We will not be offering gambling services through a Gibraltar company or license."]

The founder wanna to attract sports talking heads, thru sports agents —if I understood well, but be sure the check the post for yourself.

    Chris,
    Thanks for the post. We think people like competing with friends and people with similar interests… social networks provide a great way of helping people connect and engage socially while competing… and by letting users control the game, we let people engage in games about stuf fthey’re most interested in. Would love to have you in when we open up to public beta in a couple weeks. let me know if you want in.

    Chris,
    One correction to the above post.  Pikum will legally offer gaming services through Pikum Worldwide Limited, which is based in Alderney and will hold an Alderney eGambling license. We will not be offering gambling services through a Gibraltar company or license.
