The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is now working with the private sector to promote its esports market, which is projected to grow from 6.1 billion yen (US$56.8 million) in 2019 to 15.3 billion yen (US$140.6 million) in 2023. The ministry's goal is to generate 285 billion yen (US$2.6 billion) in economic benefits annually by 2025.

We believe Gogawi.com is an exciting and intuitive esports wagering platform built specifically with the next generation of bettors in mind, from improved payment options to new wagering products. We are eager to have the product live, and look forward to expanding our partnerships into the Japanese market."

Esports Technologies relaunched Gogawi.com in March 2021. One of many key upgrades to the platform is its partnering with the payment services solutions Apcopay and Astropay, which provide more deposit and withdrawal options and aim for faster settlement times.
