ZBD, a game-focused fintech firm creating instant Bitcoin payments for gamers, has teamed up with 1047 Games to enable players to play the Portal shooter Splitgate for Bitcoin prizes.
Hoboken, New Jersey-based ZBD, formerly Zebedee, did all the heavy lifting to integrate Bitcoin payments into the free-to-play, player-versus-player shooter to deliver real-time Bitcoin rewards for tournaments and team battles on the PC version of Splitgate.
The collaboration between ZBD and 1047 Games offers something new for Splitgate enthusiasts, offering an enticing tournament prize pool of 0.5 Bitcoin (equivalent to around $18,000 at current market rates).
Gamers from the U.S. and Brazil competing in the 4-versus-4 team deathmatch tournament, commencing on December 10, and culminating in a grand final on December 22, will have a chance to seize these valuable rewards.
