Onyx Games LLC operates Onyx Odds, a free-to-play social sportsbook platform that allows users to make sports predictions using virtual currency rather than real money. Founded in 2024 and venture capital-backed, the company is built by a lean engineering team in New York City with roots at Jane Street. The platform is legally available across 40+ U.S. states through a sweepstakes model.
The platform runs on two currencies: Onyx Coins, used to place predictions at no cost, and Onyx Cash, earned through promotional sweepstakes and redeemable for real prizes. No purchase is necessary to participate or win. The product includes loyalty rewards, VIP tier systems, and social engagement features designed to support ongoing user interaction.
Onyx Games is a young company operating in the intersection of sports entertainment, social gaming, and mobile applications. The engineering team is small and experienced, and the company reports rapid growth in its user base, though no specific figures have been disclosed.
