SPOPLATFORM Company

What SPOPLATFORM Company does

SPOPLATFORM Co., Ltd. is a private Seoul-based company that develops and produces sports games, operating under the Dartbeat (다트비트) sub-brand. Its core products are the DBS100, a professional electronic dart machine with a 43-inch full-touch screen, LED target lighting, high-performance sensor board, 2.1-channel woofer, and full-color halo backlight, and the DBH100, a professional soft-tip dart machine that inherits the DBS100 sensor and target design. The machines run proprietary digital game solutions including 01Game, Cricket, Count Up, Match, Bull Shot, Easy Cricket, and Space Jump, and are intended for both commercial venues (bars, entertainment venues, sports centers) and home/individual consumers.

The platform architecture combines hardware, software, and connectivity: up to 18 machines can be linked via router for offline and online tournaments, a smartphone app authenticates users via QR-code scan and manages scores, rankings, friends, chat, and game items, and a bidirectional internet broadcast/relay service supports real-time tournament streaming. The DBS100's monitor and camera stack additionally deliver IoT-adjacent services — CCTV crime prevention, environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, fine dust, fire detection), and education/health content. The company has filed five utility model and business method patents covering target fabrication, noise-reducing panels, offline multi-client tournament routing, ToF-sensor fraud prevention, and facial recognition competitor confirmation.

SPOPLATFORM's revenue model rests on three streams: hardware sales of DBS100 and DBH100 machines, recurring game-solution and mobile-app subscriptions, and transaction-fee broadcast/relay services. Go-to-market is primarily product-led growth via direct sales to venues and self-serve mobile app adoption, supported by a bilingual Korean/English website, YouTube product demonstrations, and social media presence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is led by Representative Director Kim Soo-hyun (김수현) and is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or cap-table information.
