The Stox Wimbledon tournament, sponsored by Iagon, took place from July 2nd to July 15th, spanning the duration of the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament.

There were 150 prizes up for grabs and those participants with correct predictions earned a share of a prize pool worth 625,000 IAG, equal to $75,000!

A Great Match

A winning team, Stox and Iagon joined up to enable Stox token holders to get a piece of the Wimbledon action.

All the Wimbledon Cup predictions included real token prizes, with the participants who ranked in the top 150 places on the leaderboard winning a mix of both real IAG tokens and STX.

This isn’t the first collaboration between the two companies. Prior to the Wimbledon tournament, Iagon partnered with Stox to make a series of sponsored predictions. This growing partnership has enabled Iagon to offer customized and targeted campaigns and to extend its reach to deliver promoted predictions.

One Tournament, $75,000 in Prizes

Participants received real tokens for every correct prediction, as well as ranking points, which contributed to their placement on the leaderboard.

The top 150 Stox holders on the Wimbledon Cup leaderboard won STX and IAG tokens collectively worth $75,000, with the top ranked participant walking away with 2,000 STX and 7,000 IAG. In addition, hundreds of thousands more IAG tokens were distributed for each of the individual match predictions.

The tournament saw a high level of participation, and the action was non-stop, with approximately 30,000 risk free predictions being made and contributions of around 335 million STX. The highest number of votes cast on a single prediction was 1,600, on the semifinal match between K. Anderson vs J. Isner.

The wisdom of the crowd proved to be a great indicator of who would leave the court with a win, successfully predicting the outcome of a match 77% of the time.

Even so, the final match between K. Anderson vs N. Djokovic was a real nail-biter and saw the most STX being placed for any single prediction, with contributions reaching 3.1M STX.

All the Stox holders with correct predictions have already received their prize directly to their wallets.

Multiple Ways to Win

Stox token holders were engaged in a variety of ways, at every stage of the tournament.

Before Wimbledon even began, participants could predict who would win both the men’s and women’s cup final. They were then able to cast their votes on who would win each of the matches throughout the tennis tournament, in a total of 52 prediction markets.

In addition, our Community Manager, and tennis super-fan, Matan Yuger, captured the highlights, providing updates and insights and covering the best of action in the Stox blog.

While Wimbledon may be in our rear-view mirror, the fun is far from over. Stox holders can currently take part in our latest prediction event, Stox Cup VIII, which started on July 18th and will run through to Sep 2nd.

To get the ball rolling, every participant will get 100 non-withdrawable STX and those Stox holders who rank in the top 150 on the leaderboard will win prizes worth 15,000 real STX tokens
