Some time again World Sport Area proprietor Frode Jorgensen reached out concerning “GGA 2.0”.
Following World Sport Area’s collapse again in April, at this time we revisit the chance to see what’s modified.
The Firm
World Sport Area’s web site comprises no details about who owns or runs the corporate.
The unique firm was based by Frode Jorgensen and Daniel Grenon.
Grenon break up across the time of the collapse for FutureNet.
Replace 2nd September 2019 – A BehindMLM reader has knowledgeable me that Grenon is now pitching himself as co-founder of FXTV World. /finish replace
Clearly Jorgensen continues to be concerned but it surely’s unclear if he’s appearing alone.

On line casino Commissions
World Sport Area’s compensation plan states that associates can
earn from on line casino merchandise and product gross sales generated by your crew of gamers.
As I perceive it World Sport Area’s retail prospects are its non-affiliate referred gamers.
Fee quantity generated by way of participant on line casino exercise is calculated primarily based on their losses.
On line casino commissions are paid out a share of those losses as follows:
- associates with one energetic participant obtain 25% of their participant’s losses
- associates with two to 4 energetic gamers obtain 30% of their participant’s losses
- associates with 5 to 14 energetic gamers obtain 35% of their participant’s losses
- associates with fifteen to twenty-nine energetic gamers obtain 40% of their participant’s losses
- associates with thirty or extra energetic gamers obtain 45% of their participant’s losses
On the MLM facet of issues, $10 in losses generates 1 PV/GV.
World Sport Area additionally apparently sells lottery tickets, which generate a ten% fee.
Recruitment Commissions
World Sport Area associates obtain 10% of funds invested by recruited associates.
Residual Commissions
World Sport Area pays residual commissions by way of a binary compensation construction.
A binary compensation construction locations an affiliate on the high of a binary crew, break up into two sides (left and proper):
The primary degree of the binary crew homes two positions. The second degree of the binary crew is generated by splitting these first two positions into one other two positions every (4 positions).
Subsequent ranges of the binary crew are generated as required, with every new degree housing twice as many positions because the earlier degree.
Positions within the binary crew are stuffed by way of direct and oblique recruitment of associates. Be aware there isn’t any restrict to how deep a binary crew can develop.
Binary quantity is generated by way of on line casino participant exercise (see “on line casino commissions above), and straight and not directly recruited affiliate funding.
- recruitment of a Inexperienced tier affiliate generates 150 GV
- recruitment of a Yellow tier affiliate generates 750 GV
- recruitment of a Purple tier affiliate generates 1500 GV
GV stands for “Group Quantity” and, versus uncooked funding quantity, is a reductive factors primarily based system used to calculate residual commissions.
A binary fee cycle is generated for every 150 GV matched on either side of the binary crew.
The payout per binary fee cycle calculated every week begins at €50 EUR.
- Associates earn €50 EUR per cycle
- Government Associates earn €55 EUR per cycle
- Sapphire associates earn €60 EUR per cycle
- Emerald associates earn €65 EUR per cycle
- Ruby associates earn €70 EUR per cycle

Be aware that weekly residual commissions are additionally capped primarily based on how a lot a World Sport Area affiliate has invested:

- Yellow tier associates are capped at incomes €20,000 EUR per week in residual commissions
- Purple tier associates are capped at incomes €30,000 EUR per week in residual commissions
Matching Bonus
World Sport Area pays a Matching Bonus on residual commissions earned by downline associates.
The Matching Bonus is tracked by way of a unilevel compensation construction.
A unilevel compensation construction locations an affiliate on the high of a unilevel crew, with each personally recruited affiliate positioned straight underneath them (degree 1):
If any degree 1 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 2 of the unique affiliate’s unilevel crew.
If any degree 2 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 3 and so forth and so forth down a theoretical infinite variety of ranges.
World Sport Area caps the Matching Bonus at 5 unilevel crew ranges.
What number of ranges an affiliate earns the Matching Bonus on is set by what number of cycles an affiliate earned:
- earn ten binary cycles and obtain a 15% match on degree 1 (personally recruited associates)
- earn fifteen binary cycles and obtain a 15% match on degree 1 and 10% on degree 2
- earn twenty binary cycles and obtain a 15% match on degree 1, 10% on degree 2 and 5% on degree 3

- earn fifty binary cycles and obtain a 15% match on degree 1, 10% on degree 2 and 5% on ranges 3 to five
Be aware that it’s unclear whether or not cycle qualification is weekly or accumulative.
Hodl Field Returns
World Sport Area’s compensation plan states that
GGA tokens in affiliate packages are mechanically positioned within the Hodl Field.
The Hodl Field offers associates with a every day share return, paid out in tokens.
- Inexperienced tier traders obtain 0.1% a day
- Yellow tier traders obtain 0.3% a day

