7 Gaming App Business Success Stories [2023]
Here are some real life success stories of starting a gaming app business:
1. Online Solitaire ($180K/year)
Holger Sindbaek (from Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark) started Online Solitaire over 5 years ago.
Hello everybody! My name is Holger and I’m a designer-turned-developer from Denmark. In the last couple of years, I’ve been working on a solitaire gaming website called Online Solitaire, which features the most popular solitaire games such as Klondike, Spider, and Freecell.
At the moment Online Solitaire earns about $1,500 each month and I hope/expect that number to go up in the future.
2. Sand Box ($42M/year)
Sebastien Borget (from Remote) started Sand Box ago.
