The company's first game Bet Tycoon currently has over 500,000 active users on Facebook. Ingo Hinterding, co-founder at Crowdpark, explained, "Crowdpark is defining an entirely new genre of social betting games based on actual events." "We aim to extend our growth and build amazing games based on our dynamic betting technology, and in other hot growth categories such as casino games."
