I was involved in exploring using Bitcoin in online tournament payouts for various arcade games and board games and spoke with an experienced lawyer. The US is a patchwork of state laws on gambling, payout structures, differing definition of game, chance, whether it is a lottery, whether it's considered fair, etc etc, the conditions are a dense briar and at any time any attroney general of any of the states can decide you're in violation of state law and ruin your life. Be extremely careful, do not attach your real name to this project, or be sure to never step foot in the US, the laws this is violating can easily land you in prison for decades.
