The Problem with Traditional Sports Betting

Sports betting and prediction platforms have historically operated as black boxes. Users place bets, results are declared, and payouts are distributed—but the underlying mechanics remain hidden. This opacity breeds distrust, enables manipulation, and leaves users without recourse when things go wrong.

PerBlock's AnyBet platform fundamentally changes this paradigm.

Introducing AnyBet

AnyBet is a sports prediction platform where users engage with virtual IMP tokens—not real money—in a completely transparent ecosystem. Every aspect of the platform, from bet placement to payout distribution, is recorded on an immutable blockchain ledger.

Complete Transparency

The cornerstone of AnyBet is radical transparency. Users can verify:

  • Total pool sizes for every match
  • Distribution of bets across outcomes
  • Settlement calculations and payout formulas
  • Historical transaction records
  • Platform revenue (a modest 2% fee)

This isn't transparency as a marketing buzzword—it's transparency as a technical guarantee.

The IMP Token Economy

AnyBet operates on a fixed supply of 20 billion IMP tokens, creating a closed economic system with guaranteed integrity. The token economy is structured across four holders:

  1. User Balances: Tokens held by platform participants
  2. Match Pools: Tokens wagered on active matches
  3. Treasury: Platform reserves for new user onboarding
  4. Revenue Account: Platform earnings from settlements

A system invariant ensures these four categories always sum to exactly 20 billion IMP—any discrepancy would be immediately detectable and traceable.

How Predictions Work

Match Lifecycle

Matches on AnyBet progress through a clear lifecycle:

  1. Scheduled: Match announced, betting not yet open
  2. Active: Betting window open—users can place predictions
  3. Waiting for Result: Betting closed, awaiting outcome
  4. Calculating: Result entered, payouts being processed
  5. Finished: Settlement complete, winnings distributed

Fair Settlement

When a match concludes, AnyBet's smart contracts execute an atomic settlement process:

  • 2% of the total pool goes to platform revenue
  • 98% is distributed proportionally to winning predictors
  • All transactions are logged with complete audit trails

If no users predicted correctly, 50% is refunded to all participants, with the remainder going to the unclaimed pool—nothing is lost or hidden.

Live Features

Real-Time Match Integration

AnyBet integrates with TheSportsDB API to automatically create matches from real sporting events across Football, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Basketball, and more. Results are fetched automatically, enabling seamless settlement without manual intervention.

Live Chat

Each match features real-time chat where users can discuss predictions, share analysis, and engage with fellow sports enthusiasts. Moderation tools ensure conversations remain respectful and productive.

Comprehensive Analytics

The admin dashboard provides insights into user engagement, betting patterns, geographic distribution, and platform health—all while maintaining user privacy.

Security and Integrity

AnyBet implements multiple layers of protection:

  • Row Level Security (RLS): Database policies ensure users only access their own sensitive data
  • Email Verification: Betting requires verified accounts to prevent fraud
  • Atomic Transactions: Settlement operations are all-or-nothing, preventing partial states
  • Soft Deletes: User accounts can be disabled while preserving audit trails

Built for the Modern Web

AnyBet's frontend leverages cutting-edge technologies:

  • React 18 with TypeScript for reliable, maintainable code
  • TanStack Query for efficient data fetching and caching
  • Tailwind CSS with a custom design system featuring semantic color tokens
  • Supabase for real-time subscriptions and authentication
  • Vercel for global edge deployment

The result is a fast, responsive application that feels native on any device.

AnyBet exemplifies PerBlock's commitment to building platforms where fairness is provable, not promised. By recording every action on an immutable ledger and opening our calculations to inspection, we've created a prediction platform that users can trust not because they trust us, but because they can verify us.
