End-of-week update: A new project on the horizon This week I’ve been heavily involved in building out a project that me and John Robery have been conceptualising for years. The form is a LOT different than it was when we started. But I think we’ve finally perfected the product, and I can’t wait to show it to you all. It’s a really unique concept for iGaming. It may actually make some of you feel a bit uncomfortable. But change is never easy, and sometimes, attitudes and mindsets need to catch up :) All I’ll say is if you come on this journey with us? It’ll make the industry a better place. Which is why we’re investing significantly in this project. Even secured a kickass domain name for it. What have you been working on this week?
