We teach people about the fun challenge of financial markets with a free app, "SparkProfit", that actually pays cash prizes to players who would generate long-term returns. We call this "Virtual Trades, Real Profits". SparkProfit's uniquely intuitive mobile-first interface has helped us sign 168,000 players in 200 countries, on a CPA of just $0.60. Our new app takes this one step further.
