Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods of placing real-world wagers, obtaining outcomes of the real-world wagers, facilitating user interactions with various interactive media, and securing reveals of the outcomes of the real-world wagers through the interactive media such that if the reveals give an appearance that the outcomes of the real-world wagers resulted from the user interactions even though the outcomes resulted from the real-world wagers and were determined before the user interactions. The system may provide an outcome of a real-world wager to be transmitted securely, such that it will be known whether the outcome was viewed by the user and/or the system. For example, the system may enable a wagering outcome to be encrypted, transmitted and later revealed securely, where an indication is provided if the outcome had been earlier revealed or inspected.
