Strategic Positioning

We're targeting the fastest-growing segment of iGaming—skill-based gaming platforms. Building infrastructure for operators exploring skill-based gaming as an alternative to traditional chance-based products, with sustainable unit economics.

The Operator Challenge

The iGaming Industry is Shifting to Skill-Based Models

Traditional chance-based products face increasing regulatory scrutiny. Operators need skill-based alternatives that offer clearer regulatory pathways while engaging fans.

0%

Fans Disconnected from Traditional Betting

Younger, digitally-native sports fans demand interactive, skill-based experiences—not passive wagering on odds.

Regulatory Pressure

Chance-based sweepstakes facing bans. Operators seeking skill-based alternatives.

Revenue Compression

Traditional betting margins shrinking. Need new revenue streams.

Market Fragmentation

Jurisdictional complexity makes expansion difficult. One platform, multiple markets.

US Sweepstakes Crackdown (2025)

Multiple states banned chance-based sweepstakes casinos. Operators pivoting to skill-based models as regulatory alternative.

Latin America + Africa = $27.6B Opportunity

Emerging markets ready for skill-based alternatives. Brazil, Colombia, South Africa leading adoption.

How It Works

Skill-Based Competition Flow

A transparent, knowledge-driven game where outcomes depend on player skill, not chance.

Entry & Setup

Fans enter competitions via free or paid entry. Configure stake-based or sweepstakes models. No traditional betting required. Fans receive a Game Cube as their entry credential with verifiable digital ownership.

1

Pre-Match Skill Actions

Before the match starts, fans make predictions: player stats, match events, scoring patterns, tactical decisions. These are knowledge-based forecasts, not wagering bets.

2

In-Match Decisions

During live play, fans make limited strategic adjustments based on real-time data. Think fantasy sports meets live competition—skill-based, not chance-based.

3

Scoring System

Points awarded based on accuracy and timing. Transparent scoring algorithm—no black box. The best predictions win. Skill and sports knowledge determine outcomes.

4

Rewards & Progression

Top performers receive rewards: cash prizes, digital collectibles, branded merchandise, or operator-defined incentives. Game Cubes accumulate stats and can be traded on secondary markets for liquidity.

5

Skill-Based Game Design

Designed with mechanics emphasizing prediction accuracy and sports knowledge. Operators configure scoring algorithms, entry models, and prize distribution to satisfy skill-based tests in their jurisdiction.

Configuration Note: Legal classification depends on how operators configure entry fees, randomness vs skill in outcome determination, and prize distribution. Operators must design competition mechanics to satisfy skill-based legal tests applicable in their jurisdiction.
Compliance Framework

Built for Skill-Based Gaming Frameworks

Important Disclaimer: This page provides positioning guidance only, not legal advice. Fan Game Cube provides technology infrastructure—we do NOT provide legal advice, guarantee compliance, or assume regulatory responsibility.

What constitutes "skill-based" varies by jurisdiction (Dominant Factor Test, Material Element Test, Any Chance Test). Operators must obtain independent legal opinions for each target jurisdiction.

Technology infrastructure designed to support operator-configured skill-based competitions. Compliance depends on game mechanics, local regulations, and operator licensing.

Configurable for skill-based competition

When operators design mechanics emphasizing knowledge and strategy over chance

Flexible entry models

Supports free-entry and alternative-entry configurations (operator must verify legal status)

No fixed odds betting

Distinct from traditional sportsbooks with house-set probabilities

Entry-funded prize pools

Platform design allows prize pools funded by entries rather than operator balance sheets

Adaptable architecture

Operators configure mechanics to align with their jurisdiction's requirements

Operator-controlled configuration

Operators set rules, scoring, and mechanics to meet their compliance needs
