Presenting: Cracked Gaming – Free Competitive Gaming, Real Cash Rewards

Cracked Gaming (https://www.crackedgaming.co/) – Founder Andy Worrell presenting, is an online gaming platform where players can join leagues, compete in 1v1 or team matches, and win cash prizes while playing their favorite games.

Gamers lack risk-free opportunities to compete for real cash prizes in a highly competitive market, making it difficult to enjoy the thrill of competition without financial stakes. Cracked Gaming provides a platform where gamers can participate in free-to-play, head-to-head tournaments with cash prizes funded by targeted advertising.

Our platform connects gamers with engaging, interactive ads that support cash prize tournaments, offering an exciting, competitive experience without any financial risk. We are targeting gamers aged 18-34 in the US who need an accessible, risk-free way to participate in competitive gaming and are willing to engage with interactive ads for the chance to win cash prizes.

Our competition is Skillz, FaceIt, and Players’ Lounge. Our competitive advantage is a combination of risk-free cash prizes, an interactive advertising model that has not been seen in the gaming space before, and implementing skill-based matchmaking to ensure a competitive experience.

The total market size is 212 million gamers in the US as of 2024, and total mobile ad spend revenue of $170 billion in 2022.

Top 3 challenges:

• Building and scaling a user base to critical mass, converting social media followers to users
• Establishing sustainable partnerships with advertisers and game publishers
• Optimizing the advertising experience for both gamers and advertisers

Our Pitch Boulder ask: We’re looking for feedback on refining our pitch to possible investors, scaling user acquisition, and the keys to strategic partnerships with advertisers.
