I also used to play certain games with my family, and I want to say that this is how love for a certain game begins. After that, if you have free time, you can meet up to watching eSports for this game. Of course, I'm not talking about single games, but about those where several people can play. And that's cool.
Of course, in eSports there is excitement and a desire to show yourself, and of course, big money. It's a pity that I, like you, have fewer and fewer free hours in my life lately.

virtual games that are played by group have been in existence for a long time for example is wii games where you can play with multiplayer mode with your family and friends by your television and the remote controller but that is not the same as that of in the gambling sector where its casino games that you can play with a group i think it can be interesting and would ignite competitiveness among your friends or family and could serve as a more entertaining gambling activity

That makes us slowly leave this games and choose the other games that attract us. Sometimes I miss to play that games with my bro and sis but that will not easy as we are busy and can not always meet. When we meet each other, we don't play the game but only talk and discuss about many things including share what we experienced. But sometimes I watched my kids and nephew when they play a game together and that reminds me about the past when I was kids.

I experienced played that similar game in PS and I admitted that is exciting to beat the opponents. I am often played the game with my brothers and sisters and cousin. Although I am not too good playing that game but that is fun especially if there is a prizes for the winners. I also experienced played that with my friends and of course, there is a small amount of money to bet Grin

But I don't play the game now and don't have the new PS machine. We already busy with our routine days and not too often to meet.

Having free time is really a problem when we reach a certain point in adult life, we have to divide the little time we have with other essential priorities. And the tendency is only to get worse, because adult life is extremely competitive and those who do not continue studying will fall behind... and in the end there is very little time left to really dedicate to games.

I find this very interesting.

And it is still an environment that is little explored by casino companies.

For example, I am a competitive player of the game Street Fighter 6. There are several championships around the world, including some with very high prizes (in the millions of dollars) and it would be very interesting to be able to bet money on some players, as is done with football team games. I believe that it would be extremely profitable for everyone involved.

I'm looking to place bets on Apex Legends for quite some time as I know most of the top players in the world because I was Top 3 Romania for quite some time but age was not on my side to pursue an Esports career. Unfortunately , no gambling site allows bets on Apex for now and it's kinda sad because the Pro Competition has been going on for 3 years now and if they didn't make it into gambling by now , I'm not sure they will ever make it. For SF 6 , do you have where to place bets ? also , do you follow the players ?

Also , a great speedrun gamble is CS2 first map , first round kills , Dota2 First blood , First to 5/10/15 kills.

I've never seen anywhere where it was possible to place bets on Street Fighter 6 tournaments. Some time ago I saw casinos where it was possible to place bets on the game Injustice 2, but fighting games I believe are still a very small niche to attract big companies supporting betting... And yes, I follow the best players in the world, MenaRD, tokido, Daigo, Punk, EndingWalker, Kusanagi... all very good.

Age really matters in competitive games, I'm almost 40 and my reflexes aren't the same as those of a 20-year-old boy, not to mention the time needed to dedicate myself, with family and work, it gets increasingly difficult...

For gamers the term speedrun is well known. It consists in finishing a game from the beginning to the end in the fastest possible time interval. There are global rankings where gamers compete among themselves for the best positions.

Coincidentally, yesterday I was scrolling through Youtube, when a live challenge appeared, where the youtuber was trying to break the world record in Mortal Kombat. If he managed doing so, the prize to be received was 1000 units of my local currency (about 164 dollars). He also mentioned the challenge was sponsored by Stake.

It called my attention to what could be another popular concept of gambling in the future. What do you think? It's totally possible to bet on determined gamers in an attempt to predict if they can break such world records or not.

Oh that's nice to be honest because gambling and gaming is integrating more, a lot of us loves playing games and this is one of the s tier entertainments. Betting on which speedrun time is cool but could be more a thing in the future, a lot will try to speedrun and because of this a lot of gamblers will try to get in. Eventually, they will try to learn the game too and get invested, this is where a community will be build and more progress in the gambling industry will grow.

I am very familiar with the term Speedrun and often watch them because I am a fan of video games. I really like watching speedruns because they contain a lot of interesting things: from finding glitches to using bugs. Speedrunners also show insanely fast reaction, which can only be innate. That's why they are all so unique, and of course I hope that casinos like Stake will develop this betting section, it will be interesting for all gamers.

