Bidstack, an in-game advertising and game monetization platform, has raised $11 million in a new funding round. That brings the company’s total budget to $42 million.

The global in-game advertising market is projected to grow 11% annually through 2030 from an estimated $7.6 billion. This figure represents under 1% of the $850 billion global advertising market.

Side note: Amber Studios receives a $20 million investment.

Bidstack allows brands to advertise in games while preserving the in-game experience. These branded opportunities range from on-track banners and billboards in the city to LED scoreboards on the field, skins or other contextually relevant locations in the meta-universe.
