Obviously, it wasn’t the best thought out thing in the world: Kwari only launched at the beginning of this year.

Seems like the sort of thing that would make money if everyone was of a similar level of gaming. And if the actual game is good, of course.
The thing is that some people will never, ever win any money.

I can’t imagine why people would pay money to lose whilst making some hardcore gamer richer…
