ZEAL Ventures has invested in the British games start-up Circl Gaming Ltd.

ZEAL Ventures is thus investing in the emerging games market.

Circl: The game of chance

Circl is the developer of a real-time game that allows players to participate in games with winning opportunities during Premier League soccer matches via a mobile app. Circl uses micro-events in live soccer (e.g. corners, goals, free kicks, yellow cards) to create a winning game that offers a unique gaming experience based on random chance. While Circl was originally intended as a competition for groups of friends (“Circls”), players can now play in larger Circls and play and chat with like-minded people across the UK.
