Wii gambling

The guys who founded “World Gaming,” a website that lets gamers win money while sitting on their couch, thought it was a great idea.

But they weren’t the only ones who thought so.

Woodrow Levin also had a similar idea. Levin is the founder and CEO of BringIt, another new website dedicated to helping gamers set up matches in order to win (or lose) money on a variety of games and tournaments.

So what’s the main difference between BringIt and World Gaming? You’ll be able to wager on games played on the Wii right from the get-go. But how? Levin told me it was simple…

Since there’s no automated reporting system for the Wii like those used for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network games, players will have to self-report the outcomes of their games. So if you win or lose a bout of “Mario Kart” against an opponent (who you must’ve shared a Friend Code with already), it’s up to the you to report it. Players can also communicate using the site’s messaging and chat system.

“It’s a relatively easy and simple process to self report,” Levin said. “We use the eBay-like player feedback system to weed out bad apples and have transparency on the site. If there’s a dispute, we have a proprietary dispute resolution system which is directly connected to our trained, 24-hour, seven-days-a-week customer service center. Based on the dispute and proof provided by the players, we’re able to quickly and fairly resolve the issues.”

Betting money on wii games seem kind of lame. I got a feeling it won't take off.
