Integrations portal for peer-to-peer game platform
An integrations portal can communicate with a developer client and can include an interface to prompt the developer client for and to receive peer-to-peer competition settings and third-party game mechanics. A peer-to-peer wagering platform can be in communication with the integrations portal and a plurality of player clients and can receive data from the integrations portal that includes the peer-to-peer competition settings and the third-party game mechanics. A peer-to-peer competition can be caused to be provided to the plurality of player clients according to the peer-to-peer competition settings in which at least one of the plurality of player clients wagers on an outcome of the peer-to-peer competition. At least a part of the wager can form a reward for a winner. The outcome of the peer-to-peer competition can be determined based on a received performance and the third-party game mechanics. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the integrations portal is further adapted to provide to the developer client one or more software development kits for integrating a peer-wagering module into a third-party single player game for execution on a player client, the peer-wagering module adapted to receive a wager amount from a player associated with the player client.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a data warehouse adapted to receive one or more metrics from the peer-to-peer wagering platform characterizing player client and peer-to-peer wagering platform interactions; and
wherein the integrations portal is further adapted to provide data characterizing the one or more metrics to the developer client for visualization by the developer client.
8. A method for implementation using an integrations portal and a peer-to-peer wagering platform, the integrations portal comprising one or more data processors forming part of at least one computing system, the integrations portal in communication with a developer client, remote from a third party game server providing game data for operation of a game, and including an interface to prompt the developer client for and to receive a game binary executable, the peer-to-peer wagering platform comprising one or more data processors forming part of at least one computing system, the peer-to-peer wagering platform in communication with the integrations portal and a plurality of player clients, the method comprising:
receiving data comprising the game binary executable from the integrations portal;
determining a fingerprint of the game binary executable to uniquely identify the game binary executable;
authorizing a plurality of player-game binary executables executing on respective player clients by comparing data characterizing the plurality of player-game binary executables with the fingerprint of the game binary executable to prevent player clients from competing across incongruent versions of the game with different third-party game mechanics.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the third-party game mechanics comprise one or more rules defining how to determine the outcome of a peer-to-peer competition.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the integrations portal prompts the developer client for and receives a push notification certificate; and
wherein the method further comprises:
receiving data comprising the push notification certificate from the integrations portal;
generating and transmitting push notifications to the plurality of player clients to present an advertisement on the plurality of player clients.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the peer-to-peer competition settings enable the wager to include one of a virtual currency wager and a real-money wagering.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving data characterizing a performance of the plurality of player clients in a peer-to-peer competition associated with the authorized game executables; and
determining an outcome of the peer-to-peer competition based on the received performance and third-party game mechanics previously specified by the developer client.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the integrations portal provides to the developer client one or more software development kits for integrating a peer-wagering module into a third-party single player game for execution on a player client, wherein the peer-wagering module receives a wager amount from a player associated with the player client.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein a data warehouse receives one or more metrics from the peer-to-peer wagering platform characterizing player client and peer-to-peer wagering platform interactions; and
wherein the integrations portal provides data characterizing the one or more metrics to the developer client for visualization by the developer client.
15. A method for implementation by one or more data processors forming part of at least one computing system, the method comprising:
receiving, from an integrations portal remote from a third party game server providing game data for operation of a game, data that comprises a game binary executable;
determining a fingerprint of the game binary executable to uniquely identify the game binary executable;
authorizing a plurality of player-game binary executables executing on respective ones of a plurality of player clients by comparing data characterizing the plurality of player-game binary executables with the fingerprint of the game binary executable to prevent player clients from competing across incongruent versions of the game with different third-party game mechanics.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the peer-to-peer competition settings enable the wager to include one of a virtual currency wager and a real-money wager.
