos on YouTube but it still baffles me on how the game actually works and on how the development team earns during the process.

Do you have some reliable source or statical record on the age bracket for the people who are playing Axie?
Because the last time I check with the Axie Infinity TOS, it says that players below 18 years old isn't allowed to play.
So, it's not gonna be the problem on the eSport bookies If they add betting lines during Axie tournaments and someone who is underage get involved into betting. Parents must be the one who's responsible for that.
And no they're not weighing something on whether they put betting lines or not because there are kids playing, when there's supposed to be no kids playing at all.

The game requires a huge investment capital and I don't think kids can afford that.  So I doubt your statement "many youngsters" are playing Axie.

I guess the Axie infinity community get too much hype on the people because imagine at the alpha test they already release the E-sports game, In just my opinion there's no gambling related to the axie because imagine those other games like this or other competitive similar to the axie they don't have live betting unless the platform we are using for an e-esports will support the use of this kind of event. Well in that case i guess i will try to bet too come on its axie we love strategy games.

Yes we can expect gambling on Axe infinity since it's a form of Esports and provided it's a sport then it must certainly attract fans who add value to it and as such sportsbooks would add it to their betting options. Everything boils down fans turnover since the are the key determinants of how massive their ROI would be.

Even if kids want to get involved in axie it's going to be difficult since they have to go through KYC now that most exchanges require some personal info before you can buy bitcoin. On top of that forming an axie team can be costly.

I want to say no but we'll see because esports on mobile games are only popular in certain countries and I don't know if it's just me but the esports titles that I prefer following are all on PC. If they want to have a successful esports scene then they need to maintain these type of tournaments regularly. The crucial part is how it'll be entertaining to the viewers because there are games that are fun to play as a player but as a viewer it's just too boring.

They are still on the Alpha stages of their development so I don't think that gambling will be that far fetch idea, their current roadmap with the Land Gameplay is still full of speculation and we don't know they are going to build some sort of gambling there because many speculates that Land Gameplay will feature a lot of things that many aren't sure what is it yet, we have to watch out.

It is better to close the chat feature system so as to avoid closeness that is revealing the identity and that obviously minimizes the occurrence of useless conversations at all. The chat feature is not as important if it results in verbal attacks like you said before. At Axie, we prefer privacy to be kept safe and there is no over-interaction.

The popularity of this nft game was exponentially rising here in my country the craze went moon and many more people were getting interested in this game. So I wouldn't have any second thought that one of this days there will be a gambling related on this game. But somehow this is gonna be another work load for the dev team of the project but on the other hand this is gonna be a good idea I guess. As far as I know that axie infinity has age limitation on its player just hope that it is implemented rightfully.

Although there are always players who are aggressive and have bad attitudes, even those who curse others, it is bad and worthy of condemnation. But I don't think it's good when you call someone trash...
I agree that the chat feature is not a very important feature, but it seems that you are thinking negatively about it, the existence of a chat system also has its advantages, it's just not necessary to do it right now

I think the breeding and unique skills that comes out of it deserves to be discussed. Characters are like random unlike other games so it should be interesting how organizers or bookies handle this. Perhaps players will be required to reveal pet stats and skills a day or more before the match.

Among the main things that I would really like to invest one day would be AXIE Infinity, I am a very active player, and this game has a lot of demand, at least in South America it is a sensation, many people do not hesitate to invest there to be able to obtain SLP, and they have Too large a community, many players from several countries have stopped playing lukewarm, and other games that give monetary profitability to go to AXIE, and they are players who have more than 10 years of experience, and these people are hardly wrong, I think those Those who want to invest in AXIE should do so, I would also advise them to play and thus make them more secure.

Investing in AXIE and Bitcoin are the investments I would recommend the most for now.

Axie is a play-to-earn game on the blockchain, didn't you know about it? If you read the comments in this article, it will be easier for you to understand it. In general, they are intending to make bets on matches on the Axie platform, this bet must be placed on other bookmakers, eg Chips.gg, Sportbet,... in short, they need mutual cooperation there, I believe it's quite difficult to do.

Gambling has been part of online gaming for many years now and there tend to be two forms. Those that allow trading of ingame items (see: CS:GO skins that were extremely popular, some of which cost thousands and Valve actually had to stamp down on because it was generating serious law enforcement interest through the many sites that allowed you to wager them) and also the bog standing (e)sports betting which at the heart of it comes down to a 1v1 type scenario or different teams facing off in order to win. At the highest levels it attract a lot of money with many esport tournaments now offering $1 million+ grand prizes for the ultimate winners, so naturally the stakes are high and cheating is kept reasonably under control which allows bookmakers to offer odds more fairly.

There will be sites listing PVP leaderboard statistics of players (example (https://axie.zone/leaderboard)) which will be very useful when picking the right teams to bet on. And as the gambling feature is introduced, enthusiasts will fastly become educated about who the best players and their respective teams are by watching youtube videos of streamers who will promote this content, like any other esports games we already see on the internet. It's also important to notice players' skills aren't enough to guarantee a victory in this game, as most expensive axies have better stats, so it's also very important to be a wealthy player in Axies Infinity to be chosen by gamblers.

That’s an interesting move from Axie Infinity, eSports will definitely attract even more customers. However, I’m afraid that might be dangerous in the long term perspective.

The demand for Axies has been growing insanely for the past couple of months, and that led to the increased prices. With the announced events the demand will grow even more, and so will the prices. Can’t that result in the reduction of players in the end?

Introducing E-Sports is the first step towards this one and maybe, they’ll introduce another site where it focus only to the E-sport and gambling maybe.

There’s a higher chance for this one because it’s more fun to compete if there’s money involve and we know the community of Axie grows a lot in the past months as its hype continues and for sure many players are waiting for this.

For sure it is but for now they are still on developmental stage which we can presume out that they are prioritizing on game progress and next would be that esports which might lead into that gambling opportunities
or for side bettors.

I just recently heard out that those lag issues had been resolved out which is actually a good thing for the company and the price of their in game token had already increased too.

