Probably trying to get their IT crap together so they don't lose all their base before they really get a good following

lose their base?

they're giving away free money on a daily basis, pretty sure the base will do whatever they want the base to do

Yeah, I'd love the crap out of the entire iOS base going away, more money for the rest of us.

There are no ads, so how are they making money to give the money away?

They aren't making any money right now and that's on purpose, once everyone is hooked they will integrate sponsorships into it. The holding company of Trivia HQ got multiple millions in venture capital funding so that's where the initial payouts stem from.  I suppose they could be data mining the existing users and selling that already.

no idea how this works but my sister in law was saying that the data that they collect when they are live/having bugs and issues along with fixes is extremely valuable to people who do the work that she does.

She thinks that they are probably working with software developers collecting and selling data from their live streams.

There will no doubt be a lot of product placement and ads during the live games in the future

I honestly hadn't considered it until I read an article about it but a lot of media people think this format will essentially start to replace TV shows.  Something called cheddar is out and does something similar with news stuff I guess.

What a brutal game, three winners out of 640,000. Awesome for those three, $666 each. That dumb ass cat question knocked me out too.

If we can get access to 531,000 accounts we can brute force this thing.
