We have been working on this project for a while and would love to get some constructive feedback before we start any fundraising.

Our intention is to use your suggestions and comments from this thread and address them in our whitepaper.


About ByteBet

ByteBet is a peer-to-peer, community-driven betting platform which allows players from anywhere in the world to create customized bets and play against each other.


Problem

In the original gambling model, players bet against the house where a high house edge is applied on every single bet the players make. In the old school betting model, bets can be easily manipulated and pay-outs can be delayed. The middleman’s intention is to make sure players lose as much money as possible.

Using blockchain technology, ByteBet lowers betting fees. This leaves more money for the players, providing a transparent betting environment. ByteBet eliminates the middleman, creating a fair betting platform where a portion of fees is shared with the community.


Benefits
  • Low betting fees: by using blockchain technology fees can be decreased, leaving more money for the players.
  • Reward system: a significant portion of the fees will be shared between members who took part in the event validation. Also, every ByteBet token holder receives a portion from the fees.
  • Peer-to-peer: players bet against each other, not against the house.
  • Customizable bets: players can create their own fully-customized bets and publish them on the platform.

How it works



A more detailed technical description of the process will be available in the whitepaper.

Roadmap


An updated roadmap will be published after the main token sale.

About ByteBet token (it’s not just for gamblers!)

ByteBet tokens are used by players to take part in games on the platform. Members who take part in verifying events receive a portion from the fees. Holding ByteBet tokens also entitles players to receive a share from the fees depending on their stake. Conditions regarding the tokens will be announced soon in the whitepaper.