People wont mind much about gambling but rather be focusing  first on earning opportunity while they do play.

The team really showing how passionate they are to their game and  since the server issue  is  now been resolve by them for sure this Esports  plan is their next goal to achieve. And for sure players would really mind to bet on their known strong players since  one of the factor their is players have money to spend since  they are earning good profits in the  game itself and also we cannot  deny how  truly huge  Axie Infity is.  I projected that next  year they can be more huge as number of players keep growing everyday.

This is not about Axie being acknowledge as a Gambling Site lol, I think you haven't gone into ESports Betting yet. Kindly re read the topic and notify me if its not clear.
Btw, its nearly impossible to consider that as a gambling game lol, as its features are almost just like a kid's game.

I don't understand your statement. What's the connection of a few players later on or price topic on Axie including in E-sports?

The topic is clearly if Axie will be listed soon on Sportsbook since it will now take in E-esports.

It's not just about Axie players as everyone can take part in the betting, even those who don't know what Axie is but just riding a betting tip.

they are succesful somehow but its to early to stop .
they need to keep going because if not , other games in the simillar field can surpass them because other games are also dedicated to follow the success of axie .
 some games that are in esport betting sites are also for all ages but dont worry because kids cant reach the betting site easily and the games wont promote betting within their app or website .

I will be Eying for this to happen and if the popularity of Axie will continue this 3rd quarter then for sure there will be sportsbook that will settle trying entering the tournament for this one.
Or other specific groups that Handles the gambling in the past popular mobile game like Mobile legends that once become the talk of the town and having activities here and there.
so the chance of Axie to have one is also bigger as now the world is engaging having being Scholars .

My friends and I are already using it to gamble,
We bet some small money and fight with each other,
Sometimes my wife and I also use it to bet on who would do the chores around the house if I lose on arena it would be on me and if I win she would do the chores.
So I guess it is possible it would only depend if you are going to use it on gambling.

Cool you and your wife are fighting for whom to do the chores ? lol as if we will win over our wives because even if we win they will still tell us to do the chores and we have nothing to complains or else we will not be allowed to be with them in Bed  ;D

__________________________________________________

But i will be the one to wait for sportsbooks to open and offer Axie betting .

AxieInfinity is doing well. They know their audience with the goal of creating new features as they well say as they progress in the work on scaling in the primary game servers.
5,000 AXS ($ 145,450) from the play-to-earn allocation pool in prize money for community tournaments will raise the expectations and interest of the Axie community and also that others join the game.
AxieInfinity has managed to break the schemes is top trending in Coingecko in the last weeks since I have realized it and possibly it has been longer.
IMO the developers are committed to keeping AxieInfinity the darling of blockchain games just wanting to stay on top.

LOL if they couldn't do the bet then maybe bet other things be creative to spice things up.
And it shouldn't be that way as a partner we should learn to respect one another.
Did you mary your wife just for bed? don't be controlled by it.

It sounds so interesting catching cool fun with Esports domestic gambling as I would choose to call it in this instance I think this is a bit creative making the home lively. Hope you comply ones your predictions goes wrong. But I feel by this it means people are already gambling on Axe infinity already irrespective of the approach the major concern is a bet is placed on it.

This is no different from gambling using Bitcoin or altcoins so a gambling on axie infinity is really possible but with their current server issues I don't know if it's possible to make or use axie in gambling. The current issue might present on during the transaction or playing this is the one they should be focusing to fix rather than making it possible in gambling eSports.

Overall if the current issue would be fixed then gambling with it is not a problem.

Just wondering...  What other games are out there that’s a cheaper version of Axie?  I’m looking at My DeFi Pet.  The DPET token is still at 5.11 USD rn.  Is that any good? 

I think I overlooked the NFT craze.  I didn’t really think it would pick up.  If I had the same mindset today as I had during 2013 - 2015, I’d be all over all this and DeFi.  But yeah..  I gotta upgrade what I know in crypto.  I’m missing out.

If you do read up on what others been saying above then that current issues of lagging had been resolved out and esports is a bit ahead of their plans when i do read up it into their announcement
which is basically pertaining for it to happen within this year and i dont know if they would able to push through since there would be lots adjustment and fixed to be made
but lets see on what would be their future plans specially on next year.About gambling then it would be possible if they wanted to and if there are lines been offered with this.
This game and its developers does have a bigger plan for this game which is already a plus.

Again, age concerns.
You really has no idea what you're talking about.
Catering to all ages?
https://i.ibb.co/zSQygM4/IMG-20210724-052724.jpg
I have to put a picture of the company TOS so it will be visible for everyone saying "there are kids playing the game."
And no, Axie management doesn't plan to put betting lines directly to their website. eSports is a betting category to any popular online gambling websites today.

Well, I don't think it is a kid's game --Axie Infinity is too expensive to buy a pet that you can enjoy the game. However, this is game is very popular now just because of the play to earn game, perhaps it is too early to say that they will step on the e-sports games, they had much stuff to fix first before considering that stage, the server seems quite laggy just because many of people using this and I saw in Facebook page there is someone who farmed this game using an auto clicker. I think, not now and perhaps soon.

I think that there is already enough "gambling" in Axie. As an example we should look at their micro transactions like magic boxes. This is gambling as itself: you never know what you will get from it. And yeah, it's controlled by developers, so they don't need to create  competitors for themselves. But in future i think that developers will implement new kinds of gambling, maybe axie races or something like that.

Will this be the path that might lead to Gambling?

There could be a possibility mate if many teams will gather a possible tournament, then it might be a good betting idea because of its popularity that's gaining more interest from many. Depending on a certain situation, because we don't know other institution might take advantage of it without the awareness of axie game itself. They can't trace easily if somebody is using Axie discreetly for their gambling operations and put it unto possible sports betting category.

Betting would be likely a part of this platform and it may grow from that point. This pandemic brought a lot of gamblers online so I won't be surprised if Axie will develop some sort of betting on their site itself. And this can easily expand to other classic casino games.