Be aware that World Sport Area doesn’t publicize the inner GGA token worth.
Becoming a member of World Sport Area
Though World Sport Area advertising and marketing their affiliate packages as “non-compulsory”, funding in at the least one is required to totally take part within the hooked up MLM alternative.
That is primarily based on weekly residual binary fee caps, which begin at €10,000 on the Inexperienced tier.
With that in thoughts, there are three paid World Sport Area affiliate choices:
- Inexperienced – €500 EUR
- Yellow – €2500 EUR
- Purple – €5000 EUR
There isn’t any acknowledged residual binary fee cap for associates who don’t put money into World Sport Area’s compensation materials.
Conclusion
Our major considerations with World Sport Area’s unique enterprise mannequin have been that GGA tokens have been Ponzi factors, and that the on line casino facet of the enterprise was unlawful.
World Sport Area’s GGA tokens are nonetheless Ponzi factors. The introduction of “Hodl Field” makes this much more blatant.
By means of Hodl Field, World Sport Area’s on line casino operations turn into irrelevant.
Associates join, put money into tokens, mentioned tokens are “mechanically positioned within the Hodl Field”, and every day returns in tokens are generated.
Returns are realized when World Sport Area associates withdraw by means of World Sport Area’s inside trade.
The funding of returns by subsequent funding in World Sport Area affiliate packages stays current.
By nature of Hodl Field being a passive funding scheme, it constitutes a securities providing.
This requires World Sport Area to register itself with securities regulators in each jurisdiction it solicits funding in.
Once I introduced this up with Frode Jorgensen, he acknowledged
the aim for and considered the Hodl Field is to present gamers extra tokens as a bonus to play for within the on line casino.
I see your concern, however i don’t assume it’s associated to securities fraud because the tokens have actual worth and are used within the On line casino to play On line casino Video games.
The truth that the on line casino will be ignored fully in favor or withdrawing GGA tokens by means of the trade seems, deliberately or in any other case, misplaced on Jorgensen.
That is verbatim from World Sport Area’s compensation plan;
All every day rewards are paid on to your GGA Token pockets.
You’ll be able to withdraw your deposited tokens at any time.
Once I pushed him additional on it, Jorgensen retreated into the “bitcoin isn’t a safety” trope.
To be clear, the difficulty right here is World Sport Area’s passive funding alternative – that’s the safety.
With respect to securities regulation, the automobile the safety is obtainable by means of (bitcoin, GGA tokens, fiat and so on.) is irrelevant.
GGA Gold tokens are new too.
Taken from World Sport Area’s compensation plan, right here’s the first function of GGA Gold tokens.
Token holders on pay-day will get a Quarterly Bonus paid to their GGA Wallets deriving from 50% of Gross Revenue firm broad.
Two issues:
- if nearly all of “gross revenue firm broad” is affiliate funding, that’s a clear-cut Ponzi scheme;
- investing in GGA Gold tokens, doing nothing and accumulating a passive quarterly return is indisputably a securities providing.
Shifting on to World Sport Area’s on line casino operations, right here’s what we wrote in our unique overview:
World Sport Area present no proof of being registered or licensed to offer entry to gaming actions in any jurisdiction.
Which means the corporate’s gaming choices are unlawful in most nations.
Within the footer of World Sport Area’s web site, it states
All GGA merchandise and video games are collectively operated by World Sport Area Ltd. and Novus Options Curacao N.V.
Fairly clearly these are each shell corporations. Does the scam-friendly Curaçao jurisdiction regulate playing?
In keeping with the World Authorized Group, on-line on line casino gaming is regulated in Curaçao by the Curaçao eGaming Licensing Authority.
World Sport Area offers no indication on its web site that it has registered with the Curaçao eGaming Licensing Authority.
Or with gaming regulators wherever on this planet for that matter.
On high of Ponzi and unlawful playing considerations, World Sport Area’s enterprise mannequin additionally triggers pyramid scheme and pay to play regulatory pink flags.
World Sport Area is a pyramid scheme by means of associates getting paid 10% to recruit new associates who make investments.
Funding quantity additionally generates binary crew quantity. If mentioned affiliate funding quantity is the first supply of binary crew quantity company-wide, that re-enforces the pyramid nature of the enterprise.
Pay to play is obvious by means of how a lot a World Sport Area affiliate invests capping their weekly residual fee earnings.
All in all not a lot has modified with World Sport Area.
Token funding continues to be the core focus of the enterprise, with gaming serving as a pseudo-compliance backdrop.
If approached concerning the alternative, you possibly can verify this by asking what number of “self-funded” gamers the affiliate has.
That’s associates who’ve personally funded gaming exercise to generate binary quantity.
Bear in mind tokens will be given out to participant so make sure you discard these gamers.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, as soon as investor recruitment dies out so too will invested funds.
This can immediate a collapse, ensuing within the majority of World Sport Area traders shedding cash.
Replace 14th Could 2020 – World Sport Area seems to have collapsed someday after launch. In early 2020 it was rebooted as BetPlay365.
Replace thirtieth Could 2020 – BetPlay365 has been rebooted as Daxio.
