Peer-to-peer vs sportsbook model

Peer-to-peer vs sportsbook model

DraftKings is a sportsbook. They set odds, take your bet, and pay out winners — with a margin built in that pays the house over time. 1v1Me works differently. When you stake on a pro gamer, your stake is matched against another user backing the opposing player. No house, no odds, no built-in edge against you.

Daily volume vs tournament-only

Daily volume vs tournament-only

DraftKings posts esports odds during major tournaments — CDL Champs, CS Majors, League of Legends Worlds — and goes mostly quiet between events. 1v1Me runs pro matches every single day across seven games. You don't wait for tournament season to stake on esports.

Game coverage breakdown

Game coverage breakdown

DraftKings covers Counter-Strike and League of Legends during their biggest tournaments. Call of Duty CDL gets odds during Champs. Fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter almost never get markets. NBA 2K, Madden, and EA FC — essentially zero coverage. 1v1Me runs daily matches across all seven of these games.