Again, it's not about adding in-game gambling within Axie. It's far from happening. They will not implement new kinds of gambling.

They will set up a tournament or event as Esports wherein teams or players will join. There's a prize pool and the gambling there is; viewers, audience, even those without knowledge of Axie will be able to place a bet like a usual betting in sports or any events if some betting sites will list them.


I doubt. Let alone other betting sites do that.

Much better to just focus on what's their game model is all about.

Maybe that is why the gambling industry will grow fast when they spread their business into an online gambling game because it can attract many gamblers from many countries. The provider or the platform and the other things that the gambler sees on the offline casino will transform better in online gambling. That will make the gambling industry more interesting for them and of course, online gambling will gain from the gamblers.

Much better if that will be the case, let alone those viewers and followers will use this game for their betting activities, by far it isn't impossible as there's already ESport gambling.

It's not hard to bring this game to that level and allow gamblers who loves axie to bet for their team of choice.

Also, knowing how gambling owners mindsets, when there's money to flow surely bookies will not let it just to passed, they'll
going to grab this opportunities, Axie are moving forward and the development are really bringing more people.

Here in our place, many people become interested in Cryptocurrency because of Axie Infinity because it comes at the right, people are at their homes at the start of the pandemic, they have no choice but to find work and entertainment online and Axie Infinity has given these people a good source of income and entertainment, I am late in Axie because I'm no gamer, but I start working on games similar to Axie Infinity.

I started investing in BTC back in 2017 and when I convinced my friends to join me, they doubted my decision and even laughed at me.

Now that Axie Infinity is becoming popular, my friends who previously mocked me are now into cryptocurrencies because of such game. Somehow, I do realize that I am grateful for this game since it attracted lots of audience in the country who doubted BTC at first.

I was confused on how Axie Infinity works. But when I saw that its gameplay is similar to Hearthstone, I do think that it has the potential to enter the gambling sphere.

No guys, it's not what Axie is after. They will enter the world of Esports and will held some future events.

Those events have a possibility to be listed by betting websites, depends on the market and hype, as what they also did on other Esports events. That's where the gambling will start since people can now bet on the betting sites, not within the Axie platform. Let's take the basketball event, for example, you want to bet on NBA, you will do it on a sportsbook of course, and not on the NBA website itself.

Not on the AXIE platform but into other gambling site, with the current serve that AXIS has, I don’t think they can sustain this not unless they created another site and server for this Esports, but I also believe that this is just a competition and its up to players if they make a bet or just play the game. Axie Infinity will surely grow more as they enter into a new phase.

I'm sure many Axie Infinity players are gamblers too who do sports betting, Axie realized that there is a market on sports betting, and they have a huge community and Axie tokens to attract their players, so it's a good move for the management, they want sustainability and they are going to get it by adding sports betting.

They've already posted about an update regarding an event, and they're accepting already those proposals from organizations until the first week of August. So far, I don't think that "betting" companies will get in that quick as they're not yet established as a gambling scene. Although competitively, it's being seen as sustainable esports since there are hundreds of thousands of players that are active on a daily basis. They just have to start it out with the competitive scene and continue afterwards once it's already established. There has to be a way to spectate those matches.

Normally gambling, casinos are very popular in places like Europe, North America, but particularly many do not take much into account gambling and games in South America, and AXIE Infiniity is gaining a lot of community, as well as many investors in this zone.

For some it seems not so good what they have to do in the game, but when they do different missions to get SLP they do them without thinking to level up, get profit and generate that new AXIES are born, many sell AXIE eggs quite expensive, It is actually a game where a lot of money is handled, and I think this is what most attracts the attention of both players and investors. In fact, some investors do not want to lose this, and those who do not have much experience in the game offer scholarships for players to do so and give them a percentage, this has really won many more people, it is a win-win.

Agree. This what i told above: If some kind of gambling will be added, it will come from developers. Not from community. 
But i think this also far future for now. Developers has a lot income and a lot of work with another opportunities.

Also, this is weird, but i thought that we should already have some kind of gambling sites to bet on events in Axie. But this is empty.

The management knows that their platform is open to everyone, I don't think they will want their platform to be a venue where young children will learn how to gamble, they are ok with their gaming platform if they are going to something like Esports they should careful on creating a gambling perception on their platform, it will harm their reputation.

What do you mean? There's no event yet. The servers are not even deployed yet.

It also needs a big market first before it can be recognized by gambling sites. We might not see it yet on crypto sportsbooks even betting is now open on fiat gambling websites. It's not easy to start an Esports event.

They are just on the proposal stage which ended a few days ago. And another 4 months for fixing the event schedule. It will take time.

Luhhh this is just a sample of those posters who doesnt even check out or doesn really play axie infinity at all and its true that they are still on that proposal stage when it comes to that Esports event.

Lets post the link about that matter: https://axie.substack.com/p/axieesports

This isnt availabe and still on progress and people shouldnt really be trying to post up something which is totally irrelevant or doesnt really connected at all.

I mean that there should be some gambling sites created by ordinary users for different purposes. Like in WoW, or any other famous RPG (as i remember, in LA2 (lineage 2) first gambling sites with in game currency was developed and hosted by ordinary users). And there is no anything like that in AXIE. Weird

That's how things works, the interest playing games and gaining real money attracts more people to this venue of industry,

unlike with how we introduce crypto which I just assume that we try convincing our friends and relatives investing with it and try to learn more deeper.

Axie introduce crypto in a different way, here from my place even teens are playing asking money from their parents and let them play in a short span of time they manage to give the money back with some decent incentives.

^ I hope they can fix their laggy server, it was always lag when I was visited the server battle. Well, that is not bad for them if they will enter the Esports game since they had a good game that is good for bettors. They are talking Esports now when the fact that there are many issues to be fixed first before this, I know there are thousands or even millions of users in axie infinity, and probably there many of them drive more than one account for farming the SLP. Nevertheless, speaking of the play-to-earn game not only axie infinity was there, consider the defipet too.

