Verasity, a leading company providing rewarded video player technology, is expanding its GameStore tournament model to major eSports games, as it has added the functionality of private, public, and third party tournaments for major eSports games.
On May 7, it has been reported that Verasity will first launch CS:GO tournaments and betting from Verasity.tv and add other major league games in Q2 & Q3 (League of Legends and others).
However, players will be able to invite others to play in private or public tournaments for VRA funded jackpots, which means that anyone will be able to bet on teams or on players on the leaderboard.
The company has obtained the ability to implement third party jackpots and betting on major tournaments.
It has been analyzed that players can use Verasity tokens through the VeraWallet to create jackpots or bet on their favorite pro CS:GO player or team in LIVE major eSports events such as the ESL Pro League, Dreamhack and Blast Premier.

Likewise, Verasity has already entered discussions with major teams to include them in future tournaments, as this will have an impact on its visibility worldwide.
As per the report, the company will roll this out across Q2 & Q3. With credit card functionality from VeraWallet for on-ramp and off-ramp, non-crypto users will be able to seamlessly participate in USD valued Verasity tokens (VRA/VRAB) without the need to understand crypto.
Veracity is opening this up to the whole world, as this will hugely contribute to the organic demand for Verasity tokens worldwide.

It has also been analyzed that if users prefer playing the game, they can be the next “dev1ce” and win $$$ in VRA by entering one of Veracity’s scheduled tournaments or they can go ahead and create their own public or private tournament and set pool prizes of VRA or they can bet on major tournaments and leaderboard players.
The report states that in 2018, there were 380 million viewers of eSports, and this figure is set to rocket to 557 million viewers by 2021.
According to Wholesale Investor, the global eSports betting market forecast to reach $17.2 billion (£13.9 billion) by the end of 2020.
Moreover, CS:GO is one of the “big 3” leading games in competitive global eSports, as it’s fast-paced, strategic and has 9 years of popularity, which reached a crazy peak of over 1.3 million concurrent players in April.
Thus, this makes it the perfect game for Veracity’s launch.
