Omega Point has partnered with compliance consultancy BetComply as it prepares to launch a new skill-based, player-versus-player (PvP) game that allows users to compete directly against one another for real-money stakes.
According to the companies, the title has been designed in a way that places it outside traditional gambling classifications in many jurisdictions.
However, both parties said the product still requires clear regulatory positioning, operational safeguards and internal governance frameworks to support a sustainable market rollout.
Under the agreement, BetComply will advise Omega Point on regulatory strategy, risk management and compliance structures as the developer moves toward launch.
The consultancy will also support the implementation of internal controls intended to allow the product to scale responsibly across multiple markets as regulatory approaches to skill-based gaming continue to evolve.
Omega Point CEO Andrew Bernhardt said: “From the outset, we wanted to approach this product in the right way.”
Bernhardt added: “Even though our game sits outside conventional gambling definitions in many markets, that doesn’t remove the need for strong structure and accountability.”
BetComply CCO Mike de Graaff said: “Skill-based, real-money PvP products are an area where innovation is moving faster than regulation.”
De Graaff added: “Our role is to help developers like Omega Point build solid frameworks early, so they are ready to scale responsibly and adapt as markets evolve.”
The partnership reflects a broader industry trend toward skill-based and competitive gaming formats that blur the line between traditional gambling and interactive entertainment.
These products often rely on player ability rather than chance, creating regulatory complexity as lawmakers and regulators assess how existing frameworks apply.
Developers entering the segment have increasingly sought external compliance support to mitigate future regulatory risk, particularly in jurisdictions where definitions around gambling, gaming and contests of skill remain unsettled.
BetComply has positioned itself as an advisor to companies operating in emerging real-money gaming categories, including skill-based, PvP and adjacent digital competition models, as demand for these formats continues to grow.
Earlier this month, VIP Play confirmed plans to launch its own skill-based gaming offering, citing favourable regulatory positioning and reduced barriers to entry across multiple jurisdictions.
Skill-based gaming products are often regulated at state or local level in the US, with legal treatment varying significantly depending on how player skill and chance are defined
