Tiidal Gaming Group Corp (CSE:TIDL) announced that its wholly-owned division Sportsflare has signed a partnership agreement with Skirmish Limited, an app-driven community gaming platform based in the Isle of Man.
Launched globally in January 2021, Skrmiish is the first gaming app that allows gamers, streamers, teams as well as brands to collaborate, compete and monetise their gaming experiences. The app is built for users to compete in tournaments and bet on player-vs-player and player-vs-environment (PVE) games.
Through the partnership, Tiidal Gaming said Skrmiish will integrate Sportsflare's Bet-on-Yourself infrastructure, which includes account verification, pricing, risk management, settlement, and match data solutions into its platform to offer PVE skill-based gaming to its users. The collaboration begins with a rollout for Fortnite as Skrmiish plans to deploy Sportsflare's technology offering on more immensely popular esports titles in the future.
