VGW

VGW was founded by Laurence Escalante in 2010 with the vision of creating a virtual world with focus on social gaming and entertainment.

After a few early iterations and continuous development, Chumba Casino was launched in 2012. Laurence and a small team of smart developers had succeeded in incorporating sweepstakes functionality into our social casino gaming platform.

Working with leading sweepstakes and gaming lawyers in the US to ensure that Chumba Casino was fully compliant with all local laws, this opened up the tremendously under-serviced US market.

Since then, Chumba Casino has grown into a leading social gaming provider offering players a broad range of fun and engaging games. VGW also developed some formidable partnerships with the world’s largest and best social media networks and payment processors.

What started as a slots-only offering has grown to soon include a number of social table games including black-jack and roulette.

In late 2016 VGW launched Global Poker – an online poker room based on VGW’s proprietary sweepstake technology (patent pending). Global Poker’s unique technology lets poker enthusiasts play a range of social poker games, including Texas Hold’em and Omaha, and redeem Sweeps Coins dollars prizes. The patent pending sweepstake technology will, when granted, provide a significant competitive advantage for VGW to expand into other social gaming verticals including lottery, sports, bingo and others.
