Playing games for money is nothing new, but a game called Kwari is hoping to shake up the tournament formula and make the competition more personal.

Kwari is a free-to-download FPS in which players put their money where their skills are by agreeing on a "per hit" rate of one penny to one dollar. Every time you score a hit, that amount of cash is taken from your opponent's account and put in yours, with the reverse happening when you're hit yourself.

Money earned from self-inflicted damage, like from a fall, gets put into communal jackpots, which are awarded on a regular basis. Players are matched based on skill, so that (theoretically) no-one ends up feeling completely robbed. None of the prize money goes to the "house"--they collect their cash by selling players ammo at a fixed rate.

If you're intrigued, sign-ups for the beta are now open.
