The new funding will go toward the company’s expansion beyond just sports games and into video games such as Call of Duty. The goal of it all is to help all kinds of gamers be able to cash in off of their playing skills.

“As much as I love sports video games, the gaming world is much bigger, encompassing many other genres,” Woolridge said. “And as much as I love 1v1 competitiveness, playing with your friends, as opposed to against, is more social and arguably more fun. For years gamers have barraged us with requests to support Call of Duty, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Rocket League, Valorant, and other non-sports, team-based games. We raised this Series A to build what our customers want — which is an entirely new app that accommodates these games titles and the ability to win money gaming with your friends.”

According to the co-founder, every match a user plays is logged and tracked, as well as users have full access to their match and transaction histories at any time to monitor their net earnings.
