The round also drew investment from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming and a number of executives from the gaming industry including Fifth Street Gaming chief executive Seth Schorr, Wagr chief compliance officer and head of operations Lauren Lemmer, and industry veteran venturer and investor Quinton Singleton.
