First couple questions drive out the euro trash.

Twice I've known 11 out of 12

I've only seen a good split pot once. Two people split six thousand

Every other time it's been like 17.38

Sister in law is a software tester,

Post by: wetwillie on January 03, 2018, 06:55:00 AM
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.
Title: Re: trivia hq
Post by: Cire on January 03, 2018, 08:58:30 AM
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.
