PRAGUE, Czech Republic -- Crazy Lazy Runner, an endless runner produced by Madrid-based G4M3 Studios, is the first App Store-approved game to feature cashplay.co's monetization platform. There are 57 other titles from 31 developers in their pipeline.
Cashplay.co CEO Jarrod Epps said: "This is a watershed moment for iOS developers. Instead of driving gamers away with ads or in-app purchases -- methods that simply don't work for the majority of titles -- developers can use a competitive platform that not only makes money but also makes games more attractive to players. The fact we're able to offer this worldwide brings a massive potential audience to the game."
G4M3 Studios Head of Studio Juancho Carrillo said: "Being able to quickly and easily integrate cashplay.co's player-versus-player cash tournaments into our game means there's now a viable alternative to ineffective and disruptive monetization techniques. Skill-gaming is a win-win for developers, bringing in extra revenue without interfering with gameplay."
Cashplay.co monetizes mobile and online games via player-versus-player cash tournaments, enabling developers to generate revenue from their games by offering gamers the ability to compete against each other for real money.
Cashplay.co offers its service in all but 13 countries worldwide and allows gamers to easily make payments via PayPal, Visa and MasterCard, services available for cash-based skill gaming exclusively on the cashplay.co platform.

With an experienced online gaming team using best-in-class technology, cashplay.co operates all the fraud-protection, geo-blocking, client-identification and cheat-prevention systems necessary for handling real cash in games.
