Description

ProStake turns every match into a real-time prediction market. The second a streamer queues into a competitive game, viewers can stake on in-game outcomes as they happen - kills, objectives, round wins, and more.

We transform passive gameplay into a tradable, interactive experience, creating a new financial layer for the creator economy.

Problem

Gaming audiences are massive, engaged, and underserved.

Hundreds of millions of viewers watch competitive gameplay every day on Twitch, Youtube and Kick. Existing betting platforms ignore them entirely - they focus on scheduled, sanctioned esports events and have no infrastructure for the long tail of creator-driven content that now dominates viewership.

The gap is structural:

Fans can watch, but not participate
Streamers entertain millions but cannot monetize competitive engagement
Traditional sportsbooks are too slow, too centralized, and too selective to support the scale and speed of the creator economy

Creator-led gaming entertainment is now more influential than traditional esports. No platform is built for it. ProStake is.

Solution

ProStake automatically opens a prediction market the moment a streamer enters a match - no setup, no curation, no delays. Fans can participate in real time as the action happens.

This creates a compounding loop:

Viewers become emotionally and financially invested in gameplay
Streamers unlock a new monetization channel tied directly to audience engagement
Communities become more active, more retained, and more likely to clip and share

ProStake doesn't rely on a handful of top-tier tournaments. It scales across the entire creator economy. Every streamer becomes a market. Every ranked match becomes an event.

Traction

$46K volume, ~400 users, zero paid marketing - in a 45-day beta
Most of our users come from the top 100 leaderboard of competitive platforms.
Received an unsolicited acquisition offer from one of the largest tournament platform in the Call of Duty scene within 30 days of beta launch

All growth to date is organic and word-of-mouth.

Market

ProStake operates at the intersection of skill gaming and esports wagering, a market currently valued at $22B and projected to reach $38B by 2030 (16.4% CAGR).

With over 640M esports viewers globally, including 318M dedicated fans, the space is massive but still passive.

We enter through the streamer economy on platforms like Twitch and Kick, where hundreds of millions of viewers engage with live competitive content but have no native way to financially participate in outcomes. ProStake turns that gap into real-time prediction markets on live gameplay.

Growth

Three channels drive acquisition:

Anchor streamers — Revenue share on staking volume from their matches makes ProStake a monetization tool for creators, not just a viewer product
Word of mouth — The primary growth driver to date, entirely unpaid
UGC — Large bets, live moments, and streamers on stream are structurally built for viral clips. No other prediction platform generates organic content like this

The streamer flywheel is the core moat. Viewers with money on the line chat more, stay longer, and engage deeper. ProStake doesn't just benefit from streamers - it actively grows them.
