Round Open Now

A once-in-a-decade
African gaming opportunity.

Nigeria has 220 million people, 60% under 30, and a deep cultural love of competitive games. Gameathon is the first platform built to capture this market at scale — properly licensed, fully secure, and already built.

Market Opportunity

The numbers speak
for themselves.

Nigeria is one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies. The timing for a regulated skill-gaming platform has never been better.

Common investor questions answered
Why invest before the licence is secured?
The highest returns in tech come before mass adoption. The licence is the unlock — this round funds it. Investors who wait until after the licence will pay a significantly higher valuation.
Is the product actually built?
Yes. Six fully functional games are built and tested. This is not an idea on a slide — it is a working product seeking the licence and marketing budget to scale.
How does Gameathon make money?
Gameathon takes a platform fee (7–10%) from every match stake. Neither player pays unless they choose to play — the fee comes from the prize pool automatically.
Use of Funds

Where every Naira goes.

The ₦100 million raised in this round has four specific, measurable uses — each critical to the path to profitability.

01 — Licensing

Gaming Operator Licence

Securing a full gaming operator licence from the appropriate Nigerian regulatory authority. This is the single most important unlock — it allows us to operate legally, partner with Nigerian banks, and build institutional trust.

Est. 30–35% of raise
02 — Registration

₦100M CAC Share Capital

Registering Gameathon Nigeria Ltd at the full ₦100 million authorised share capital with the Corporate Affairs Commission. This signals institutional seriousness and is required for banking relationships and future investment rounds.

Est. 20–25% of raise
03 — Growth

Marketing & User Acquisition

Digital advertising, social media campaigns, micro-influencer partnerships and campus activations targeting Nigeria's under-35 population. Goal: 50,000 registered users within 6 months of public launch.

Est. 25–30% of raise
04 — Team

Early Team Salaries

Funding the first 6–12 months of salaries for key early employees across engineering, customer service and operations. Quality people are what turn a good product into a great business.

Est. 15–20% of raise
