Video Game Betting Questionable

The United States’ decision to make the offshore online casino gambling industry illegal has now led to the current trend in the US, questionable sites. The US internet gambling industry is potentially worth billions over time and this potential is scarcely being tapped by the current legal forms of betting and gaming – and particularly not by the land gambling industry. A Canadian born US resident has just launched a new gaming platform that will push and test the specifications within the UIGEA by offering online betting on skill based video games.

Francisco Diaz-Mitoma has just announced the launch of the Titan Platform which is specifically designed to allow betting on multiplayer console and computer games. The Titan Platform, developed and being released by Titan Gaming Inc, has a lot of potential to succeed and pass the UIGEA filters because the betting is entirely based on skill gaming, an internet based pastime that is still legal in the US. The UIGEA is specifically against the type of chance gaming you find in the online casinos but skill gaming is a whole other arena, even if it includes video game betting – at least that’s what Diaz-Mitoma is hoping.

Diaz-Mitoma has designed the software to only work with games of skill because that way it will not trigger the federal government’s online casino radar. The scale of the betting is also very small and is designed for more casual game play. All of this being said, the actual legality of the Titan Platform is still up in the air; the federal government has not cleared the wagering method so it is still unclear how long Titan will run.
