Anonymous Betting Platform for Sports and Events

Project Goals

The goal of this project was to create an online betting service where users could place bets on sports and other events while maintaining full anonymity. The platform needed to ensure privacy and ease of use, supporting various betting types and secure payment options.

Functional Capabilities

• Bet Management: Users can place and accept bets, monitor the status of their bets, and verify payment status.
• Payment Integration: The platform supports cryptocurrency payments to maintain user anonymity. It also calculates payout distributions, accounting for service commissions.
• Notification System: Notifications are sent to users via email and Telegram. The system also automatically posts and updates betting information in a public Telegram channel to keep users informed.
• Betting Types: Supports both "one-on-one" bets and group bets with different payout calculation algorithms to meet various user preferences.
• User Dashboard: Each user has a private dashboard that allows them to review their betting and payment history in a secure environment.

Solution Concept

The solution was developed as a secure, web-based platform that emphasizes privacy. To achieve this, the system leverages cryptocurrency payments and minimal user data collection. The frontend allows users to interact with the platform easily, while the backend manages secure bet placements and anonymous payment processing.

A core challenge was ensuring that all user interactions were fully anonymous. This included developing an architecture that limits personal data storage, and ensuring that any identifiable information was minimized during all operations. Telegram and email notifications were used for their end-to-end encrypted capabilities, enabling safe communication with users without compromising their anonymity.

Results

• User Privacy and Anonymity: Achieved full user anonymity throughout the betting process, from placing a bet to receiving winnings.
• Seamless Bet Management: Implemented effective bet placement and management features that allow users to participate without revealing personal data.
• Cryptocurrency Integration: Integrated major cryptocurrencies for deposits and withdrawals, enhancing user anonymity and payment flexibility.
