Two weeks ago, we were presenting Slips to a packed audience at the BlockShow event in Amsterdam and one of the audience members asked us how we compared to one of the many blockchain based betting projects out there.

Then, the other day, a potential investor rang us up and asked if we could ping over some details about the competition and how much market share we could capture.

We thought since this is a question that crops up so often, it might be helpful to collate our answer here on the blog and write it in a way so that it’s useful to anyone exploring or researching the eSports betting area.

“Ha! Why would I trust you to present an unbiased overview?”

We expect people to be sceptical about our intentions for this article. Even if we tried our hardest to provide a fair and comprehensive review of the entire space … you would never expect us portray our own project in a bad light would you?

Correct, it’s not in our best interest to tell you how much we suck!

But we also believe that Slips is quite unique. There are plenty of projects in this area and they all tackle what they perceive to be problems worth solving.

It is in our interest however to position our project successfully. We want people when they are asked “What is Slips” to say “It’s like X but with Y”. The simpler we make this proposition, the more success we will have in raising awareness about our project.

If we have to do that by comprehensively showing you what is available in the space and how we are different, than by jove that is exactly what we will do!

So without any further ado, let us introduce each project. For obvious reasons we are not ranking or rating the projects — we will leave that as a fun exercise for the reader! ;)