They had already fixed that lagg issues that happened 2 weeks ago and also the server was already smooth for a week now which is really a good indication that they are fixing the server
issues and able to retain their players and now it is growing even more bigger. Next on line would be that esports suggestions and recommendations that this might will happen on this year.
Gambling with it? it will vary because there's no assurance on what would be the arrangement in the future.

I have always been aware of AXIE Infinity even though I do not play it, but according to this article, AXIE has generated much more income than BTC and ETH, which shows that the business model implemented is one of the best:

Axie Infinity Generated More Revenue than Bitcoin or Ethereum in July



https://i.imgur.com/9fNNrqf.png

Source: https://cryptobriefing.com/axie-infinity-generated-more-revenue-than-bitcoin-or-ethereum-in-july/ (https://cryptobriefing.com/axie-infinity-generated-more-revenue-than-bitcoin-or-ethereum-in-july/)

The token is one of the biggest winners of the month of July, I think that the creators of Axie knew how strong the gamer community is, that many of them their life is games, by giving the opportunity to have fun and do SLP where they can having huge profits is a win-win business.

I heard about this game last week because one of my friends played it. Actually I've never tried it and I don't know exactly if this will lead to gambling with new types of games or this is just a money making game. Basically when people play games for money, then they have made the game a new gamble with their efforts and skills. This game also seems to require us to make a deposit, right?

You need a huge investment to start playing this game, unless you know someone who can offer you scholarships. I also heard about this game but I don't have that interest with kind of investment.

From where am I awareness to this game is really increasing, moving more new players to invest with their characters and start doing their quest.

You are right, aside from possible pvp gambling those players who bought this game already doing gambling with the time, though increase in numbers of interest continue to established this play to earn offer.

I also feel that this game will eventually lead to gambling but of course we can't be too early to speculate about it ;D, but for sure now many crypto gamers are using this game as a means to earn money, even though I've never played it but it looks like the axie game is a pretty good game and of course it also requires qualified skills, according to some articles that I read, this game does require a large amount of capital and it is even reported that the capital we need now is almost 4 times the capital when needed from this game first went viral.

Play to earn is the new thing but of course you would really be needing to cash out some big amounts of money for you to start on but basing on the earning and make out some calculation

then ROI is just way too fast or does only take a couple of months which is far way more better compared to traditional investments. This game is really getting bigger and bigger as the day passed.

Upcoming events and features might be available but im not expecting that much when it comes to gambling literally.

I'm also just looking for more details about this axie. CMIIW looks like this is NFT with gaming system ? My understanding of this axie is like an old simulation game on facebook? you must have an axie ( character egg ) buying with eth and then that axie can have stamina to fight daily and get some potion to use it or sell it again in market and can breed another egg ? i dont get it where is part of gambling on this system ? its RNG system .

Everything is quoted in the first post and you just have to read it clearly. There is no gambling within the Axie itself.

Once it will be a feature in Esports, it's possible that we can bet on it the same as Dota2, LOL, etc. That's the gambling part.

Exactly as bookmakers always go on things where they can earn and if Axie infinity will successfully launch their Esports which we know that this is a multi-million dollar industry for sure they will add this since many axie infinity players will  bet on upcoming exciting fights.

I'm excited about this to happen and I'm sure I will bet on various players which I know.

I think Axie Infinity has been very successful since apart from taking a community as large as Gamers, it proposes what they like the most: "Play to Win", this formula was quickly understood, they took a need combined with fun, The truth is that both in the Philippines and in Venezuela, this game is a success, most are looking for a scholarship, since the investment is quite large, at least you must have 1200USD to form a good team, apart from getting the 150SLP, you have a Exciting part for many that is PVP, where forces are measured by the players, I think this model will be copied by many NFT game projects, which is moving large amounts of money.

I don't think so because as far as I know axie infinity Axie Infinity is a Pokémon-inspired blockchain-based digital pet world where players can earn tokens through games. Players can battle, collect, breed and build an empire for their pets.
and here if you look at what has been so far there have been no bets, they just play using the NFT they have and are assigned to win in order to get a reward.
I don't think this can be said in the gambling category even though from the start they made a deposit but it's not a bet

With numbers of players who already know this game, it surely bring more money to any E-Sport that will cater this game.

It's exciting since the setup is play to earn people are enjoying with that and if you'll going to add some spice and allow tournament
or PVP, sort of gambling will appear for sure.

It's up to the developers on how to integrate this to bookies surely they will not take it for granted knowing that money are flowing now with this game.

Axie Infinity in its essence is already gambling because you are investing money on it by buying pets and you will depend on their rewards called SLP to regain your investment which is not guaranteed because the market is the one that will set the price and you also need to finish the task to get your rewards when there is money and task involved it's already gambling, and there's a possibility of a drop of the price if the market cannot sustain it, or when there are massive sells.

Gambling on the essence you are risking money into a particular game but you should mind off that you can earn money out of your investment which isnt possible for gambling because it could neither directly make you
win or lose it all in an instant basis or behavior.Investment is indeed a gamble but since you could really make some consideration like studying it first if it could sustain for long term then at least you do able to
to presume that it could really give out some profits for you.On the game itself then i dont see any problems with it but if they wont able to solve out that oversupply of SLP in the market then this would really be a big
problem to them.

Wrong mindset. You invested here because there's sure money in return unlike in gambling.

Even SLP will hit a much lower market price compare to where it is currently, the ROI for new investors would just take time. But in the end, there's no way they will not hit their respective ROI.

It's like when you are buying coins. In a bear trend and you are losing the price of it, you just have to hold it for a much longer time.

As the title says, can we expect Axie infinity on gambling? Meaning some people think they could participate gambling with their own pets using the rewards to bet like SLP or the other. And yes, you are right this can't be called as gambling since it's more like a pokemon-go game and correct me if I'm wrong maybe they have some trading with skins of their pets too. And when trading involved there should be a gambling in it or let the dev decide if they want to put some skins on it to be traded.

