Wamba Technologies, has the exclusive patent to bring in-game wagering to online Esports for physics-based games, including shooters, sports, racing, and fighting games
Los Angeles, January 23, 2024 – Hopscotch USA, the US-based hub of Hopscotch Global PR Group, has partnered with Gary Denham and his Esports company, Wamba Technologies to exclusively handle PR for Wamba.
The brainchild of Arizona-based entrepreneur Gary Denham, Wamba holds the exclusive patent for in-game wagering in skill-based online video games. They are partnering with Hopscotch USA to continue establishing Gary’s and the brand’s profiles in the US as the leading experts in monetizing the highly under-tapped Esports market.
There are approximately 500 million people around the world participating in Esports, but most of them can’t compete online for money because the whole system operates on an honor system that’s rampant with cheating. As a result, the Esports industry has only been clearing around $1.4B in annual revenue – less than $3 per year per player – but Denham and Wamba Technologies hold the key to drastically and exponentially increasing revenue for in-game wagering to breathe fresh life into the Esports industry so it can truly live up to its potential. Their upcoming development, Gamers Oasis, will offer gamers a total revolution from the existing inadequate offering, bringing transparency and fair opportunity for all players, of all skill levels. When his patent is properly monetized, Denham anticipates annual revenue per player to increase from its present value of less than $3 per year per player to hundreds of dollars per year per player.
Laura Crompton, Business Director, Hopscotch USA, commented: “With very little PR done until now, Wamba Technologies is a dream client, with huge potential and big ambitions. We’re delighted to partner with Gary as he embarks on a hugely exciting year for his company and for the Esports industry in general.”
“This exciting new domestic account adds to our already fast-growing client list in Los Angeles,” added Patrick Frison-Roche, Managing Director of Hopscotch Hopscotch Group hubs in Europe, USA and Africa. “We seem to have found the sweet spot between high quality of service, multi-market coverage and cost efficiency. Whether American-focused, European or Global, our assignments deliver results and a value proposition that is critical to clients.”
Hopscotch USA’s clients span B2B and B2C communications across sectors as diverse as agritech, luxury hospitality, entertainment, payments and finance and food.
