Method, device, and computer-readable medium for wagering on a skills-based digital gaming competition with an out-of-game peer wagering module

A method for wagering on a skills-based digital gaming competition, the method comprising:

• sending, from one or more transactional servers to a peer-wagering module, potential game data that includes information on at least one third party game a player can play, wherein the peer-wagering module is accessed by a computing device;
• receiving, at the one or more transactional servers from the peer-wagering module, selection information from a player that includes at least one selected game instance of at least one selected third party game from among the at least one third party game and at least one wager amount the player wishes to wager on the at least one selected game instance, wherein the at least one selected third party game is stored on the computing device, and the peer-wagering module is external and distinct from the at least one selected game instance and the at least one selected third party game;
• and
• generating, by the one or more transactional servers, game instance match ID data or receiving, at the one or more transactional servers, game instance match ID data generated by the peer wagering module, wherein the game instance match ID data includes at least:
• a wager amount of the player, and
• at least one selected game instance;
• and
• wherein the at least one selected game instance is activated for the computing device or another computing device for use by the player.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer program instructions which, when executed by circuitry of one or more transactional servers, cause the circuitry to implement a method for wagering on a skills-based digital gaming competition, the method comprising:

• sending, from the one or more transactional servers to a peer-wagering module, potential game data that includes information on at least one third party game a player can play, wherein the peer-wagering module is stored on a computing device;
• receiving, at the one or more transactional servers from the peer-wagering module, selection information from a player that includes at least one selected game instance of at least one selected third party game from among the at least one third party game and at least one wager amount the player wishes to wager on the at least one selected game instance, wherein the at least one selected third party game is accessed by the computing device, and the peer-wagering module is external and distinct from the at least one selected game instance and the at least one selected third party game;
• and
• generating, by the one or more transactional servers, game instance match ID data or receiving, at the one or more transactional servers, game instance match ID data generated by the peer wagering module, wherein the game instance match ID data includes at least:
• a wager amount of the player, and
• at least one selected game instance;
• and
• wherein the at least one selected game instance is activated for the computing device or another computing device for use by the player.
