Casual games are familiar, fun pastimes such as:
- Board games like draughts, backgammon
- Sports games like pool, golf and basketball
- Puzzle games like jigsaws and word games
These are played online in a tournament format,with each player paying a cash entry fee to play,and with a cash or merchandise prize going to the winner or winners of the tournament. Skill-based games are named accordingly because the outcome of each competition is based on the players’ ability and performance, with any with any elements of luck eliminated. This is critical, in order to be legal and avoid falling under anti-gambling statutes. People like to play these games on their computers for a fun challenge. Playing them online against someone else adds an extra social, competitive element; and playing for cash prizes between USD$1 and $1,000 upwards makes them even more exciting and rewarding!
What does all of this mean? It means that online games are where the money is. People are willing to pay to play, and they are doing it already. Interesting fact?
…It’s much more than that. Challenging a friend to a game, “u V me”, IS YOUR BUSINESS. The more fun people have, the bigger your profit. You don’t have to worry about stocks, overheads, selling, in fact, we’ve knocked down every barrier and erased every stigma attached, replacing it only with simplicity, fun, and status. So WIN or LOSE, you will always be a winner!
