System and method of revealing the outcomes of real world wagers through skill based actions

摘要

The invention relates to systems and methods of selecting and placing real-world wagers responsive to one or more wager triggers, obtaining outcomes of the real-world wagers, facilitating skill-based actions with various interactive media, and revealing the outcomes of the real-world wagers through the interactive media to give an appearance that the outcomes of the real-world wagers resulted from skill-based actions even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the user interactions. The system may reveal an outcome of a real-world wager through the skill-based action, which is required to claim a value of the reveal. The skill-based action may include an action that requires interaction from a user and for which is not completely dependent on chance for the user to achieve the action.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method of updating a user account balance based on one or more outcomes of wagers placed on behalf of a user and causing the reveal of at least a portion of the user account balance to the user through an interactive media application based on skill-based user interactions with the interactive media application, 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:
obtaining, by the computer system, location information from a user device associated with the user; determining, by the computer system, a location of the user based on the location information; causing, by the computer system, a wager to be placed on behalf of the user through a real currency wagering system based on the location of the user; obtaining, by the computer system, an amount of a payout of the wager; updating, by the computer system, the user account balance based on the amount of the payout; determining, by the computer system, at least a portion of the user account balance to be potentially revealed to the user subject to satisfaction of a skill-based objective in the interactive media application; causing, by the computer system, information that specifies the portion of the user account balance to be transmitted to the interactive media application via a network; receiving, by the computer system, back from the interactive media application, information relating to the reveal that is based on whether the skill-based objective has been satisfied; and updating, by the computer system, the user account balance based on the information received back from the interactive media application.
