Example:
- User A creates a match between Team A and Team B.
- User B places a bid of \$100 on Team A to win.
- User A accepts the bid.
- A contract is created between User A and User B, with the terms of the wager (e.g., \$100 on Team A to win).
Matches

- Teams involved
- Game title
- Date and time of the match
- Wager amount
- Dispute resolution process
- Joining matches: Other users can join a match by accepting the challenge or by bidding on the outcome of the match.
Example:
- User A creates a match between Team A and Team B.

- User C places a bid of \$50 on Team B to win.
- User A accepts the bid.
- The match is now confirmed, with three users participating.
Resolutions

After 8 hours, or if all parties agree, a team will review the evidence and make a final decision. The funds will then be transferred from escrow to the winner's wallet.
Example:
- User A submits the result of the match, with Team A winning.
- User B disputes the result, claiming that Team B actually won.
- User B submits proof to support their claim (e.g., a screenshot of the match results).
- A team reviews the evidence and determines that Team B actually won.
- The funds are transferred from escrow to User B's wallet.
Match Disputes
Match disputes can arise in esports wagering when there is disagreement about the outcome of a match. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as:
- A player or team may disagree with the official ruling of the match.
- A player or team may believe that they were cheated or that the match was unfair in some way.
- A player or team may simply be trying to scam the esports wagering site.
When a match dispute arises, it is important to have a fair and impartial process for resolving the dispute. The dispute resolution process should be clearly defined and communicated to all users of the esports wagering site.
The first step in resolving a match dispute is to gather evidence from all parties involved. This may include screenshots, videos, or other documentation. Once the evidence has been gathered, it should be reviewed by a team of experts who are knowledgeable about esports and esports wagering.
The experts will review the evidence and make a determination about the outcome of the match. This determination may be based on the official ruling of the match, the evidence submitted by the parties involved, or other factors.
Once the experts have made a determination, the esports wagering site will implement the decision. This may involve releasing the funds to the winner of the match, or it may involve refunding the wagers of all parties involved.
It is important to note that the dispute resolution process should be fair and impartial for all parties involved. The esports wagering site should have a clear and consistent process for resolving disputes, and the experts who review the evidence should be knowledgeable and unbiased.
Here are some tips for avoiding match disputes:
- Make sure that you understand the rules of the game and the esports wagering site before placing a wager.
- Be sure to take screenshots or videos of your match, in case you need to dispute the outcome.
- If you have a dispute, be respectful and professional in your communications with the esports wagering site.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your esports wagering experience is enjoyable and fair.
