Company Summary

Friendly betting is a universal experience. WannaBet builds WannaBetMe, a legal, mobile, social, peer-to-peer game that builds an online analogy for that experience. With WannaBetMe, you can make bets with your friends, “talk trash” while the bet is going on, “get props” when you win, and brag about it to your social network.
