Ogier advises Monkey Tilt on successful US$30 million Series A funding round

Ogier's corporate and funds experts in the BVI acted as counsel for the BVI-based holding company of online gaming platform Monkey Tilt in its successful Series A funding round, securing US$30 million in capital.

Monkey Tilt, a Curacao-licenced online gaming platform that combines elements of entertainment and gambling to create socialised gaming experiences, is led by Las Vegas native and former MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment executive Sam Kiki. This funding round, which closed last month and was led by Pantera Capital, brings the total amount of capital raised by Monkey Tilt to over US$50 million. The funding will support Monkey Tilt's plans to expand its blockchain-based gaming and entertainment platform.

The BVI team was led by partner Michael Killourhy assisted by associate Holly Bartlett. 

Michael said: "Working with Sam and his team on this deal was truly exhilarating. They brought their excitement and passion to every part of the table, and we are thrilled to have played a role in the launch of a platform which looks set to shake up the online gaming business and has already created considerable buzz across the industry."
