Partnering with Sportsflare is a rare opportunity that puts Skrmiish at the forefront of developing the next generation of skill-based gaming.”
The Bet-on-Yourself infrastructure, allows partners to add account verification, pricing, risk management, settlement, and match data solutions to their platforms to offer player-vs-environment (PVE) skill-based gaming to their users. The collaboration begins with a rollout for Fortnite and Skrmiish plans to deploy Sportsflare’s technology offering on more immensely popular esports titles in the future.
“We are excited to partner with Skrmiish, the world’s first app-driven community gaming platform that enables users to monetize their gaming experience,” said Max Polaczuk, Chief Technology Officer of Tiidal Gaming.
“We are impressed by their application, marketing strategy, and rapid growth, and share a similar vision for what we believe skill-based gaming can become. By providing them with our Bet-on-Yourself solution, the Skrmiish app will offer an immersive experience for players to create their own cash matches with PVE outcomes. Overall, this partnership allows us to expand our product reach to a wider audience of competitive gamers and we look forward to commencing the deployment of our technology offering for Skrmiish on popular games.”
Skrmiish was launched globally in 2021, and is the first gaming app that allows gamers, streamers, teams as well as brands to collaborate, compete and monetise their gaming experiences. The app is built for users to compete in tournaments and create cash matches on player-vs-player and PVE games. The app also has its own unique BTC cryptocurrency digital wallet that accepts fiat and cryptocurrency payments for cash matches. The wallet is currently in Beta testing in the UK with rollout to the EU and US happening over the next few months.
