3 Introduction When an emerging market records ROI (Return-on-Investment) as high as 20,607% and triple that, then it s time to sit up and take notice. The crypto market has grown in leaps and bounds from a total market capitalization of $17 billion in January, 2017 to over $800 billion by January the next year. Most of these returns can be attributed to investment ventures and trading action worth an estimated $10 billion daily. The technology underpinning this new industry, Blockchain technology, is drastically changing financial landscape and economic models, creating a paradigm shift from what has predominantly been a centralized system controlled by single entities to a liberated, decentralized, and tamperproof global network. This technology has brought about unparalleled level of transparency, security, and direct peer-to-peer exchange of values without intermediaries through cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency has become the hottest and most exciting investment opportunity on the market. It s daily volume and continually growing market capitalization is a testament to that. And while investors continue to scour through thousands of crypto pairings scattered across tens of thousands of market, a highly lucrative and stress-free market continues to elude them; cryptocurrency value index betting. The global online betting was estimated at $45.86 billion in 2016 and is projected to be worth about $56.05 billion by However, this industry is plagued by a myriad of problems ranging from delayed payouts to limited betting amounts, insufficient jackpot capabilities, draconic regulations, complicated registration processes, high commission charges, and data storage requirements. These challenges has not only stripped away the fun from betting, bt has also created a sinister, illegal market estimated at over $400 billion annually, and isolated a large numbers of potential players. DogRacing is here to remedy the situation.

4 What is DogRacing? DogRacing is not only eliminating these challenges, but also upping the fun by a thousand degree through its novel cryptocurrency value index betting. The platform stands at the exciting intersection between the growing online betting industry, the most disruptive technology known to man - blockchain, and the most secure medium of exchange - cryptocurrency. Our groundbreaking platform will enable players to join a race of cryptocurrency index change during selected period of time and place a bet on any coin of their choice. The platform offers a frictionless and direct betting network for users to bet on their favourite cryptocurrency against others. Through an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, our platform will facilitate various tournaments and games based on value change of cryptocurrency. Due to the nature of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology players can rely on safe betting environment via Ethereum Smart Contract. DogRacing not only leverages blockchain technology to record all data, winnings, and transactions, but also backs every exchange through its proprietary smart contracts. The smart contracts ensures that winnings are paid instantly, secures all bets, and no third-party interference can occur - only the finish line matters! Which cryptocurrency will outperform the other by the end of the day? DogRacing s intuitive platform enable players to join a race of cryptocurrency value change during selected period of time (1 hour, 1 day or 1 week) and place a bet on the coin of their choice. The platform s proprietary smart contracts ensure safety, transparency, and anonymity for every bet placed and game played, and its utility token, the DGR, offers additional features and betting options. Token holders will be entitled to monthly dividends from a pool generated by the 5% commission off every bet on the platform. 10% of all tokens are designated to Jackpot pool and only token owners can compete for Jackpot winnings. Token holders are also entitled to voting right

5 Vision To become the biggest and most accessible cryptocurrency value betting platform with simple-to-use interface, exciting games, and seamless liquidity options Goal Innovative and industry-standard, user-friendly betting platform for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, investors, traders, and anyone looking to put their crypto knowledge and assets to work by betting on their favourite coin. Objective DogRacing will unite cryptocurrency enthusiasts, investors and specialists unto a secure and transparent platform where everyone can bet on their favourite coin and win exciting rewards. Developed by a highly-talented team, we are building the largest and the most popular crypto currency index betting platform. Finance Revenue is generated from a bankroll pool that collects 5% from every bet placed. This is later paid as dividends to token holders. 10% of all tokens are assigned to a Jackpot pool exclusive to DGR token holders

6 How DogRacing Works DogRacing is a parimutuel betting system based on percentile cryptocurrency value change during a selected period of time. For example, 5 players bet on 3 different cryptocurrencies for a week long race as follows: Player 1 bets 1 ETH for cryptocurrency #1 Player 2 bets 10 ETH for cryptocurrency #1 Player 3 bets 1 ETH for cryptocurrency #2 Player 4 bets 0,5 ETH for cryptocurrency #3 Player 5 bets 1 ETH for cryptocurrency #1 The total pool of money is 13.5 ETH, when the 5% fee for the bankroll is removed, the pool total becomes 12,825 ETH and the race kicks off as soon as the admittance period for bet placement is closed. The players funds are locked into a smart contract for the duration of the race. With the race set, our proprietary smart contract protocol kicks in tracking the value index change of the cryptocurrencies bet on (racers), and calculating the delta, commission and winners at the end of the race. Let s say the hypothetical winning odds for each cryptocurrency bet on is as follows: Cryptocurrency # Cryptocurrency # Cryptocurrency # Cryptocurrency #2 had the largest percentage increase during the stipulated period, making player 3 the money pool winner. In case of service errors, players will have their deposited funds returned back to them via smart contracts.

