EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup operating globally, has announced the closing of its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The round was backed by a private investor from the European Union.
Earlier, in December 2025, EasyWin closed its first seed round at $15.5 million. The funding came from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.
EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. With a team of eight people, the startup has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes, and operates across major markets.
Since its launch in 2025, EasyWin has shown strong operational and product growth:
- 25% month-over-month (MoM) growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating
- Expansion into 12 countries with localised legal opinions and payment infrastructure
- PayPal approval for its MCC and full integration of its payments stack with leading global providers
- GLI certification from an independent testing agency, confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products
- Industry-leading revenue per employee, driven by extensive use of AI and a lean operational structure
“In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform,” said Ivan Leshkevich, founder of EasyWin. “To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”
