The SDK of the Skillz service has been released

The other day, the official launch of the Skillz SDK for iOS finally took place, which allows you to embed competitions for real money into games.

Recall that everything works like this: the developer integrates Skillz into his project as a multiplayer component. Then the players who downloaded the app activate their own Skillz account, which is common to all games that support it. Then they can compete in projects with other players for real money, after entering their credit card details. The minimum entry threshold for a paid session is $0.25. In case of winning, the user receives the bets of all participants of the tournament. Skillz itself charges 10% of all entrance fees.

Skillz, first of all, is focused on those projects where victory is not determined randomly, but depends on the player's abilities. For this reason, the service, if we talk about the United States, is allowed in 37 of the 50 states. In the remaining 13, any money games are prohibited.

Today, the platform boasts 1.5 million user accounts.

Yes, those companies that connected Skillz during the beta testing phase of the service earned more than $0.20 in additional revenue from each active player per day.

A number of Glu Mobile projects support Skillz. In the middle of last year, Atlas Venture and Nextview Ventures invested $4 million in the service.
