Betr Pushes for Skill-Based Gaming with Betr Arcade

Betr advances skill-based gaming through Betr Arcade, now accessible in 29 states.

Peer to Peer

Betr, a sports gaming company co-founded by entrepreneurs Joey Levy and Jake Paul, officially launches Betr Arcade, a peer-to-peer skill-based gaming platform. Betr offers a refreshing take on online gaming that’s currently facing heated regulatory checks. The launch of Betr Arcade coincides with a period of rapid evolution in the US gaming laws and the exits of multiple operators across states. 

Betr enters the fast-changing iGaming landscape with its peer-to-peer model, which is more acceptable compared to its sweepstakes casino counterpart. This new product is currently accessible in 29 states, including Florida, Texas, and California, where traditional casino gaming against the house isn’t allowed.

Betr Arcade: A Fresh Approach to Online Gaming

Betr Site

Betr Arcade is a new game feature that uses skill-matching for all Head-to-Head and Multiplayer contests, seamlessly integrating with the existing Betr Picks app. Betr Picks involves contests in multiple different formats for sports like, National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Major League Baseball (MLB).  

Unlike sweepstakes casinos and traditional casino gaming, Betr’s P2P model is largely allowed yet regulated, with its games categorized under “skills-based contests”.

Since users are already familiar with Betr’s sports betting, the transition to a new gaming space with skill-based titles is smoother. With the new platform, users can engage in real-money competitions where they compete with one another, instead of competing against the platform. This approach makes it different from sweepstakes casinos and traditional online casinos.

What Games Can You Play At Betr Arcade?

The games offered on Betr Arcade are interactive, engaging, and skill-intensive. Here’s the initial lineup of skill-intensive Betr Arcade games: 

  • 21. Match number tiles to reach 21 and earn points through clears and streaks.
  • Fruit Match. Swap symbols to create combos and score points with cascading matches.
  • Crossout 21. Swipe to form combinations of tiles that total 21.
  • 5 Across. Race against time to match numbers and achieve Bingos.
  • Touchdown Rush. Swipe to control a runner and dodge defenders for points.
  • Shootout Saloon. Hit as many opponents as possible while avoiding damage.
  • Tappy Dunk. Bounce the ball into baskets and score based on streaks.

Each game requires more than just luck, but the player's ability to strategize and react quickly and accurately against opponents. 

Betr Arcade: Exciting, Social, Accessible

Betr Arcade offers a unique experience which is usually absent in traditional casino gaming. Here’s how you can benefit from this new Betr feature. 

  • Promotes social interaction as players compete against each other.
  • Accessible to users, especially casual players, as they can bet with a minimum of $1.25.
  • Playable in practice mode, allowing users to familiarize the gameplay before playing for real money

Launched in 29 states, including major markets like Texas, Florida, and California, Betr Arcade is positioned to reach a wide audience, bypassing some restrictions through its peer-to-peer model.

What’s Next For Betr 

Looking ahead, Betr Arcade is positioned for further growth, with plans to launch new games and expand into additional offerings. This will help Betr strengthen its current position in the competitive U.S. skill-based gaming market.
