System and method of timing wagers in an integrated wagering and interactive media platform

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 user interactions 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 the user interactions even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the user interactions. A real-world wager may be initiated by one or more wager triggers that cause the real-world wager to be placed. The one or more wager triggers may include, without limitation, acquisition of a token, user selection or initiation of interactive media (e.g., selection of a game to play), an occurrence of an event in the interactive media (e.g., based on a user controlled or other in-game action), and/or other events.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method of triggering real-world wagers through interactive media executed on a user device having at least one physical input, 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:
receiving, by the computer system, a wager trigger that causes one or more real-world wagers to be placed on behalf of a user without an explicit request by a user for the one or more real-world wagers; causing, by the computer system, a real-world wager to be placed on behalf of the user based on the wager trigger; obtaining, by the computer system, an outcome of the real-world wager; and causing, by the computer system, information to be transmitted to the interactive media that indicates at least a portion of the outcome to be revealed to the user through the interactive media, wherein the portion of the outcome is revealed to the user in response to a user input with the physical input associated with a user interaction with the interactive media to give the appearance that the user won the revealed portion based on the user interaction.
