Proceeds Purpose
The company will use the new money mostly for team and development expansion; for finishing off elements of the Chumba World platform, like the option to create user-generated content; and for marketing. It will also go toward a casino license, so players in countries that permit online gambling can build, promote, and make money off their own virtual casinos once the game goes live sometime in August.