Someone should suggest something like this or maybe steam platform in the future would put this too, i don't know but it seems like that.

Agreed, it's called investment because we're talking about return on investment at the end. What is the reason you are purchasing axies? You want to earn SLP so that you can profit in the long run. If it's gambling, you have a 50/50 chance of winning or losing money. It's not like that anymore because there's a guaranteed slp you win per day, and unlike gambling, we'll know whether we'll get our money back or not. Axie is not a gambling; for me, it is an investment, but we each have our own point of view on this.

That is actually right. Today the market is flourishing for Axie Infinity, but nobody can assure how it will be tomorrow. Many people compare Axie to Pokemon, so it is interesting to notice how Pokemon Go fever started suddenly and how it was intense. However not too long after I barely heared people talking about Pokemon Go anymore. Hypes are unpredictable and investors must be aware about this fact before investing.

Gambling is every activities which involve money investment and risks. Both are present in Axie, so with course it's gambling. I would just say it's not gambling if we are talking about players and not investors. In other words: people who are willing to play just to have fun and not exactly because they want to recover the investment.

On the other hand, if Axie is able to create a fan base that goes beyond financial gains, there is a good chance it will become a very popular esports game. This way the game receives new sources of income (sponsorship, gambling comissions, tournament taxes...) besides players' investments. That would be the ideal because to fully relies in new players' investments is very dangerous for game's sustainability.

I'm not familiar with the game, is it PvP? if yes probably it can be part of the esports betting but I'm not quite sure how does it work, more like a turn based strategy game? Maybe but I don't think it's big enough to be part of the Esports and I don't think there's a competition on the game itself.

it is like that and i made the response as i expressed in the thread, there is nothing wrong with that.
I honestly don't really follow this game because it requires a large enough capital to be a beginner there because I saw a few weeks ago to make a beginner team you have to spend around $700 and to be honest I'm getting interested but until now I still haven't do it.
apart from the existing trading as an additional feature in the game I don't know and I think this will be a good option for the dev if you want to trade with gambling because by adding this gambling feature I think it will make this game more interesting and will make you enthusiastic especially for gambling lovers.
but apart from that it is true that dev is the one who decides.

Things continue to go very well for Axie, now it is expected that it can reach $ 100, if everything goes well it is likely that it will reach it as more people continue to join, not only in Venezuela, the Philippines, but also in Argentina they have a lot of euphoria.

The rise of AXIE has caused NFT volumes to skyrocket above normal, many people are entering many NFT games with the hope that they will have the same success as Axie, this has been the best for NFT games.

If this would able to sustain for this year and made out some good updates or additionals into the gameplay which do somewhat really prove out about sustainability then we could really tell that it would really increase its price in the future despite on the current situation it is in.

This is what i do able to observe on the time had Axie infinity do make out some noise in the market then lots of games that do pops out like mushrooms.

Its a bit anticipated that whenever a trend do happen there would always be some possibility of joining with the ride while there are still lots of investors been considering on putting up money
with these type of games.

This can’t be consider as an Esport of course but there’s an on-going competition in Axie where you just need to increase your MMR and if you are on the top positions, you can get a reward but again it’s not a gambling and Axie Infinity itself is not a gambling game.

There’s a lot of future updates with Axie, I didn’t see any feature about betting, maybe this can’t be possible to happen but if the team is working into something else, they should inform us.

They do have future plans which might happen on this year.
https://afkgaming.com/mobileesports/news/axie-infinity-esports-to-roll-out-in-2021-with-5000-axs-prize-pool

and previous competitions and tournaments
https://whitepaper.axieinfinity.com/gameplay/battling/tournaments-and-esports

Lets see on how it would go well.

No. It will become and consider as Esports obviously because it can consider as a form of competition as a video games like any other Esports. They even mentioned that term as part of their future plans.

About betting, why refer on that on Axie's future updates? You won't really see it in their future updates because the one that will work on that are the betting sites if ever these sites will list the Axie competition on their betting list.

One of the latest updates that some friends who play Axie is that over time, as the game represents a large investment, they are thinking of obtaining an option for free accounts, and of course I imagine that through a free account when passing through Many missions will be saved to buy 3 AXIES and play in "Premium" mode, what happens is that they want to change the game mode so that it is more accessible to everyone, obviously it would take a long time to reach at least 1500USD and buy a good team, they are just a few of the things they are considering due to their success.

More updates I imagine will be the creation of more worlds in ARENA mode to do PVP confrontations, which is where the game gives more experience and get more SLP.

I also still believe that blockchain games, with their immutability and scalability, can give a different dimension to traditional games, and of course existing server-based games can be characterized as short, scalable virtual alternative realities, so this could make a difference for the players and that's why maybe people will leave the game platform if they mix it with gambling like you said, some people might choose the axie game just to have fun or investing and of course they won't get it again if Axie becomes a gambling arena .

I think you have missed something.

It is correct that Axie Infinity will have a free to play gameplay, however, it will not provide any earning ability, this means that you are able to mint SLP along the process. You can check the their tweet regarding this.

---

They have also released a dedicated server for E-sports tournaments. Perhaps, it is a foreshadowing that sportsbetting might stand a chance.

I think we can expect that to happen, remember that they have SDK in their roadmap, meaning that players can make their own game there and they're still in the alpha stages of development so we don't know what's in store for the players. There's a possibility as long as the devs don't confirm that there's not going to be any gambling.

Thank you very much for the clarification, if it must be that at the time you told me you did not understand well, what happens is that these types of players are more than interacting with many games at the same time, most of the friends who are playing are Tibia players , which if they have that option to be free and can make a profit to become premium, however I think that placing it free is something like the exchanges have to operate with play money, it means knowing the game, learning about their cards and being able to have a training to apply it when they go to play with their investment already made.

It is not bad, but it is an indication that it can continue to grow while the demand to play increases, the business model of this game has really been a success, especially for countries with economic problems.

