RumbleMonkey Rolls Out of Stealth, Showcases Head-to-Head eSports Platform at PAX West
SEATTLE, Washington (PRWEB) September 03, 2016 -- RumbleMonkey, the head-to-head eSports platform for all gamers, today announced its company debut and exclusive preview of its real-money eSports technology at PAX West in Seattle, September 2-5. The early reveal invites casual to competitive gamers to ‘Up Their Game’ and pit their skills against one another for pride and prizes in live, head-to-head matches all weekend long at booth #7311. RumbleMonkey will also be donating a portion of the winnings to Child’s Play, an organization that works to better the lives of children in domestic violence shelters and hospitals.
The eSports industry is exploding in the U.S. and around the world, with viewership skyrocketing to an estimated 19.4 million by 2020. According to Eilers Research, this burgeoning market is ripe to also develop into a market for real-money wagering, with viewers estimated to wager $23.5 billion on eSports events by 2020. Backed by angel funding, RumbleMonkey is uniquely positioned to carve out a portion of this growing industry by giving all gamers a chance to participate in the eSports community and compete for real money. With patent-pending technology, RumbleMonkey will give players a seamless, transparent and secure process to be matched up with opponents, choose a comfortable buy-in amount and compete.
“We’re at the cusp of an emerging sector experiencing explosive growth. eSports is really the next frontier of video games, and the community demand is growing for more ways to join in,” said Jacob Rapoport, founder and CEO of RumbleMonkey. “With RumbleMonkey, we’re working to get in on the ground floor to build these user-centric experiences and grow alongside the community.”
Visitors to RumbleMonkey’s booth at PAX will have the opportunity to enter a match for $5 or $100, with all proceeds going to Child’s Play. To up the competition, a few of the region’s best gamers will also be at the booth and ready for head-to-head play. Players who win will get bragging rights and the option to keep their prize money or exchange a donation to Child’s Play for swag.
