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.

ZBD’s technology in esports and competitive play will enable instantaneous Bitcoin payouts to participants as tournament winnings. The integration will provide instant sats — which are tiny fragments of Bitcoin — to gamers, presenting a novel competitive edge for Splitgate gameplay. For instance, players could earn sats for their in-game plays, such as hitting a headshot.
A limited beta warm-up ahead of the tournament, scheduled from December 2 to December 10, will allow participants to prepare for the main event. Interested gamers can register for the tournament via the dedicated ZBD and Splitgate Discord server, receiving comprehensive instructions on how to join.
One of the most significant advantages of ZBD’s technology is the immediate delivery of tournament winnings, an aspect often delayed for days or weeks in traditional competitive gaming circuits. While participation in PvP battles for a share of the Bitcoin prize pot is open to all without entry fees, contributions can be made for competitive battles.
Since its inception in 2019, 1047 Games’ debut project, Splitgate, has garnered over 18 million downloads across multiple platforms. The multiplayer shooter, known for its player-centric portal mechanics, redefines the FPS genre with its fresh gameplay approach.
Ben Cousens, chief strategy officer at ZBD, said in a statement, “We’re delighted to collaborate with Ian, Nick and the phenomenal team at 1047 Games to redefine the reward system in gaming and give players a revolutionary new way to experience in-game competition. For developers and

Fortnite is about to become a real MMO with LEGO Fortnite, and it blows my mind
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about Fortnite . I mean, who hasn’t? Epic Games’ pop media juggernaut has done quite a bit over the last six years. Anyone who plays (I play way too much with my family) knew there would be new goodies in Chapter 5, but being a full-functioning Survival MMO wasn’t on my bingo sheet. Add in the fact that this is all Lego-themed, and my head is spinning.

Fallout Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Irradiated Wasteland Filled With Ghouls, Giant Roaches, More
The Fallout TV series just got a trailer, giving us a glimpse into its irradiated post-apocalyptic world. Unveiled during the Comic-Con Expo (CCXP) event in Brazil, the show brings forth an original story set in a dilapidated Los Angeles and runs canon to the Bethesda game's universe — adding to the franchise, instead of adapting from one of its titles. However, just like the games, the tale largely follows a vault dweller who heads out into the nuclear wasteland in search of answers and in the process, meets countless eccentric characters — both good and bad — and uncovers the larger politics surrounding class divide, morality, and more. Fallout premieres April 12 on Amazon Prime Video.
