Splash Sports, the exciting peer-to-peer real money gaming platform, is making waves across the United States.
It's a venture that falls under the same umbrella as RunYourPool and Office Football Pool, all operated by Splash Inc. The individuals driving this innovation are Joel Milton and T.J. Ross, co-founders of Splash Sports.
Joel Milton: The Visionary Co-Founder
Joel Milton, one of the brains behind Splash Sports, is a passionate advocate for transforming the gaming economy through innovation and community-driven experiences.
As the co-founder of the platform, he expressed his excitement about Splash Sports going live in 33 states just in time for the NFL season.
One of the key driving forces behind this venture is the desire to offer real-money gaming experiences on the same platform where RunYourPool and Office Football Pool have thrived.
According to Joel Milton, this is a response to a frequent request from users who asked, "Can we play games for real money on your platform?" Now, for some of their most popular games, the answer is a resounding "yes."
T.J. Ross: Co-Founder and Believer in Community Building
T.J. Ross, the other co-founder of Splash Sports, shares a similar vision of creating a vibrant community of participants and contest organizers. He emphasizes the importance of commissioners (contest organizers) and how they add a unique personality to the contests.
In T.J. Ross's view, commissioners are akin to content creators, and the contests they organize are the content. The company aims to reward commissioners for crafting compelling contests and incentivize them to host more.
T.J. Ross recognizes the synergy between Splash Sports and existing content creators, such as sports bloggers, podcasters, and Twitch streamers.
These individuals can become commissioners themselves, using Splash Sports to engage with their communities and establish new revenue streams.
Commissioner Economy™ and Exciting Partnerships
As part of its launch, Splash Sports has introduced the Commissioner Economy™, aiming to reward commissioners up to $2 million in total bonuses for organizing contests.
This product is already underway, with the company collaborating with top commissioners from RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool, as well as industry partners like Fantasy Pros, Playmaker, All City Sports, and Betsperts.
The Backing of Prominent Investors
Splash Sports is owned and operated by Splash Inc., a company that acquired RunYourPool and Office Football Pool in 2021.
The company has quickly grown to become one of the largest entertainment-only gaming providers in the United States, boasting over 2.3 million active users.
It has gained the support of several leading venture firms and prominent individuals from the worlds of sports, entertainment, and technology.
Venture firms like Accomplice, Acies Investments, Elysian Park Ventures, Velvet Sea Ventures, and Boston Seed Capital have been instrumental in the company's journey.
Additionally, notable figures such as Theo Epstein, Alex Morgan, Jonathan Kraft, Mike Gordon, and Sam Kennedy have invested in the vision of Splash Sports.
Joel Milton and T.J. Ross, the co-founders of Splash Sports, are passionate about reshaping the gaming economy and providing a platform for friends and groups to safely compete for real money.
Their vision has transformed into a reality, with Splash Sports now live in multiple states and continuing to expand. The company's Commissioner Economy™ initiative and partnerships with industry leaders promise an exciting future for the platform.
Splash Sports is not just a game-changer in the world of sports gaming; it's a testament to the power of innovation and community building in the digital age.
