Can We Expect Gambling on Axie Infinity?

[cabalism13]

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

@Trainers

Hello Esports fans!

Today we are announcing that Sky Mavis is deploying a dedicated server for Axie esports while we work on scaling our primary game servers.

The server is target to be live at the end of the month, and to support this roll out, we are committing 5,000 AXS ($145,450) from the play- to-earn allocation pool in prize money for community tournaments taking place this year.


We are accepting event proposals from July 15th - July 29th from community tournament organizers and will publish a schedule for the rest of the year, after approving select events.

We will review all of the event proposals submitted by August 6th, 2021 with the goal of coming up with a master schedule for the next four months.

Our team is hoping to schedule about 10 events during this four month period, with the goal of spreading the AXS across multiple regions and skill-levels.

Please see all of the information here:

P.S. There’s a leek inside!

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.

[blockman]

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.

[uneng]

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.

[Darker45]

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.

[rhomelmabini]

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.

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.

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.

[Maus0728]

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.
