How about a business model that earns from a match-finder feed and auto-matching for mobile games such as MLBB, PUBG Mobile, 8 Ball Pool and more? Here are my thoughts, summarized with the help of AI.
When people open the app, they land on two things. One is a feed of open challenges, where you can see who is looking for a match and pick an opponent yourself. The other is an auto finder, where you choose your category, type your game name and Game ID, pick 1v1, 2v2, 5v5 or squads, and the app finds an opponent for you. The platform never touches the game itself, and the game name is cleaned up in the background so that "pubg" and "PUBG M" count as the same game.
Phase 1 is completely free for players and for the platform, with no money involved at all. Matching is based on win rate and loss rate. Every profile shows only win rate, loss rate and total matches, with no money rank, so the auto finder pairs you with someone who has a similar record, and in the feed you can judge any opponent by the same numbers. After a match, both sides vote for the winner and upload a screenshot. If the votes agree, the result is recorded straight away, and if they disagree, it goes to manual review.
Then maybe later,
Then Phase 2 adds paid skill matches, only where it's allowed, and that is where the platform earns. Everyone starts at $1, and every win unlocks the next step ($3, $5, $10, then $25), while a loss keeps you where you are. This is also how smurfing is handled: nobody can open a new account and jump straight into big matches against beginners. A strong player on a fresh account has to win their way up one step at a time, so they can only take $1 matches at first, and every win is recorded, so abnormal winning streaks get flagged. Losing never pushes anyone into bigger entries either. Both entries are held during the match, a small fee is taken, and the winner gets the rest, so two players at $5 make a $10 pool, a 10% fee takes $1, and the winner gets $9. Deposits would be final with no refunds, and withdrawals would need identity verification and go back to the same account that deposited. One verified person is allowed only one account, so nobody could play both sides.
It's just a thought.