I am sure that at the moment this topic is not interesting to bookmakers - the market is too small and few people are interested in this game (at least I have not seen the corresponding videos on YouTube or Twitch). In addition, this game can hardly be called competitive, therefore, even with the further development of the game, it is unlikely that we will see that someone will evaluate it as a sport. However, all of the above does not prevent individuals wishing to place bets on certain battles in person.

They are currently having 1.2M active users which if these numbers would bloat out in upcoming months or becoming big and getting much attention then they might really consider it out.
Also theres already some show off of AXS distribution and Esports list. https://axie.notion.site/axie/cf14dc12a7024bd9822e105daf480ea5?v=5543cd4bf4ef462aae2f189b07e2b906
This would becoming even more bigger in upcoming months to come.

Really? The market is too small? Because from what I've heard, they are already around a million daily players so I don't think that the indifference of the bookmakers are on a slightly different reason. There's going to be a tournament that has a separate server and I think that bookmakers might be interested in that one.

I'd reckon the "market is small" is about how only a small amount of players, in general, are playing it competitively AND the same amount are those enthusiastic about it being an esports thing, where they can gamble on. It's still rather difficult especially since the players are mostly concentrated on the Asian countries from what I know (really, just look at their discord and you'd know which countries are the most active). Once it spreads out towards the western though, we could expect some big things, especially since Axie is still in its alpha stage. Imagine if they released a bunch more content that gives more players options and stuff to spend and earn from.

I doubt the relevance of this statistic. How can we be sure that this is not a bunch of bots? If it's such a popular game, why can't I see anything about it outside the crypto?
Here is a section of this game on twitch - I am not observing some kind of excitement and great interest of the audience:
https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Axie%20Infinity

It's possible that axie infinity would be in a sports betting platform, but there's no telling when since we are only playing it to earn money as of now. Having it on Esports means that it has a bright future of all NFT games, as of now. I can't see anything at all that it won't be in a betting sports, but now, I think only few people will be interested on betting on it because there's only a few percentage of global population that has an axie account.

Maybe unt the future, if everyone knows what axie really is, then for sure it would be a sports gambling sensation.

So far not any developing about axie infinity will be sport betting platform because only active with gaming right now, many benefit keep staying with gaming than build on sport betting platform, not all member agree and keep stay if axie infinity change network from gaming become sport betting and looks not worth for member to active on axie infinity.

I think we can expect, there's already a plan for an eSports tournament for Axie Infinity so Ithink that there's no doubt that there's going to be betting in Axie Infinity. And it's also easy to predict which one to win in this tournament to be honest, just know the cards that they have and you can easily predict who gets the upper hand.

With the popularity of this game, ESport will probably add this inside their platform, knowing that interest in betting for this game will surely increase after the system got integrated to the platform.

For now, we are only seeing those players who keep enjoying the play to earn feature of axie but soon who knows it will add
this additional feature that will allow ESport to cater the game for betting experiences.

It will increase popularity if that happened, and it will also increase stability of this game.

Well, we haven't been able to find the betting feature in Axie Infinity, because so far the kids have started trying the game. So what about gambling in Axie Infinity? then the team needs to do some configurations for adults so that children under 20 can play without being disturbed by the betting feature.

Identifying user's age requires personal information such as birthday and an ID of course, so it will be another inconvenience to those who doesn't want to give their ID's or any personal information to this platform, and which may be will be required as well if axie infinity adopts betting on the platform as most casino/betting website requires particularly in withdrawals.

It is easy to predict based on cards/parts of the Axie per player and team. But it's hard to know the gameplay of each player of how good they are including their timing of passing and as well as using their energies and cards.
That's why this game is so good and can really become an esport because there are other games like Hearthstone that's also a card game which is also being considered as another one of the known esport that we've got. So, Axie is close to it and it's only going to be a matter of time until we see these feats being added.

You should know that cards won't obviously be revealed to the public so you won't know who has the upper hand.

That should be expected to play with the bettors.

If ever placed on betting, the only basis we have is the player's experience, strategies, and the winning rate which will only start at the Esports event. It means in the first phase of our betting, we are all clueless on who should we pick as a bet. That's how I see it.

Recent announcement made in Axie's official discord channel regards esports:

https://i.imgur.com/9T4GABH.png

I believe they are starting these tournaments to select the best players in the world, so they can organize a tier 1 championship or something like this. By there gamblers can start familiarizing themselves with the players, their axies, skills and cards. 5560 AXS in prizes look great, it's almost 400,000$ dollars, what can become even better if the currency keeps pumping.

So right now its not gambling yet since its a competition and the winners will get a huge reward, this will defend on a gambling site if they'll offer a bet on a championship series but this new Esport on Axie is a good thing the price will continue to rise as long as there's a good update. Gambling with Axie are possible if they created their own betting platform, this may happen in the future.

Yeah, that is what I'm looking for but unfortunately, there is nothing to find, so this Axie Infinity can't be a form of gambling. It is just like the same with others but the good thing about this game is it gives a chance for the winners or players to make some money through selling their Axie's.

maybe they can have their own betting with their friends or from the other country since this was just an online game but I'm not sure if there is a betting site that will support this for now, maybe in the future?

Obviously, you can't expect right away that betting sites will put a betting market on it. But still, there's a chance, who knows. Depends on the hype and the possible projection of its market.


Not necessary and I don't see if it makes sense to add it. It's not the purpose of the game even let's say just a side feature.

Let alone betting sites do the betting market for it. No need for the Axie team to spend time or even consider adding that feature.

Can we expect gambling on Axie Infinity?
Reading this question I also come to think on how could a dev team of this NFT game could propose an online gambling for this game. I mean maybe the e-sport betting could be possible well I just think about betting and gambling in a different way but of course either betting sport or gambling were both money involve. But so far this Axie Infinity online game is doing great and many people got hooked on this game because of the feature of play to earn. I do believe that this is feasible but I just thinking on how they would do it but if the team could come up this feature then it would be great.

