Social gaming startup Dobango has sacked seed funding from Silicon Valley angels and launched its new suite of games online, on Facebook and on mobile devices. Dobango players compete for top scores in virtual tournament and casino-style games to win merchant-sponsored prizes like Safeway and Starbucks gift cards, plus free movie passes and burritos, to name a few examples. According to some user feedback, the startup might even have the tenacity to compete with companies like Groupon and LivingSocial in bringing in repeat customers.
