Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: let’s talk about DraftKings and FanDuel.

Daily fantasy sports platforms DraftKings and FanDuel have come under considerable scrutiny over the past few months as states grapple with the question of whether fantasy sports qualify as games of skill be considered games of skill — or games of chance.

As you’ve no doubt seen, most states have come down on the side of fantasy sports not being skill-based, and therefore qualifying as gambling.

Here’s the key point to remember: No one has ever questioned whether games of skill are gambling. The question states are grappling with as they consider the case of DraftKings and FanDuel is whether daily fantasy sports are skill based — and the conclusion they are coming to is, “No.”

Every game on Cashplay is skill-based. Players have complete control over their outcome, without chance having an impact on the result. By definition, we are the exact opposite of gambling. There is a world of difference between Cashplay and daily fantasy sports.

Cashplay is a first mover and leader in the eSports industry: We are the first company allowed to distribute real money payouts globally on Apple’s App Store, and we are also the only real money tournament provider operating globally, with cash players in over 150 countries. We have a great relationship with Apple, allowing us to get pre-approvals on our games and fast-track apps to market when needed.

Thus far, we have targeted specific game genres according to what we know works best for real money gaming. Cashplay has partnered with multiple third-party titles like World Golf Tour (the world’s top golf game), Baller Legends, First Touch Games, and many more. We are also establishing partnerships with larger developers like Zynga, Com2US, EA, Vivid, Hutch Games, and other firms who are looking for ways to increase player engagement and average revenue per user. All told, our platform has been integrated into over 100 games since inception.

A bigger focus moving forward, however, is partnering with major developers worldwide to release a series of our own self-published titles, including a 100% skill poker real money game. Many of these self-published games are made in cooperation with and feature high-profile celebrities, including hip-hop superstar Tyga and newly-minted NBA Three-Point Contest champion Klay Thompson.

This snapshot of our growth in just a year and a half, from mid-2014 to the start of 2016, shows how impactful we have been in the market:

Three key factors ensure we’ll continue to outpace the competition:

Our key relationship with Apple, which allows unlimited global real money payout on the App Store.

Our recent whitelisting by Facebook means we are in a position to drive massive traffic via the world’s most popular social platform.

Our partnerships with AAA payment provision partners worldwide, which take upwards of 12 months to secure, include access to over 80 electronic payment methods worldwide.

We also have world-class fraud and cheat protections in place, both operated by an experienced customer service team with over a decade of online gaming experience.

In the coming months, we will launch a joint partnership with Sprint and three of the largest Native American casinos in the country. The Sprint Prepaid Loyalty Card Program is a joint venture where Cashplay is the official Real Money Skill Gaming destination for all casino patrons. With an expected cardholder base of 8 million, Cashplay will get tons of exposure to the right audience: paying gamers who want a real money experience even when not in the casino. In conjunction with this program, Cashplay will also be adding skill aspects to traditional casino games to tap into this expanding audience base.
