Skill-based gaming is carving out a growing niche in the iGaming space, and Toast is positioning itself as the tech powering the movement. The company just announced a new integration with Sparket, a social gaming platform known for turning entertainment into engagement.
The partnership brings real-time, peer-to-peer games to Sparket’s users and signals a broader shift toward multiplayer, skill-based formats that go beyond traditional house-edge gambling.
Sparket Adds Toast’s Real-Money Multiplayer Games
Toast’s integration with Sparket marks a meaningful step forward for both companies. Sparket users now have access to Toast’s real-time, skill-based game portfolio, starting with 21 Hustle—a peer-vs-peer version of blackjack where players compete against each other instead of the house. Also live on the platform are Gin Rummy and Pinfall, a skill-based game inspired by Plinko.
For Sparket, it’s a strategic move to expand user engagement and monetization.
“We wanted to find new ways to engage with our users, giving them more reasons to stay on our site and help us generate new revenue,” said Aaron Basch, CEO of Sparket. “Toast’s skill games will help us do both.”
For Toast, it’s further validation of a tech stack built for speed, scale, and regulation-ready real-money gaming.
What Sets Toast Apart
Toast is not a traditional game publisher. It offers an end-to-end technology stack that operators can integrate in minutes, complete with multiplayer infrastructure, matchmaking, payments, fraud detection, and live operations. Co-founders Aman Agarwal and Jatin Narang, along with CTO Avinash Srivastava, bring deep industry experience—including past leadership at Mobile Premier League and engineering at Zupee.
Their goal? To provide a seamless, legal, and engaging skill gaming experience that appeals to today’s mobile-first, competition-hungry audience. With over 50 real-money games shipped and $500 million in annual recurring revenue generated in previous roles, the founding team has the credentials—and the infrastructure—to deliver.
Skill Gaming’s Regulatory Tailwinds
According to Toast, the U.S. skill-based real-money gaming market is already worth $6 billion and benefits from clear legal pathways in over 40 states. That makes it an appealing channel for iGaming operators looking to offer real-money play without navigating the full complexity of casino licensing.
Sparket CEO Aaron Basch points to exactly that value: Toast’s games give users new ways to play—and stick around—while generating additional revenue without compromising compliance.
More Games, More Partners, More Momentum
While the Sparket launch focuses on three titles, Toast’s roadmap is just getting started. A strategy-based basketball game is in the works, along with two more titles expected to launch soon. The company is also expanding through other recent integrations, including GamerSaloon (a video game competition platform) and Ember Fund (a social Bitcoin app).
The bigger picture: Toast is building the infrastructure for next-gen skill gaming—one that blends multiplayer design with real-money mechanics and platform-friendly integration.
