System and Method of Providing Wagering Opportunities Based on Invitations

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method of revealing outcomes of real world wagers through one or more invitations such that acceptance of the one or more invitations appear to result in the outcomes, 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, an outcome of the real-world wager such that the outcome is predetermined; providing, by the computer system, an invitation to perform an action to potentially receive a reward if the invitation is accepted, wherein the reward is associated with at least a portion of the outcome such that the portion of the outcome, 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; responsive to a determination that the invitation was accepted, determining whether to reveal the portion of the outcome; and responsive to a determination that the invitation was not accepted, not revealing the portion of the outcome to the user and saving the portion of the outcome for a later reveal opportunity for the user.
