Monkey Tilt was founded in 2022 by Sam Kiki, a Las Vegas native who has operated some of the largest casinos in the U.S.

Monkey Tilt 由拉斯维加斯人 Sam Kiki 于 2022 年创立，曾经营美国一些最大的赌场

The company's platform offers sports betting and casino games like blackjack, roulette, and slots, with poker and a crypto payment infrastructure coming soon.

该公司的平台提供体育博彩和赌场游戏，如二十一点、轮盘赌和老虎机，以及扑克和加密支付基础设施即将推出。

Kiki told Fortune that he envisions users logging into Monkey Tilt and spending hours on the site, talking to friends and gambling together.

Kiki 告诉《财富》杂志，他设想用户登录 Monkey Tilt 并在该网站上花费数小时，与朋友聊天并一起赌博。

“You're gambling together. You're having fun the same way you would in Vegas,” he said.

“你们在一起赌博。你会像在维加斯一样享受乐趣，”他说。

In addition to being an online casino, Kiki also sees Monkey Tilt as an entertainment company.

除了在线赌场之外，Kiki 还将 Monkey Tilt 视为一家娱乐公司。

The company is partnering with celebrities and influencers to create content that will drive users to its platform.

该公司正在与名人和有影响力的人合作创建内容，以吸引用户使用其平台。

This is similar to the strategy used by online crypto casino Stake.com, which partners with influencers who promote the site to their users by gambling on their livestreams.

However, Kiki says that Monkey Tilt goes a step further, building its brand around these partnerships.

然而，Kiki 表示，Monkey Tilt 更进一步，围绕这些合作伙伴关系打造了自己的品牌。

“We're going to partner with all the dopest streamers, the cultural icons, the coolest brands but on top of that, we need to make content with them,” he said.

“我们将与所有最优秀的主播、文化偶像、最酷的品牌合作，但最重要的是，我们需要与他们一起制作内容，”他说。

The platform also has a chat function that allows users to communicate with each other while they gamble and donate a portion of their winnings to other users.

该平台还具有聊天功能，允许用户在赌博时相互交流，并将部分奖金捐赠给其他用户。

“We're very big on the integration of lots of social features. I think the gaming platform of the future looks much more socially immersive than the gaming platforms of the past,” Kiki said.

“我们非常注重整合许多社交功能。我认为未来的游戏平台看起来比过去的游戏平台更具社交沉浸感。”Kiki 说道。

Monkey Tilt launched in March and has already reached a monthly betting volume of $200 million.

Monkey Tilt 于 3 月份推出，每月投注额已达 2 亿美元。

The company currently has 15 employees, but Kiki plans to use a large portion of the funding to pay for advertising and marketing.

该公司目前拥有 15 名员工，但 Kiki 计划将大部分资金用于支付广告和营销费用。

He also plans to use the money to build out a tech team to maintain the platform.
