VC firm Makers Fund and several angel investors, including games industry entrepreneurs Paul Heydon and David Helgason, also participated in the round.

The company will use the fresh capital to expand its offering with 10 new platforms in the coming months, and to penetrate new markets, especially in Asia. The investment will also be used to scale up the team, which is currently composed of 14 members, by making key hires to the company's offices in Malta, London, Seville and Copenhagen.
