VIKER is a long-time partner of ZEBEDEE. The two companies previously worked together to bring bitcoin rewards to Wheel of Trivia, Amazeballs and Balls King. The success of these games integrating bitcoin rewards encouraged a similar approach with these more classic games with the intention of capturing a larger audience.
Recently, ZEBEDEE was backed by the AAA gaming studio Square Enix Entertainment. RE3W and GFPs covered this in a recent news post.
