Awesome idea, sadly i only have internet on the weekends for now.
Will we be able to bet with real money in the future? No. We wont be going down the real money road. That would require a gambling license. It would also restrict any USA players. It would also bring up the contentious issue of match fixing. I think the site can be better and more fun without real money on the line.
alright man, gonna register and try my luck then

Isn't this basically an unpaid ad, aka spam?

I think you should have on that update bar (which is great btw) telling us what they bet on for that match up not just that they placed a bet.
profile picture gets a big up in my book
really like the site I hear the koreans have something like this and I think this could grow pretty nicely.
Edit love the bet interface the profile pictures could be better but I like the set up for that bet interface

could you make it so that I can cancel a bet I made?

Not to take anything away from this website, I'll probably use it though I am worried something might happen. I'd be more worried if you actually did allow real money to be used for bets. Money gambling websites that bet on starcraft games have had a bit of a history around TL and korean eSports.

Yea. There are a huge range of issues with real money gambling on starcraft 2. That is exactly the reason I have made this website. You can have all the fun of gambling without the risk to your finances and more importantly without risking the integrity of eSports.
I can't make this any more clear. We dont and will never offer real money gambling We have big plans for the site, none of which involve getting a gambling license or in any way offering real money gambling.

As stated we are in beta. Due to a minor issue last night some of the bets have not been automatically processed. I am processing them now manually. I will let you know when everything has been completed.
Edit: All bets have now been processed.

Hoping for morrow to upset MC in dreamhack tonight. Make my risky bet pay off 
|
Props to putting up all the NASL matches
It would have been cool if you had little things like a bracket challenge for stuff like dreamhack and tsl with the closest person getting the pot.
the interface when working with multiple bets is broken I can only put down the ammount I want for one bet and the rest just sit there and I can open up that bet page.
Your in beta still so I don't expect something from you like instant bet payouts its cool that you really have something in the works at least for that though

no he wants beta testers so we can help him find bugs and make things better on his site before he goes into a full site.

Wow, I can't wait for a site that deals with real money bets on eSports.
But this is... fun I guess.
|
I dont like the whole "get 5 gg points for doing this referral"-thing you've got going on. Really lowers the way I see the site. Don't think I'll be using it. Ask for donations if you want money.

Can you be specific regarding the resolutions that have issues?
Font on embeddable images has been changed. Are there other areas in which you feel the font needs changing?

There already is. But I would be dubious about real betting on eSports ever truly taking off. There has already been a huge scandal around betting on Starcraft and due to the nature of the competition it is highly susceptible to manipulation.
Anyway, as stated were not going down that road. Good luck to anyone who wants to.

I have thought about this idea for a while now. I'm glad someone had the drive to create this! I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of it.
