Reece Jacobson says that “The beauty of the platform is that there is no limit to what you can bet on, as long as you can find a willing opponent,” adding that “We understand that friendly competition between people is transcendent across society, which in turn drives countless amounts of informal bets being placed between friends, family, and colleagues. Wayja provides a solution for anyone to record and settle bets in a fun, quick, and cashless environment.”
