Topic: I got this idea about eSports and betting. Opinions? (Read 171 times)
I want to know the dramatic story of the first finger that breaks in your establishment
Have you heard of Dreamteam? They are an eSports coin.
Whereabouts in Europe are you? I am in Vienna and I have been daydreaming about opening an awesome gaming center as well, but I first need to make some big big gains in order to do that :p.
Cool idea!

How are you planning to attract gamers to your "physical" place? Why should they be interested visiting this place? Will you allow them to earn money or something?
Depends on how we'd market it. But the incentives are money and fame. They'd get money from the bets and also the possibility to know new people and attract organizations we're going to work with (which means sponsorship and possibility to play in international leagues).
The eSports industry is underdeveloped from my point of view and there's a lot that can be done.

Bump! 
Hey. Thank you for passing by, your opinion is much much appreciated. You're amazing!
I'm planning on doing the following in Europe:
Create a physical place of 24/7 gathering for gamers and gamblers where gamers can challenge each other and gamblers can bet on them (gamers too, but only on themselves). We provide HIGH END PC's and monitors for gaming, the gamers come up with their own periphericals (probably only mouse). It will be all automated meaning there's no need for employees besides security.
The bets can be placed only with crypto's, our own token (to reduce fees and be able to pay inside our place for other products) and in-game virtual items. NEVER with FIAT.
There's going to be a possibility to create bets online too, because every game is going to be streamed and is going to have a webcam aswell. Besides that, there's going to be online challenges to bet on.
The questions arise:
- Why are people going to bet on people who they don't know?
We plan to make it available for gamers who passed the online "training", as you could call, to be able participate in physical places. This gives the gamblers statistics to rely on.
- What are the incentives for gamers?
One of them is the possibility to make them known in eSports, connect with people in real life, invitations to our (or sponsored) tournaments and earn money from the bets (they get a percentage from the pool).
- What about the cheats?
There shouldn't be any cheats in offline gatherings, but everything is possible if they use a mouse to inject a cheat through drivers. For online, there will be an anti-cheat developed and have a lot of monitoring.
- Isn't too competitive in the industry?
There's no competition in real life for such kind of things, only if the existing gambling places catch up, also, the industry is growing rapidly. In my opinion, having the amount of experience I got in eSports - there's a lot of growth if you have good vision in mind and consider other factors other than just playing. It's just much more than that. Besides that, there's a lot of room for professionalism, getting shit done and good websites.
- What's up with the legal side?
We're looking into this. There's a big controversy because of using crypto's. If there's any lawyer here, feel free to hit me up. I think that there's a workaround given the availability to use in-game virtual items for gambling.
- How are you going to get money?
On bets transaction fee's, other products and sponsors.
Problems:
- Fairness: How to make the game as fair as possible so there's little to no penetration? Make the players anonymous?
I'd like to know your opinions. Thanks!
