Peerplays Blockchain Standards Association
What is PBSA?
PBSA develops cutting-edge software for the video game industry, with a focus on the burgeoning video game live streaming trend, as well as working towards further upgrades and gamification of the Peerplays blockchain.
Previously, PBSA launched BookiePro, a fully decentralized sports betting exchange.
PBSA builds cutting-edge blockchain products that can be used today but will protect betting communities around the world for decades to come.
We have our headquarters in a decommissioned nuclear bunker in Debert, Nova Scotia. Our dynamic team of software engineers, blockchain strategists, and communications professionals is involved in some of the most exciting and impactful blockchain projects in development today.
Why is PBSA Needed?
- Regulatory frameworks are regressive, out-of-date, and slow to evolve
- Self-regulation of betting operators has predictably disastrous results
- Bettors often turn to untrustworthy betting operators in order to place a bet
- Exploitative targeting of problem gamblers is endemic amongst operators
- Betting transactions are stored on private, centralized servers with zero transparency
Since the arrival of Bitcoin, countless whitepapers have promised to revolutionize the betting industry using blockchain technology. The reality has been poorly-conceived, technologically under-powered projects, with the enrichment of early investors a primary goal.
The traditional betting industry is in desperate need of modernization and reform. But the transformative power of decentralization must be harnessed for the good of individual bettors, not just a small number of blockchain speculators.
With decades of combined experience in both the gaming and blockchain worlds, PBSA is ideally placed to take on a leadership role in this period of change, and ensure that blockchain gaming is a liberating, positive force for bettors everywhere.
PBSA Values
Specifically, PBSA believes that any individual placing a bet should have the freedom to do so:
- On a platform that is provably fair
- From anywhere in the world
- On the game, event or activity of their choosing
- On a platform that supports real-time transactional transparency
- Without the involvement of third party betting operators
- Without the involvement of financial institutions
- With or without a bank account or credit history
- Privately and anonymously
