Build the finance function of a rapidly scaling US gaming company.

Our client is a fast-growing US social gaming Super-App combining two highly complementary consumer experiences within a single platform:

- Sweepstakes Social Casino — a rapidly growing portfolio of casino games built around a dual-currency sweepstakes model.
- Digital Collectibles / Ripping Packs — a digital collectibles experience where users open packs containing real sports and trading cards, with the ability to instantly sell them back or have them shipped.

Both verticals operate within the same ecosystem, sharing the user base, VIP programme, payments infrastructure and lifecycle strategy. This creates significant cross-sell opportunities between two high-monetization categories while allowing the business to acquire and monetize users through multiple entry points. The company is growing at approximately 50% month-on-month and scaling rapidly across the US. Backed by leading gaming and technology investors, the business has raised significant capital to accelerate its growth. Our client is now entering its next phase of scale, with increasing investment across user acquisition, new products, VIP and retention, payments infrastructure and cross-sell.
