In today’s article, we take one more trip to the Metavault ecosystem, this time to explore a shiny, new product added to the suite, OxBets.

Traditional betting platforms and online casinos have long been viral. Nevertheless, I am strongly advocating for the gambling industry to prioritise delivering an exceptional user experience.

The above isn’t the only issue with on-chain casinos; in online gambling, players frequently find themselves compelled to place unwavering trust in the casino operator, even though they may not consistently uphold principles of fairness and integrity.

OxBets takes on a new approach to on-chain betting that allows for a quality 100% on-chain casino experience with no trade-offs. Here’s how it works. 

Modus Operandi

0xBets tackles the fundamental trust issue prevalent in online gambling platforms. To achieve this, they have implemented a fully verifiable on-chain technology that revolutionizes how gambling operates.

The platform is decentralized, ensuring that all contracts undergo rigorous verification on the blockchain. This approach offers a remarkable level of transparency and security to the users. OxBets takes immense pride in adhering to the highest standards of provable fairness, made possible through the integration of Chainlink's VRF technology.

With this cutting-edge technology in place, they proudly offer a betting experience that is entirely trustless. Users can have confidence in the transparent and tamper-proof nature of the random results generated. By introducing these groundbreaking features, the goal is to reinstate trust in the online gambling industry and provide a platform that users can depend on for an enjoyable and fair gaming experience.

Furthermore, the platform serves as a comprehensive casino hub, catering to the diverse preferences of users. OxBets offers a wide range of casino games, exciting PvP games, and a multitude of sports betting options.

No Cheat Zone

When it comes to online gambling, the randomness of outcomes is what ensures a fair playing ground for all users. Solid random mechanics make a betting system more secure than shallow random techniques.

0xBets utilizes Chainlink's VRF function on the Polygon network to ensure that all games can be played with the same level of fairness and transparency as in a physical casino. Chainlink VRF, which stands for Verifiable Random Function, is a reliable and transparent random number generator (RNG) that allows smart contracts to access random values securely and without compromising usability.

When a request is made, Chainlink VRF generates one or more random values and provides cryptographic proof of how those values were determined. This proof is then published and verified on the blockchain before it can be used by any consuming application. This rigorous process guarantees that the results cannot be tampered with or manipulated by any individual or entity, including Oracle operators, miners, users, or smart contract developers.

By leveraging Chainlink VRF, OxBets ensures that the games are provably fair, unbiased, and verifiably random. Players can have full confidence in the integrity of the outcomes, allowing for a trustworthy and enjoyable gaming experience on our platform.

• Once both players have made their choices, the game will reveal the results. If you win, your account will be credited with the winnings. In case of a loss, your bet will be deducted from your account balance.
• If the game results in a tie, you will have the option to either play again or receive your original bet back.
• Repeat the process for as many rounds as you desire to play.

Global affiliate program

Using one of the most famous marketing techniques, referral programs, OxBets is sharing a piece of the pie. If you’re not a gambler or preferably, degenerate, you can still earn up to 15% in commissions by sharing your referral link right after you sign up for the global affiliate program. 

The program is split into different tiers with the first tier being accorded to every user. In the first tier, you can earn up to 5% from the house edge. 

For the second tier, 10% of the profit is up for grabs so long as your referrals exceed $600k in volume. Lastly, the rewards for the third tier will be communicated by the ream.

Closing thoughts 

The Metavault team are making plans to add more games to 0xBets in future. Now, there’s a nice little text on 0xBet’s doc pages that is sure to warm the heart of any player. It goes like this;

If you play like me, you’d understand the significance of a caveat like this and how it shows genuine concern for players.

I believe that the simplicity of the games and the opportunities that lie within is a true value-add to the Metavault ecosystem.

0xBets is exciting as it sounds. Personally, I’ll be trying my hands at the games, I might just get lucky. You should too. And while you’re at it, check out the casino on Twitter or join the Telegram community to prize a winning strategy or two.
