Gamersfy is a Madrid-based online competitive gaming platform where amateur, semi-professional and casual players compete in tournaments and 1v1 matches for cash prizes. Its games include FIFA/EA FC, NBA 2K, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Free Fire, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars, and it uses real-time result capture with automated refereeing, a tiered prize system and a virtual wallet. Álvaro Remiro and Abel Chocano founded the company in 2017. It has since reported more than 1.5 million users worldwide, mainly in Spain and Latin America. The company went through the Lanzadera and SeedRocket accelerator programmes and raised business angel funding, including a €230,000 round in July 2020 led by René de Jong through Startupxplore. In January 2024 Spanish gaming group Grupo Orenes acquired a majority stake and relaunched the platform as Winnder.
