Did you build the app yourself or with a team? If yourself, what is your background to achieve that?

What regulation red tape was the hardest to get pass?

Hi,

I built the app myself. But we now have a small team of devs working on it with me overseeing the bigger projects.

My background is in computer science from UT Austin. I worked at Amazon as Software Development Engineer/Manager for around 4 years.

Red tape and regulation in the world of betting is different for each state and can be a nightmare to manage, so I made the decision early on to not allow real money in the App. So there is no real money exchanged in the app, we simply track balances of bets your propose to friends. It is unit based, so therefore legal in all states. How you settle up the balances is up to you.

We still run into issues occasionally, at the moment we have some policy issues we need to fix for the Google play store.
