What 6D Global Technologies does

6D Global Technologies is a publicly traded company listed under ticker SIXD (NASDAQ/OTC), founded in 2004 and headquartered in New York with 51–100 employees. Per its current first-party website operations, the company runs 6dglobal.com, an independent content and affiliate marketing platform that reviews and ranks offshore online poker sites accepting California residents. The core product is the California Online Poker Reviews site, built around a proprietary 15-criteria Poker Site Rating Methodology covering licensing, player safety, payment reliability, withdrawal speed, game variety, player traffic, competition level, software performance, mobile compatibility, bonuses, rake and fees, customer support, responsible gambling tools, and platform reputation.

The business model is performance-based affiliate and advertising revenue: the site earns commissions when referred users sign up or deposit at partner poker operators including CoinPoker, Ignition Casino, ACR Poker (Americas Cardroom), BetOnline, Bovada, Black Chip Poker, Stake.us, SportsBetting.ag, and Ya Poker. The site explicitly states that affiliate compensation does not influence editorial rankings, and content is distributed through the company's own website targeting California-based US players. The go-to-market is content marketing and SEO, with top-of-funnel organic search and bottom-of-funnel affiliate links.

Historically, the company operated as a digital marketing and digital technology consulting firm, evidenced by the 2015 acquisitions of SwellPath (digital analytics) and Storycode (mobile storytelling) and a $10,000,000 funding round in August 2015 (preceded by a $1,052,498 round in December 2014). The company is led by founder, Chairman, and CEO Tejune Kang, with Steve Smith serving as managing director. The current product surface reflects a significant pivot from the legacy digital-marketing-consulting positioning to a niche, affiliate-driven content business in the California online poker vertical.
