We are a publisher and curator of mobile entertainment experiences.
We believe users should play and not pay. That is why we have created Playmium, a network of high quality, sponsored mobile content. Our goal is simple; we take the best mobile content on the market and match it with non-intrusive ad sponsorships. The result is fun, non-exploitive entertainment that users can enjoy forever and will never be asked to pay a dime – ever.
Our network is built on honesty and loyalty. We partner only with the most talented developers and trusted advertisers and then connect them with the perfect audience for their content.
We have a team of passionate individuals with decades of experience in the gaming, advertising, and entertainment industries. Gigataur is also part of the Wesley Clover portfolio of venture capital investments, led by Terry Matthews, one of the world's top technology entrepreneurs.
