Abstract

A wagering system is disclosed which includes a server configured for operative connection to at least one multiplayer gaming network. The server may be configured for processing at least one wager on a video game played on the multiplayer gaming network. The wagering system also includes at least one database operatively associated with the server for storing information related to the video game wager. In the wagering system, the server may be configured to operate independently of the multiplayer gaming network.
