Can We Expect Gambling on Axie Infinity?

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

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.

Axie Infinity most seriously with gaming platform and not any chance or space with gambling network, I see thousand people have play with Axie Infinity game and developer keep focus only gaming network than trying with gambling, maybe if they try with gambling platform have any possibility with thousand hundred member will left this game and not any people agree to combine with gambling.

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.

There is fake news spreading that free-to-play Axies from the upcoming V2 battles (Origin) will be able to earn tokens.
The free Axies will be solely for introducing people to the game and will have no earning ability.

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:

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.

[Obito]

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.

[Fesatmas]

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.

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.

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:



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.
