"Popularity for skill games continues to climb each year, particularly among mobile users, and it's only getting bigger," says Nancy MacIntyre, CEO, WorldWinner (formerly Game Taco). "As a pioneer brand for the genre, WorldWinner has been a key driver of that growth as the preferred platform for players looking to put their gaming skills to the test for a chance to win real cash prizes. It's that legacy and trusted reputation among consumers that led us to make it a part of Game Taco two years ago, and why we're making it our company name today. We're looking forward to not only continuing the legacy but growing it with the next era of WorldWinner!"

Industry analysts estimate that the global skill gaming market size will continue to grow, reaching over $85 billion by 2030².

  • Play and compete cross-platform on WorldWinner.com and the Mobile App
  • Offers paid competitive game experience based on popular IPs by major consumer brands, such as Hasbro, Atari, Sony/GSN, and others

"Skill games are already well established as one of the most popular gaming categories among mobile players, and all indicators show that interest will only grow bigger," says David Nathanson, Executive Chairman, WorldWinner (formerly Game Taco). "As one of the most recognized brands in the industry, WorldWinner is well positioned to lead it forward in delivering a truly innovative, immersive game experience for consumers who enjoy the challenge and entertainment that only skill games can deliver."
