Title: Video Game Gambling
Post by: PenguinFire on February 26, 2015, 12:47:51 AM
Is there any service where you play and bet on popular video games?  It could be a simple forum where matches are posted so you know the person you are playing/gambling with has a good reputation and is honest.  I guess this would be difficult as there are bots for games but there are bots for any type of online game be it in a casino or not.

This is just a thought.  Please don't attack me.

I think he's asking for sites where you can bet on yourself in 1v1 games.  I know there used to be a site for this with fiat (it was popular with Madden players) but haven't heard of anything like this for bitcoin.

leetcoin.com Lets you challenge players on league of legends. I'm not sure how populated it is (I can't play because of where I live) but they made a nice post on the bitcoin subreddit about a week ago.

It would be quite nice to be able to bet on a game of NFL Madden or NBA 2K.

I have something in the works to set something like this up but currently it's on the shelf behind many other projects.

The real problem that I haven't figured out yet is how to get the casual gamer to participate.  People who are good and know certain 'spam moves' and glitches will always be down to put out money as it will yield positive results, but how do we reach someone who wants to play for fun with a bit of money or Bitcoin involved without getting his ass handed to him everytime.

I would give it a go. :)  I would love to bet on Hearthstone by Blizzard.  It is a free to play (somewhat) card game that is short, balanced, and fair.  I would totally pay 2 percent of my winning to a service that provided the opportunity to do that.

You answered it yourself, the problem with these sort of games is there are people who have very fast computers and they can have bots play for them to win when there's a prize involved.
