Currently, eSports fans have a common problem: the time spent in the game is still leisure and does not make money
Fortunately, now you do not need to become a super-advanced player with sufficient skills to take part in serious tournaments. This problem is solved with the help of our online solution Gaming Stars, which is monetized and at the same time is not an ordinary gambling product (which means it is compatible with the legislation of the vast majority of states).
Thus, now during the gameplay you can win money that other players have put at stake. Also there are available additional ways to earn money: via attracting new users to participate in gaming tournaments. Thus, players get the perfect opportunity to turn their usual pastime into a fight for really big money!
Client/Target audience
The target audience of the created platform is eSports fans who want to make money playing their favorite video games or via attracting new users to participate in gaming tournaments.
Product overview
Product overview
To make our eSports platform compliant with the laws of the vast majority of countries, we have implemented a poker betting model. Thus, the created solution is not a gambling product.
The Gaming Stars platform currently allows users to play more than a dozen video games and supports several game modes, the number of which will grow in the future.
The system provides a lot of features that make the game even more interesting. You can compete with your friends or choose an opponent at random. In addition, as skills are acquired, players can also receive certain rewards for completing a number of challenges.

To prevent fraud from unscrupulous players, we have developed a KYC system. To withdraw funds, players need to go through a personal identification procedure.
We have also implemented a separate virtual currency system (Bonus Cash), with the help of which players can place bets on matches and earn real money. Players can earn Bonus Cash by completing various challenges, and spend them on betting to win real money.

Our approach
We took care of Gaming Stars’ compatibility with a wide range of gaming platforms. To maximize the pool of players, we have created three versions of the product: for iOS, for Android, and also for the web version. To do this, we have selected the following tools:
Django
This is a Python-based framework for developing web applications with which we created the backend
React JS
This is a JS library for creating user interfaces, we used it for frontend development
Java
A class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
Swift
Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for iOS. Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast.
UIkit
A lightweight and modular front-end framework for developing fast and powerful web interfaces.
Web Socket
Is a computer communications protocol, providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection.
Celery
Celery is an asynchronous task/job queue based on distributed message passing.
Redux
Redux is an open-source JavaScript library for managing and centralizing the application state. It is most commonly used with libraries such as React or Angular for building user interfaces.
Testing
We paid special attention to testing the usability of the solution so that its interface has a minimal learning curve.
