About Us
Monkey Tilt is building a gaming platform that will house all speculation, with everything from traditional sports betting and casino games to poker to crypto perpetuals to prediction markets to collectibles and more. And wrapped around this platform is a lifestyle brand that embraces the fact that life is a gamble, and that is fucking awesome.
The company is financed by top-tier institutional investors, closing $21 million last year and preparing to announce a much larger series A financing closing soon. We are led by a CEO and leadership team brimming with youth, energy, and extensive experience in online gaming, crypto trading, culture and design. Tyga, the iconic hip hop artist and fashion icon, recently joined the company as its Creative Director and the team is routinely welcoming entertainment giants and cultural icons to its roster.
Unlike other competitors that focus on a sportsbook, casino, poker or a hybrid of those 3, MonkeyTilt aspires to bring together many more verticals in gambling and speculation all unified by a single, multi-currency wallet and a best-in-class rewards system. Moreover, many brands and concepts will spin off of MonkeyTilt but continue to be a part of our interconnected ecosystem, including our soon-to-launch fashion label, Tilt Club Collection; our podcast, the Fully Tilted Pod; and other yet to be released media assets.
Online casinos have not evolved over the last 25 years. And to think that in the next 25 years, they will live in isolation as they do now is foolhardy. Speculation is a lifestyle that can be exercised through many outlets, and we plan to be the central point of distribution for as many of those as you can imagine. And we want to deliver that in a fresh and unique way.
We are excited to work together to build the platform of the future. Welcome to the team.
