Sbarter Looks for Investors In "Skill-Based" Pay-to-Earn Wager System
– 1 min read
New Swiss on the block(chain): Sbarter wants to bring investors on board for their new pay-to-earn system for video games. Player are supposed to bet money in the form of tokens against each other in ingame competitions, with the company and publishers opting in taking a cut.
Swiss company Sbarter wants to make pay-to-earn gaming a thing finally by pitting players against each other in “skill-based contests designed to be fair for players and safe for publishers”. Players that want to participate in games where publishers have included the Sbarter protocol can wager money in the form of Sbarter Tokens against each other on ingame competitions, like racing, or poker. Tokens are supposed to be revertible to actual money, with a portion of the wagered money going to publishers as well as Sbarter.
The system is in its conceptual phase at the moment, with Sbarter having completed pre-seed and seed funding. The company is now looking for a 40 million euros in a Series A round, offering 6 billion of their Sbarter tokens to investors as security.
“The gaming industry has been searching for new ways to engage players beyond traditional monetisation models. Sbarter answers that need by introducing a fun and compliant protocol that benefits players, publishers, and investors alike,” states Alessandro Fried, Chairman at Sbarter. “We’re not just adding rewards — we’re redefining the gaming economy with a system that respects both publishers and players.”
Sbarter is supposed to launch in Q1 2026, the company says.
