US – Sparket’s Social Betwork platform earns GLI certification and launches equity crowdfunding campaign
By Phil - 3 October 2022
Sparket has announced that its pari-mutuel sportsbook platform has been certified to Gaming Laboratories International’s (GLI) standard, GLI-33 Event Wagering Systems v1.1.
This certification from the world’s leading testing lab positions Sparket to offer its B2B live event wagering platform for real money wagering in regulated jurisdictions.Â
In parallel, the company is launching an equity crowdfunding raise on the crowd investing platform, StartEngine. With the validation gained from their GLI-33 certification and initial partnerships, this marks an opportune time for investors to claim their stake in Sparket. The current raise on StartEngine provides a trusted, simple, and secure platform to facilitate the investment process for those that are ready to invest in the future of event wagering, with a minimum investment of just $250.Â
Evan Fisher spent 8 years at Google prior to co-founding Sparket as COO: “GLI certification is a massive milestone for our company. Our tech team has been hard at work for over a year building key compliance, security, and reporting features that will give prospective partners confidence that the Sparket platform is robust and ready for action.”
Sparket’s announcements follow previously announced deals with USBookmaking and Cahuilla Casino. In the past year, they’ve run a live esports event during Comic-Con, held contests in everything from traditional sports to reality TV, and partnered with several private golf clubs to enhance the member tournament experience. Most recently, they have partnered with Wagr, a licensed sportsbook operator, to help drive user acquisition during pro football season.