If a casino like stake is sponsoring Speedrun, that means that it has a chance of being listed as a casino game in the future.

Perhaps you're right, but even if they considered that staying in their niche is safer and don't open the door to this kind of bets in the future, I think that they've identified a target audience in these speedruns and that the investment for this sponsorship will pay them good returns.

Gambling is evolving from only the regular casino games and popular sports like football, into accommodating anything that involves competition. If we can bet on presidential elections that has nothing to do with casino games and sports, I wouldn't be surprised if Speedrun, will be bet on in casinos. We need to accept innovations and additions into gambling to accommodate different categories of bettors that enjoys other types of sports and fun activities that involves competitions. If a casino like stake is sponsoring Speedrun, that means that it has a chance of being listed as a casino game in the future.

It's more likely the event will be listed on polymarket because the option is only yes or no.

Will this player beat the world record? yes or no.
Will someone able to beat the world record? yes or no.

Personally I don't like this kind gambling because it's hard to predict, except I personally know the participant in personal, so I can know how fastest he/she can finish the game.

It is a challenge, to beat the time or a race from start to finish, but since we can bet on racing sports like Monaco racing cars or even hurdles then it is still a form of gambling.

Moreover the definition of gambling is an act of predicting what will end a challenge or match, it doesn't matter if it is a fight or a rat race, money is involved and we currently don't know who the winner will be, applying money to this makes it a gamble.

Even to invest in crypto meme coins and altcoins this days are considered a gamble because many of them are scam and it is hard to know which one will do well and which one will fail, it is a gamble.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

Speedrunning to get paid? Where is the gamble in that? Its more like a gaming "challenge accepted" thing.

The question would be why stake is even sponsoring such an event? There is no risk in such games, it is just a matter of practice - back in the old days when internet was not so easy or cheap to get access to, people would master speedrunning the entire games for months.

Maybe it can be made "risky" and worth the money, but it will need some sort of things factored it.

This will gain a lot of attention from players of SNES, Nintendo, and old-school consoles like PS1. I have seen a lot of experienced players of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and other fighting games who could easily finish the fight without even using up the whole default allotted time of the game.
They did this before but not a speedrun, it's a tournament and I was really amazed at how many arcade players are still good at what they do even though they look old now.
I watched this guy.

I think it's going to be quite addictive for old-school console lovers out there and I wish they could add more games. Maybe more will go back to practicing those games and try new moves that will make the games popular again.

Would we be betting on the participants combatting, or getting rewarded of our speedrunning?

Because if we would be doing the speed runs ourselves, it would require us doing that supervised studio, so we couldn't use rigged equipment. That would need events specialized for that, and prices would be bad because that wouldn't draw enough of crowds, and tickets would barely cover the expenses that hosting such event would take.

And if we would be betting, i guess that would be option, but is there really enough people interested in that? And there's only so far we can go before limits of the code and equipment becomes the bottle neck.

It could be positive or negative depending whom you ask, by the way. There will be people within the videogame community who will say betting on competitive events related to videogames will cause some of the players to become corrupt and participate in match fixing, in the same manner there are been cases of it on e-sports like Dota or League of legends.
In special, those who are more conservative within the videogame community would assure you betting would ruin much of the spirit behind the joy of speed running and the PvP.
As for me, I don't see many problems ahead, as long there is a strict code of conduct for those who decide to participate within the competitive world of fishing games, sport games and even platformers.

In some point other players do the same thing like speedrun when it comes with the slot games, they are thinking re-rolling manually spins as fast as they can have the chance that the large multiplier or the bonus spin will shows up I do seeing this often doing by streamers and of course if they hit other players will try the same strategy, but of course there's no ranking at all right here just being luck hit the jackpot at all.

I wouldn't called this gambling. Maybe if they added time limits? E.g. the fastest record they can do in X months. Without any additional limits and just betting on the highest time limit, I reckon gamblers could just wait. Speedruns are there always, it's not gonna leave and there's hundreds of players who do them all the time. So bettors can just put out a shorter time to guarantee a win! So yeah, another limit is needed of sorts.

Still, I don't think it'd be any good as a gambling category. It's boring as hell compared to watching other sports after you have watched it for the first few times.
