About the Company:
Yes this is for real, and yes it is legal.
If you have every played a game against a friend with a little money on the line you already know: whether it’s $1 or $100, it’s just more fun when a little cash is involved. That’s why we built GameSetCash.
There are 4 of us. All of us are sports gamers who have been known to spice up the action with cash from time to time. We are all friends, so even before we started GameSetCash we would always get together to play Madden or Fifa and going at it for $5 or $10 a game.
We are not about finding the best gamers to compete for big cash prizes, there are plenty of other sites to do that. We are a site for people like us, a place where friends can meet up, trash talk, and play their favorite sports games with a little cash on the line.
