EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup operating globally, has announced the closing of its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The round was backed by a private investor from the European Union.
Earlier, in December 2025, EasyWin closed its first seed round at $15.5 million. The funding came from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.
