The rest of it I wouldn't have expected would make that much money, but it's mind-blowing how much money other games make from in-app purchases, so I suppose it's possible. I'd think that would require a player base that's much more skewed towards recreational players than the 2+2 demographic.
Good luck!
I studied the others who tried. I Know that the Idea is not new, the difference this time is that technology is now cheaper and the team is capable, have the knowledge, the time and everyone loves poker. We are creating everything "in-house".
Another thing that I did not make clear is that we have a very lean structure, and we want to keep this way. If we try to compete marketing dollars against pokerstars, we will lose for sure. So we need to find innovative ways to marketing and create our company in a broad way.
That's why we need various revenues models.
A large portion of poker players plays other games, such as Counter-Strike, Dota, Pubg... and they spend to have a better avatar or a good looking weapon. I think this will be a game change, because it's not in-app purchases, you can win items just for playing(even play-money) and sell them in our marketplace. it's basically a play-to-earn poker.

We are working on our security, it's a main concern to us. The problem with MTTs are that a little MTT is not that appealing, and we don't have money to burn to make a 1m gtd prize, so it need to start little. On-demand MTT is our next game, we will start with zoom cash, because it can run with less players.

I really know how difficult it is. I stand in the shoulders of great people that came before me. I will honor them.
