Become an Independent Betting Bookmaker Using Chipz Platform
Gambling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. It is also regarded as a serious business too. This business has come a long way since medieval times when people bet on the winning gladiators during the Roman empire. However, such events would have not so “uncertain” outcomes as the owners of the gladiators could influence the games — an allegation that is commonly placed on most of the current betting sites.
So how do you cure the problem of sporting events being fixed and leaving bettors writhing in losses? Enter Chipz ecosystem, a decentralized blockchain-based betting platform that allows users to bet and be their betting bookmakers. What’s more, Chipz is rolling out a public presale that will gift lucky users with 5k worth of NFT to be used on Chipz’s new NFT marketplace, the chipz.drive. It is also interesting to note that the Chipz platform allows users to stake their CHPZ. This staked CHPZ is used as part of the liquidity pool. Users get 3% of their staked value (simply means that users can use CHPZ to make more CHPZ). This is an exception to betting or staking in a normal casino or sportsbook where bettors hope they can make 3% of their staked value. Sounds cool, right?
You’ve been in the backseat for too long; now, you have the chance of being on the front seat by creating and hosting betting rooms where other users can place their bets. Here’s what Chipz is all about and how you can become an independent betting bookmaker on the platform.
Chipz for Bookmakers
Chipz is a web-based betting platform that allows users to gamble on any event within betting rooms hosted by others users. To participate, users must have enough CHPZ tokens — an ERC-20 token used to run the Chipz ecosystem — to pay for room creation fees. Besides, a non-custodial wallet belonging to the user must also be linked to their Chipz account. The wallet guarantees payment for gas fees as well as the betting amount.
As emphasized by cofounder Justin Lally in a recent podcast on Action and Ambition, Chipz’s main goal is to give equal opportunities to everyone wherever they are in the world by letting them create their sportsbook and invite their friends to place bets.
Therefore, Chipz will only serve as an intermediary for independent bookmakers by providing the platform and the UI required to facilitate a book. In exchange for this service, Chipz only requires the bookmakers to pay a small fee. A bookmaker can choose either of the following payment plans to create rooms on Chipz;
- A 3-month plan worth $30 paid in CHPZ
- A 6-month plan worth $45 paid in CHPZ
- A 1-year plan worth $60 paid in CHPZ
The platform uses smart contracts to scan and report on events. The smart contract also distributes earnings after the events.
The advantage of becoming a bookmaker is that a good attendance of bids enables you to set the fees and the maximum number of bidders. At the end of the event, you will always earn off fees as soon as the smart contract finalizes.
Joining Chipz as A Bookmaker
To become a bookmaker, follow the following host workflow as recommended by the platform design team.
Step 1: Register on the Chipz platform. The process involves choosing your ideal payment plan and linking your non-custodial wallet.
Step 2: Accept terms and conditions set by the system.
Step 3: Create your username and set a strong password.
Step 4: Open the panel on the Chipz interface to create a betting room and become a host.
Step 5: As a host, choose the sports you wish to have in your betting room.
Step 6: Set the closing time for accepting bets.
Step 7: Set the betting conditions.
Once the bookmaker sets the betting conditions, the bettors can select the betting room and wait for the event’s result. The smart contract executes as soon as the event match ends. The host will then collect his fees, and the prize pool is distributed to the winning bets by the smart contract.
The bettors can then rank the host. Once done, the bookmaker confirms the contract to execute his earnings, and the betting room closes.
From the steps outlined above, it is evident that becoming a bookmaker on Chipz is an easy process and one with the real potential of being profitable. The best part is that users can become bookmakers and bettors in different rooms created by other users.
Chipz developers claim that the platform will evolve to allow users to place bets on any future event, including the prices of crypto and eSports, taking the platform’s adoption to greater heights.

Circus Jackpot
TaDa Gaming Releases Circus Jackpot
Award-winning TaDa Gaming has built a name for delivering differentiation for operator platforms with its unique fish-shooting games. Combining the thrill of cinematic video animations with recognisable casino mechanics, these multiplayer games offer a new way to play and win with skill-influenced challenges and in-game progression.
Latest release, Circus Jackpot, takes the action into the Big Top Tent for a fantastical procession of characters, creatures and Awakening Bosses, each one bringing multipliers and triggering bonus games when players successfully take them down.
And this is no ordinary circus: shoals of lower value fish swirl around the tent to bring easy win multipliers from 2x – 20x while Giant Medium Fish raise the game to 80x and the Golden Killer Whale offers up to 100x.
