Erik Bergman and a friend started to build guides about online bingo back in 2010, with the goal of ranking them in Google. They spent two years figuring out SEO and affiliate marketing before going full-time in this venture.

On the 11th of February 2016, my guest’s 28th birthday, his company went public in Sweden and he made $15 million.

In early 2018, he started a new company by spending $1,000,000 on a new domain “Great.com” and he aims to build the next generation of charity by making as much money as possible and giving it all away.