Only form of gambling we could ever see in axie infinity's system is the somewhat loot-based system of eggs and breeding. The axie devs had made it clear that they want a game that would require skill and a bit of grinding in order to profit, not some gambling system that would favor those who wager more than those who don't. Besides, gambling has to be accessible even to the smallest investors, and looking at the market price for a decent axie team, that wouldn't be the case, at least for me. So basically it'll be like tournament betting which is not directly affiliated to axie infinity. This makes sense since they aim to produce a competitive-centric game where people with skills are more favored than those of average or low skill rating, hence the MMR system in the Arena Battles. Nevertheless it still stands that I believe axie will never be a gambling centric game, apart from what we have right now.

I don't really think that this will lead to an ingame gambling feature that is built into axies infinity because i think it just does not fit into the game World of axie and would probably have a negative impact on the game in the longterm. But now that they have a Server that is dedicated to host e-sports tournaments of axie in the future i think that it is only a matter of time until we can also place bets on the outcome of those tournaments and the results of each match. First we have to wait and see how popular those tournaments are and if they can also stir the interest of the viewers on twitch.

Axie infinity can't be an esports betting, they only run a tournaments to celebrate their success. Because this game isn't fair and pay to win, to get strongest and good axies it cost a lot. If you buy the lowest price axies, the stats is poor and quite impossible to beat the top axies. It's not like other games which the character, weapon, skill the stats is same and really depends how their strategy to win the games.

Just as I thought. the axie concept is not for gambling. but to play for earnings. if the gambling element is too strong it may be banned by some countries. and provide a new view of nft games in a negative way. if gambling is outside of Axie's platform and only for personal players, it's still possible to exist in some casino.

I don't think age is too much of an issue to give, as long as it's not too detailed, doing more vulnerable KYC for example.

On the other hand, it will be very vulnerable to provide some information, at least how to deal with children at an early age to avoid betting features that can be seen clearly?

By the way, yesterday I found a section on twitch dedicated to this game - https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Axie%20Infinity
I wonder if the game is recognized as gambling, will it be completely removed from the twitch? It would be logical. In general, I see that the developers have taken too many risks on themselves - firstly, the game can be recognized as gambling, and secondly, all the risks associated with cryptocurrency.

That's why I said ID will be required to get the age of each users, coz obviously anyone or underage can just put >18 numbers to be able use the feature (betting) which is not avail for underage (<18) or specific age, legally.

So here's what I figured out ... This is an NFT project that reminds me of a Pokemon-style game that was created by Vietnamese developers. Where the hell did the $ 5 billion capitalization come from then? Either I don't understand something or the world is going crazy. So if someone present in this thread has a couple of minutes to explain to me what's what, I will be grateful. I would like to hear something more than news bulletins, and see at least a couple of links to guides or something like that, (I would even happily post a couple of merit for an answer if it satisfies my curiosity).

Well, that is true most expensive axies are the best ones and can easily overcome the cheapest teams, but there are many teams composed by those strong axies playing against similar teams in a competitive way. And if there is competitive PvP, it's possible to have gambling for sure. Another idea they could put in practice is to separate axies' teams by categories, like lightweight and heavyweight categories in fighting sports, so a cheap team could only compete against another team of the same level. This way things get more balanced and every player can participate.

It is because of their AXS governance token with a maximum supply of only 270M^[1] (https://axieinfinity.com/axs/) and a massive influx^[2] (https://twitter.com/AxieInfinity/status/1423589789136154629?s=20) of players getting into the game which makes the price to remain bullish. Currently, about 60 million AXS are in circulation, with the majority of the supply (22.22 percent of total supply) coming from their public token sale and in-game incentives (reaching the top of the leaderboard)^[3] (https://whitepaper.axieinfinity.com/axs/allocations-and-unlock). If the Mavis Team releases the play-to-earn and staking rewards for its players and investors, the remaining AXS will be released somewhere in between this quarter until year 2026.

Also, the breeding process (https://axie.substack.com/p/axie-breeding-guide) in Axie Infinity is crucial, particularly in terms of the AXS treasury. Axie Infinity included a breeding mechanism to generate new axies that may be utilized for fighting, breeding other offspring, and as a marketable item. The AXS that is being used in the breeding process goes to the community treasury^[4] (https://explorer.roninchain.com/address/ronin:a99cacd1427f493a95b585a5c7989a08c86a616b) where it is later used for the governance functionalities of AXS.


Furthermore, an increasing number of exchange listing for AXS could also drive the price up for AXS token, which is a no brainer why this token just keeps going up. More exchanges could also means more accessibility for trading.

Twitch has a special category for gambling games including slots . virtual casino and poker https://www.twitch.tv/directory/tags/71265475-e0b0-411e-a0cf-b93c33848b2b but right now it looks like NFT games still not recognized as gambling game (according to their list)  and yes maybe there will be new sub-categories for gambling games on Twitch like "NFT games" or "game finance"  ;D

We will never know but the prospect of a cryptocurrecy game will be exciting for the e-sports scene. The Axie might be the first game where we will be able to see players battling it out in a big esports arena with thousands of people watching on site and possibly millions watching on the internet. If it becomes a esport then it only shows that NFT crypto games might have a bright future ahead for many aspiring esports players.

Until no sportsbook will add this option to bet on their site we cannot call it a gambling but once the Esports scene will be opened up and it catch the attention of huge number of user or even not a axie infinity player then for sure the sportsbooks will add up since this is another huge income to them. I can't wait to see this happen since by now Axie craze is spreading across the globe, I expect that we will see more players coming since the Play 2 earn option is really great thing there.

It's possible in small groups and for some streamers but it would be hard for casinos to adopt it this early because Axie Infinity still has a lot to launch in the coming days. They've just started and still trying to deal with the improvements that they need to accommodate lots of players. I believe that gambling on it would be possible if that would launch their complete land in the future.

