Need Gaming Website - Details included

Overview GameGoon is a competitive gaming website where users pay an entry fee, play a game with one another and win a portion of the entry fees. Users can use a credit card or PayPal to add funds to their accounts, create profiles and send direct messages to one another. We offer users the option to challenge other users directly, choosing the game, amount of money staked and other details. They can also compete in Quick Matches, public head-to-head matches, or Tournaments, where multiple users join and compete in a traditional bracket style for the prize, paying multiple places. Users also have the option to create teams that can hold up to 10 users. Users can then compete as a team in any of the aforementioned play styles; challenges, quick matches and tournaments.
