The History of Nitro Survivor
Humble Beginnings
In 2016, Nitrobetting launched its first-ever Nitro NFL Survivor contests under the site’s former brand Nitrogen Sports. That year, seven buy-in survivor pools and one free-entry pool was created, as well as a special pool reserved for Reddit users. A total of 111,000 mBTC (~$64,000 at the time of conversion) was at stake that year, with the succeeding years seeing both increases in Bitcoin value as well as the number of survivor pools being offered by the site.Nitrobetting added three more special freeroll survivor pools in 2017 by offering the contest to more social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Nitrobetting’s in-house 24/7 chat client. By 2019, Nitrobetting had a total of 10 freeroll survivor pools and eight buy-in pools, with the combined prize purse amounting to a whopping 4,970,500 mBTC (~$470,000).
