Singapore Stock Exchange now on UMOO!

Earlier this summer, we launched the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) with real-time market data from the Straits Times Index (STI) on our platform.  By doing so, we provided U with extended trading hours, more tournaments, and more cash!  To celebrate, we hosted the ‘Singapore Daily Stock Challenge – $100 Guaranteed’ events every day for a full week after the launch.  We hope you enjoyed!

UMOO Giveaways – Take home more than just $$$

Taking home cash is always fun, but we at UMOO like to spice it up from time to time.  That’s why we hold various Giveaway Raffles, where active traders get the opportunity to take home awesome prizes like Nintendo Wii consoles.  At the start of the summer, we were pretty excited to give out a Nintendo Wii to Epimanes.  Later, user Violetgreen won a slick iPod Nano for FREE from the Mid-Summer Giveaway Raffle. 

It’s simple: Play more, get more – and enjoy our monthly Giveaways.
