In today’s society, life without the Internet is an almost unthinkable prospect. The Internet has changed what people do, including betting on sports and gambling. Whereas traditional sports betting could only be done in certain places at the same time, now anyone can bet on their favourite games anywhere via the Internet.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, people had to rely on local newspapers and pre-match TV shows for the latest breaking news, which had obvious limitations and often contained false information.
During this time, some made a fortune in betting. For example, Micky Charles turned his garage into the headquarters of Dial Sports, one of the earliest paid services that provided frequent match score updates. Charles was one of the mouthpieces of sports betting in the 1970s and 80s.
In the early 1990s, sports betting started to appear on the Internet. In those days, the Internet was the Wild West and much of the activity was uncontrolled as rules were made up as they went along.
The first site was Everygame in 1996, and others soon followed. Placing bets on sports events over the internet has been very popular with gamblers around the world, and the industry has grown tremendously.
Sports betting has certainly grown and established itself as one of the main types of gambling. What’s more, it has become even more attractive following the move to web3. Platforms now offer fast transactions, instant payouts, no middlemen, no registration and no user bans.
Seeing an opportunity to introduce web3 into betting, Dexsport was created. Dexsport is the first web3 cryptocurrency betting platform built on the principles of transparency and anonymity of its users. Dexsport users play with a shared pool of liquidity and receive their winnings immediately via blockchain.
