This is the first platform where you can bet using crypto I think this is enough to surprise a person
don't think it's the first. i guess i saw smth similar!
There are others platforms alike. Check out "competitors" section in BetMAtch's whitepaper
By the way they are not similar. Betting houses in most cases aren't blockchain based, they don't have leasing function and your tokens can't be frozen to reduce commisison.
