BR1: Infinite Promises Players Real Money for Playing, Prompting Gambling Concerns

Polygon · 20 hours ago

BR1: Infinite, an extraction shooter from Montreal indie studio Bravo Ready, lets players compete for real money by rewarding eliminations and successful extractions. Its paid-entry “risk servers” mean players can lose cash when they die, prompting concerns that the model amounts to gambling and raising questions about how cheating will be controlled.

Players can practise for free, but risk-server spawn fees range from $0.25 to $5 and must be paid again after death. Closed-beta participants receive a $5 bonus but can only withdraw funds once their balance exceeds $25; despite concerns, the game’s Discord has nearly 40,000 members and interest in beta invitations is strong.

  • BR1: Infinite combines shooter gameplay with real-money stakes.
  • Death can mean losing paid spawn fees.
  • Cheating safeguards are a major concern.