A colony of crabs including Bomb, Drill, Hammer and Wheel versions can each deliver a unique effect when triggered. The Hammer Crab can unleash the power of thunder and the Wheel Crab triggers a bonus roulette game for up to 800x; while the Bomb Crab will detonate a chain bomb attack and the Drill Crab will penetrate through the crowd for maximum impact on explosion.
Players can be strategic on timing blasts. Capturing the Lightning Chain Fish will trigger the Lightning Chain and take out fish, one by one; while the Vortex Fish will create a sea of swirling water that sucks all the surrounding creatures into it.
With up to four players in Circus Jackpot at any time, the first shots are fired from Rocket Cannon positions. Each shot builds up the Free Deep Sea Whirlpool weapon which can be strategically used for full screen wipeouts; while a random Flame Bomb can also trigger, adding to the excitement and win potential.
Weaponry is further enhanced by the Tiger Power and Dragon Power uplifts, designed to take down the Awakening Bosses. These are the Mermaid (100x – 1200x); the Ghost Ship (100x – 1200x); the Thunder Dragon with up to 1980x; and the Wild Hog(60x – 2500x).
Capture any of these Bosses and watch their effects from performances and collisions to raise the multiplier, to the Wild Hog bonus game of Tug of War, where the generous piggy will give 60x – 200x to losers while winners can pull 220x – 2500x.
New characters to appear in Circus Jackpot include the Cash Clown and King Tiger. Targeting the unicyclist Cash Clown will build the multiplier to 350x while a successful shot will make the Clown spin his magic hat in a superb bonus game animation and pull out Coins (10x), White Rabbits(20x – 150x) or the King Tiger Boss, who brings the biggest game multiplier of all.
King Tiger is the star of the show. His party piece is to jump through the Consecutive Fire Rings and Colour Fire Rings at high speed, increasing the multiplier as he soars through the hoops.
Each mile covered is shown on the screen in a spectacular animation. And if King Tiger Boss can clear all the hoops in the challenge, he’ll provide up to a staggering 4800x win potential.
With Mega, Major and Mini jackpots also to be won, this is the new shoot and win game that will have players glued to the screen.
A straightforward UI holds all the controls, with added features for Aim to target specific creatures and Auto to create target lists, giving players strategic agency. Simple rules and descriptions of the characters and their effects make onboarding easier and enable players to get straight into the action with Circus Jackpot.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management, TaDa Gaming, said: “TaDa’s glocalisation skills enhance our standing as the No.1 provider for fish-shooting. Circus Jackpot takes the highlights from the fish-shooting genre and seamlessly builds in new Bosses and features to deliver big potential in an expertly localised adventure to suit all player levels.”
Available in over 15 languages with 100+ currency choices, Circus Jackpot is available to play from 10th February 2026.

Compliance Updates
IBIA Publishes 2025 Sports Betting Integrity Report
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) has published its 2025 Sports Betting Integrity Report. The report reveals that 300 suspicious betting alerts were reported to the relevant authorities during the year. This represents an increase of 29% on the 232 alerts reported in 2024 and reflects IBIA’s expanding global monitoring coverage and enhanced analytical capability.
Key findings from the 2025 report include:
•300 suspicious betting alerts were reported across 16 sports.
•Football (110) and tennis (74) remained the most reported sports.
•Alerts were detected across all major regions, with Europe accounting for the largest share (35%), alongside increased activity in North and South America.
•Operator intelligence from IBIA’s members contributed to 54 matches being proven corrupted.
Through its Global Monitoring & Alert Platform (Global MAP), the association monitors over 1.5 million matches across more than 80 sports, generating over US$300bn in sports betting turnover per annum. IBIA data again played a crucial role in supporting sporting and law-enforcement investigations. Sanctions announced in 2025 involving IBIA data included 54 matches proven to have been corrupted, with sanctions subsequently imposed on 24 players, teams and officials across five sports.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “Our 2025 data highlights a familiar integrity risk pattern, with football and tennis continuing to account for most suspicious betting activity. At the same time, the greater scale and reach of our Global Monitoring & Alert Platform means our ability to detect, assess and support investigations across markets and sports has increased. This is driven by operator intelligence generated by our membership and their continued commitment to identifying, disrupting and preventing betting-related corruption through collective action and information-sharing with our partners.
The 2025 report includes a dedicated Africa Focus, which highlights that IBIA reported 117 alerts on African sporting events during 2021-25. H2 Gambling Capital forecasts that Africa’s total betting gross gambling revenue (GGR) will grow from US$3.5bn in 2021 to US$19.4bn by 2030. As regulated betting markets continue to develop across the African continent, IBIA views early engagement, data-driven monitoring and collaboration with regulators and sports bodies as essential to safeguarding sporting and betting market integrity.
