Cue Sports Is a Global, Year‑Round Powerhouse

The next six months alone feature dozens of major tournaments, tours, and championships across every major market. RUNOUT sits inside one of the most active global sports ecosystems.

A complete wagering and engagement ecosystem
RunOut is the first cue sport engineered specifically for wagering. Every pattern is deterministic, every shot is structured data, and the format is protected by a granted US patent — creating an operator-ready catalogue of live markets, freeze markets, leaderboards, social play and player engagement.
Yes / No Markets
Simple binary markets built for high turnover and fast settlement — the backbone of the live offering, launch-ready with no historical data.
Player Session Markets
Each session is one hour and 15 pattern attempts. Known layout difficulty plus player completion history keeps variance low — ideal pre-session products.
Pre-Frame “Hard Ball” Market
Before each pattern begins, the system identifies the ball the player is statistically most likely to miss — a RunOut-exclusive market made possible by deterministic pattern design.
Live Micro-Event Markets (Freeze Markets)
The signature RunOut innovation: a real-time, event-triggered micro-market created whenever a player is forced into a high-difficulty situation. Comparable to ball-by-ball cricket, with deterministic data integrity behind every price.
Performance-Based Markets
Data-driven markets built on the gap between modelled expectations and live outcomes.
Daily & Weekly Leaderboards
Generated continuously from all global sessions — a persistent layer of social competition that drives repeat engagement and wagering volume.
Social Play & Community Engagement
Session-based play built for social wagering as much as solo play — extending time-on-platform and creating peer-to-peer acquisition loops.
Player Bonuses & Challenges
Daily, weekly and overall bonuses layered on top of the core wagering product to increase session volume and retention.
Future Markets — Unlocked by Data
Once 10,000–20,000 shots are logged, RunOut's structured data set unlocks a second generation of markets no other cue sport can offer.
RunOut delivers what no competing cue sport can match: a fully data-native wagering sport, a complete engagement ecosystem, a built-in social and virality layer, and a scalable global product with sub-second to 45-second settlement windows — protected by US Patent 11,541,301.

Live gameplay
"RUNOUT is what pool was waiting for. Finally, a game where the player is just against the table. This game can reach every single person on this planet at any time — and you don't even have to go out of the house."
The next era of cue sport starts here
Seven balls. One visit. Pure nerve. The 3-ball to 4-ball transition is the kind of shot that defines careers — a swerved cue ball, up and down the rail then threading traffic to land perfectly on the next pot. This is exactly the drama RUNOUT is built to deliver, every few minutes.
RUNOUT is bringing the theatre back to cue sports
Snooker legend Jimmy White v Australia's #1, Vinnie Calabrese — head to head, live markets, real stakes. This is what a new wagering format for cue sports looks like: fast, fan-first, and built for the modern viewer.
“Brilliant new game. I couldn't wait for the next pattern to be set up.”
How popular is cue sports?
A globally beloved game with hundreds of millions of casual players — the exact audience RUNOUT is built for.
Not just big — global-tier. GBE is now larger than CES, MWC, GITEX, ISPO, FIBO, and every gaming / iGaming expo on earth.
Snooker is massive in China
A single match can pull 200 million viewers in China — a scale most global sports cannot reach.
Cue sports has a ready‑made global audience with zero education cost, low acquisition friction, and massive cultural penetration across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Cue sports aren't waiting to be discovered. They are waiting to be claimed.
Cue sports have fans everywhere
The global fanbase is the envy of every other sport.

Protected by US Patent No. 11,541,301
"RUNOUT has developed a proprietary, patented format for live pool broadcast content (US Patent No. 11,541,301), combining professional-standard match play with real-time wagering events."
RunOut — a new professional competitive format within cue sports — is coming to broadcast, streaming, and digital audiences worldwide, courtesy of SIDI. Featuring elite cue-sports talent and official match data licensed to the world's leading wagering operators, RunOut is redefining how cue sports are watched, followed, and played.
The patent covers the core method of data collection and outcome modelling that powers every wagering event in the RUNOUT ecosystem. This creates a defensible moat across format, data feed, and operator integration.
Unlike high-capex competitors, RUNOUT is digital-first and broadcast-light — uniquely positioned for global scale. Poolhouse London's recent $55M USD raise validates the market category we already own the IP for.
"Patents get cited by accident. Foundational patents get cited on purpose.
In 2023, Sony Interactive Entertainment's own patent attorneys cited SIDI's RUNOUT patent as prior art for their PlayStation skill-rating system — a Fortune 500 company's IP team independently deciding our method for turning recorded outcomes into a statistically sound probability value was worth building on top of.
That's not a partnership. It's better: it's the industry's own paper trail confirming the ground we staked out in 2018 actually matters. Sony didn't need to know we existed. Their lawyers found us anyway.
Built for continuous global broadcast
Two live broadcast tables running up to eight hours per day, seven days a week — while a virtual representation of the game streams continuously around the clock, generating 15 racks per hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
