BetArmy.com adds a new dimension to social gaming and online gambling. The new site allows players to compete against one another in their favourite console games – for cash prizes. Merging traditional gaming with online betting, BetArmy.com offers something completely new for the online gaming world. The way it works is quite simple.
Two players log on to BetArmy.com and decide which game they would like to play. There are plenty of titles for plenty of platforms available, such as Xbox 360, Steam and Playstation 3. They decide on the amount of money that they would like to wager on the game. After the game is over, the winner receives the loser’s wager.
"We kept hearing that gamers wanted a place to go where they could compete and play what they wanted and when and have a wider variety of games to choose from,” says John Jerney, president of BetArmy. “This coupled with being able to play on a plethora of platforms gives our customers the positive experience they are looking for."
Each game is offered with different stakes, and players can choose to spend anywhere from $1 to $20 on a match. For example, players can spend $10 on FIFA ’13 or $20, which will determine how generous the prize will be for the winner. This is quite an interesting concept, and echoes the efforts made by Virgin Gaming.
This is another site which allows core gamers to compete for cash prizes, and seems to have started a trend in the market. There are few sites which offer this capability, and we are eager to see this market expand. As core gaming and online gambling become increasingly popular, it will be interesting to see the ways in which they develop together.
