Betr, a sports gaming company started by Joey Levy, an entrepreneur, and Jake Paul, a YouTuber who became a boxer, has expanded its reach in the US market. Levyand Paulhave now launched Betr Arcade, a new platform for skill-based gaming where players compete against each other. This new feature is available in 29 US states. Betrhas added this to their existing Betr Picks app, which already works in 32 areas across the country.

Betr Arcade Rolls Out Four Games, Targets States Without Legal Online Casinos

The platform launched with four interactive games— 21, Fruit Match Crossout 21, and 5 Across — which let players compete against each other instead of a central operator. Each game has a minimum bet of $1.25, but users can also practice for free before they risk real money.

By focusing on games where players compete against each other, Betr Arcadeavoids many of the rules that have limited online casinos in the US where legal iGaming is allowed in onlyseven states. This strategy has allowed Betrto launch its product in places where traditional online gambling is still not legal, including big states like California, Florida, andTexas.

Levy shared newsof the launchon social media, showing a video of Paultrying out the platform’s main game 21. He stressed that this debut starts a bigger plan to expand Betr’s products saying that new games and more jurisdictionswill come out in the next few months. Levyalso gave credit to the company’s team for spending months getting ready for this release, calling the launch a key step to becoming a big name in skill gaming.

Jake Paul’s Involvement Boosts Visibility for Growing Skill Gaming Platform

Paul’s rolehas boosted the platform’s profile, catching the eye of both gamers and his large online following. Experts in the field think this mix of influencer marketing and new tech might give Betr Arcadean edge in the growing skill gaming market.

The platform also draws in players from states with strict gambling laws, giving them a legal option that mixes the thrill of betting with the tactics of skill-based games. By working in this specific area, Betraims to grab a part of the market that big betting companies have ignored.
