What is PvP crypto gambling and how does it work?

PvP (Player vs Player) crypto gambling is a form of online betting where players compete directly against each other rather than against the house. The platform acts as a facilitator, matching opponents and taking a small commission (rake) from each pot or match. Common PvP formats include head-to-head challenges (1v1 matches in games like crash or dice), multiplayer tournaments (bracket-style competitions), prediction markets (players bet against each other on outcomes), and skill-based games (poker, chess betting, trivia). The key advantage is that skilled players can achieve positive expected value over time, unlike house-edge games where the casino always has a mathematical advantage.
