Jake Paul’s Betr Arcade Adds Skill Games Across 29 States

Jake Paul is not just throwing punches in the ring anymore; he is now betting on your reflexes. 

Betr Arcade, a real-money, peer-to-peer, skill-based game from the sports gaming company he co-founded with Joey Levy, has rolled out across 29 states. And this new game suite is found right inside the existing Betr Picks daily fantasy sports app. So if you’re already a fan of their pick ’em contests, you’ve got a whole new way to play at your fingertips.

Instead of spinning reels or sweating over fantasy lineups, players can jump into short, snappy games that pay out if they can outsmart and outplay real opponents. Think of it as your neighborhood arcade cabinet upgraded with bragging rights and actual cash.

Four Games to Start the Party

The launch lineup is small but sharp. And the selected games include

• 21
• Fruit Match
• Crossout 21
• 5 Across

Of course, Paul had to put his stamp on this one. A launch video showed him testing the main game, 21, and if there is one thing Jake knows how to do, it is grab attention. 

Stakes start at just $1.25, but if you want to warm up, there is a free practice mode. It feels more like challenging a buddy across the table than battling a faceless casino. For players who love skill and speed, it is instant gratification.

This is not your typical gambling app where you sit back and watch numbers do their thing. It is fast, competitive, and interactive. Instead of luck running the show, your timing and decisions decide if you win.

Beat Jake’s Score: A $25,000 Betr Arcade Challenge

To celebrate the launch of its new game suite, Betr is rolling out the Beat Jake’s Score promotion, giving players a chance to share in a $25,000 Betr Bucks prize pool. From Aug. 25-30, invited participants who opt in and manage to beat Jake Paul’s score of 10,510 in the flagship game 21 will earn a cut of the rewards. Each qualifying player can claim only once, but the pool is split evenly among winners—so if 25 players succeed, each takes home 1,000 Betr Bucks.

Only real-money games of 21 against opponents who complete their matches count; practice rounds and unfinished contests don’t qualify. Rewards will be credited within 24–48 hours after the promotion ends. While Betr Bucks themselves are non-cashable, expire in 30 days, and must be wagered once, any winnings generated with them can be withdrawn. Just note: when using Betr Bucks, payouts hit at one multiplier lower than cash entries.

This promo puts a competitive twist on Betr’s launch, letting fans prove they can outplay Jake Paul while grabbing bragging rights—and a share of the $25K prize pool.

More to Come from Betr

Levy says this is only the warm-up round. More games and more states are already on deck, and if Betr keeps expanding this quickly, players could be juggling new titles faster than Paul calling out his next fight.

“We plan on releasing several new games over the coming weeks and months, and we also plan on launching multiple additional new gaming verticals within our single Betr app over the next few months.”

Here is where things get interesting. Betr Arcade might feel like it found a cheat code by running on skill games, but Pennsylvania is already trying to cash in with a brand-new tax plan aimed at skill machines.

Remember, online casinos are only legal in seven states. Skill games, though, slip right through those cracks, which is why you can already find Betr live in huge markets like California, Texas, and Florida, where regular online casinos are still a no-go. Instead of sitting around waiting for lawmakers to catch up, Betr just handed players in those states something new, fun, and totally legal to play right now.
