We believe the increased popularity of mobile gaming paired with the strong history of betting creates a market opportunity for an esports wagering platform -- one our recently relaunched Gogawi platform can fulfill. We're excited to introduce Gogawi to Thailand's esports enthusiasts, providing them with one place to both watch esports tournaments around the world and wager on them."
