Betswap.gg, the revolutionary peer-to-peer sports betting exchange, has made the number one spot as the “Top Polygon Gambling App” in crypto betting on dApp Radar’s ranking page relative to other blockchain companies based on their trading volume in the past 24 hours, 7 and 30 days.

Betswap.gg launched the beta version of their sports betting site only two and a half months ago. They have since brought in $2.2 million in trading volume across more than 18,000 bets, taking them to the top spot on the leaderboard in an impressively short period of time. According to dApp Rader, in the last 30 days, Betswap.gg has brought in $1.34 million dollars in trading volume and a huge $885.39k in the past seven days on the Polygon chain.

In addition to this, dApp Radar has put Betswap.gg in position number 2 across chains in the category “Top Gambling dApps” in the past seven days, with their trading volume currently standing at $886.88k.

In a short period of time, Betswap has proven to be a leader in the decentralised sports betting scene, posing a real threat to competitors and other protocols planning to join the space, some of whom have recently come under pressure by their community and labeled as a “centralised betting exchange” after requiring users to give personal information to use the app. Betswap is a fully trustless and permissionless platform with no KYC needed, which is preferred by native crypto users. Betswap.gg also does not take custody of users’ funds at any point, allowing players to place individual bets directly from their wallets and withdraw their winnings seamlessly, safely, and instantly.

Betswap Chief Marketing Officer, Thawfeek Ameen said, “there are many reasons that Betswap is the most suitable crypto sports betting app in the industry, including the fact we are EVM-Compatible and do not rely on one single chain to be functional, unlike other platforms. We also do not require personal details of our users; we are fully trustless and permissionless as well as being fast, reliable, and easy to use”. He continues, “We have also decided to give away up to $25,000 during the FIFA tournament, it is our first World Cup on the platform, and we want to show appreciation to the users who have allowed us to do so well in such a short period of time.”

The rating from dApp Radar comes during the FIFA World Cup 2022, reinforcing that Betswap is the best choice for dedicated Web3 sports betting customers in this tournament. Signing up is simple, with users just having to connect their Metamask Web3 wallet to the site, and with a few clicks, they are ready to start placing bets or acting as a bookmaker. During the games, Betswap has created a live betting feature, that allows users to easily follow what’s happening in each game in real time, making the betting experience even more unique and immersive.

Yield Sec, the actionable intelligence platform helping legal industry, government, regulatory and advertising stakeholders to fight the impact of crime upon the gambling ecosystem, has appointed Matt Zarb-Cousin as their Senior Advisor for Government and Regulatory Affairs.

Zarb-Cousin, an experienced and highly respected campaigner for consumer safety and the public good across the gambling experience, joins the rapidly growing Yield Sec platform at an exciting time.

As the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar progresses through playoffs and final stages, the global betting industry is already seeing vast increases in illegal and unregulated sports betting activity, with many jurisdictions currently monitored by Yield Sec displaying triple-digit year-on-year increases in black-market traffic, engagement, and commercial conversion both prior to, and during the FIFA World Cup. It’s impossible for consumers to effectively distinguish legal and licensed gambling operators from illegal, criminal ones, and all illicit betting and gambling activity removes revenue, taxation and good causes funding from state and national commerce and communities, whilst frustrating the ambition of legal gambling to replace illegal activity and sustainably provide for the regulated marketplace as legislators intended, as legal operators work for, and which regulators act to effect.

The appointment of Zarb-Cousin further strengthens Yield Sec’s betting, gaming, and lottery expertise across stakeholders – government, regulator, operators, suppliers, affiliates, ad platforms, financial institutions, payment providers and law enforcement. This expert human insight works alongside the data science and analytics teams in parallel with the company’s proprietary technology, AI, and machine learning to identify, qualify and quantify threats and deny criminal entrants the ‘oxygen of marketing’ necessary to acquire new audiences and reach or reactivate existing customers.

Matt Zarb-Cousin, Senior Advisor for Government and Regulatory Affairs at Yield Sec, said: “I am delighted to be joining the Yield Sec team and look forward to educating governments and regulators globally in how the pioneering platform can identify, qualify and quantify the marketplace, totally, and help legal stakeholders drive out crime to safeguard vital tax revenues that are presently lost to illegal and unlicensed operators.  The debate around online gambling’s black market has for too long been impacted by those with a vested interest in maintaining inefficient licensing and regulatory models, rather than by those who wish to see the contained, commercial marketplace work to the benefit of our commerce and communities. Yield Sec presents solutions for all legal stakeholders to optimize their positions in the marketplace and allow them to work effectively, together, whilst shielding and protecting revenue, taxation, and consumer safety measures so that legal gambling can deliver benefits for each jurisdiction.”

Ismail Vali, Founder and CEO of Yield Sec, said: “Matt is known for his forthright and pioneering viewpoints and work across tech and the public good. Where he and I found shared thinking on Yield Sec is upon the sole partisan line that our platform holds sacred: the line separating all legal stakeholders in a regulated jurisdiction from criminal, black-market infiltration. I am pleased and proud to welcome Matt to the team – across his focus with regulatory and government outreach, I know his insight and experience will help our legal stakeholder clients to understand, combat and defeat the existential threat presented by illegal betting, gaming, and lottery activity, and its insidious impact upon our commerce and communities.”

Alastair Graham, Chief Operating Officer of Yield Sec, said: “Matt’s profile and status across the government and regulatory community in betting, gaming and lottery is without equal and this ability to reach the broadest possible audience will aid Yield Sec in educating and assisting our legal stakeholder clients to optimize and protect their taxable revenue, positively benefiting regulators, national, state, and tribal governments, consumers, communities and legal, regulated operators and suppliers, whilst simultaneously ensuring for a fair marketplace with safe consumer experiences.”
