Skillz: iOS players will be able to compete with Android players for money

The Skillz service for esports competitions is becoming cross-platform. Users of Android devices will be able to compete with owners of iOS devices and receive prizes for it. Including money.

Recall that Skillz works like this: developers integrate the SDK of the service into the game. After that, the user who downloaded the game starts his own Skillz account and pays a small fee to participate in tournaments for money. In case of winning, the player receives the bets of all participants of the competition.

Previously, with the help of the service, players fought only with users of similar devices. That is, for example, an iPhone owner could not compete with a Samsung user.

At the time of the release of this material, Skillz paid $21 million in winnings to users of the service. The number of registered Skillz players is 7 million. The SDK of the service has integrated 1100 developers into games.
