More than twenty million people play VersusGame, and the list of influencers earning revenue on the app is constantly growing. John Vitti, founder and CEO of VersusGame, said in a statement, “Knowledge is power, and through VersusGame we are empowering the people to profit from that in a fun and exciting way through competition … It’s time to give back, not just take.”

VersusGame allows content creators to pose “prediction contests” to viewers, who can win cash and prizes. The companies that have created such contests include BuzzFeed, Billboard, ESPN, UFC, and the Walking Dead. The VersusGame platform is built around people’s habits and knowledge – and bets are focused on various pop-culture topics that interest players on a daily and weekly basis.
