Оригинал
’m looking for a developer or team that has already built and shipped real-money skill-based mobile games, ideally apps similar to games running on platforms like Skillz, Triumph, AviaGames, WorldWinner, or similar competitive tournament platforms, or apps like Wagr and Triumph.
I am not looking for someone to build this from zero. I need someone who already has a working, legally reusable codebase that can be adapted, rebranded, and merged into my existing UI and platform.
Important
You must own the code or have the legal right to reuse/license it. Do not apply if the code belongs to a previous employer, client, Skillz, Triumph, or another company unless you have written permission to reuse it.
What I Need
I need a complete real-money skill-game platform that can be customized with my branding, UI, and game rules.
The system should include:
iOS/Android mobile game app
Real-money tournament entry
One-time payment flow
PayPal/card payment integration or adaptable payment layer
Server-side payment verification
State eligibility gating for paid tournament entry
KYC required for payouts/withdrawals, not for tournament entry
Wallet ledger and user balances
Entry fees, winnings, refunds, withdrawals
Admin dashboard
Affiliate dashboard
Support dashboard
Tournament creation and management
Affiliate-created private tournaments
Leaderboards
Matchmaking or tournament queue system
Real-time or server-authoritative gameplay
Fraud/anti-cheat controls
Audit logs
Chargeback/dispute handling
Payout review and approval flow
Geo/state restrictions
User bans, holds, account review
Notifications
Production-ready deployment setup
Affiliate Feature Required
Affiliates must be able to:
Create their own tournaments within admin-defined limits
Set tournament name, entry fee, prize pool, dates, and player caps
Generate invite links or codes
Track referrals
View tournament performance
View commission earnings
Request payouts
Manage private tournament rooms
See analytics for signups, paid entries, and conversions
Admin must be able to approve, edit, suspend, or limit affiliate-created tournaments.
Admin Dashboard Required
The dashboard should be fully functional, not just a mockup.
Admin should be able to:
Manage users
View KYC status
Manage eligible/restricted states
Review payments
Review withdrawals/payouts
Handle refunds and disputes
Create/edit/stop tournaments
Approve affiliate tournaments
Manage affiliates and commission rules
View wallet ledger and transaction history
See fraud flags
Ban/suspend users
View audit logs
Send announcements/notifications
Manage support tickets
Ideally, the dashboard should be customizable so we can change logos, colors, text, and branding without rebuilding the entire system.
Current Stack
I currently have starter repos for:
React Native mobile app
Node.js/Express backend
PostgreSQL database
DragonflyDB/Redis
Socket.io
React/Vite admin dashboard
The current code is incomplete. I need your existing working system merged into this structure or used to replace incomplete parts.
Server-Authoritative Matchmaking + Anti-Cheat Game Engine Required
The platform must include a real matchmaking system and a secure server-authoritative game engine for a real-money competitive card game similar to UNO/Ultimo.
The game engine must not trust the client for outcomes. The mobile app should only send player actions, and the backend/server should validate every move, enforce rules, calculate results, and update tournament standings.
Required game engine features:
Server-authoritative match state
Secure matchmaking queues
Tournament-scoped matchmaking
Real-time 1v1 match sessions
Socket/WebSocket-based gameplay
Server-side deck shuffle
Cryptographically secure random seed
Server-side card dealing
Server-side turn validation
Server-side rule enforcement
Valid move checking
Turn timers
Timeout penalties
Disconnect/reconnect handling
Forfeit handling if user leaves match
Server-calculated winner/loser
Server-calculated tournament points
Leaderboard updates from server results only
Match logs
Replay/evidence artifacts
Dispute review tools
Fraud/anti-cheat signals
Card game rules must support or be adaptable to the rules in my SRS, including:
Draw Two stacking behavior
Reverse behavior
1v1 Skip behavior
Wild card behavior
Wild Draw Four behavior
Custom special card behavior
Valid move enforcement based on top card/current color
Points calculated from the losing player’s remaining hand
Timer and penalty rules
Forfeit on leaving active match
Anti-cheat requirements:
Client cannot choose deck order
Client cannot deal cards
Client cannot modify hand state
Client cannot declare win/loss
Client cannot alter score
Client cannot update leaderboard directly
Client cannot bypass payment verification
Client cannot join unpaid tournaments
Server must reject invalid moves
Server must log invalid move attempts
Server must detect suspicious disconnects/timeouts
Server must support dispute review from match logs/replays
Matchmaking requirements:
Players are matched only inside the same tournament
Matchmaking queues are separated by tournament ID
Paid/verified tournament entry is required before queue entry
State eligibility must be checked before paid entry
KYC is not required for paid entry, only for payouts/withdrawals
Queue state should be visible to player
Admin should be able to monitor queue/match activity
Failed match starts should not corrupt tournament state

Deliverable
I want a working end-to-end platform where:

User pays to enter
Backend verifies payment
User joins only after payment is confirmed
KYC is only required before payout/withdrawal
