AviaGames Inc. (Avia)

AviaGames Inc., also known as Avia, is a privately held mobile gaming company specializing in skill-based competitive games with real-money prize opportunities. Founded in 2017, the company's mission is to deliver a fun-filled online gaming experience accessible to anyone, anywhere, by unleashing the competitive spirit in players. AviaGames is headquartered in San Mateo, California.

The company's core offering is the Pocket7Games platform, which unifies over 15 unique skill-based titles under a single membership and wallet system. These games span various genres, including card, bubble shooter, bingo, sports, and puzzle games, with popular titles such as "Solitaire Clash," "Bingo Tour," "Bingo Clash," and "8 Ball Strike." AviaGames employs a sophisticated algorithm to ensure fair, skill-based matching, distinguishing its offerings from games of chance. While initially focused on the US market, Avia has expanded its reach to include the UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia.

Led by co-founder and CEO Vickie Yanjuan Chen, AviaGames has seen significant growth and recognition. In October 2023, the company unveiled its new corporate brand identity, Avia. Recent expansions include establishing a German subsidiary in December 2025 and a Global Trust Center in Singapore in March 2026.

As of February 2025, the company boasts over 55 million downloads worldwide and hosts 300 million monthly tournaments. The company was involved in a patent infringement lawsuit with Skillz, which resulted in a $43 million judgment in February 2024, later settled for $80 million, though AviaGames maintains its compliance with regulations.
