Gamers often wonder if the casino cheated them out of their winnings and therefore don’t play as much. They are also reluctant to try exciting new games, if they are not backed by a well known brand.
Even if an independent game developer creates a fun new game, it is costly to acquire players and offer liquidity, and near-impossible to get a gambling license—the compliance burden is too high for the little guy. Further, the use of third-party payment solutions reduce profits.
Due to the high barriers to entry, a few large and boring companies control the online gambling market. They have little incentive to innovate or launch exciting games that could attract new casual gamers (especially among millennials).
In traditional online gambling, the process behind the result of a game is a ‘black-box’.
A gamer has to blindly trust that game-play was ‘fair’ i.e. the casino did not cheat.
On JoyToken’s platform, a game’s rules are encoded in a transparent ‘smart contract’ that runs automatically and allocates winnings.
At any time, the player can verify that the result is true and game-play was fair.
Smart contracts have two important properties that insure this:
In addition to the fair-play guaranteed by smart contracts, gamers-not the casino-control their funds using smart wallets.
Only when a game ends, does the smart contract access the player’s wallet, crediting or withdrawing tokens depending on who won.
JoyToken is a marketplace similar to Apple’s App store. Developers who create innovative games can get users more easily and earn money in “real-time” as the games are played.
Independent game developers no longer have to worry about gambling licenses or regulatory compliance. Once we approve a new game, it becomes legal to play in all countries where JoyToken operates.
Established casinos on the platform offer gamers liquidity (tokens) to play the new exciting games launched by independent developers.
The casinos, in turn, benefit by getting new games. Developers can therefore focus on what they do best—innovate, unleash creativity and offer new, thrilling games!
The platform is live and users can play our games. Less than 1 in 10 token sales launch with a working product.
We operate an existing online casino (PlayCosmo) with over 20,000 users and 3 independent game developers. We have therefore solved one of the hardest challenges in building a marketplace—the classic “chicken-egg” problem.
There are only 3 recession-proof markets: alcohol, tobacco and gambling. Alcohol and tobacco are in decline while online gambling is growing fast. In this type of market, the rising tide lifts all boats. You can make a lot of mistakes and still do well.
By solving trust we expect to attract many more casual gamers, especially millennials. And when game developers are freed from the burden of acquiring users, offering liquidity and obtaining gambling licenses, they can innovate.
