发明名称 System and method of revealing the outcomes of real world wagers through timed reveals and reveal decay
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. The system may provide a time-conditioned reveal such that a certain action must be performed within some period of time (or by a deadline) to claim a potential payout. The system may provide a reveal decay, where the user may be given an opportunity to complete an action such that the longer it takes to complete the action, the payout amount that is revealed decreases to zero.

主权项 1. A computer implemented method of updating a user account balance based on outcomes of wagers placed on behalf of a user through a real currency wager system and revealing at least portions of the user account balance through an 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: causing, by the computer system, a wager to be placed on behalf of the user through the real currency wager system; obtaining, by the computer system, an outcome of the wager; incrementing, by the computer system, the user account balance based on the outcome; determining, by the computer system, at least a portion of the user account balance to be potentially revealed to the user, wherein the portion is associated with an expiration after which the portion is to be reduced by a reduction amount if not revealed on or before the expiration even though the user remains entitled to the reduction amount; transmitting, by the computer system, to the interactive media application, information that specifies the portion and an indication of the expiration; receiving, by the computer system, back from the interactive media application, information relating to one or more reveals made through the interactive media application; determining, by the computer system, based on the information received back from the interactive media application, an amount of the portion revealed by the interactive media application; and responsive to a determination that the amount is non-zero, decrementing, by the computer system, the amount from the user account balance.
