# Competitive landscape

Some of the largest cryptocurrency betting and prediction platforms incorporate payment via crypto, and do not utilize the blockchain itself in-game. Those that do often port a standard online casino atmosphere to a blockchain environment, with casino and sports betting that mirrors what users might find in a fiat-based online casino, or an in-person casino. 

Some projects are attempting to make inroads towards innovating the sector, providing a betting system through a bot on Telegram. We think that an even more powerful prediction tool could be used on Discord for all gamers to benefit with such great technology.