7 Additional Games The following are the additional game modes we will be implementing on the platform: LAST MAN STANDING: A monthly Tournament will be launched once the entrance fee of 0.1 ETH is paid. Players have 7 days to observe the market and choose their bets before the tournament starts. Tournament is started and lasts for 1 week. After race is over, 50% of players with best results proceed to the next stage and remaining players are eliminated. Each round 50% of players proceed to the next stage. Winner of week 4 collects 70% of the funds and remaining players share 30%. P2P DUEL: This is a peer-to-peer between two players that allows you to create your own token/ coin race between two cryptocurrencies. Once player chooses two coins/tokens from TOP 10 list and betting amount is confirmed and any opponent can accept the challenge by choosing different token/coin. For example, if player bets that token s A value increases the most during the set period of time, another player can bet against it by selecting token B and betting on its value increasing more. Token/coin with highest increase in percentage wins the race. MYSTERY BET: This is an additional feature when placing bet. A pop-up will appear asking if player wants to choose a mystery bet for an extra cost (0.01 ETH). Based blockchain-based RNG, player will have the opportunity to win 1 ETH. Funds for this pool is generated from the mystery bet entrance fee. JACKPOT: Entrance fee is paid in DGR tokens only. Amount will be specified. Player picks X cryptocurrencies that will finish the race from 1st to a particular position determined by realtime variables. Upon selecting the winning sequence order, player will be rewarded by 10% of current Jackpot funds. After ICO is complete, 10% of all tokens are assigned to jackpot funds.

8 Technological stack ETHEREUM WALLET Entrance Ethereum Wallet is a gateway to decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain. It enables you to hold and secure ether and other crypto-assets built on Ethereum, as well as, write, deploy, and use smart contracts. MIST BROWSER Mist Browser (formerly Ethereum Dapp Browser) is the end-user interface for Ethereum. It's the tool of choice for browsing and using Dapps, specifically designed for non-technical users. METAMASK MetaMask is a bridge that allows you to visit the distributed web of tomorrow in your browser today. It allows you to run Ethereum dapps right in your browser without running a full Ethereum node. MetaMask includes a secure identity vault, providing a user interface to manage your identities on different sites and sign blockchain transactions. You can install the MetaMask add-on in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and the new Brave browser. If you re a developer, you can start developing with MetaMask today. MetaMask mission is to make Ethereum as easy to use for as many people as possible. ORACLIZE Oraclize is data carrier for decentralized apps. Smart contracts live like in a walled garden, they cannot fetch external data on their own. Oraclize is here to help. The app act as a data carrier, a reliable connection between Web APIs and any Dapp. There is no need to open additional trustlines as the network s good behaviour is enforced by cryptographic proofs.

BETTING SMART CONTRACTS The DogRacing relies on decentralised smart contracts to guarantee and record everything on the blockchain. Through the blockchain, we will be able to audit everything that happens on DogRacing. Users that play the games will be able to view, in real time, the outcomes and the rewards of the network. Unlike traditional betting where deposits are made to the operators account, users will always have control over their bets. Our Platform uses the Ethereum network as a Blockchain based ecosystem. The Ethereum network is well-established, accepted, and used by the community with a full Turing language capability. The usage of an Autonomous Agent (i.e. a Smart Contract) builds trust in the system because any conflict of interest between the Player/Bettor and the Platform is managed and audited in a decentralised manner. No third party needs to be involved since all the transactions are done via a Smart Contract, which guarantees everyone has access at all times and can verify the game s fairness.

10 BETTING FLOW Betting controller via Smart Contract executes the race based on race type and configuration. Each race consists of 3 main phases: Betting phase, Race phase and Result phase. Betting phase Betting interface (DApp) shows the race setup Lead time before the next race, Race duration and current cryptocurrencies prices for information. Race phase As this phase starts no more bets can be placed. Smart contract queries Oraclize for current prices and stores them till end of the race. All Player funds (a Pool) are securely stored on SmartContract until race ends and result is resolved. Result phase By the end of the race time Betting Smart Contracts queries Oraclize for prices again. Calculating the delta from start and end price. Based on player s bets and the result, winners are awarded the pool. The betting pool minus commission is distributed among winners proportionally to the volume of their bet. By visiting the Betting interface Players will see the outcome of the race and the means for claiming their winnings. In case of an error from the Oraclize service - for example no response or partial response, SmartContract will void all bets and all players will be returned their original betting amounts. In addition, all bets and transactions can be audited on Ethereum network or with the help of Etherscan.