As I understand now, there is no age limit for this game on the part of the viewers? Taking into account the fact that now the rules are tightening everywhere, this will not last long and something like that will be introduced, but most likely this will not affect the audience of the game - as I understand it, the average age of players is much higher than teenagers, since crypto enthusiasts play it.

Indeed, but for now they are focus in improving  their services, though it's very possible to expect that ESport will add this up when everything is already completed.

And more on the demands coming from the axie players if they make a noise asking for bookies to add this game to their list.

Bookies are always looking for money. If they see potential, there's no doubt that they will add it up and be available for all players and gamblers who love this game.

It may or may not happen even if the axie players make noise about adding esports betting on their platform. If they didn't add bookies and loose some players then they will be forced to add bookies to regain players and possibly more players to bet. It is also possible that they may implement KYC for those who want to bet on bookies and no KYC needed for those who don't want.

I think once they go full launch including the google play app and as well as the IOS. They can start contacting these bookies if it's possible to happen for the casinos. But right now, there's no way for the casino to do that so I agree that it's only possible today for the individual players to do that on their will.

If it's directly from the developers but as you've said, it's possible to gamble against other players as I've seen some are already asking to play with others with bet through playing against your friend but this feature has been disabled lately.

I was so anxious to try the game but when I started to learn about the game, I learned that we need a minimum of 3 Axie to even play the game. I thought like let's buy them but the cost for each Axie is hundreds of dollars and more which is beyond a free-to-play player like me lol.

I am not sure how exactly we can gamble on the game because they have their own marketplace to sell game items and it already works on the blockchain so not sure how exactly we can bet on it. Maybe because I haven't played the game yet, I am missing something about the game itself which can be bet on.

What is clear is that children need supervision from their parents in matters that have a betting feature in the game. But I'm sure this can be overcome and of course children will not dominate NFT-based games in Axie Infinity etc., even though there are some who use it. Children will prefer relatively simple games. So I'm not too worried about that.

Yes, eSports are related to gambling because they are one of the categories in which we can wager in fiat or cryptocurrency, but keep in mind that not all eSports are featured in gambling platforms. As you can see, those well-known esports tournaments get a lot of attention on streaming and gaming platforms.

The majority of them are taken seriously, and the clubs have managers who oversee how their players represent the corporation. I'm familiar with a number of games that have a large number of players but aren't marketed on any gaming platforms and aren't featured in any gambling platforms.

Of course, if a game is popular, devs will add a betting category for it; however, platforms will not list it rapidly just because it has a large player base. But let's see whether it's possible; everything I've mentioned so far is just my view, as I'm a gamer, and the hot games I'm playing right now with a strong tournament system and a large player population, aren't yet featured on any prominent crypto gambling site.

If the children think that the game is too complicated, they will not try to play. But some of them who can understand how to play that game will not think it is difficult because they can understand and can play it, even if they enjoy it. If they can add the funds into the games, I am afraid that can lead them to spend more money because of the fun thing. Yes, they can easily play and pretend they are adult people because it is not difficult to declare that they are adult people in the registration process.

If you are right about it, but it should be noted that the main strategy that AXIE Infinity has for now is that it is taking many people or clients from countries with inflationary economies, In Venezuela it continues to sweep, there are more and more people entering the game, now in Argentina they are entering the game with everything obtaining more liquidity.

Many are looking for a way to be in the Arena for PVP combats, because having a group of Gamers friends, some are creating many armies of Players Killers to take SLP and thus earn more. I think that one of the updates will be to launch the free mode of playing, so that everyone knows the game and at least the main cards.

and gambling sites will not risk their names and time in AXIE in which there are no bright future. this will end up losing in the following days after the trend so why put effort on this.

and besides i believe that there are already some gambling happening inside from some groups or individual that thinks this is good to bet and play.

in my area there are even increasing demand for becoming scholar of axie.

I do not understand that how gambling can take place on Axie Infinity as all of the fights are PVP and there is no betting on them.

Also do not consider that the team will launch free version of the game as the game is already very popular and people are willing to pay and buy the Axis players to play the game and earn SLP.

Thank you, this is what I wanted to hear ... but still this is not enough for a logical explanation since I see a few more holes. I dug deeper and found out that the funding rate for perpetual AXS on FTX and Binance was negative. "AXS's average annual funding rate was -47.02% year-on-year, while the eight-hour funding rate for AXS / USDT perpetual contracts has been in negative territory for at least 16 days". This is very strange since judging by the news and the platform is used by 1 million people every day and is recognized as the best protocol of the Ethereum blockchain in terms of income. not to mention the fact that the Philippine regulators want to tax Axie Infinity players and developers, which should also have a negative effect on capitalization ... as a result, I was completely confused because.

I am well aware that the gambling for Axie Infinity isn't established yet but if there is always an ongoing E-sports like this, then I think there is a chance. Currently, YGG's Axie Infinity E-sports^[1] is live on their facebook page with a prizepool of $35,000 and 64 teams^[2] are competing for it.

This is good news for those who believe in the development of the game! As I have seen in the examples of other games, it all starts with the fact that someone sets an interesting prize and the players begin to compete seriously for it, and this attracts even more attention from the outside. I wouldn't be surprised if everything goes according to the same scenario here.

I think Axie is the best game play to earn right now and give more profit than other game play to earn only exist few weeks, many scammer game play to earn created by Vietnam people where many people interested by giving much coin every day, than one or two weeks later website is down and coin going crash without any hope back to higher price like cryptohund gaming play to earn.

I think it's just a tournament for teams, gambling might appear if they organize a vote for the winning team.
Any game big enough will host a tournament. That's how they advertise their game.

Axie Infinity game is so much popular that it is on the radar of everyone. We never know if this games become more popular we have have global leaderboard and who knows there may be tournaments and betting on them too.

Even the governments are seeing that people are earning a lot from this app/game and they want to tax it too. For an example Axie Infinity Players Must Pay Taxes on Their Profits, Says the Philippines (https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/axie-infinity-players-must-pay-taxes-on-their-profits-says-the-philippines/)
