ArcadeBet has 1 granted patent in Esports.
The patent covers technology for wagering on personal video game matches without requiring publisher APIs. The system captures gameplay through screen sharing, uses optical character recognition and machine learning to determine match outcomes, and manages payouts through smart contract escrow with a dispute resolution window.
The Esports patent tackles a problem that arises when players want to wager on their own matches but the game publisher provides no official API or telemetry feed. Instead of relying on data from the game itself, the system captures frames from each player's screen share and extracts the match result directly from the pixels. A two-stage pipeline keeps costs down by running fast template matching or OCR first to identify when a frame shows something worth analyzing, then invoking a slower machine learning model only on those relevant frames to classify the outcome. Before releasing escrowed funds on-chain, the resolver cross-checks the screen-derived evidence from both players to confirm agreement, and a dispute window allows time for challenges.
