The invention relates to systems and methods of placing real-world wagers, obtaining outcomes of the real-world wagers, facilitating user interactions with various interactive media, and revealing the outcomes of the real-world wagers based on invitations to give an appearance that the outcomes of the real-world wagers resulted from the invitations even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the invitations. The system may provide an invitation to participate in a reveal opportunity. For example, the system may invite the user to play a specific game (e.g., “play this game to claim five dollars”), interact with multi-media content (e.g., “watch a video to win ten dollars”), challenge one or more other players (e.g., “challenge another player to win two dollars”), engage in some other objective, and/or otherwise accept an opportunity to reveal at least a portion of a payout that has not yet been revealed. |

1. A computer implemented method of providing one or more invitations to a user that, when accepted by the user, cause at least a portion of a user account balance to be revealed to the user, wherein the user account balance is based on outcomes of wagers placed on behalf of the user, the method being implemented in a computer system having one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, cause the computer system to perform the method, the method comprising:
causing, by the computer system, a wager to be placed on behalf of the user through a real currency wagering system; obtaining, by the computer system, an outcome of the wager; updating, by the computer system, the user account balance based on the outcome; causing, by the computer system, an invitation, from among the one or more invitations, which is disparate from the outcome of the wager, to be provided to the user, wherein the invitation invites the user to perform an action such that the portion of the user account balance, when revealed to the user, appears to have resulted from an acceptance of the invitation; determining, by the computer system, whether the invitation was accepted by the user via one or more physical input devices; responsive to a determination that the invitation was accepted by the user via the one or more physical input devices, causing, by the computer system, at least the portion of the user account balance to be revealed to the user; and responsive to a determination that the invitation was not accepted by the user via the one or more physical input devices, not revealing the portion of the user account balance to the user such that the portion of the user account balance is saved for a later reveal opportunity for the user. |
