MTT Sports Set to Revolutionize Esports and Poker at TOKEN2049
MTT Sports Shakes Up Esports with Free Bitcoin Poker Tournaments
The energy at TOKEN2049 is electric, with booths showcasing the latest innovations in the world of crypto. One of the standout names this year is MTT Sports, which has quickly become a buzzword among crypto and gaming enthusiasts. I had the opportunity to chat with Joe, the marketing lead for MTT Sports, to dive deeper into what this platform is all about.
Sudeep: Hi Joe, great to meet you! MTT Sports seems to be making waves here. Could you tell us what inspired the creation of this company?
Joe: Hey, nice to meet you too! Well, everything started with our CEO. He's a huge crypto enthusiast and, like many, he wanted to dive deeper into the world of Web 3. His big idea was to merge esports with crypto—specifically Bitcoin—so MTT Sports was born. We wanted to create a game that fuses the excitement of poker with the potential of blockchain, making it an experience unlike anything else out there.
Sudeep: That sounds amazing! So, MTT Sports focuses on poker. Can you tell us more about how the platform works?
Joe: Yes, we are all about Texas Hold'em Poker. The platform is designed for players to join for free—no initial investment needed. Just sign up, pass the verification process, and you're in! We host daily and weekly tournaments, and here’s the kicker: our weekly tournament has a prize pool of 1 Bitcoin, distributed among the top nine players at the final table. It’s a huge opportunity for poker lovers, and best of all—it’s completely free to participate!
Sudeep: Wait, did you say free? How does that work?
Joe: (laughs) Yes, it’s completely free. We want to attract as many players as possible. Our CEO’s vision is to make this platform one of the best in the world, and that means creating a community where anyone can join, play, and win big. We’re offering huge rewards, but the idea is to build a strong Web3 ecosystem that will grow through participation and engagement. We also have our own token, the MTT token, which is integral to the platform.
Sudeep: I’m curious about the tech side. You mentioned MTT Sports has its own chain?
Joe: That’s right. We’re in the process of developing the MTT chain, which is a Layer 1 blockchain. It's currently being tested and should be ready soon—likely by Q1 or Q2 next year. The chain will integrate seamlessly with our platform, offering wallets, tokens, and, of course, Bitcoin as part of the prize pools. The MTT chain is going to be a game-changer when it launches.
Sudeep: A whole blockchain just for esports and poker! That's pretty revolutionary. Any other future plans?
Joe: One of our long-term goals is to bring esports poker to the Olympic Games. We know it sounds ambitious, but with esports growing as fast as it is, we believe it’s possible. Recent Olympic Games have started including unconventional sports like breakdancing and skateboarding, so why not esports poker? We want to be pioneers in this space.
Sudeep: I love that vision—why not, right? Just like how Satoshi Nakamoto started Bitcoin with a similar “why not” attitude. It seems like MTT Sports is aiming to bring that same revolutionary spirit to gaming.
Joe: Exactly! We’re not just another gaming platform. We’re creating something new for the Web 3 world. And with our “1 Bitcoin per week” prize pool, poker enthusiasts have a real shot at earning significant rewards while enjoying the game they love. That’s what MTT Sports is all about—bringing crypto and gaming together to create a fun, rewarding experience for everyone.
Sudeep: It’s clear that MTT Sports has a lot in store. Thank you so much for your time, Joe! It was great learning more about the platform, and I’m sure our readers will be just as excited as I am to see where MTT Sports goes next.
Joe: Thank you! We can’t wait to welcome new players. Keep an eye out for more updates as we continue to grow.
MTT Sports is undoubtedly a name to watch in the esports and crypto space. With its innovative approach to merging poker, blockchain, and free-to-play tournaments with massive rewards, it has the potential to shake up both industries. If you’re a poker enthusiast or just curious about how gaming and crypto can intersect, MTT Sports might just be the platform for you. Stay tuned for more updates from TOKEN2049 and beyond.
