Making A Bet On The “Hold My Beer” Business

WATERLOO, Ontario, May 21st, 2018 Blockstake Inc. -- (“Blockstake” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has acquired a pre-ICO institutional stake in the peer-to-peer, decentralized, social betting platform MEVU. In addition to traditional sports betting, MEVU users can “turn any situation into a social bet; who can drink the fastest, who will win the next round of golf, or be the first to lose 10 pounds.”

Currently, clients of betting platforms must rely on 3^rd parties to handle almost every aspect of their transactions. They have high wait times, fees, and are vulnerable to a list of security problems and regulatory repercussions.Despite this, a study published by Research and Markets predicts the global gambling market will reach $635 billion by 2022.

Blockstake Founder and CEO, Thomas McLaughlin, says “One of the most compelling uses of blockchain technology is to facilitate P2P transactions to eliminate middle-men. With traditional fees for bookies ranging from 10-15% per transaction to bet on live sporting events, there is a huge opportunity to unlock value for those placing wagers. A company like MEVU seems perfectly poised to capitalize on the future of wagering and Blockstake is excited to support their enterprise.
